Nothing and Noone lasts forever. Infact in music, talent is not enough to keep you in the game. You gotta be on top of your game.

You snooze, you lose.

Some of them put pride first instead of hardwork. Just imagine the nonsense AY.com vomited?


The truth about getting to the top of the ladder in any career is, you require more work to stay at the top.
