[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 520416, member: 3907"] First off, Wow! What a wonderful accomplishment for Duckie. It's true what they say about music performance: It's 10% inspiration, 90% perspiration. And clearly she's put in the 90% and then some. As for the snarky comments, you are perfectly right to be offended by them. I really like JJJ's comment, as it puts the emphasis on Duckie's hard work and dedication to the art rather than on some mysterious hand of fate that just plucked her out of the crowd. As pretty, talented and dedicated as Duckie is, I don't think this is the last time that she'll have to put up with comments such as these. People who aren't willing to put in the work like to dismiss others' achievements as luck. Best to learn to deal with them effectively now, so that they don't tarnish her bright light later. Maybe Duckie can say something with a similar tone to JJJ's suggestion. Something like, "Yup. Luck, plus practicing 2 hours every day." [/QUOTE]
