Susan Boyle and Middle Age Myths
Posted by JeannieK on Monday, June 01, 2009 3:24:51 PM
Those half closed lids and the noticeable lack of energy all attested to a woman near breaking on the final night of competition.
A GLOBAL rain of attention on one human being who had never been in the spotlight in her life.
AMAZING that she came back, sang so well and then at the INSTANT she learned the winners her face broke into a smile and her praise was immediate and gracious to the winners.
My gosh that we still have people actually believing that 40s, 50s, 60s or even 70s determine success and potential.
How many 'exceptions' to the rule, people over age of 30 going for it and astounding everyone, does it take for people to get that it's a moment in the heart that determines the course of one's life, not some irrational, collectivist view on what birthday spells the end to someone's dreams and potential?
She's not going anywhere but up and I'm hoping a woman of individual looks who has lived life in near seclusion and now in nearly constant plain sight, will have learned from this brief glimpse how to handle the success that will undoubtedly come her way.
With a lot of Scot in me, I cannot help but be biased in believing she'll tackle it, so that every mean spirited naysayer has to button the lip for good or else look even more petty and ignorant than they have already shown themselves to be.
