TAKE THE LEAD

Years ago at a drama series, principal actors and actresses involved in the drama refused to play a certain role considering how ludicrous the role was. Every other role was suitably accepted and performed accordingly. But whatever and however, the drama would not hold until the rejected, though, important role is performed. The Director of the Drama Series did encourage her relied-upon performers to take up the role, but all effort proved abortive.

For Unyi, though clever, he would however not want to be the fellow on the seat that is overlooked. By him, the role is either not fit or above his standard as the youngest in the series.

What a surprise either as unknown Unyi stood up to the challenge and volunteer to perform the abandoned role even without persuasion. Everyone looked flabbergast with such underlying thought as “hey! can this guy perform the role?” But for Unyi, he did decided to do it, wading out all sort of discouragement and shame; he went onto performing a role that finally threw him to glare of publicity and won him the most respected and unforgotten fame.

Nevertheless, opportunities for greatness usually comes in a manner not generally accepted and would also be very difficult to recognize. Most times, we tend to follow others to act as they do, as in responding to issues. The system of reacting as others do would also keep you behind the scene, just because you do not take your own decision but rely on what others say or do.

You could make a difference by deciding to take a definite step of yours; look around and you will find opportunities abound that lies untouched or disregarded. Its time to take a lead as Unyi did. Who knows? You may be the next star to watch!

Volunteer for a change and take the lead. Just give a try!
