Bob
Marley’s Formulas
Formula
is a process which is developed and characterized through conventions and
inventions. Conventional formula is standardized formula which has predictable
outcome. On the other hand inventional formula doesn’t have predictable
outcome. Bob Marley’s life was combination of both formulas. Marley was an unbelievable
man who shared his music with the world. Through the music he showed his
emotions, believes and wishes, which were his formulas to reach hearts of the
people. He was able to gain the attention of people from all walks of life by
showing his love. He putted his country and his people on the top with his
inspirational music and his work. His inventional formula and unique restful
melodies made him one of a kind called “The First Third World Superstar”.
Marley’s
formula was hard work, dedication, sincerity, and self-expression through his lyrics.
The message behind his music is very clear because it shows Marley’s heart.
Whatever he wanted to say, he said through his lyrics, which were very powerful.
His life and his work were characterized through inventional and sometimes
conventional formula because it showed his reality. Marley’s life was tough and
inventional because he shaped the route of his life. On the other hand his life
and work was conventional because he had influence on many people in a good
way. All his life he was trying to make the world as better place and even he
knew that it’s hard, he believed he can influence on it. His best quality was
his awareness because he was aware of reality where the world is, therefore he
wanted to do something good in order to unite people in one love, as his lyrics
says, “One love, one heart, let's stay together and feel all right”. People became
his followers by recognizing themselves in his lyrics which were inspiration to
do good and to fight for the rights of justice. Marley was a warrior who was
fighting through unpredictable life in order to achieve greatness. He made an
impact on society by being their example and role model, and because of that he
was recognized for his outstanding contribution to his country's culture.
The
insights that I gain from Bob Marley’s formula are his dedication and
awareness. Even the life is not easy we need to fight and to dedicate ourselves
to achieve our goals. In order to progress in our lives, we need to be positive
and optimistic as Bob Marley.
