Welcome to Positive Masters where we develop our mindset and passion projects. In this video, let's study and work together for two 45-minute Pomodoros (study or work sessions). Step by step, let's get closer to our goals! I spent hours working while listening to catalogs of various piano music that I purchased the licenses for.

The more difficult the game, the greater your rewards will be for your personal growth. The money you...
