I was away on holiday when Susan Boyle made her appearance on "Britain's got talent". I have to say, I was really wondering what all the fuss was about. So last night, prompted by a friend, I watched the performance on YouTube.
WOW! What an amazing voice, I was almost crying at the end.
The thing that strikes me about this is that everyone, judges and studio audience included, made the mistake of making assumptions about her based on her appearance and her intial comments on stage.
What is the lesson here? Is it that we should look deeper than the surface? Or is it that, despite all we try, we are unable to look beyond the surface until shown otherwise? First impressions really DO count!
