“I love the movie “Dead Poets Society.” I had to watch it in school, believe it or not, and it was hard for me not to get emotional during this last scene. The students stand up for what they believe in, a teacher who was fired for not doing things the “accepted” way. May we all have this level of courage, to step outside of the lines and go after what we truly believe in.”

Brooke, well said, I will leave it at that.

…In a Certain Way.

This a great interview with Will Smith. Will discusses the potential and the power of mindset, but also pulls in that often missing ingredient called action. He goes on to talk about how someone else might be better than him in every aspect of life but one, work ethic. Will’s mindset and attitude towards work ethic are fantastic examples and examples that many, including myself, can learn from.

Christopher Gardner, played by Will Smith, dispatches some very wise advice to his son. Christopher takes his own advice and completely changes his life, going from one extreme to the another. This short clip, is something that will serve me well for a lifetime. If you have not see the movie, “The Pursuit of Happiness”, it would definitely be worth your time.
