Hi Everyone,
I read this article and thought you'd like reading it too.
The Hindu: Metro Plus Chennai / Gender: It Boils down to image
It's about Susan Boyle - the lady who made the whole world think - Is she ugly, or "We" are ugly with our thoughts.
This made me realize that you need not be someone to show the world that you have a great talent within you! All it takes is the push and determination within you to step out and "do" what you do the best.
It need not be a song! It need not be a dance! It need not be a designer outfit! Or it need not be flashy statements!
All it takes is - just be yourself.
You may be an ordinary person, living a simple life, having a simple job - and you may think what difference you can make - think it over again. Are you Ordinary? Are you doing a simple job? No - You know how to add that spice and magic to your work and your life.
Imagine if you are looking at stars in the night. From one angle - you see that a few stars are shining much brighter than the others. When you move to another angle - you see that a few other stars shine much brighter... life's like that and we are like those stars. Each of us has a unique talent in which we shine much brighter than the others.
Don't cover your spark with "underestimation of self"
You are Good at what you do - and you will prove it each time you do!

Hi Ash,
I have gone through the article, and it authentically moved me from inside. Seriously, we all should evaluate people based on their attributes, skills, and sophistication. Outer appearance can deceive or mislead, but the qualities one possesses should never be overlooked.
If we consider this as one of the major trends in life, leading to people often being deceived, it is immensely relevant to have a proper perspective and always try to understand by putting ourselves in another person's shoes.
Thank you for sharing such a wonderful article that bolsters a woman's position.

Thank you, Rachna and Suchi!!! :-)
Guys, did you go through the YouTube video? That is really wonderful - see the expressions on the faces of the judges - like how they react initially and how they feel at the end when she finishes her song!

It's absolutely true, Rachna. Most of us tend to evaluate based on appearance. Never to deny this - when someone appears in front of us, we already have "an unknown" justification of that person created in our minds, and we tend to see from that angle. But Susan Boyle just made all of us feel that we were wrong at least once in our lives in justifying someone without taking a look at the talent! That video made me also feel that somewhere, even I might have not noticed a great talent... Recruiters, we need to see this video. Thanks, Rach! Check this.

My observation is that all the HR in BPO are mostly girls with only appearance and no brains. In all Sony TV and Indian Television channels, you can see the big singers like Anu Malik and others giving points based on appearance. Actually, one thing I should mention is that if Susan were in India, she would never have had the chance to display her skills. It's a good thing that you all realized this, something I understood a long time ago, maybe 2-3 years back, that beauty is much more than skin deep.
Nice job done by Asha to educate the wandering Citehr members. I will view the video at home.

Asha,
Thank you very much for sharing this. Even though I live in the UK, I had missed the program. It's really an eye-opener. I had seen some news clips but not cared much about them.
Have a nice day.

Brilliant post and an eye-opener for those who are biased towards beautiful and not so beautiful people. There's nothing ugly made by God, but it's us who see things differently and in our perception. Thanks for sharing.

Asha, I must thank you. In my busy schedule at the office, somehow I could take out time in between and have seen your posting. I have read the complete article. Wow, it was so good, Asha. It made me sit back and think about ME and MYSELF. And I could see my inner self connecting to me easily.
Nice article, worth reading. Looking forward to watching the video (can't open at the office).
Keep rocking, Asha!
At the end, I say, we have no option of selecting our life before we are born, but we have options in how to lead our life and do what WE want to do, whether it's India or the UK.
And Ravi, I also agree with you on the Anu Malik and team's decision. But the point doesn't stop at only them; it's about all of us... and at least Susan will be an idol for many in the world.

Thank you, everyone, for taking the time to view the article, and particularly the video. It's an eye-opener. I wish many others here in citehr see this and share it during a training program with your employees. They will love it, and who knows, this may be a turning point for many people.

Hey Asha,
I watched the video with my husband, and to tell you the truth, we were almost in tears. It was really great to see a 47-year-old lady with no beauty, having a passion and putting her energy and efforts into it.
Thanks a lot for inspiring everybody with the video and your gems of wisdom. Too good...
