Just Bring Yourself

Whenever accomplished celebrities are asked for advice on their secrets for success, they often mention the hardships they had surpassed before reaching their status. Most would cite stories of how they would be alone in lining up for auditions, cry whenever they were not picked, and remain hopeful when their preparation leads to failure.

However, a concrete lesson that they often emphasis is being independent in their dealings. For example, as they still had to keep every expense within a budget, they had to learn to put on makeup, choose the right outfit, and project that their style is the most fashionable. Compared to these celebrities whose experiences have made them humble, Time-Challenged talent (TC) seems to be moving with no care for money and reputation.

Compared to the celebrities cited above, TC is still trying to stabilize her career despite belonging to a big network and having many projects. While she will make heads turn, TC’s fame is elusive, and observers attribute her inability to become popular to her attitude. One time, TC had a guesting with a huge network. Things would have worked out well had TC were more conscious of time.

The production crew of the said show was on pins and needles, as they still could not find TC, whose call slip indicated that TC should have arrived hours ago. Finally, TC arrived, but there was a slight commotion that the production team had to address. TC came with her entourage, and following them were security personnel. The production team had to assure security that all were part of the team of TC, just to save face. Thus, TC was told not to bring so many people with her, as they would only create chaos and run the risk of being doubted by other celebrities because of unfamiliarity. This made TC think because each one in her team had a task. Other than her makeup artist, wardrobe consultant, the rest of her team comprised assistants who would take care of her belongings.

The head of the production was fuming as TC came without being prepped up. Thus, as soon as she got to her space, her team started to fix her, put on makeup, and prepare her for her scene. The head started to call for the cast and TC was still not ready. As the show was about to start, the head started screaming at the backstage to make sure everyone knew the irritation. This scenario sent shivers because the talk hinted on TC not being granted another appearance at the said show.

While her contemporaries abide by the unspoken rules on discipline, TC seems to believe that her stature should be accorded with all the perks of a VIP, which, unfortunately, is all in her head.
