The following was written by Jon Bon Jovi . . .
Jon Bon Jovi was not supposed to succeed.
Ask any critic.
We weren’t from N.Y.
We weren’t from
I didn’t live the cliché rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle
that “legends” were made of.
We tried to keep up with the Joneses
until I realized that even if you win the rat race,
you’re still a rat.
One out of every 1,000 bands
gets a record deal.
One out of a million have any success.
I’ve been to the top and
I’ve been written off more than once . . .
but I’m still here.
Still the underdog?
Maybe.
Passionate?
Definitely.
Nothing is as important as passion.
No matter what you want to do
with your life, be passionate.
The world does not need any more gray.
On the other hand,
we can’t get enough color.
Mediocrity is nobody’s goal
and perfection shouldn’t be either.
We’ll never be perfect.
But remember these three P’s:
Passion + Persistence = Possibility.
