Learn right from wrong

Have you ever thought to yourself that right now you, as a young adult, have responsibilities? Has it ever crossed your mind that what you do has consequences? I have all these questions because I think there is something in the air that is a bit off and is affecting certain individuals… albeit differently.

The people who don't want to listen to instructions think they have made it in life and make others' lives miserable. I am talking about certain entertainers who think just because they have PhDs or experience in the industry, they have nothing new to learn. Unfortunately for them, life is all about learning. To make it worse, technology is evolving each and every day and it is picking up speed. The way something was done yesterday might be outdated the following day. So, if someone, being a journalist, informs you that your work is not up to standard, do you know that they don't hate you or don't want you to succeed? They are simply doing their job and are also helping you to have quality work, so at the end of the day, your work can reach international standards and possibly get airplay all over the world.

So if you are taking your work to a radio station, ensure that it is in the latest format with the right resolution for quality. If you are taking your music video to a TV station, especially NBC, ensure that your work is of high quality in terms of audio and the visuals are in the correct format. If you are submitting your work to a newspaper, make sure that your artwork is in high resolution and your music is in a format so it can be listened to. Alternatively if you are not certain of what you should do, save yourselves time and money and ask for help instead.

To end this off, let us not try to be anything but ourselves. Do what you are expected to do whilst doing you.
