The effect Paul Potts
It is not an editor of the fashionable in USA, is a guru or anything. Paul Potts is a standard rate of the street. Or at least it was until recently.
Yesterday morning in an informal breakfast with journalists in the office have been surprised when I mentioned what I call "The Effect Paul Potts." What is the purpose for me? To see it, you should see this video, is less than 3 minutes and you can draw some conclusions (perhaps it is possible that many of you have seen, this video has about 6,000,000 viewed on YouTube).
Possible to think, well, a reality television more ugly and a good singer. Correct, but for me it is not transcendent. For me it is incredible that such an exceptional voice that has educated and born to sing opera, has consumed his life to enter this contest behind a desk, selling mobile phones for South West that is so sad and unbelievable. It is sad that someone who has a gift, which is an illusion and that has some exceptional opportunities to make something beautiful and important has been engulfed by society and can not do that for what it really was born, in this case sing.
Of course Paul is a privilege, a stroke of luck, hard work, perseverance and finally television, a contest, a beautiful story, fame, make a record, concerts by world. So it could be something like a modern Cinderella.
The problem is that with all this economic uncertainty that we live, these stories are pretty scarce even more of what they were doing it, and the inertia of society, we will remove them as individuals and limiting ambition is to be even more cruel you are generalizing and that such people, entrepreneurs with a dream, or even a gift, ending up in a gray, which are limited, can not overcome, and to fulfill dreams that for which they were born. Paul Potts is the effect that brace off, break with preset for you, with the paper that someone has assigned you, fight for what you want and try to highlight not autolimitarte within a company structure or mediocre.
If you think you have opportunities, or delusions that you were born to do something concrete to fight this, that the economic situation and stop you or intimidate you, I think if you feel that you were born for something else you should at least try to fight for it. Although fail.

Undoubtedly an inspiring and beautiful story.
Congratulations for the post.
Greetings!

I've encouraged the morning, I guess we are all a bit Paul Potts, but few reach the "tele".
I stay with the last paragraph.
Even though the economic situation you can stop and how ...
Thanks Alejandro.
Thanks Alejandro
I really think that the shortage crisis?, I think that is backwards. Maybe the vast majority of cases remain anonymous, but I do not think the media is necessary. I think the crisis, the dismissals, the ERES will encourage many to pursue this illusion that they were up trapped by the convenience of a fixed salary that does not go far. And successful conclusion is a "Paulpottazo" in any rule, no crees?
Hello, Alejandro. Another post more (and go ...) very interesting. I used to write to me a rather chaotic, of course, where you mention and I speak out of series, Malcolm Gladwell, a book which goes some similar story. Above all, a man with an IQ high that becomes known to participate in a contest. Un saludo
The video is incredible, I think Paul Potts will be counted on the fingers of one hand (two if you hurry), but there are other talents that certainly can aspire to much more than what society offers them now ...
@ Jon I think the truth is that many "mobile vendors" will not dare in case you need to make the jump like Paul Potts did for fear of not being able, if they fail to return to the starting point.,
@ Leandro Miguel Perez, thank you very much Leandro, I do not know the book by Malcolm Gladwell,, indagaré about it
@ Fernando, if you've managed to encourage a little the day was worth it. Thanks, I encouraged my
Between the cold in both talendo lost and I have hair-raising.
It is a very pretty story, but the hidden problem that often people who have a beautiful voice, not extraordinary, it is left for examples like this lead to find a win or they do not deserve and never get to them will lose a job telephony vendor, it was not too bad at all.
For every talent that is there are 100 die of disgust that believe they have talent and who have no dreams too high can lead them to a resounding failure (and you do not always save your work at the store).
Very good story, Alejandro
But in this there are also differences between first world and "other."
Tell A worker at a factory in Argentina (my beloved and hated Argentina), to leave your job for 3 months to try his luck in a reality.
This did Paul Pott because they live in England.
Sad but true as life itself ...
Sorry for the skepticism.
Un abrazo

When the excesses of the monarchy of the Hapsburgs to the Spanish led to several bankruptcies in succession, having left no room for talent of Velazquez, Quevedo, Góngora, Murillo, El Greco. O well I remember Miguel Hernandez, the poet, who was a lowly goatherd in wartime.
I think the talent is out with his usual, more obstacles to be placed.
Another thing is that this crisis shrink capacity (or number) of the head-hunttings willing to recognize that talent.
The talentazo, the truth is viral and word of mouth will reach where you have to go.
Paul Potts is a crack. I continued the program 'Got Talent' at the time by the Internet and was and am a fan of him. All entrepreneurs are somehow a 'Paul Pott' attempts to change the course of their destiny to go a little against.
So if we sell the TV artists who are wonderful, and they are going to wipe that have come under a birli birloque From where? Asking the creators of Chiquilicuatre have you killed?
Very good video, great story and great words Alejandro. Add a comment as the value of perseverance that was (and still has) Paul to continue fighting for his dream after so much negative that must have passed
Inspired me to post about this so I leave the gigs tomorrow and dedicate myself to exploit responsdabilidades my "gift" ...
That is easy to talk when you have enough food in the fridge ...
@ RevolucionPC, saying that talk is easy when you have enough food in the fridge ... "
Know if you know this as my fridge full of (you will be surprised perhaps at the moment may be too personal appreciation and even unwise yours), so if I tell you is that I started 12 years ago in this business with a laptop and my hands. How much or little I have I earned myself, and not, has not been easy.
I can not tell my dicelo the nearly 4 million unemployed, I personally know people extremely talented and very, but that will not much use.
When more than you realize that in certain societies have talent as opposed to what should be a common denominator far from an advantage becomes almost a crime ...
One thing to be optimistic, positive and seize the opportunity to go a different one is advocating that the crisis (just to give one example) does not exist.
I started getting killed in teams and riding kellers real frankensteins computer. To connect I had to go at night to the train station
by the way my previous comment and the present are not aimed at you ... Do not be so susceptible, that contradicts you

An amazing story and emotional, yes sir. There is a fight for what I want and for which a voucher (two things that often do not go together, despite our inability to embrace) in this life. At least until one has struggled enough to consider other paths. If you're near the end, you sleep around, luck can give you a boost ... Saludos Alberto! That when 'the effect Paul Potts'!
I am glad the night and you've made me think Alejandro, nice it is to pursue our dreams, but in reality it takes! Thanks for sharing.
