给自己的忠告

Is the grass JUST greener on the other side?

My answer: NO.

Are other people JUST better than us?

My answer: NO.

Don't think that you're always inferior to other people, even in our imperfections and inabilities, we are special and unique. The beauty of many things in life lies in its imperfections, if we will only learn to embrace it and use it to fuel us on to become even better and even stronger.

I know I didn't do well, but it wasn't my best. I'm not inferior to the taiwanese, Singaporeans are not inferior to them in any other way.
However, neither am I inferring that we are better. 不要断章取义。

人比人，气死人。

音乐本来就应该是一种享受。

不应该因为音乐而发生任何争执。

Music heals the soul.

音乐是一个很 personal 抒发内心，表达自我的方式，不该拿来比赛，做比较。
可是，没有办法，有争议性的节目才会有效果，才会精彩，收视率才会高，
想要唱歌的我们也只好利用这些舞台来呈现自己的音乐，自己的理念。
可以活着出来，已经很厉害。
可以不迷失自己，保存着自己最纯洁最狂野的一股热血更是难上加难。
一场比赛可以改变你的命运，但也不代表一切。

Music is international, we were not meant to go there to show them what we can do or prove anything to them. We were meant to go there as people who love to sing, and to enjoy the process.

I don't care how 黑暗 this industry can be, or how many conspiracy theories there are out there now about this. Like I said, I'm trying my very best to put aside the numerical results. There are many things in life that can't be compared or weighed on a scale. Singing/Music for example is one. We are unique in many ways. No one voice is the same, no one style is the same. Sure you can say "aiya, this person not special one. This voice I hear a thousand times before."

Many singers who are successful now have had to endure such comments. They proved their critics wrong.

I'm not saying this is the rule of thumb for everyone who aspires to sing. But I'm saying, if you quit believing in yourself then you'll never get anywhere.

If you think the grass is SIMPLY greener on the other side, then you'll never be content, you'll forever be placing your sights on something which was not meant to be yours in the first place. Why not spend some time, look at the people the greenery near you, and learn to appreciate the beauty of it.

Learn to be content in where you have been placed, and start believing in the people closest, dearest,nearest to you.

Start from yourself.

I'm starting from myself.

I need to give me some time, God is helping me to grow my roots deep down into the ground, so I can grow into a tall and strong bamboo shoot.

And this tall bamboo shoot won't JUST be not as tall or not as strong as the bamboo shoots from the other country.

So don't say "I'm JUST not as good."

If you'll JUST believe. Because, 故事才刚刚开始 ok.

每个人的人生，每个人的故事，由自己掌控，故事的结尾由自己决定。

请你听听这首歌，就算世界遗弃了你，
天上还是有一个爱你的神，世上还有一个可以为自己鼓掌的自己，





五月天
我心中尚未崩坏的地方

醒在陌生的地方
镜头变成了刀枪
耳语也变成了真相
吉他告别了肩膀
诗人弃守了边疆
我们活在巨大片厂

幸运的孩子
爬上了殿堂
成果代价都要品尝
单纯的孩子
是否变了样
跟着游戏规则学着成长

轰轰烈烈的排行
沸沸扬扬的颁奖
跟着节奏我常迷惘
当人心变成市场
当市场变成战场
战场埋葬多少理想

回想着理想
稀薄的希望
走着钢索我的刚强
伟大和伪装
灰尘或辉煌
那是一线之隔
或是一线曙光

每个孤单天亮
我都一个人唱
默默的让着旋律
和我心交响
就算会有一天
没人与我合唱
至少在我的心中
还有个尚未
崩坏的地方

歌手追逐销售量
记者追逐点击量
没有谁比谁更善良
无论天后或天王
无论小兵或老将
曲终人散都要苍凉

期待着彩虹
所以开了窗
窗外只有灼热闪光
所谓的彩虹
不过就是光
只要心还透明
就能折射希望

每个孤单天亮
我都一个人唱
默默的让着旋律
和我心交响
就算会有一天
没人与我合唱
至少在我的心中
还有个尚未
崩坏的地方

其实我们都一模一样
无名却充满了莫名渴望
一生等一次发光
宁愿重伤也不愿悲伤
让伤痕变成了我的徽章
刺在我心脏
永远不忘

默默的让着旋律
和我心交响

至少在我的心中
自己为自己鼓掌

每个孤独天亮
我都一个人唱
默默的让着旋律
和我心交响
就算会有一天
没人与我合唱
至少在我的心中
还有个尚未
崩坏的地方
孩子一样
不肯腐烂的土壤 wu~~

再唱再唱再唱
再唱再唱
