AR Rahman is one of the most astute and prestigious music composers from the country, working since late 1980’s. The artist who is seen as such a reputed figure once shared an interesting take on how much the input matters when you need to achieve a desired output. Let’s look at the quote and understand in simple terms.
Quote by AR Rahman
AR Rahman once said, “When you do something with a lot of honesty, appetite, and commitment, the input reflects in the output.”
What does it mean
Breaking it down in simple words, when you do work with “honesty”, that is doing something while staying true to yourself, “appetite” as keeping in the hunger alive and “commitment” that is showing up on the days when inspiration is nowhere to be found are some of the ingredients for a desired output.Linking it to today’s world, we live where we are somewhat obsessed with shortcuts, life hacks and overnight success. It also reminds us that “Rome wasn’t built in a day.”Explaining to him his musical world, how algorithms, and social media likes may trick makers focusing entirely on the output—the final product, the praise, the reward. But Rahman, a man who has won two Academy Awards, two Grammys, and a BAFTA, flips the script. He argues that greatness isn’t a stroke of luck; it’s a reflection of your internal ingredients.So whether you are making a symphony like him, writing a report, or cooking a meal, if the ingredients are made purely, the output itself will care about it.
