No wonder everybody might have seen this youtube video by now on Susan Boyle.
The first time I saw this video, I got goose bumps. Ofcourse many a times after that too. Now it is not strange, people dedicated portals/wikipedia page on her name to cash in on her popularity.
But more than enjoying her performance.. there are things that needs to be learned from this experience.
There is this famous saying.. "Appearances can be deceptive". This exactly suits this person who is in the video. I believe it is a eye opener for most of us as we need to make a conscious effort to remind ourselves time and again..."Never ever judge a person by his/her looks".
Ofcourse the judge of the show had rightly put "I am so thrilled because I know that everybody was against you. I honestly think that we were all being very cynical, and I think that's the biggest wake-up call ever. And I just want to say that it was a complete privilege listening to that."
Being 'humble, simple & innocent' can get you to places. This is precisely what Susan Boyle personified all about. Be humble and a good human being, this will take you to places.
Last but not least, natural talent/abilities always take you to places. The only thing we need to do is to push it in the right direction. If that is done, the rest is history!
