Discouraged? Go for your dreams? Within reason of course.

Susan Boyle showed the world that a person can find and reach that dream.  It might take a while and you may never reach it but I think, trying is where the fun is anyway.

Susan Boyle sings an amazing song.  No one is laughting at Susan Boyle now.
