Here are some quotes from George Michael that inspire me for my career.

RIP George Michael.

You left us on Christmas Day in this year.

Here are some quotes from George Michael that inspire me for my career.

“I think the media is a real demon.”

It is true. The media can be a real demon. The media, including social media, can have lots of biases. Many trolls and people are trying to damage other’s values online. The media can be an evil. Doing online marketing need to be aware these trolls. Otherwise, I will lose reputation or money.

“The media has affected everybody’s consciousness much more than most people will admit.”

Related to the quote above, the media, including social media, can affect everyone. People can learn things from the media or online easily. They can be brain-washed by the media with wrong biases and stereotypes. Similarly. doing social media marketing should have certain ethical standards. By standards, I mean we should not have biases and stereotypes to “brainwash” my audience.

“I have the audience I deserve. Or at least I have the audience that represents the kind of people that I like.”

I agree. When you are one of the influencer on social media, a group of audience follow you because they like what you do. You have to keep working hard and impress them. Otherwise, they will be disappointed and leave.

“The whole business is built on ego, vanity, self-satisfaction, and it’s total crap to pretend it’s not.”

You need to have some confidence to build up your business. It is the same as building fame and followers online. Ego comes from there.

RIP George Michael, your Last Christmas will be different from now on.
