Watched ARGO - Oscar winning movie.
Really awed by Ben affleck....first as an actor and then realising the direction.
Two key learnings:
How do u put your life in the the line of duty .... When u r assured no recognition at all. At times confirmed defamation if things don't go as planned.
I guess ... This is a big learning for corporate life. Day in and day out most professional decision are formed on what's in it for me. Will I be praised, recommended and promoted for this? Will it lead to my career enhancement? While, the biggest joy in life is to make people smile .... This as an end gets quantified mostly in terms of financial gains.
Gita Saar - KARAM kar Fal Ki icchcha mat kar. ( the only Gita Saar I remember and however SOCIALIST it sounds ...has far more and many interpretations).
DREAM BIG and keep dreaming
I still believe the AMERICANS are the best story tellers. Remember a talk titled on TED by Shekar Kapoor - We are the stories we tell ourselves. America is a great nation ...because it can tell great stories and one can do that when we only have a culture of promoting dreams. The only 2 great stories I remember of india are Ramayana and Mahabharata .... Undoubtedly we were great then.
Until - we are so hung up on being in the rat race for schools, education, degrees & jobs....
With a billion+ pop ...we suck at Sports ./ Olympics. Because sports don't make a traditional living. Wish what the parents of Sachin, PT Usha, Anand , kapil .... Had to tell their kids? Cricket , Bhangra , chess is OK..but see that u score well in maths. AR Rahman ....do Well in English. We seriously need to DREAM, celebrate failure , take risks and Failure should not be a taboo.. It should be learning path to success.
Also, why do we have an age for everything. We must have the least divergence in marriage age.... 18-30 period. Every youngster has to start earning his income to support a family and be prepared for marriage. Bollywood is the bet example ....where dreams are not victims of society determined rights for marriage, secure income. Bollywood has given us GE dream of amitabh bachchan ...he was told he was too tall and his voice very coarse. Shahrukh from another actor in TV series FAUJI is the superstar.
DREAM..... DREAM BIG.... World will criticise you and then celebrate with you ( no intermediate points) ..... Celebrate journey ... Not the goal
