吉他大师 Eric Johnson 的几句话另我感慨颇深
翻译：吓死神的鬼BB: In an age where so many define success as having big houses and fast cars, how do you define success?
..
EJ: People think that's what it's about because that vision is still the forum and they are not necessarily living in that situation. If they live in that situation, they'll realize that's just not what it's about. There's nothing fulfilling about that. The more money you have, the more money you want; the more stuff you have, the more maintenance you have - there's nothing fulfilling about it. There's a lot of bands that chase records deals and when they get the deal, they think their problems are solved - but they have a whole new set of problems. There's nothing different - you're just switching the problems. Success is being able trying to do what you want to do and try to at least make a living at it and get by. You can always shoot for the stars but you have to count your blessings if you're at least able to get by, do well, do what you want to do and maybe be able to make somebody happy along the way. That's success.
记者：在一个多数人以拥有豪宅、轿车来定义成功的时代里，你又是如何去定义成功的？
EJ:那些认为这就是所谓的成功的人，只不过是人云亦云，他们并不真的生活在那样的处境之中。如果他们“身临其境”，他们会明白事情根本就不是这样的。那根本就是个无底洞
，你越有钱，越是想要更多钱；你拥有的东西越多，你要维持它们的开销也就越大——
总之是个无底洞。有许多乐队趋之若鹜地想和唱片公司签约，他们自以为签约后，他们的问题就解决了——但等待他们的将是一堆全新的问题。换汤不换药
——你只是在不同的问题间“换台”。
成功是有能力去做你想做的事情，并至少可以靠它养活自己。你可以永远胸怀大志，但如果你仅仅只是凑合着过日子，你也要懂得知足常乐

1 没有钱的日子里想着有了钱就什么问题都解决了。在追求金钱的过程中逐渐散失了当年追求的金钱的理由，总觉得有了更好的环境跟设备就能做出更好的音乐。。等什么物质条件都拥有了， 发现满不是那么回事。
已经不再那么喜欢原来追求的那种不要很多钱的东西了。。。靠爱好吃饭是把双刃剑，下辈子让我选择，我指定去做跟音乐不沾边的工作
2 当年用一个50元的破随身听听崔健，唐朝，黑豹，BEYOND，。。。那时感觉听的很爽，现在用上万的设备却很少有听着很爽的音乐。。。原来用一把180元的红棉木吉他，每时每刻我都有好多音乐在脑海中涌现，现在用FENDER却涌出的都是屎。。。音乐没错，是我错了。。。。
来自音频应用吉他区 12点喝了杯咖啡 明天没了 很不错 早上好 哈哈 早上好 很棒~~~~转我围脖里。。。 人各有痔，有人追求音乐，有人追求金钱，怎么能以个人之喜好去否定他人之追求呢～ 被社会大环境催眠了.... 太好了，我也转到我微博得了。 很实在的话。 精辟 说的很不错
