AR Rahman is one of the country’s most accomplished and renowned music composers, working since the late 1980s. The artist, who is seen as a celebrity figure, shared an interesting insight into how much input matters when you need to get the result you want. Let’s look at the quote and understand it in simple terms.
Quote from AR Rahman
AR Rahman once said, “When you do something with a lot of sense, hunger and commitment, the input reflects the output.”
What does it mean?
Breaking it down in simple words, when you work “honestly” i.e. doing something while staying true to yourself, keeping the “hunger” alive for hunger and the “commitment” that appears on days when inspiration is nowhere to be found are some of the ingredients for the desired output.Linking to today’s world, we live in a place where we are somewhat obsessed with shortcuts, life hacks and overnight success. It also reminds us that “Rome was not built in a day”.Explaining his world of music, how algorithms and social media likes can trick managers into focusing entirely on the output: the final product, the accolades, the prize. But Rahman, the man who has won two Oscars, two Grammys and a BAFTA, flips the script. He says it’s not a stroke of luck; it is a reflection of your inner components.So if you’re making a symphony like him, writing a report or cooking a meal, if the ingredients run out, the output itself will take care of it.
