Lack of effort is an error. Mistakes are part of life they’re part of business, they’re part of our advocations, our games, every aspect of life has mistakes encoded into it.
John Bonham
The greatest drummer from Led Zeppelin. John Bonham was known for his attacking of the drum kit, his alternate rhythms, and his extraordinary effort in how he was playing his drums.
Decades after dying in 1980 his drumming is still studied. Bonham was part of arguably the greatest rock band that ever walked the face of the Earth. Now I know that other people would argue differently, but John Bonham decades after his death rings in the earbuds of new generations of fans.
Bonham’s effort was based around strength and syncopations and rhythms and he was extraordinary, and sometimes he was off time. His drumming was not matching the beat of the song, subtle yet present.
Lack of Effort is an Error
This error is…well, it’s human, it does bring a flavor to the music, humanity, and emotion. We forgive Bonham for this error, that is if we even perceive it. We also are seeing the error being completely swallowed by his efforts.
Mistakes they’re expected in music and in life however, when we make a mistake well an apology is in order. It’s part of the formula, but the formula has a part that was said earlier and that is that you get to take ownership of your error.
Nobody should question the effort you put in, even though it was an error. So, making mistakes is expected. Lack of effort, never.
