“Well, amazing things can be done from the inside, right?”

Comment:
There is a great power and potential inside of everyone. If only we all realize and know how to show it, we could do amazing things. The question is, how do we create the amazing things from the inside? One of my friends tells me to listen to the voice of our heart. Well… for me, listen to the hearts is just one of the aspects. Beside that we have to listen to our brain. Dreams come from heart. Yes sure, to grow the giant within us we need to dream. In addition to that, we need plans to make our dreams come true. Plans are produced in the brain.
Dreams and plans will not be sufficient. We need more than that. We need action. In order for the action to work properly, we need to keep the spirit alive. Spirit is like eating. We’ll get exhausted every time we get hungry or bored. Therefore, we have to renew and refresh our spirit all the time. Refresh our spirit and encouragement like eating or taking a bath. We need them every day.
Finally, never stop dreaming. Dare to dream big. Make plans and take actions to achieve them. And you’ll realize that amazing things are actually come from inside.



Summary of the Movie:
Ben Campbell is a young, highly intelligent, student at M.I.T. in Boston who strives to succeed. Wanting a scholarship to transfer to Harvard School of Medicine with the desire to become a doctor, Ben learns that he cannot afford the $300,000 for the four to five years of school since he comes from a poor, working-class background. But one evening, Ben is introduced by his unorthodox math professor Micky Rosa into a small but secretive club of five. Students Jill, Choi, Kianna, and Fisher, who are being trained by Professor Rosa of the skill of card counting at blackjack. Intriged by the desire to make money, Ben joins his new friends on secret weekend trips to Las Vegas where, using their skills of code talk and hand signals, they have Ben make hundreds of thousands of dollars in winning blackjack at casino after casino. Ben only wants to make enough money for the tuition to Harvard and then back out. But as fellow card counter, Jill Taylor, predicts, Ben becomes corrupted by greed and his arrogance at winning which lets his feelings get in the way, and it also puts Professor Rosa, as well as the group, on the radar of a brutal casino security enforcer, named Cole Williams, who holds a personal grudge of some kind against Rosa which threatens to undo everything the students have learned and earned.
