What is your goal in life

This was the RJ i had written today. I thought since it was such an emotional ride, i might as well post it up here.

QUESTION: What is your goal in life?

A complex question that I can only bring forward a simple answer. My goal is to be a successful music producer in my life.

I don’t wish to be famous. I don’t want to earn big bucks. Those to me are indeed tempting and if I can have them, it will definitely be a great bonus. But even if I can’t have them, it wouldn’t stop me from being a successful musician. This might sound unrealistic to most adults, but it’s a passion and drive that keeps me going, on and on.

Although whenever people telling me to change my passion, to change my dream, to change my goals just because they see no future in this line of career. I would retort back that media is one of the most influential ways to get to people. And audio would be one of the easiest and commonly used ways. Almost everyone would have come in contact with songs before. It’s a field that might be hard to survive with but there will definitely be future in it.

It’s how I retort back, but not how I deemed it. Music is already part of my life. I can’t live without it. It’s more than just a past time, or another hobby. Not many can live with music, using music. But I want to.

If a passion that could be changed so easily, it’s no longer a passion. If a goal can be changed every few years, then one can never reach his destination. If a dream is meant to come true, it’s not called a dream. That’s reality. I will never change my goal. It’s a passion that will come to pass in reality.

People say that I’m dumb. Not only because I am refusing to have a more mainstream kind of goals, but also coming into Sonic Arts of 26 points with a raw score of L1R4 of 13. I didn’t care much about what the surroundings thinks. As long as my parents are supportive and my heart is for it, I think it is pretty much good enough.

Sonic arts are all about sound management. They even touch on music composition. That’s what I really want to do!!! And even my IG is Electronic Music Production who teaches me producing. I can even learn how to record my own demo.

THIS RJ IS GETTING ME TO BE SO EXCITED IN WRITING IT!!! Sorry if it becomes too long.

Some of my friends had also asked me why I would want to be a music producer. Why not be a singer? A keyboardist and drummer would be fine too. (YES, I know how to play drums and I am so proud of it.)

This is something I had felt for a long time but didn’t really know how to express it. Probably this would have linked to why I didn’t like pop music. All these mainstream music is more and more into what people wants and not how a piece should be. They are producing songs in which people would like. And not music in its purest form, and in purest form, I mean music as to how music wants itself to be produced. I want to be someone who creates music on how it wants itself to be created. I have thought about being a musician myself and to me, a producer is pretty much like a musician.

We play music and we let music play us. Sometimes, it’s not that if we wanted to play music or not. But it’s also up to music to see if they want to let us play them.

GOSH. I could go on forever while talking about music. I guess I would have to stop now. I have no idea why, but this suddenly felt so much like my journal instead of my reflective journal. But in anyway, this entry has what my heart really speaks. I hope I didn’t go out of topic at the end of the day.

You will realize that happiness is actually very simple… … when you’re doing the things you love. (享受在你喜歡的人事物，你會發現快樂…… 其實很簡單.)
