Who is Joe Arroyo to me? |
For me Alvaro José Arroyo is one of the best Colombian
musicians ever, he had his goals defined from the beginning, he did his work on
time and didnīt hesitate at the moment of taking decisions. Thatīs why I think
that to be successful people mustn’t take too long thinking about
something because the opportunity might pass very fast. Since he was a child, Joe sang in different parts. He
knew he had the talent to sing and didn’t waste the time; instead, he took
advantage of it and began singing in his neighborhood, where people recognized
his talent. When people heard his songs they could feel his talent going out of
the song, as if the song itself shouted out “Hey, this guy has a really
great talent”. Through his entire life, he was recognized as a great
singer, and this would never had happened if he had ever been a shy person or
afraid to show his talent because of an insecurity. Later on, he met the bass player from the popular band
“Fruko y sus Tesos”, who made a proposal to him about having a contract with
the band, which Joe accepted without hesitating, he said yes as fast as a
lightning, something that I consider on target, because it is
excellent if you want to succeed at something. If you take too long thinking
about something, the opportunity might pass and wonīt come again. Joe was a
wise person and knew that if he made the contract he would succeed. Although Joe used to life a really bad life style, he
used to accomplish his aims on time; he was always prepared for a concert and
for writing a son. Actually we can say that he always kept his head above
the water. Every successful person shall be prepared to do his or her work at
any time, being always prepared for an “emergency”. To conclude, I have learned some things about being successful from this person, especially the one about not to hesitate in the moment of important decisions, but not only that, I also admire the way he was always prepared to work, doesnīt matter if he was sick, he would ever fulfill his tasks and obligations as a singer. Also I admire the confidence he had about his talent not only as a singer but as a musician.
