Susan Boyle's phenomenon

Susan Boyle, being a lady in her late 40's, with an ordinary housewife look and body figure, no one actually took her seriously when she stood on the stage of Britain's Got Talent. In fact, when she told the judges that she wished to be like one of the famous musical singers, they showed her a doubtful and some even a disgusted look. Susan, being how courageous she was, began with her singing. Her beautiful voice brightened the entire hall, right after the first line of the song, all the audience stood up with a big applause. At the moment, no one including the judges could recover from the shock of listening to Susan's singing, the sequence of their expression changes from shocked to suprised, stunned to excited, Susan knew it clearly that she has blown them away.

The judges apologised to Susan for being prejudiced against her appearance and they confessed honestly that they never thought she would be such an excellent singer. Perhaps to them, Susan's wish of being like the famous musical singer could only remain as a dream of a dreamer. But, Susan's singing proves them wrong. A book should never be judged by its cover.

Come to think of it, what Susan Boyle has done actually puts many of us to shame. In our lives, we may have laughed at some dreams which we had heard of before and we thought they are rather impossible to happen. But, who are we to laugh at the dreams which are actually belonged to other people? No one has the power to decide whether the others' dreams would ever come through.

One should keep his dreams up as his dreams will keep him going.
