You have a choice, and this has been my choice

Just for myself, in case I'll forget it later.

In South Africa, Rodri from the United States can be compared with Elvis Presley. The album has sold 500,000 copies, but no one knows his origin. The locals wanted to find out, so they searched and searched, but heard that he had already committed suicide. At this time, Rodri's daughter found them by coincidence, saying that Daddy is not dead, but alive! This news made people who hoped to find him boiled, and also made music lovers in South Africa boil. It was the next day that Rodri was invited to South Africa for a concert... This guy who came back from the dead made me curious about his life experience. People were on fire, and his story shocked many people. To be honest, when I saw the concert that accommodated tens of millions of people, my adrenaline burst instantly.

but! These are just the stories of legends... The world is full of wonders, legends are everywhere, and we have already seen them as strange, so what is this?

What strikes me the most is not the story itself, but the choice of this great singer. He was born in a poor family, but he never lost his dream. The most important thing is that after the dream suddenly came, he was not bound by the dream, and chose to continue living the life before! He can be rich, but he chooses not to be rich... I take that seriously, not to say that I don't want to be as rich as he is, no. Instead, I feel that many people will never be able to return to their previous simplicity after they have been exposed to the red dust; many people have to become complicated after entering a complex society; many people have to choose to continue to surpass after they have achieved success. own success. It seems that he is well-informed, and after becoming famous, he has lost his choice...

This reminds me of what Chen Qi said when I took the GRE class before: the most precious thing is not simplicity, but the experience of the world After the complexity, choose simplicity.

U have ur choices.

Searching for Sugar Man quotes

  • Rick Emmerson: What he's demonstrated, very clearly, is that you have a choice. He took all that torment, all that agony, all that confusion and pain, and he transformed it into something beautiful. He's like the silkworm, you know? You take this raw material, and you transform it. You come out with something that wasn't there before. Something beautiful. Something perhaps transcendent. Something perhaps eternal. Insofar as he does that, I think he's representative of the human spirit, of what's possible. That you have a choice "And this has been my choice, to give you Sugar Man". Now, have you done that? Ask yourself.

  • Rick Emmerson: He had this kind of magical quality that all the genuine poets and artists have: to elevate things. To get above the mundane, the prosaic. All the bullshit. All the mediocrity that's everywhere. The artist, the artist is the pioneer.
