My inner being automatically longs for this ‘privilege’ to be invited for the preview for the WOWET show. Everything about it is so distinct. Right from the exhilaration of those children with challenges to the show itself evokes stirs up an different pattern of emotions.
To me its just not just circus neatly packaged for a 90 mt bundle in a air-conditioned comfortable place. Circus has a different flavour this is watching stunning acts from close range. There were 9 acts. Very tough to pick the favorite. But it was stunning stuff. Words cannot explain so its best to watch it. So go do it. Here is the link
What can this show do to you?
If man can apply his mind on something he can do it. That will be the thought you will be left with. Avoid watching it dispassionately try getting lost during those 90 minutes. Just don’t watch the show broadly – watch every little muscle twinge, watch those eyes of uncertainty, the look of determination the sense of achievement. There are many distractors that you must avoid processing. The music and the event itself can distract you. Don’t just marvel at the performers. Remember excellence embraces those who commit oneself to a task and pursue it doggedly.
Why embrace excellence?
Soon after the the show I had to meet a group of people in an investment company to train them on Attitude & behaviour. I found myself telling them to understand the power of weakness and not to lose sleep over it. We give a lot of emphasis on strength, dont we? and we push our weaknesses under the carpet and feel embarrassed about it.
To drive home the point I gave them the – Mango Story of Vinayaga and Muruga. The story talks about a ‘unfit’ contender winning the race.
After the thrills dished out in the WOWET show and with a talk about the ‘power of weakness’. I got back home thoroughly mixed up yet not confused.
