Reading is everything. I learnt everything I could by just reading. I\u2019m a bookworm that most people wouldn\u2019t imagine that, and I think you should read as much as you can and also experiment more.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t just sit down, find out who you are. Sometimes spending time by your self can give you a perspective on who you are and who you are supposed to be. We are all very different. I\u2019m a singer, my oldest daughter is a singer, my second is an accountant, number three is a pilot, number four is a lawyer and the last one I don\u2019t even know what he wants to be but he\u2019ll be something. But we\u2019re all different people so what I want to impact is don\u2019t copy other people, be yourself, do the research yourself, just because someone is doing something doesn\u2019t mean you have to follow suit. You have to be yourself.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cParents can guide you but predominantly, your life is your own. My mother was very encouraging but my father wanted us to pursue his path. He wanted me to be a pharmacist and I think that\u2019s great and all but I just think you have to find who you are and be yourself and that in the long term will give you happiness and that happiness is going to carry you through life. Let\u2019s not restrict ourselves, but reading is everything.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stephanie Benson has released a new single featuring Samini titled \u201cOne More\u201d which is enjoying massive airplay at the moment.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 57 updated by: 24 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entertainment of Wednesday, 13 September 2017 Source: classfmonline.com 2017-09-13 Stephanie Benson &#13; Ghanaian international soul, pop and jazz artiste, Stephanie Benson, has disclosed her father wanted her to become a pharmacist but she instead followed her passion to become a successful musician.
