What don't they tell you about being a classical musician?
Unless you live and breathe the music and work VERY hard, you dont stand a chance. And even if you do all of that, sometimes you have to get lucky. The best thing to do is to learn dedicated practice. One doesnt need to play 46 (or more) hours each day. The point of diminishing returns is much sooner than that. But I digress

How much of a person's autobiography is generally sensationalized or true to his or her life?
This is a tough question. Even the most honest autobiography is selective, of course, but also unconsciously censored.

It is after all art not testimony

Why were the native Americans far less technologically developed than the Europeans at the time when the two populations first began interacting?
Whether or not they were underdeveloped is, as Howard observes, an open question. But to my mind, they were differently developed because their societies and technology had simply evolved just as far as they needed tono fartherto meet the challenges imposed by their environment. Which is exactly what any society and technology does; we white folks just havent reached the plateau yet.

For the same reason that all of his speeches given to bipartisan or non-political groups are disasters.

Manafort was greedy and felt invincible. The common thread was they all resonated with Trumps selfish thinking

Who was a better general during WWII between Bernard Montgomery, Georgy Zhukov, Dwight Eisenhower, and Erich von Manstein? Why?
Eisenhower's job was as 'politician' -- he had to heard the cats, which comprised a bunch of (generally) self important, high achieving men.

Ducted fans make for interesting designs, especially in single engine configurations. Have a look at the Edgley Optica:
