Never Judge A Book By Its Cover

I was surfing the net recently and came across this amazing clip. It's a clip of the winner Australian Idol, Guy Sebastian. One look, you probably wouldnt look twice at him. But when he opened his mouth and sang, omg, it's damn freaking nice. His 'live' totally swept me off my feet instantaneously. It's that good.

How many times we all judge people based on looks and covers? Whether he or she is handsome, pretty, cute. What brand of clothes he or she wears. How he or she behaves. The list goes on. I'm sure everyone is guilty of that one way or another. But most of the time, our guesses are wrong.

I believe many times we heard someone telling us how bad something or someone is and we just listen and believe. We avoid to confront and seek the truth and we just avoid and shun away, concluding whatever we hear is what it is. Until one day we finally came to know the person and we go "Hey, you are not that bad what. Why so and so say that about you.." and blah.

This is just human nature. Lol.

I've came across this blog of a taxi driver from Singapore. He's a PhD holder from the prestige world renowned Stanford University. Who would have guessed that the driver of the taxi you are sitting in, is a PhD holder from one of the world's best University? Again, we would have passed judgement based on the society stereotyping and made a mistake.

Susan Boyle came on stage, with laughters of mockery before she sang. But left the stage with a huge standing ovation and respect from the world. Soon, her videos was one of the most watched on Youtube and she became famous overnight. Simon said, "I thought this audition would have lasted 5 seconds." Indeed he was wrong.

And speaking of Simon Cowell, who would have thought that he was the man behind our childhood favourite Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Teletubbies, WWF theme songs and even pop irish boyband Westlife?

Someone once told me, people who tries their best to flaunt, are those who probably have nothing much to show while the people who hides are probably those who doesnt want their riches to be seen or known.

And so rightfully true.

I have a friend in the property business and they love to serve clients in singlet and shorts. Because experience tells them they are the real rich people. While those who drives luxury cars and wear branded top to toe are mostly people with alot of debts and installments to carry.

Anyway, the moral of the story is, never judge a book by its cover. People are weird. Those which you thought they might be something might not be what you thought they are and those whom you underestimate might just surprise you in the end.

Ok, that's one long entry. I hope everyone have a good rest! Thanks for the everyday smses and encouragements. Keep them coming alright? (",)
