Someone forwarded the link to me... one of the contestants at britains got talent Susan Boyle sang "i dream a dream" from my favorite musical les miserables...the song is great, I was touched the moment she started singing.
Do you buy into the argument that every person possesses a talent, and is a matter of time and luck to discover your hidden gift? Nowadays parents spend so much money to nurture the talent seeds, believing their kids are special and different from others...enrolling them into music lessons, painting classes, sports team, science camp...and at the end of the day when they grow older all the stuff they learnt in the past can only be the leisure in the future. Increasing their ability to play multiple instruments don't increase their likelihood to becoming a musician but using it as one of the competitive edge for future academic enrollment...You can argue that at least the kids are given the opportunities to develop their interests.. but a true genius find their own calling and that's fate that determines their path. To me is just the parents who are so convinced that their kids are gifted and not accepting the fact that most of us are just ordinary people.
