Q1 Do you think it's more interesting to watch famous people's or ordinary people's shows?
Ans- Well, I'd say it's more interesting to watch famous people's shows because celebrities are usually well-trained and perform at a high level. Their experience in front of the camera makes the show look smooth and professional. Another reason is that famous people often have bigger budgets, so the stage, lighting, and special effects make the show more exciting. Many people enjoy seeing celebrities they admire and learning more about their personalities. Also, sometimes these shows give behind-the-scenes content that ordinary people's shows rarely offer. Famous performers can invite other popular guests, which makes the show even more entertaining. Personally, I find that watching celebrities inspires me to try new things or follow my own goals. That's why I think famous people's shows are more appealing to a lot of viewers.
Q2 Is it possible for us to know that children who are 3 or 4 years old will become musicians and painters when they grow up?
Ans- I guess, it is possible for us to assume it as adults might notice children's natural abilities in the way they are playing music or making art. If kids engage in musical or art activities most of their time and parents see that these activities excite them like no other, it might let parents assume that there is a strong possibility that their kids will become musicians and painters when they grow up. Though, it might happen only if adults help kids hone and strengthen their talents through practice and perseverance as just a desire is not enough. It is practice that makes perfect... not passion or talent.
Q3 Do you think artists with talents should focus on their talents?
Ans- Of course, they should as, first of all, people who develop and use their strengths and talents are much more likely to have a satisfying life as self-realization will determine their life purpose and create a sense of meaning in their life, which is important for feeling happy. And secondly, it's important for artists with talents to remember that they were given their talents for a reason - to use them for the betterment of the world and those who inhabit it. Their talents can leave a lasting impression on many people and even change other people's lives. So, it's their duty to focus on what they are talented at and let people around benefit from it. So yeah, focusing on talents is essential for talented artists, to my mind, as it will allow them to receive both material and non-material wealth they truly deserve.
Q4 Why do people like to watch talent shows?
Ans- Well, I think, first of all, because they like to see how ordinary people like me and you achieve success and become famous. When people see how other people start taking steps to make their dream come true, they begin to reflect on their own life and what they've done, or rather, haven't done with it, and focus on what dreams they have and what they can do in order to fulfil them. So, it means that talent shows are a kind of inspiration for many people, something that motivates them to stand up and move towards their goals as such shows prove that hard work and persistence can help people achieve anything they want in life. Well, and secondly, just because people really want to see the hidden side of show business - all those challenges contestants face while preparing for the auditions and interacting with each other. Nothing more, I guess.
Q5 Is it easy to identify children's talents?
Ans- You know, sometimes, it's apparent, like when a child shows a natural inclination towards something or when a child excels in certain activities without much effort or formal training. For example, if you see that a child effortlessly starts playing a musical instrument and quickly learns to play tunes without much practice, you can suggest a child has a natural aptitude or talent for playing instruments. Similarly, if a child shows a keen interest in solving puzzles from a young age and demonstrates an ability to solve complex puzzles with ease, it suggests that they have a natural knack for problem-solving. Or if a child can create detailed and visually appealing artworks without much guidance, it indicates a natural aptitude for artistic expression. But if children aren't exposed to different activities like music, sports, arts, or other hobbies, it becomes difficult for them to explore and discover where their interests and talents lie.
