• “Jermaine, You’re A Killer!” Says Student

    in Self-Improvement

    I got this comment from subscriber, Tina, that I want to share with everyone. She flat out called me a killer!

    (Not that kind of killer). Read what she has to say below:

    ——-

    Jermaine Griggs, do you know what you are???

    You are a killer.

    AN EXCUSE KILLER!!!

    I just purchased the Song Robot with the offer you sent in the mail, and frankly, I’m just undone…I am moved beyond words at your generosity, and even more by your commitment to help others achieve their dreams.

    It’s like I can hear God saying in answer to why I can’t do what is in my heart to do, “Yes you can…My son Jermaine has provided the resources that eliminate excuses.” Even the favorite excuses, “no time and no money,” have been done away with by making the learning so organized and accessible.

    Yes, like so many, I’m a single homeschooling mom with almost no money or time, and ADD to boot. But, so what. It’s all right here laid out for me. I do have a computer (a gift from my dad), a keyboard (a gift to myself 15 years ago), and internet access (a gift from my dad as well).

    If I don’t do this, it will be really sad and I will have difficulty looking into the mirror, because thanks to you, Jermaine Griggs, all my excuses lay bleeding and dying on the ground.

    Wow, such a heart-warming comment.

    Tina, you and the others like you are the reason I wake up everyday to do what I do here. If I didn’t receive thousands of e-mails/comments like yours, who knows where or what I’d be doing now. But because this work gives dedicated folks like you “no excuses” to achieve their musical dreams, it fulfills a special part of me. I’m happy to know I’m reaching a countless number of people I’ve never met face to face.

    To you, personally, I say: Hang in there, your work will not be in vain. As you’ve acknowledged, between our lessons, newsletters, courses, software, and daily insights, you are surrounded by everything you need to excel. You know that already. Now’s the time where you meet it halfway. Keep up what you’re doing. Stay motivated. Be pumped. Have a spirit of expectation. Read the stories of others. Learn songs with our software. Keep your mind on the prize.

    There’s just no way you won’t succeed Tina. The race isn’t given to the strong or to the swift, but to the person that endures until the end.

    I may be a killer — excuse killer, but the “bad” side of our conscience will always come up with new ones. You, Tina, have to be the “burier” — you have to bury these excuses so deep in the ground that they never resurface again. Positive thinking, mental associations, and steadfast determination are key!

    Thanks for your awesome comment and keep up the great work.

    Jermaine

    Hi, I'm Jermaine Griggs, founder of this site. We teach people how to express themselves through the language of music. Just as you talk and listen freely, music can be enjoyed and played in the same way... if you know the rules of the "language!" I started this site at 17 years old in August 2000 and more than a decade later, we've helped literally millions of musicians along the way. Enjoy!
