The interview below is a hypothetical interview between competent interviewer Nader Al Ramahi and main vocalist of the acclaimed American rock band One Republic.
Announcer: Hello ladies and gentlemen and welcome to tonight's show starring Nader Al Ramahi!! Tonight we are joined by vocalist Ryan Tedder of the leading American rock band One Republic for a 5 minute interview about how Ryan became the man he is today.
Nader: Welcome to the show Ryan, it's a great pleasure to host such an imperative, honorable, and revolutionary man such as yourself.
Ryan: Haha, Thank you so much for having me here!
Nader: So, Ryan you've been the lead vocalist of One Republic since 2002, and you've acquired great success in these past years, and not only that you've managed to become one of the most, if not the most influential singer of our generation. What's your secret?? and what message would you send out to all those people wanting to pursue singing as a life-long career.
Ryan: Well, let me begin by saying this, when someone mentions the word "hard work" most people give it a little consideration and then forget about it the next day and just carry on with their ordinary lives, however whats the fun in that?! Being able to wake up everyday and practice the thing i love the most in life actually makes living on this abhorrent planet worth living. The only possible way that someone can achieve their dream is by HARD WORK! and hard work doesn't only mean to keep practicing what you do to become exceptional at something, hard work also includes the courage to get back up and to keep pursuing your dreams after life knocks you over and when an ignorant person who has nothing better to do hates on you or says something disturbing just take their statement as advice (and not as a discouragement). The will to keep moving forward no matter what stands against you, the desire to succeed, the extensive sacrifices you have to make, and hard work are the crucial keys a person needs to open the door to personal prosperity which lies at the end of a jagged road in which every person willing to go after their dream has to cross.
Nader: That was a very inspiring speech Ryan! and i hope these young aspired singers will grasp whatever advice they found useful in your deep and meaningful speech that you took the time and emotion in conveying it to people from all over the world.
Ryan: It was nothing really, i just don't want to see people face the same problems as me when i was growing up as a kid, it was really hurtful being discouraged, disheartened, and dismayed even by my own family members. I remember once as a teenager my exams were coming up in about 2 weeks time but i was too busy practicing my singing lessons for tryouts hosted by Sony Entertainment Records and the winner gets a full 5 year contract with the record company, but my parents did not approve in what i was doing and did not believe in me. In the end i could not attend the tryouts because my mom sent the record company an email stating that i could not attend due to health-related issues.
Nader: I'm so sorry that you had to face such adversities at such a young age, and i can only imagine how you must have felt like when you saw your life-long dream just slip away from your finger tips knowing that you could have came in first at the tryouts; however i think that this helped shape you as a person and assisted in making you the man you are today. Thank you so much for being here Ryan! I really enjoyed your influential speech and i'm pretty sure everyone listening to this would find this inspiring as well. I wish you the best of luck in your upcoming tour which will take place in South America.
