The Art of Being Humble

The Art of being Humble

Many times, on the journey to success in the entertainment industry, you can get lost in where you are now and where you want to be. No one becomes successful over night. It is something that takes a lot of times and hard work. Right now I am in a stage of being humble. What this means is, I have acknowledged my accomplishments but I don’t let them make who I am. Being humble means knowing that you still have a lot more to learn, and will probably continue to learn, all throughout your professional career. The entertainment industry is really hardcore. From artist to manager to record executive to movie executive, everyone is fighting for a place and hoping that someone falls off so that they can take that place. The more you know the better off you will be. When interviewing for jobs, especially in the entertainment field, just having a degree is not enough. You have to have work for experience that proves that in some time in your life, you have done the work that is required of the job that you are applying for. Being humble and knowing that you have to start somewhere, usually at the bottom, working your way to the top, is the best way to get to where you want to be. For myself, I know sometimes it can be a bit frustrating being passed over time and time again because of lack of experience, especially when you think you have enough experience. I just remind myself to be humble and to try to learn as much as possible from any job that I take on, so that one day when I do get to the interview of my dream, I can get the job of my dreams. Humble yourself but don’t doubt yourself. If you put in the work, you will eventually reap the benefits.
