I was looking at my own music, and I thought that none of it was good enough.

我開始懷疑，我是不是很傻？甚至考慮嘗試進入音樂產業。 如果這個傢伙誰的工作 與許多成功的藝術家告訴我，如果我按自己的方式去做，我就不會成功？

I started to imagine, like a world, a reality where I followed his advice and I did get big and famous like he said.

I realized that I would be unhappy.
