The Chinese song “stubborn” by a Taiwan band, which named Mayday that is my favorite band, inspires me a lot. It not only has a beautiful melody but also has a wonderful lyrics that encourages people do not give up any time, no matter who you are.

There are so many lyrics in this song that inspires me when I’m down, such as “if I compromise to myself, if I lie to myself, even if you can forgive me, I can’t forgive myself.” I know I have to be responsible for myself. Even I did something wrong, I can’t regret.

“It’s more suitable for flying when the direction is against the wind” is another sentence inspires me. When I face problems, I can always remind this sentence. I know all of the people in this world face all kinds of problems, not only me, so I don’t complain anymore, and start working again, and that’ll make me grow stronger.

“Is the next station the heaven? Even if I’m disappointed, I can’t desperate.” This sentence tells me I can’t give up anytime, no matter how many times I fail and I will be successful as long as I persistent all the time.

The reason the song touched millions and millions of people’s hearts, is the lyricist of the song, who is the singer in this band, was facing a big problem and challenge at that time. The paparazzi found that his family was underworld and had a strong power in Taiwan. So many people started against him and he decided to write this song to express his thoughts. When I’m down and have difficult problems, I always listen to this song to encourage myself and this helps me a lot.
