Being Judgmental

Being human, it's very easy for us to be judgmental. I admit it, there have been times I judged people by their appearance, how they carried themselves etc.

There is a certain lady from a Scottish village who is creating waves around the world. She joined Britain's Got Talent and gave a big wake up call to everyone NOT to judge a book by its cover.

Susan Boyle's life had been hard being born into this world with complications which later led to her suffering from a learning disability.

Singing, she said, was always "a good way of hiding behind that and boosting my confidence."

Let's be honest again, she's not great when it comes to looks. But she put it all behind her and now, she's in the FINALS of Britain's Got Talent.

Since her first appearance on the show, there has been over 100 million hits on her performance shown on Youtube.

For a time following her mother’s death in 2007, Boyle gave up on singing, but soon decided to make one last grasp for stardom. "Britain's Got Talent was something my mum had wanted me to do," she said. "I wanted to prove to people that I could do it."

Well, she certainly did that. Susan is truly an inspiration. Here's a short clip of her debut into Britain's Got Talent taken from Youtube:
