Susan Boyle’s Got Talent and Us Eating Out of Her Hands
Here’s my two cents as an emotional intelligence and communication specialist on how and why Susan Boyle emotionally got to so many of us. She is an antidote to the conundrum of our times:
A skeptic is someone who is reluctant to believe; A cynic is someone who refuses to believe.
A skeptic is someone who once believed and was hurt and/or disappointed; A cynic is someone who once believed and was humiliated and/or betrayed.
However deep inside all skeptics and even most cynics is a deep abiding ache to believe again (because not believing leaves us safe but bitter or at least British), but do so without the fear of being hurt, disappointed, humiliated or betrayed.
And Susan Boyle is someone we can believe without any of the worries.
