This is a terrific story from the show Britain’s Got Talent. The audience has little expectation for this cell phone salesman, Paul Potts, until he brings them to their feet with an amazing performance of an extremely difficult opera song - Puccini’s “Nessun Dorma”. Within two minutes he shows more emotion than all the contestants combined. I’m not into opera but even I had to watch this video a number of times.

This is a story about a guy, a guy like most of us, common,
questioning his existence, measuring himself to others, never
believing in his abilities or his worth. Then one day, his passion outgrew his fears as he stepped onto a stage, a stage that took him to a place beyond his self imposed prison.

Watch the faces of the judges as this guy walks out on the stage. You can almost see what they’re thinking as they pre-judge this guy based on his looks and the fact that he’s a cell phone salesman. Maybe this guy stopped believing in what people told him for so many years and ultimately started listening to his passion.
Thanks Dave for this one !!
