Last weekend, watching the beauty contest reminds us about the importance of getting foreign talent. Importing overseas resources improves the local pool. It increases the sophistication by having more worldly assets. But often the reaction is not good because the local team may feel threatened. So the normal reaction maybe to look for better opportunities overseas.

Perhaps one way to keep the resident talent is to increase their pay. But not really a good way as life is not all about money. Or is it? What about the foreign talents that come on board? Are they adequately paid? At a deeper level, what is the relation between a beauty contest and higher pay? I don’t know. I wonder where this is leading to.

Let’s see. The winner of a beauty contest is normally the prettiest. So the beauty contest winner will get the prize which is usually a lot of money. Hence, the most beautiful talent may also be the one with the most money. A logical conclusion? Perhaps. So can we say that foreign talents should be paid more? Wait a minute. Is there a link between foreign talent, beauty contest and higher pay?

But maybe we are getting somewhere. We all know that movie stars get a lot of money. In fact, some movie stars are former beauty contest winners and most often are wealthy and famous. So what is the final conclusion? To get more money, join a beauty contest or be a movie star. Being a foreign talent may also be an added advantage. Make sense?
