X-Factor motivated guy (2nd chance after 10 years)

[jeandearme]

Just found x-factor episode where a guy dismissed by Simon Cowell after 10 years make him say 'Yes' on the show. Maybe not example of success, but quite proof that determination can really last for long - even 10 years:

Enjoy!

that guy needs a reality check.

In 10 years, assuming he wanted it badly enough he could have made it happen for himself (also assuming there was talent he didn't display on the clip)
For 10 years he's been waiting for validation from someone who doesn't care about him and really can't change his life for him
For 10 years he's been waiting for permission to pursue his dream. Thus he'll never make it.

This is not an example of motivation but rather an example of cyclical thinking that keeps many people trapped in a mediocre life.

That's not even to mention how these show only produce a star 1% of the time which comes from that persons inner drive and motivation and not the show. It's popular because it's the 'everyman' but in reality the people judging and producing the show will always be more successful than anyone that "wins"
