The Woman who Could

I was amazed by Susan Boyle the 47-year-old unemployed woman who look senile and lacked potential, but in fact has the most spectacular voice in the world.

Watch the video of her: Susan Boyle on Britain's Got Talent

Please watch this video. It isn't spam or anything it is truly inspirational!

It shows you how you can accomplish anything. She had a learning disability and has struggled throughout her life, but she still has many dreams and hopes. We must learn from her that despite hardship one must still push forward and persevere. Life can be difficult but there are times when we just need to dust ourselves off and search for the energy inside to achieve.
We also must realize not to judge people by their outside appearance or first impressions. Even if someone is "different" or "special" they are just like you or me. All people are the same and we cannot let prejudgements determine our views on the grand array of people that surround us.

Be open-minded and let surprises like Susan Boyle come to you with open arms. I hope I will treat people in the future with an open mind understanding their full potential. I know that one kid I utterly despise because he is annoying and awkward I will now open my mind and accept him for his gifts and abilities.

Live outside yourself and open possibilities.
