Sage advice: Don’t judge a book by its cover

Lin Yu Chun in his bow tie and bowl cut hairstyle isn’t exactly the image that comes to mind of one who can belt out Whitney Houston’s I Will Always Love You. It’s a little freakish to watch this Taiwanese 20-something sing Whitney better than Whitney can today.

I do better listening to him. It’s the watching part that messes with my brain. How does this young man, who can’t even speak English, determine that he had what it takes to sing Whitney?  Who knows, and who cares. He can sing. Period.

So, next time I’m ready to jump to judgment, I’m going to remember those enticing book covers are just that. It’s what’s inside that matters.
