Exactly..hundreds of people show up with just a slim chance of getting in the academy...there are only FIFTY openings...
I must admit that there's nothing wrong to be a star dreamer but the problem is that the chance is very slim. Even when you are selected into the academy, it doesn't mean that you can become a star. I happened to see a TV program in which a singer said that there are 300,000 "contest singers" every year (in China). I think that all these contest singers are qualified to be singers but only the best among the best are selected. The chance is just too slim.

But if you don't participate, you get absolutely zero chance.

I'm the "throwing it to the wall and see if it sticks" kind of a guy. Chase your dreams, no matter how crazy they are. Even if it is one out of a million chances, at least you get a chance. And who says you won't be the one?! You get NO chance if you don't try.

Saying good bye is heart breaking and i feel for this middle age couple because I used to be away from my wife not as long as this couple but still three to six months at a time depending on the job contracted by my company. The good byes and initial couple of weeks is difficult and this picture brings back some difficult memmories.

HONG KONG — A rush-hour commute in Hong Kong turned to panic Friday evening when a man ignited an incendiary device in a crowded subway train, filling the car with flames and smoke and injuring at least 17 people.

Photographs taken soon after passengers fled the burning subway car show a man, believed to have started the fire, standing on a platform as flames jumped from the tatters of his burning clothes. Other images show injured commuters, their faces wrapped in gauze, being treated by emergency workers.

The police said the man, whom they identified only as a 60-year-old with the surname Cheung, admitted starting the blaze and was charged with suspicion of arson.
