Hey guys
Just want to share with you a video I came across recently and which influenced me a lot.
Check this out (Warning:Not for those allergic to Goosebumps)
How was it?
I did not understand the word he sang.I did not have a clue of the genre of the song.I did not even know whether it was a sad song or a happy one.
And yet it choked me.More so after that old lady wiped her tear.It must have struck them.Gave them the goosebumps.It must have that tremendous force that pierced through the strongest of the hearts and mellowed them.
The roaring applause between and after the song is a testimony to that fact.
But did they expect this beatification when he came to the stage?...I doubt so.
When this goofy looking guy confronted the mic more than half the people including the stone-faced judges(and me) must have thought that he is going to botch up.Especially after his inital introduction,his below ordinary looks and personality.
And how wrong were they.
He just blew them all apart.In first few seconds his song destroyed all their prejudices and first-impression to smithereens.
Really How quick are we in judging others under the yardsticks of one's looks,talks and thousand other discriminators.
I watched this video tons of times after that.Not for the song but to experience the gradual revelation and revelry of the audience and judges.That's really the quintessence of this performance that you dont need all those stereotypical traits to conquer hearts. :)
Really valuable and inspirational lesson to learn.
If I am able to achieve even a quarter of what this guy did in those 4 min,Ill consider myself the luckiest person.
Adios.
PS: This one is even more cogent.Please check it out.
