Showing Gratitude to Keep the Situation Quiet

Any ordinary place, like a mall, supermarket, campus, or even the escalator, can be the site of a most memorable experience, such as meeting, for the first time, one’s discoverer, manager, or even lover. Many of today’s big stars were discovered in the most ordinary circumstances. When they were approached by the potential discoverer, some were excited, while others hesitated. However, with the opportunity to earn, most of these former unknowns placed their trust in strangers, who must have seen something special in them. As the cliché goes, the rest is history.

Part of the history is the evolving attitude of some of these talents. When they were starting out, they were humble, kind, and grateful to their discoverers. The problem starts when these talents realize that their discoverers are not major players in the industry, which limits their job opportunities. Thus, either a well-connected manager pirates these talents or the talents themselves cut the relationship and seek the management resources of a network.

Many similar stories have emerged in the past years. Some stories are painful because famous talents do not at all want to be associated with their discoverer or former manager. Some believe that being linked to that past will not do good for their image, and thus, they discard people who have helped them like the way they change clothes. Not even a greeting nor a gift could these people expect from some of those stars.

However, not all stories of one’s past are sad. When Cute Talent (CT) started to be noticed in the industry, his career was being handled by His Manager (HM), who made heads turn. HM stuck by CT’s side despite all the misses early in the career of CT. Finally, when CT made it big, people thought he was like other talents, who would have discarded HM immediately. CT did not. Allegedly, HM is still part of the contract of CT, which means that he gets a small share in whatever CT earns. Because HM is low key and CT is a prized asset of a network, not much is heard of the former. To further keep the situation quiet, CT bought a home for HM. For those who know HM and his alleged relationship with CT, they fear that CT is sweeping the dust under the carpet. However, others think it was good gesture on the part of CT to show his gratitude to HM.

While this action might not seem controversial, a story is going around that there was something more to the talent-manager relationship of CT and HM. Allegedly, the two had a relationship and it was bound to be complicated, given the image of CT. HM is a transgender, while CT has a very straight image. Thus, if fans start finding out, the hard work of CT might not bear fruit anymore.

‘By taking the time to stop and appreciate who you are and what you've achieved - and perhaps learned through a few mistakes, stumbles and losses - you actually can enhance everything about you. Self-acknowledgment and appreciation are what give you the insights and awareness to move forward toward higher goals and accomplishments.’ - Jack Canfield
