Just because you start somewhere doesn't mean you have to end up there

As Stella English (31) was told “You’re fired” I felt a sense of happiness I had not predicted. To see a woman doing well in business always makes me happy. However, there was more to it than that. She had not had been given this career on a plate. Coming from the largest council estate in Europe (Thamesmead, London) she had left school with few qualifications. Yet, her determination, drive and clear self-belief had resulted in her gaining the prestigious position as Lord Sugar’s apprentice.

With this in my mind I anticipate great things from me. Drive and determination will win in the end. Through The Apprentice I could not believe how full of themselves the contestants where. Everyone thoughts they were the best and had no problems in declaring it to the world. Now not everyone is comfortable boasting and bragging. It is a quality that is not always encouraged. However, it seemed to be working pretty well for the contestants in The Apprentice so maybe I will be inspired and at the next interview will persuade the interviewers that I am asset which will be ‘worth my weight in gold’ and with the rise of gold prices and my weight, I will surely be hired in a second. 

Transformations

Whilst watching Ugly Betty, Betty was focusing on the idea of transformations. As she tries to make it in the cut throat world of fashion she is totally aware that looks are important for success and she doesn't look the part. This does not just apply to the world of fashion though.

On Saturday Rihanna performed on XFactor. Now I have always enjoyed Rihanna's music. I felt very sorry for her when recently becoming aware of how many Number 2's she has had. It seems other than the Summer smash of Umbrella she has managed to be pipped to the post on numerous occasions. However, I have never wanted to follow her in any way shape or form. I have wanted to be Beyonce, Britney, Beyonce, J.Lo, Beyonce, Lady Gage and then Beyonce again, but never Rihanna until now. In around 6 minutes I have totally changed my impressions of her. And a quick look on YouTube would suggests I am not the only one to change my mind with nearly 5 million hits in just 5 days. 

Transformations can happen that quickly. It is like Danny sees Sandy after she decides to change her look. Within seconds she changes from the cute plain school girl to the sexy Sandy. However, not all transformations are quite as drastic as Sandy's though. Especially those that involve a change in person, rather than looks. Changing who you are on the inside is a gradual process, in some cases so gradual that the individual can be unaware they have changed at all until a moment of their past reminds them of what they used to be like. 

Charelle will be back :)

If there was anyone out there following my blog I am sorry for not writing. The last few months have not been particularly great and rather than pouring my out my hatred and heart onto my blog I decided to take myself off it all together until I would right something which reflected the true me again. So a new post will be coming soon :)
