According to my view of life, constant whipping is necessary to pull out the hidden genius. As I have mentioned before, everyone is born with nature, some kind of genius, but unfortunately not everyone becomes a genius. This is where ‘luck’ plays its role. Everyone has slight genius when young, but it is actually hard to discover it. For instance, I could have had special talent in soccer. But since I didn't have many opportunities to play soccer when young, I missed the chance of becoming a soccer star. Hence, the lucky one, who finds out its talent by chance in the proper age, is the one who has much higher possibility of success. Actually, just because one found its talent, it doesn’t mean that one will be 100% successful and become the champion in that field. This is where ‘practice’ and ‘study’ play their roles.

Even when he ran out of the stage after messing up the whole music, his dad gave him a big hug and said, “Let’s go home now.” His dad showed support for Andrew at all times and without this, Andrew couldn’t have made through the harsh times. While having a mean trainer on one side, having a loving supporter on the other side would have been what encouraged him to never give up.
“To become an able and successful man in any profession, five things are necessary, nature, study, practice, luck, and love.” This is my point of view of success. Andrew had intrinsic talent in drumming, was lucky enough to discover such talent, studied and practiced with all his strength and with help from Fletcher, and also received full support and love from his father. Since he satisfied all five matters, he was capable of becoming the winner of his life. God is impartial. Everyone is given the opportunity to live a winning life. Please, live a passionate, blood-boiling life. Please, be the winner of your own
