  She started her career at the age of 18 and is now 38 years old, Taiwanese singer Yi Nengjing, her career and life are equally organized, marriage did not make her lose herself, her face is still beautiful after having children, and she started as an idol singer at that time and has now happily published 21 albums, acting in TV, making movies, hosting, writing books, she has always been seriously digging her potential and has never given up.

  

  She said, "I can't host more than Xiao S. If I were to pose, who can compare to Pace Wu, and I can't compare to the kind of deep emotion like Big S. But each of them will ask me: Sister Annie, how do you work so seriously? That's what makes me different from others, no matter what work I do, I'm always serious and hardworking."

  

  However, she, who now has a beautiful career and family, encountered a lot of criticism when she first started, some said she was not pretty enough, some said she always sang with a child's voice, and others said she started too early and had low education, and would not go very far in this business ......

  

  Once, she and "big sister" Su Rui performed on the same stage. But that day because of illness she sang very poorly, compared with the already superb Su Rui a more dwarfed, so after singing she immediately ran to the backstage changing room, very depressed, but at this time, she heard a staff outside the comment: "really, that I can not sing, just rely on a doll look! How can such a person be a singer? Listen to how good Su Rui's singing voice is!"

  

  Hearing these words, she froze in the changing room, although she had changed her clothes and did not dare to open the door, but just hid inside and kept crying. One is aggrieved, because the audience did not know that she was singing with illness, and the second is that at that moment she lost hope for her future and her already fragile self-confidence instantly collapsed.

  

  The first thing that I did was to ask her why, and she patiently consoled her: "Your song 'The Elf Who Fell to Earth or 'My Cat' is so unsuitable if I sing it with such a powerful voice, can you imagine? Imagine? So you don't need to be sad, because your characteristics are irreplaceable and it's because of your characteristics that your fans like you so much. That's why you need to be the only one, not the first one!"

  

  The only one is irreplaceable and unsurpassed, there may be countless people in this world who are prettier, sing better, and act better than her, but there's only one Inoue in this world!

  

  Think about the hot imitation show a few years ago, many singers because of the perfect imitation of a star and won the competition, a time of attention, major shows often appear on their figures, foxes, really beautiful. But then, who still, remembers their names? As the years pass, the waves wash away the sand, and in people's memories shine only those full of personal charm of the stars, they may not be the best but are the most special.

  

  Each flower has its reason for opening, it will not bloom more beautiful because of the praise of others, nor will it wither and wither because of the disgust of others, it always believes in itself, showing its unique beauty is the reason why the flower insists on opening.

  

  There are no two identical leaves in the world, and you can't find two people who are the same. Maybe you don't have a smart mind, maybe you don't have a sound body, maybe you don't have a pretty face, but you are you, an independent individual. Maybe you can't strive to be first, but you can be your only as long as you bring God's gifts to the forefront.
