I'm currently in San Diego at Brian Buffini's Mastermind 2007 conference. Brian had a number of great speakers including Chris Gardner who's real life story has been portrayed by Will Smith in the movie, "The Pursuit of Happyness" and Allison Levine, team captain of the first American Women's Everest Expedition. It's day ONE and WOW, I'm inspired!
Brian's theme this year was inspiration and being inspired.
Webster Dictionary defines Inspiration as
1. A divine influence on people.
2. To creatively stimulate. and
3. To breathe life into something.
Brian's message was quite inspiring.
At the start of the event, Brian played that an underdog story of a man who's incredible gift is knocked by the judges. The video is from a British TV show called Britain's Got Talent. The contestant is a man named Paul Potts who is a mobile phone salesman. You can see as Paul took the stage that he lacked confidence and the judges smelt it all over him. All that quickly and completely changed after just a few bars of hearing his voice. I have always found that whenever anyone nails a masterful performance, especially in music, that it creates an emotional response in people. Paul Potts not only nails the performance, but represented the underdog. This video is amazing.
