AMA - I've been doing concentration meditation daily for roughly 9 years (pt.2) - AMA

I have a feeling that you've done that lol

Not that specifically, but I have lived my life very excitingly.

Do you plan in the future to do this ? What kind of advantages do you think learning new languages brings for you personally ?

I do it actively and currently. A lot of people "plan" to do things but they never set dates. They "plan" to do things in the future but never do. I've realized that if I want things its either I do them or I don't. There's no way around it. Don't waste time. If you want to do it and you have time, don't do it. Fuck being lazy.

What kind of advantages do you think learning new languages brings for you personally ?

Business largely.

I'm considering lately to become a music producer/DJ in the future because : 1.I fucking love music , hear it all time 2.Want to be famous (might sound superficial).

Do it, you can. People always jokingly say, "Oh you'll never be able to do that, one in a million people barely achieve that", but that's bull shit. The reality is one in a million people ACTUALLY put forth the effort required. Anyone can do it. Famous musicians don't make that much money. The reality is it doesn't require that much effort in comparison to a lot of things. I don't consider 1 million, or even 10 million dollars a lot of people. I base that comparison off of how much money the highest earners earn. I have the mentality that if they can do it, then I certainly can. Most famous musicians make in the range of 1-5m, and getting to that point is not difficult by any means at all. It just requires that you do it correctly. Learn from those that have come before you and shape your style around this. You can still be unique but the mistake most musicians make is they try to re-invent the wheel. Don't.

Are these two reasons strong enough to get there or are they just superficial ?

Money, fame, excitement, experience, social/business connections, etc. There are so many non-music opportunities that have opened up to me simply because of my success in the music-fame area that have enabled me to make so much additional money. Good notoriety is extremely useful if you take advantage of having it.

What drove you to pursue your goals in the music industry besides money ?

Well I wanted fame, I wanted girls everyone to swoon over me, and really I wanted to be able to rub it in peoples faces and with a sort of attitude of "I'm better than you". Lol. That sounds super dickish but the reality is most people who want to be famous want this. I'm not an arrogant or dickish person in person, but I have my desires.
