Paul who? I’m sure many of you know him (after more than 23 million hits on his YouTube video) but that was my first reaction upon reading his name from a mobile phone text message a friend sent me earlier. I’ve never heard of the guy before, and certainly don’t know his story. “He will make you cry” was the next part of the message, followed by “just look for his video on YouTube and you’ll know what I mean.” Apparently, my friend was watching Oprah earlier today (probably a rerun) and Paul Pott’s video was featured there. I immediately searched for it on YouTube and got the most...

"Britain's Got Talent" winner Paul Potts has finally quit his job selling mobile phones. That's nine months after winning the show.Still, it's not the only Carphone Warehouse contract that's tricky to get out of.He was on extended leave as he toured the world performing to thousands, but was too scared to resign in case it had all been a dream.Dude, if it was a dream would it have had Simon Cowell in it? Sounds more like a nightmare where you wake up in a cold sweat.Paul said: "My wife and I still find it pretty hard to take it all in. Less than twelve months ago I was selling phones."And it's good news for Steve Brookstein; it means there's a job going he can apply for.

Hoje vi um vídeo que me deixou comovida. É a história de um inglês, vendedor de celulares que participa de um concurso de talentos. Acontece que ele não tem aquela beleza que atrai as pessoas, e é até julgado pela aparência, mas o que ele canta, é emocionante mesmo e nos fazer refletir se estamos julgando apenas pelo que vemos.
"Britain's Got Talent"Sorprendió a los jueces; y luego de su interpretación el público se puso de pie y no dejó de aplaudir.Paul Potts (1970)La primera experiencia de Paul con la música clásica ocurrió a los 11 años cuando escuchó la banda sonora de la película ET y quedó encantado “Me envolvió. Ahorré mi dinero para comprar el CD y lo dirigía con una de las agujas de coser de mi mamá. A los 14 años, mientras corría a la escuela para la práctica de coro, Paul se estrelló contra un andamio, dañando gravemente un diente y dejándolo con una sonrisa menos-que-perfecta. Cuatro años más tarde, una semana antes de sus exámenes preuniversitarios, un coche lo atropelló, rompiéndole una vértebra y ocasionándole severas contusiones. Como consecuencia, Paul reprobó sus exámenes y tuvo que permanecer un año adicional en la escuela. Paul estudió filosofía, teología, cine y estudios de televisión en la Plymouth University, titulándose en 1993. Después de gradua
Yes, that guy. He makes me happy (the sappy Aerosmith song at the end of that clip, however, DOES NOT make me happy). If you laugh I'll slug you.

The other day, my friend Jen was in a mood. I'm not going to say a bad mood or a sad mood, I'll leave it to her to decide what type of mood it was. But she was in need of reminding that good things still existed in this fecked up world.

Rolf Potts on “the hum of possibility” that long term travel provides:
The “hum of possibility” is the feeling that anything can happen at any moment — a heady openness to the new and unexpected. It’s hard to experience this feeling at home, since home life is made more efficient and manageable by certain self-insulating patterns and routines. That’s why at home we fall into these little rituals of low-stakes possibility, like going to bars to meet people, or dabbling in new fads or hobbies. That’s all great; I’m not knocking the patterns of home-life. But on the road the potential for new experience is so much more powerful and real. You can challenge yourself: reeducate yourself, reconsider yourself, reinvent yourself if you want to. Embracing this sense of challenge and newness — which may be nothing more complicated than wandering off the obvious tourist trail — can send your worldview and even your outlook on life into new dire

