“If we had become people’s band, we’d be finished now”
— Freddie Mercury
Simplified Meaning:
This quote means that if a band or group had tried to please everyone and be what others wanted them to be, they wouldn't have lasted very long. Instead, staying true to themselves and their own vision has helped them survive and succeed. For example, consider a famous artist like Van Gogh. Initially, his work was not appreciated by the masses because it was different from what people were used to seeing. However, he continued to paint in his unique style. Over time, people began to see the value in his work, and now he is celebrated as one of the greatest artists ever. Similarly, if we always try to fit into what others want, we might lose our uniqueness and stop growing. By being ourselves, we can build something lasting and genuine. This advice can help you stay true to your goals and values even when it's tempting to change for others.
