Hi Friends, There Are A Lot Of Guys Who Are Doing What They Really Dont Want To Do. Look Me As An Example...i, Manish, Have A Lot Of Desires And Capabilities. -i Can Play Guitar Comfortably- Thats My Capability -i Want A Good Future In Music- Thats My Desires I Can't Fulfill My Desires Because I Can't Prove My Capability. I Have A Lot Of Responsibilities....my Parents Are Dependent On Me. I Know To Prove My Self I Have To Devot A Lot Of Time. The Struggle Today Have Changed. The Capability Alone Dosnt Work, You Must Have A Lot Of Money Or/and A Strong Background. I Have The Voice That Can Win Million Of Hearts I Can Play The Guitar That Can Tear The G**d Of Listners. But Like Million Of Guys The Truth Of Life Is ..... I Am Doing The -9 To 9- Job In A Company For My Family. I Had To Wait A Lot To Purchase An Electric Guitar And Learn Guitar On My Own...... Only I And God Knows How........ This Is Not The Story Of Only Manish......there Are A Lot Of Guys Who Face The Same Story...... Please Freinds Help Me What Should I Do? Should I Countinue The Same Life...... Or Should I Change The Way Of Living Life And Try To Win My Sky Only Once....... Please Reply....and Help.......plz..plz..plz
ur in a deadlock situation.... honestly I cant advice u...u are the one to make a decision... balance the pros and cons and then do it All the best (as bjr said u'll need it)
Cant we... find a mid-way ... somehow?? Do your job and still continue with zeal for your passion? So that ways ... all stakeholders are happy? I know someone who is doing that....Working and is still a part of a band and trust me... its not that you need to have a strong background. You need to have talent and i m sure it will be recognised. Good luck !!
i really feel sorry to know about ur problem..indeed there r many musicians who have a great potential but dont get an opening or even if they can move towards that direction they are burdened and obstructed by other responsibilities..well i dont think u shud sacrifice or let go of either or these 2 things..coz if uL leave ur guitar and lead a family man/officr goer's life..one day uL surely get frustro or the discontentment would break u down not that u can abadon ur family and chase ur dreams...so u need to strike a balance between both of these things..but a hectic schedule of 9 to 9 is a tuff thing and in this bz schedule u cant take time out for guitar... do u want to become a commercial guitarist?..if yes then scope is lil bleak..u wud have to get into part time stuff maybe...put ur guitar on backburner for sumtime..and look for a job which is less tormenting and less hectic then this 9 to 9..maybe 9 to 5 job or one with 2 offs..like bpo jobs..u've to do a job just to support the family obligation..so search for such a job and then side by side..u can arrange for ur gigs i knw its all very tuff..but if u cant live without music..therez no other way out then to walk on this tuff road all the best!! and hope uL get outta this mess soon
Ofcourse u shld not ignore ur resposibilities. Perhaps a change in job/lifestyle can help to an extent! Take time to plan a change wisely - dont despair. - See if you can find friends who share similar interests .. (so u dont have to spend all by urself) can also consider forming a band -- or look out for a chance to showcase ur talent wherever/whenever possible... All the Best ! << & u posted this thread from office ha?? >>
