Humble, Talented, Remarkable...

Last night i posted about fear and adversity in reference to Seth Godin's thoughts on what it takes to be remarkable.

This morning while reading Marketing Hipster, Cord offered up this video for our enrichment:

There are so many stories and lessons to be learned buried in this one video. Themes of underdog success, quiet humble perfection, even over-judgmental critics. I have to agree with Seth's comments in The Dip in that the judges, though acting pleasantly surprised, still laughed it off at times like it was a joke. Its a sad day in reality TV when the perfect performance warrants a snicker due to the fact they were expecting HOPING for the ridiculous!
