There was a girl who was a great nuisance. When she was eight years old, she was already a great trouble maker in her school. She hadn’t done any homework all the time, and she failed in the exam. She twisted her body in the middle of the class and sometimes she stood up and went around the class. Finally, even though the semester didn’t finish yet, the teacher in charge sent the letter to her parents.
“I recommend her sent to special school or receive psychotherapy because she looks scatterbrained.”
Her parents were really disappointed because they somewhat knew she couldn’t pay enough attention, but they didn’t know her teacher would give her up. Next day, her mother took her over to psychological clinic.
“Just sit still!”
Her mother pushed her awfully and talked with the counselor. Then the counselor talked to the girl, “Too boring, isn’t it? But I should more talk with your mother beside the room. Please, wait one more second.”
The counselor spoke while he took the girl’s mother.
“Let’s watch how she behave alone.”
After a while, they were surprised. The girl couldn’t keep still for a while, but then danced beautifully with the music from the psychological clinic. Mesmerized, they just stared at her for a long time. And the counselor spoke to the girl’s mother.
“Your daughter isn’t a trouble maker. She is a born dancer. You should take her to dance academy rather than the special school.”
Her mother felt sorry that she considered her daughter as a great nuisance. And she decided to send her to the dance academy. The girl became happy with a mood different from the school. She practiced dancing from dawn to all day long. Finally, she passed Royal College of Dance, London and then she entered the British Royal Ballet. She became a great ballerina and she succeeded in musical theater troupe after retirement.
This story was about the best ballerina in 20th century and the famous choreographer of “Cats”, and “The Phantom of the Opera”. She is “Gillian Lynne“. Maybe you frustrated because you are just different from others. We may not be able to find our “hidden talent” like “Gillian Lynne”. So, how about making some times and do whatever we really want to do? Don’t even hesitate to discover your talent. Because “your talent” may not be able to meet the ideal setting yet.
