Defining Moments

How I responded to discouragement

  • THE NOISE

    Good luck, take care. Wake up and give up. What kind of dream, no money can’t succeed?

  • How I responded:

    People will definitely rate you, shake you and even give you more blows critics, however no matter how they perceive you as a person or even an artist, as long we’re conscientious, don’t have to bother too much about their negative remarks because they would be able to sense and also have to move ahead. Try to ignore as much as possible. It's not just the artistic industry with critics—some other industries will also have similar experiences.
