We all do ‘do, re, mi,’ but you have got to find the other notes yourself.
Meaning of the quote
The quote means that even though we all start with the basic musical notes like "do, re, mi", it's up to us to discover and learn the rest of the notes on our own. Just like in life, we all begin with some basic knowledge, but it's our responsibility to keep exploring and finding new things for ourselves.
