Susan Boyle bags triple Platinum record honour

My first comment got reported as spam. I think there's a glitch in this John, even when I'm signed in. Anyway. "Slow" is a completely inappropriate and inaccurate. My knowledge of these mild disabilities have nothing in the world to do with intelligence! She may have dealt with classroom learning issues related more to thought processing than with actual intelligence.

My hubby has the same kind of thing as Susan. sometimes he shows genius, talking like a college professor. At other times he is really lacking in certain insight. But he's wonderful! He is author of a book about it. These wonderful folks may think and experience life differently. We could learn from them. They spend lots of time "out of the box" and I love it!

"Slow" is very inappropriate and inaccurate. She is quite intelligent. I believe that her challenges from her oxygen deprivation may have given her some learning challenges and processing issues, but that's nothing to do with intelligence! My husband's disability is very much that way. He talks like a college professor for goodness sake. He has great wisdom about many things and completely lacks in others. But these guys are very bright indeed. Sad thing is, they may not be able to prove it with an IQ test. The ability to process knowledge the way the world would like to is not always present. But she like my guy, has some genius in her too. They live out of the box quite a bit and the world needs to accept who they are.

Dang. Think of some of the other genius performers out there who don't follow a certain mold. But the world adores them. Some of them go into comedy, like Jim Carey or Robin Williams, all well gifted with the goofball gene. so what? Susan can do comical and breathtaking all at once.

But ya know what? The higher she goes the harder the small minded try to knock her down. Maybe this article wasn't written in a mean spirited way but that term is so belittling. Now she's platinum so she will be a draw for the detractors still. I don't think they will be as tasteless as some of the others who stooped very low. But everyone of great success meets that kind of attitude out there.

I just want her to keep on believing and keep on doing her melodious thing. All of her dreams have been answered very quickly and she needs to keep feeling the motivation to set new goals and dreams and keep having a reason to still get up each day.