En los programas tipo Factor X o Got Talent? además del propio talento siempre se sacan historias sorprendentes como extra para aumentar su popularidad y pasar los castings. ¿Recuerdan la de Paul Potts? ¿Y la de Tony Laff? ¿Hasta que punto supera la historia al talento para que el jurado seleccione o el público vote?. Con Paul Potts no pasó eso ya que su impresionante voz le precede pero ¿y con Ryan?
Ryan es el último fenómeno de YouTube de este tipo de programas (la verdad es que Internet les está sirviendo para llegar a muchísima más gente) y cuya historia es de guión de cine: es un soldado que luchó en Irak, perdió a dos amigos y eso le hizo ir a por sus sueños. La verdad es que no me parece que tenga una gran voz (también el chaval ha cantado un poquito y a cappella) pero la historia es realmente buena (tiene un aire a la de James Blunt) y puede que el jurado se haya visto cegado por ella. Vamos a esperar a que empiece el programa y ver a Ryan en acción. Si realm

Two years ago I was stuck at a desk job with little responsibility and plenty of time to day-dream about the open road.
When my boss wasn’t looking over my shoulder, I searched for travel stories online. I still remember the first time I found travel writer Rolf Pott’s website and weblog.
It felt like the world was suddenly more open and accessible. Here was someone who wrote for me!
Rolfpotts.com is a treasure trove of entertaining and perceptive travel stories. Rolf travels slowly around the world, jotting down notes, shifting context and writing about the exhilarating joy of new experience.
Rolf hit the big-time in 2003 when his book Vagabonding was published by Random House. Vagabonding is a practical and inspirational guide to long-term travel that has spurred thousands of people to broaden their horizons, make room for travel in their lives, and set off to experience the world.

Britain’s Got talent winner Paul Potts has arrived in new York after being informed movie bosses wish to make a movie of his life. Paul, given the nickname Pavapotty by his many fans is also about to begin work on his first album with Sony Bmg.
A source travelling with Paul said: “He is going to meet movie moguls while on this trip. Filmmakers have fallen in love with the ‘ordinary man story’ and believe that Paul’s life and his struggles with a fairytale ending would make an amazing film.”
Despite all this sudden and overwhelming success Paul says, “Nothing is sinking in at the moment. I don’t know quite what the future will hold but I’m just me, Paul Potts, and I’ll stay that way. My struggles with my confidence won’t disappear overnight. All I have only ever wanted to do is sing but I never in a million years expected this dream to come true.”

Esta historia me acaba de llegar por email, quizas ya varios la conozcan pero es digna de ser divulgada y repetida varias veces. La perseverancia en la consecución de los sueños nunca debe decaer, pues uno nunca sabe donde el destino nos esconde la oportunidad de su realización.
"Es la historia de Paul Potts, un galés de muy humilde extracción que con su diente partido y su traje barato, llegó a la audición de Britain's Got Talent ("Gran Bretaña tiene talento") diciendo que iba a cantar nada menos que "Opera". Los rostros de los jurados (entre ellos, el amado y odiado Simon Cowell de American Idol) fueron de burla, sarcasmo y fastidio. Pero apenas entonó los primeros versos de un area de Nessun Dorma, los jurados quedaron boquiabiertos y el público se puso de pie para ovacionar al tímido vendedor de celulares.

Paul Potts, the winner of Britain’s Got Talent who scooped a spot on the Royal Variety Show and £100,000 prise money wants to use some of the cash to get a new smile, much like program judge Simon Cowell.
Paul told the Daily Mail Newspaper: “I’d like to deal with the teeth because I do feel very self-conscious about them. It’d be nice to feel less self-conscious and to be able to smile with confidence. I’m not sure about veneers but I do want to get the crown repaired. It would be nice to be able to smile naturally. I feel very self conscious about it at the moment. But whatever happens, I still remain an ordinary bloke. I am no better than other people - I just happen to have a different talent.”

I found this article by Rolf Potts on how he got started in travel writing really interesting. Rolf talks about when he first began writing. This got me thinking about where my interest began.
Rolf talks about his failures as well as his successes and gives the impression that a good way to start is to just keep trying and learn from your mistakes.
I was interested to read the Rolf took a significant time of work and spent it travelling and teaching English. This seems to be something that a number of successful writers do. Living in another country and learning the culture must be particularly useful for a travel writer and provide a great deal of material.
