Rome wasn't built in a day.
That's the suitable idiom to describe Agnes Monica's career.
She entered Indonesian Music Industry since she was very young.
For 18 years she's been known as a perfectionist
who works carefully and as detailed as possible in every single job.
To go international has been her dream for so long.
Each year, when she's asked about her hope,
her response is the same "world's music industry".
But, to accomplish her dream and hope isn't an easy task
Sometimes she has to be strong considering many people doubt her expectation.
They find it a way-too-big dream.
What's wrong with dreaming big?
What's wrong with having such big ambition?
There's nothing wrong with it.
In fact, there's an old idiom of which we are familiar since we were a kid: "Dream as high as you can".
"If you ask kids what they want to be when they grow up,
they'll answer that they want to be a President.
of them will answer that they don't want to be anything and do nothing.
I don't want to lose my early childhood optimism.
But of course that optimism has to be equipped with adult's logic and responsibility.
It's a good thing to dream big.
That kind of optimism dares her to step up and to challenge herself on new thing: Fashion.
This three-time winner on Anugerah Musik Indonesia 2010 (AMI is equal to Grammy Awards in US)
is dreaming to be a fashion designer as well.
Last Friday we were able to see her photo session with her own products.
And, you'll be able to see that she always does things perfectly.
She even spends more money to rent a classic car for the photo session.
I believe that everyone has sense of fashion.
It means, although people call it a trend but if you aren't comfortable in it,
you don't wear it for the sake of following the trend.
And the other way around, although it's not a trend but you're comfortable in wearing it, wear it!
Isn't this new clothing line thing going to 'take over' his effort to go international?
Could she possibly be satisfied enough to go international by being the top trending topic in virtual world?
You have to practice if you want to improve your ability. In my case since I'm a singer, I will practice my singing skill, listen to many music references.
Never stop learning and improving my own ability. So, when the time is coming I'm ready.
Vidi Aldiano : For Agnes, keep moving forward.
Glen Alinskie : Go for it (refer to: go international) , we will continue supporting her.
