Summary

This quote highlights the notion that children are often led to believe that they can achieve substantial wealth and success through talent competition shows like 'The X Factor.' This suggests that society sometimes places undue emphasis on the allure of instant fame and riches rather than encouraging young individuals to pursue more meaningful and sustainable paths towards success, such as education, hard work, and personal growth. The quote likely criticizes the unrealistic expectations that are instilled in children, implying that there are greater and more fulfilling avenues for success than simply relying on a talent show.

Singing when no one else is around is always good. I especially like belters. Good, loud singing is probably better medicine than half the stuff they sell in pill bottles, and it's cheaper, too. I also think people should never turn down an opportunity to hold a baby. There's something about the feel of a new baby in your arms that just fixes you.
