Welcome all of you!

Britain’s Definitely Got Talent – Think you have it too? Why not? Maybe we can have our very own Malaysia Boleh reality show too featuring amateur performers.

Anyway, with regard to the post title, I wish to encourage everyone to be confident with your own ability and do not doubt yourself even when others are laughing at you. Also, do not judge a book by its cover and give everyone an equal chance to compete. If you have not attained success yet, keep on working hard and getting your attitudes right, your big break may just be around the corner, surprising you (and others). I know I seriously sound like paraphrasing some wisdom pieces like the poem ‘If‘ but trust me, I am not.

Here is the story of one Susan Boyle, a Scottish spinster aged 47. She is now the favorite to be winner of this year’s Britain’s Got Talent and is in the running for a prize money of £100,000 and also a chance to perform in front of the Royal Family at the Royal Variety Performance. Hers is a beautiful story of self-believe and perseverance. Considering her choice of song to perform, I think she was sad and dissatisfied with her achievements in life. Life takes an unexpected turn for the better though for her, in stark contrast to the theme in her ‘Cry Me A River‘ song, she had received overwhelming accolades and approval from people around the world. She gave a such a stunning and polished performance that the people who had doubted her in the beginning were wowed within the first 5 seconds of her song!

Unfortunately I could not share the video from YouTube here. It has been viewed for over 26 million times! To get a full footage of her debut song on Britain’s Got Talent, do check out the video below:

Susan Boyle’s Debut on Britain’s Got Talent (link to YouTube)

Here are the lyrics of the song, for you to ponder and sing along if you fancy.

I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high,
And life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving.

Then I was young and unafraid
When dreams were made and used,
And wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung,
No wine untasted.

But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hopes apart
As they turn your dreams to shame.

And still I dream he’ll come to me
And we will live our lives together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms
We cannot weather…

I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I’m living
So different now from what it seems
Now life has killed
The dream I dreamed.

I wish her luck and all the best, may her age not be a hindrance for her to achieve whatever she wants with her life now. In the distressing reality life and gloomy economy outlook now, it is great to be able to dream and sometimes the impossible reward just falls to the right persons, I believe success hardly deserts those who work hard and dare to dream (OK, this small part is from ‘If’). There was then a William Hung and now a Susan Boyle. Isn’t life just wonderful and unique?

OK time for a little community message from The Volgograd Times (TVT) – appreciate life and avoid excessive intake of alcohol and avoid smoking at all times. Let good health be one of the priority of life and also think of the health of your family and friends.

Thank you and farewell, until next time…
