3 Strong Lessons from G-Dragon
G-Dragon never really brags about his own success, but he did say that he was very proud of his fans and his fellow artists and we can learn a lot from this.
1. Do What You Love To Do
To the people who think that you should only do what you love to do, let me tell you something, don’t worry about what people think. Always do what you love to do, no matter what people say about it.
2. Be Your Own Boss
Even though I’m older and I have a lot of responsibilities I wouldn’t trade this for anything at this point in my life.
I can do whatever the fuck I want to do.
