With many reality shows on almost every TV channel, the market gets competitive. They say competition is healthy as it not only brings the most polished and finest talent out in front of the world but also keeps its audiences glued till the very end.
We at Boogie Woogie India use to run a segment on gaining knowledge and it is now time to bring it back in action. With the Boogie Woogie break, it is time to polish ourselves with little bit of knowledge at a time.
Reality shows are nothing but a competition, a survival on the small screen only to enter peoples heart to make it big in the industry. Now as we are aware that a competition is a contest; it is an occasion on which a winner is selected as “BEST” from among rest of the participants who enters the show to prove that they have the highest and finest talent 
along with plenty of potential. But TV channels speak a different language these days. They have now become more of a rat race kind of a thing that ends up in being monopolistic. Very few shows are found that awards its contestants based on their merits. As everything is salable and so is ones poverty, love story, handicapped feature along with many more things. Its not the TV channels fault. They are in search of stuff that people buy. So should we end up bad mouthing them if we ourselves buy each and every crap? It is proved that the more the unique stories you present in front of the people, the more the TRP is for the channel. It really doesn’t matter if they have to deal with sob stories, it only has to have region foundation that can gain plenty of votes and hence the candidate that fetches in gaining the most mula out of their region is declared a winner. Does this happen with every show? Well, except for Boogie Woogie, no other show really gives out an honest judgement these days.
Today’s article is not about how the reality shows are run or what extreme steps TV channels take but let’s look at fewer points today to see what participants who want to survive in the same big bad world can do to make sure they last as longest as possible in a running show.
This week we shall speak about the most important characteristics that is needed and as time goes by, we shall cover other topics. Long time ago I had mentioned about the most three important abbreviation that is must in anyone’s career “PPP”. The three ‘P’s’ are the golden edifices to a successful growth in any career. They are being:
P - Positive
P - Persistent
P - Progressive
Positive - Being positive in life not only helps your outlook on life but also keeps your mind and heart healthy and also keeps your surrounding healthy. Positive thinking is a mental attitude that admits into the mind thoughts, words and images that are conductive to growth, expansion 
and success. Have you heard about the saying “Where there is will, there is way!” Well, will power doesn’t come without being positive. If you feel you can make it, you surely will make it. Its all in your thinking, in being positive. Recently I was reading an article from success conciousness and one para caught my eye. “A positive mind anticipates happiness, joy, health and a successful outcome of every situation and action. Whatever the mind expects, it finds.”
A lot of times mostly in our low moods we must have heard two popular words by our well wishers: “think positive”, “be positive”. Not everyone accepts or believes in positive thinking but the fact remains that it helps a lot in personal growth and also in changing the entire perspective. The way we see things being negative can give a new life to the same by just being positive. Its all in our hands. Not quitting and working with a positive mind WILL get positive results. I am going to pen down my favorite lines that acted big inspiration in my life:
“For out in the world
We find
Success begins with,
A fellows will,
Its all in state of mind.
Life’s battles don’t always go,
To the stronger or faster man,
But sooner or later,
The man who wins,
Is the one who thinks he CAN!!”
This brings me to my second point and that is “Persistent”: Persistence plays a very important and vital role in any career. In every competition there is opposition. In every competition one has to 
go through many obstacles to clear the rounds or to jump on to the next level. And when one faces many hurdles, there are bound to feel discouraged. But the one who moves forward is the one who is persistent in spite of all above. Whatever one may face, they shouldn’t let it effect their performance. They have to show an upward graph with every step. For example; we may face lots of opposition to what we performed but we must not let that discourage us and should go with a bang for the next performance. We just have to remember that a lot of times what opposition we face need not necessarily be the truth. So one must face it with dignity and continue to shine with better efforts.
My last point for today’s discussion is “Progressive”: Progressive is nothing but being persistent day after day, week after week in the art or specialty that we belong to showing our improved self. Many times people think presenting the genre they belong 
to flawlessly is being progressive. Progressive in the real world means presenting something new every time we enter to perform and performing it flawlessly. Flawlessly is nothing but impressing people and leaving them all awe in praise. In our tasks, we all set our goals and some of us go week by week and some go day by day. Whatever our goal maybe, we must reach that and should have the capability to surpass the expectation that has been set by people on us. Setting up new goals and new limitations is a fantastic check on oneself to see their progressive chart.
With this I would say, little knowledge a time is good for the human brain and so we shall be back soon to discuss more finer topics in next episode of this segment.
Hope you enjoyed reading the article and if you have any points or corrections to be made, please feel free to do so. Would love to hear your input.
Today we start a new segment called “Song of the weekend” in which we shall bring you a fun or a holiday number as the weekend starts.
