This is my take on the Entertainment industry. I’m not pessimistic or anything but the truth is. No one could guarantee any success in anything. Even in life.
My friends always tell me this. Countless of them. there’s no real formula to success, in entertainment that is. Good Body? Thousands of girls and guys got it. Great looks, have you throw a stone over any streets on Manhattan or Milan, guess how many good looking people you hit? Millions.
So what gives? Nothing. Nothing outside that you don’t know already. Jim Carey and Jimmy Kimmel wasn’t the best looking guy out there, they did it. Justin Timberlake wasn’t the smartest out there he did it. Nor do Julia Roberts or Tom Cruise know exactly which path to take and they made it.
So what gives is for you, and us all, it's that one question. How bad you want it? Are you going to do anything to have it? How hard are you going to go and how long are you willing to take it to have it? And with that 90% of hardwork and enthusiasm, at last what we all need is that one chance, one break. Some lucky SOB may get more than one. But at first you only need that one. It may not be your first success, first role or even first paycheck. Zac Efron first was in Summerland, and no one, I mean no one really liked his character. The skinny, little tyke that love the sister of the real icon of the show, Jesse McCartney (it's a bit of a history now.). But that one show, HSM brought thousands of other chances. You just have to have that chance and to grab it when you can and that luck to grab the right when it’s right.
99% hardwork, patience and persistence, just for that 1% of luck, to make it. That’s all there is.
Everyone would tell you that there’s no guarantee it would last either. But we all know it’s not guarantee we need, it’s enthusiasm. If you are really good, everywhere you are they’ll take you. You just need to know what’s good and what’s not. And then when it end, you’ll know exactly what’s in you that make it work and what’s not. And then you again work hard and wait for that chance again.
It can be tiring. It can be disappointing. Still the question is how much are you willing to give to have it? How much you want it? I’m not saying you must give up your conscience or moral values to want it. But there are ways to go about it. Let people know you exists, go to audition after audition, no matter how bad it is, how many you can get, go out there and do it. Train yourself to be better and do it some more. And if are talented then one day they’ll see it. But you must know exactly yourself to be critical of yourself to know what is good and what is bad with you. No one can teach you that.
When people say they made a mistake. So what we all do. A big one. So what! life goes on. Even yours. Forgive yourself learn from it and move on. Work more, learn from it. Be smarter. It is life and that is an experience, and in 5 years or 10 it meant nothing. Just a distance memory, a lesson learned.
The reason I love people like Pink and some of the people I met and loved is that not they are saint, or they are right everytime, it’s because they know life, they live life, they love life, they are certain of their own life. Not that certain about what they have or what they meant to the world or the world to them but they are living breathing being that is experiencing life. Everyone is different which makes it interesting and everyone is the same which makes us equal. I never say fair. Because the world never play fair. But equal, I can live with that. No matter how much we all have we die in the end. If you don’t for a million years?! trust me you’ll want to in the end. Whichever end that is.
So the last word is what life meant for you or me?! I found the most simple answer just about a year ago. Life is what’s present. The past you can’t change it, the future you can’t predict it. Only NOW, exactly this moment you can do something to change everything. Your mood, your experience, your talent, your life. So do it now.
