"Stupid kids" have a spring

By Gregory MorganPublished 3 years ago 4 min read

At that time, he was undoubtedly the dumb kid everyone agreed on. His only dream was to be a carpenter, but in his family at that time, it was a matter of contempt.

He was born into a family with excellent educational environment, and both parents were teachers. However, although such a "near water tower" did not let him "get the month first." That year, his first exam failed, his mother had to sign him up for a local very famous cram school. According to legend, as long as the students who have studied in this cram school, there is no one who is not named in the gold list. However, since he went to this cram school, he broke the "record" of this cram school for the first time. Because, the second high school entrance examination, he became the first failed student in the history of cram school! He was accompanied by another, a child who was acknowledged to be mentally challenged.

This blow, let himself also very depressed, he knew that this must give the teacher parents lost face, back home, maybe waiting for him there is a "storm". However, to his surprise, his parents did not punish him, but let him work in their own gas line. Every day, he has to carry the gas through the smelly night market to deliver the gas made by his family to thousands of households.

Fortunately, his sister was not disappointed in him, as soon as he had free time to pull him around to apply, but each time, with little success. At that time, there was no evidence that he was a viable human being in society, because at every step he was told over and over again that he was doomed to fail. After repeated attacks, he himself became more confused about the future, and at that time, he did not even know what he wanted to do or what he could do, except as a carpenter.

However, at this time, a chance encounter with a gas delivery changed him completely. One day, he received a call to a company to deliver gas, to the place a look, he knew it was a music studio. The studio was blissfully air-conditioned, the producer was busy in front of the workbench, and a singer was practicing in the studio so ecstatically that no one noticed his existence. At that time, his indifferent heart was touched, if one day, he can be like them, how good ah!

After that day, he suddenly had a kind of inexplicable yearning for music and impulse, in order to gamble a breath, he finally admitted to a private professional called Hsinchu Mingxin, the score is not bad, but from his dream is further. Because he majored in electrical engineering at school! Also, the first reading is 5 years!

Those 5 years were crucial 5 years, because Gongzuo majored in science, he was very lonely and often frustrated. I'm a mess at school. Of more than 200 credits, he only took 50, and failed every other subject. Then he had to read it on and off for another two years, but he still didn't finish. Looking at the other students have graduated, he felt very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, during these seven years, there was one thing that made him successful. That is, he formed his own band, called "acoustic guitar Choir". Although this choir was not very popular in the campus which was led by electric guitar at that time, due to the rigidity of his hand and his poor guitar playing, he still gave people the feeling of being dull and stupid. But it was these "dull and stupid" years that laid the foundation of his musical career.

Later, out of a mutual interest, he made a girlfriend who was a singer. At that time, he still sent gas during the day, followed his girlfriend to participate in some planning meetings at night, at the same time, he also participated in his girlfriend's song selection, orientation, production and a series of processes. He is a kind person, perhaps due to interest, in his "follow" in the long years, gradually familiar with the whole process of song production.

Once, when the girlfriend is going to record a new record, the producer suddenly arrived in the mainland, there is no way, only catch the duck on the shelves, let him act as producer! It was his first job, and the first time in his life that he had taken on such an important role. To everyone's surprise, he tailor-made this album for his girlfriend, so that her girlfriend became popular! At the same time, that record solidified his position in the industry.

He began to write songs for Zhang Aijia, Zhao Chuan and other singers, and his songs "Lonely", "I finally lost you", "I am a little Bird", "Every day in my life", "Across the Ocean to see you", "Clear my heart" and other famous songs, each capital is loud and clear, even 20 years later today, Still entrenched in the major KTV golden song list, can not be replaced.

Yes, he is famous Taiwanese music producer Jonathan Lee.

Li Zongsheng from a gas line of learning without success to the producer of the successful course, a powerful to illustrate to us such a fact: "stupid children" also have spring, the key is to find the fulcrum of life. As long as you find a pair of scissors that can make the tree of life bloom, once the spring breeze of opportunity comes, it will be able to thaw the vast rivers and mountains of life and bring brilliant infinite spring!

(Sometimes misfortune is just a precursor to luck, a ladder leading to it.)
