When you are in depression, almost magically, nothing motivates you.

I might look successful and happy being in front of you today, but I once suffered from severe depression and was in total despair.

Changing your perspectives will not only transform you but also the whole world.

In the midst of hardship, it was the music that restored my soul.

I not only play at the prestigious classical concert halls like Carnegie Hall and Kennedy Center, but also hospitals, churches, prisons, and restricted facilities for leprosy patients, just to mention a few.

There was no more meaningless phrase in all of language than "Cheer up!" The only way to get someone to cheer up was to help them forget, and saying "cheer up" had quite the opposite effect, only reminding the person why he or she was depressed in the first place.
