Three Yeses, you’re going to the next round!

In the realm of reality TV shows (like the popular “this country’s” got talent) one great aspect of its success is the discovery of an ordinary person with an extraordinary talent. Not only these reality shows become platforms for people to showcase what they’ve got and to tell the world who they are but also they become an avenue to change the popular culture of gender bias, racial discrimination and the concept and standards of beauty. It proves that there is more to a person than meets the eye.

But talent is just one side of the person. While the contestants are said to have innate or acquired skills honed and developed over the years which gave them a pass to be on the show, can their talent handle the enormous pressure from the magnanimous success that awaits them? Some people are driven to success in the wrong perception, some with the right attitude.

Showing the world and sharing to everyone one’s God-given talent is indeed a beautiful gesture. That single performance can change both the life of the performer and those who were touched by the performer’s story. Success can be a good thing if the person will become a better, caring and loving individual who later on shares to the world not only his talent but his/her whole self. This time, his/her talent does not only make him/her successful but his/her talent becomes a vessel to prove what a great human being he/she has become.
