Mickels Rea, Star Acedemy
I was just watching the finals of Star Academy (France), the winner is Mickels Rea. And the runner-up is the glamorous Alice (Alice au pays des merveilles - as she has often been attributed to).

It has been a great event, I have been watching them since the very first weeks of the “Star Ac“, as the french calls it. This 8th edition had some wonderful contestants, it was just “sublime”. The event featured many famous star artists for each rounds, namely Céline Dion, Madonna, Ricky Martin, 50cents, Avril Lavigne, Anastacia, Beyonce, Lorie, Jonas Brothers, Craig David, Sheryfa luna, Robyn Rihanna Fenty, Christophe Mae, amongst others.

What Is Star Academy?

Quoted from Wiki:

Star Academy is a French reality tv show produced by the Dutch company Endemol, based on the Spanish format called Operación Triunfo. It consists of a contest of young singers. It spawned an equally successful show in Quebec called Star Académie. It is broadcast on TF1. At the end of each season, selected contestants go on tour around France, Morocco, Switzerland, Belgium, Tunisia, and other French-speaking countries. The contestants stay in the Dammarie-lès-Lys castle : The Vives-Eaux castle. The reality show is hosted by Nikos Aliagas.

The 2 Finalists Mickels And Alice Work Hard

- Both Mickels and Alice were not expected to be finalists based on their starting performances. I remember that Alice was saved by public voting 5 times! But since then she has been working seriously and she just kept getting better and better, just as Mickels. been watching their daily work on “Canale Evenement” - which gives you live videos of almost ALL the ‘doings’ of contestants, even when they are sleeping.

Anyway, it was a great moment watching Star Academy 2008 for all these weeks (16 weeks?). Seeing their progress and daily nitty-gritty, coupled with the advice of so many experienced artists, it’s just inspiring and motivating - if you can dream it and put in the required effort, you can surely be a winner!

My favorite was infact Anissa, she has a wonderful voice and she’s just gorgeous; ‘tres belle francaise’. :D How about you, have you been watching them, who was your favorite?

Scintillate Your Inspiration And Goals - Make An Analogy From The Attitude Of Michael Phelps

Posted on: Sunday, August 24th, 2008 | Written by Wakish

Michael Phelps inspiration, aim and goals

Last time , in Phenomenal World Record Winnings Of Michael Phelps At Beijing 2008 Olympic, we also mentioned Michael Phelps’ Iron-Will Power To Perform Beyond The Accomplished. Today, I want to show that Michael Phelps is really an inspiration and had the right attitude. Having the right attitude is necessary, or even crucial in any field, including blogging, in determining your success.

Michael Said: “Nothing is impossible. With so many people saying it couldn’t be done, all it takes is an imagination, and that’s something I learned and something that helped me [..]”

Besides, having an iron-will power to achieve, Michael Phelps is a brilliant mastermind; the ability to have an imagination to go beyond our own limits or the thought of others, is just exceptionally wonderful! He sets his aim and keep focusing on it. He adds his imagination, concentration, courage and deal with every step like a piece of puzzle and in the end assembling each pieces to mould and concretize his aim into history.

I have gathered 3 small-length videos on Michael Phelps just to show you the attitude and trust (in himself) of Michael Phelps.

starAn Iron-Will Power To Perform Beyond The AccomplishedI’m taken in deep-thoughts by the following words of Michael Phelps:

“Everything was accomplished,..What else could I do?” Michael Phelps said.

There’s so much profound meaning in this sentence. It shows us that this outstanding swimmer had above all an outstanding vision of what he should achieve. The rest was all a matter of perseverance!
