Don’t Be Pushy

Sometimes, one receives a jolt of reality that shatters all illusions. Eager Newbie (EN) has made sure that she would keep abreast with her contemporaries even if observers already know she would never be able to reach them. Nonetheless, EN would not believe that she would remain a poor second and whatever her contemporaries receive, she has to be a recipient as well.

One time, an overseas producer wanted to bring a network show abroad. As this trip was going to be added exposure, the production agreed to the terms. However, the producer had one request, that is, only talents who have a strong following outside the country should be allowed to go. Of course, talent was assumed, as the celebrities would perform in front of thousands of Filipinos living in the area.

When EN learned that the show would be brought abroad, she immediately assumed she would be part of the team. Coincidentally, EN was in the area when the production team was formulating the entourage. EN waited to be informed, but people merely passed in front of her. When EN asked if she were included, someone said that she might have just been skipped.

Finally, the list of talents was released and EN noticed her name was not there. Only Hot Lad (HL) and His Partner (HP) were included among EN’s contemporaries. No list could stop EN, and she asked a Production Head (PH) why she was not in the list. Too bad, PH was not in a good mood that day. EN asked and she did not expect the bluntness in the reply of PH. Without mincing words, PH told EN in her face that only talents who are famous and have a strong overseas following were considered. At this point, EN cannot claim both criteria yet.

The reply of PH was too much for EN, who then walked out even though she still had a meeting scheduled later.

‘Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them - that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.’– Lao Tzu
