A Book: Much More Than The Cover

I recently watched a video over HERE and it nearly brought me to tears.

Allow me to introduce you to Susan Boyle.  She’s 47 years old and recently tried out for the show Britains Got Talent.  Click Here or her pic to the left and go watch her video….Then come back and read the rest.  Go ahead, I’ll wait

How many of you expected that? The female judge said it all, didn’t she? They were all a bit cynical and were preparing themselves for another William Hung moment. Fully prepared to laugh at her after she sang her heart out. What if she was horrible? What if she stood there in tears as you laughed?

How many people do you come in contact with that you write-off before they speak the first word to you? I bet it’s many! Is it the way they look; the mole on their face; are their scars; are they fat, skinny, too this, too that?
Wow, that irritates me to no end. Partly because for so, so long, I was that guy. Especially to women….if you didn’t look good, you might as well move along. I hated myself, but had everyone believing I was the most confident person alive.

I could go on and on, but grasp this: The ugliness you see in other people is simply a reflection of yourself in them. Don’t judge!

Get to know and love them all….You will die trying!

    T: I watched this video just yesterday. I was stunned! I loved seeing the faces of the judges, especially Simon's. What an awesome voice! You are right. You can't judge a book by its cover.

      They did the same thing on that show with Paul Potts a few years back. If you've not heard of him, look him up. The face does not match the voice.

    Man, I've watched this three times. It's just crazy. Her voice is amazing. The faces on the judges are awesome. They look like they're about to cry. It's…. Wow.

    Now I wanna see Les Mis.

      That was actually my first thought and I went to Netflix and put it on the list.

      And yes, seeing Simon with a speechless look is priceless!

    Someone on Twitter just shared this video and I was in awe listening to her. It really reinforced how guilty we can be of judging people, it made me more aware of how even our facial expressions can show judgement. Well Susan really showed us all and came out the winner. !!!!!!!! Good for her!!!
