What worked: Pierre has a dream of joining the Poodle Squad Roller Stars. They have the most amazing hair and Pierre trains hard to also have wonderful hair. It takes Pierre so long to get ready on the big day that his friends leave him behind. In his rush to use a shortcut, his hair becomes full of brambles. When he arrives, his appearance causes quite the stir. He has so much fun with his friends that his hair is no longer a concern. Just like that his confidence creates a new hair sensation.
Final Verdict: This is a bit of a silly story, but in the end, it gets the message across that having fun and being confident in yourself is all you need to succeed. Trying to meet others’ standards of beauty won’t necessarily help you meet your goals.
