One of the things I greatly admire about my husband John is his have a go attitude. Since I have known him he has had a go successfully at languages, D.I.Y, art, poetry and literature, education, musical instruments, the list is endless. I at first thought he had done all these things before but started to realize that he just didn't fear failure the same way I did and would just "have a go" succeeding and proving to me that actually that is what life is about. Those who dare are at least in the running for success, as those who take a step back have no chance. I see that he has inherited this from the Burtons, his father and brother are very similar and I see in all of them "if they can do it so can I" attitude. I have been very grateful for this example in my life and hope it rubs off on the kids too!! :) In this photo John is having a go for the first time on a bass, his Dad giving him tips and playing along on the guitar. I walked in and started to sing along (I don't have a great voice), but I had a go and was very proud of my self that I managed to keep the tune and enjoyed the moment. Too often in life I think I have walked past an opportunity to just have a go!
