“Enjoy life, because life is phenomenal! It's a magnificent trip!”(Bob Proctor)

But his willingness to embrace every opportunity might just become too much of a good thing.

RAMBO IV (2008)

“Maybe you’ve lost your faith in people but you must still be faithful to something, you must still care about something. May be we can’t change what it is but trying to save a life isn’t wasting your life, is it?”

Comment:
This quote is perhaps suitable for those who are broken hearted, betrayed, cheated by the persons that they really once trusted. We feel like there is no tomorrow. And when we go to bed we’d only one wish in our mind, that we never wake up again from our sleep. But, it’s too bad. We will still see tomorrow because God knows deep down everyone heart there is always something we care about. And that will be the reason why we still see the sun shines, the birds sing and people smile at us. There is no point in regret about the past. It will only be wasting your time. There is much you can do to improve your life. Be on your feet and be the best of all.

STEP UP 2-THE STREETS (2008)

“Don’t give up, just be you, ‘cause life is too short to be anyone else.”

Comment:

Nowadays, when competition of life is so tight, self branding or a strong character is necessary to be someone who stands up in the crowds. We need to be ourselves. However, it’s never been that easy to be someone with a strong character.
Well, don’t be discouraged because it happens either to ordinary people or even to extraordinary people. But once you’ve found it, it’ll be incredible.
Five For Fighting in one their songs, Superman, described that even Superman finding it’s hard to be his true identity. How come?
Let’s take a look at the lyric below:

I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
I'm just out to find
The better part of me
I'm more than a bird
I'm more than a plane
More than some pretty face beside a train
And it's not easy to be me
Wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
'Bout a home I'll never see
It might sound absurd
But don't be naive
Even heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed
But won't you concede
Even heroes have the right to dream
It's not easy to be me
Up, up and away, away from me
Well, it's alright
You can all sleep sound tonight
I'm not crazy or anything
I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
Men weren't meant to ride
With clouds between their knees
I'm only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me,
Inside of me, yeah,
Inside of me,
Inside of me,
Inside of me,
I’m only a man in a funny red sheet
I’m only a man looking for a dream
I’m only a man in a funny red sheet
And it’s not easy
It's not easy to be me

Now we know that to be ourselves is hard. Superman found it hard. Yet, he keeps doing good things and keeps saving the world from destruction and that’s what makes him super. Superman and the quotation above indicate us not give up. You need not to be someone else, just be you, be unique and you’ll be super for yourself and anyone else.

Summary of the Movie:

QUANTUM OF SOLACE (2008)

“We never really know anyone, do we?”

Comment:
Did this question ever cross in your mind? We live and interact with the people that we thought we knew really well but in the end they betray us. Somehow I think that communication plays a very important rule here. Wives finaly found out that their husbands had been cheating on them. Business partners got cheated because they thought they knew their partner very well. The way out for spouse is, find a private space and communicate it from heart to heart, face to face, focusing on the problem not the selfishness. And for the business partners? There is a good habit in some successful business men I know. They have custom to invite their business partner and their business partner’s family over dinner. I guess this is the moment to get to know each other better and to communicate their business. If we can’t really know anyone, at least we know someone better right?


Summary of the Movie:
Betrayed by Vesper, the woman he loved, 007 fights the urge to make his latest mission personal. Pursuing his determination to uncover the truth, Bond and M interrogate Mr. White who reveals the organization which blackmailed Vesper is far more complex and dangerous than anyone had imagined.

Forensic intelligence links an Mi6 traitor to a bank account in Haiti where a case of mistaken identity introduces Bond to the beautiful but feisty Camille, a woman who has her own vendetta.

On a mission that leads him to Austria, Italy and South America, Bond discovers that Greene, conspiring to take total control of one of the world's most important natural resources, is forging a deal with the exiled General Medrano. Using his associates in the organization, and manipulating his powerful contacts within the CIA and the British government, Greene promises to overthrow the existing regime in a Latin American country, giving the General control of the country in exchange for a seemingly barren piece of land.

In a minefield of treachery, murder and deceit, Bond allies with old friends in a battle to uncover the truth. As he gets closer to finding the man responsible for the betrayal of Vesper, 007 must keep one step ahead of the CIA, the terrorists and even M, to unravel Greene's sinister plan and stop his organization.

THE LOVE GURU (2008) (c)

“People may say bad things about you, but you must never say bad things about yourself.”

Comment:

What the hell the world is going to be when we all stop believing in ourselves? Then the answer my friend is… the end of the world.
Let’s be honest, do you think Oprah Winfrey is physically beautiful? No, I don’t think she is physically beautiful. However, she believes in her. She believes that she is somehow beautiful in some way. And there she is the richest woman on earth. She donates and supports many foundations. She never says bad thing about herself and other people. She makes the world a better place.
Another example comes from Japan. Not long ago a professor (I don’t remember his name) once made an experiment to two glasses of water. He invited some monks to pray and say good things in front of the first glass. For the second glass of water, he invited some people to curse and condemned the glass of water. What happened to those glasses of water after he examined them under a microscope? The water in the first glass somehow became crystal colored. It’s interesting that the second glass of water turned to black and poison.
Human body is filled most with water.In medicine, body water is all of the water content of the human body. A significant fraction of the human body is water. Lean muscle tissue contains about 75% water. Blood contains 95% water, body fat contains 14% water and bone has 22% water.The human body is about 60% water in adult males and 55% in adult females (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_water).
Now imagine what would happen if we believe and say bad things about ourselves?
Don’t ever hate yourself. We are gorgeous in our own way. When this feeling suddenly appears, just keep in mind that God is always missing you as better person.

THE LOVE GURU (2008) (b)

“Fate is a joke…the joke is in your hands.”

Comment:
In my opinion, this quotation implies that there is no such thing called fate. Fate is just the just the result of the action. We are all have the ability to control our act. I coincidentally found these sentences when I read “Secret” by Rhonda Byrne.

“Your life is in your hands. No matter where you are now, no matter what has happened in your life, you can begin to consciously choose your thoughts, and you can change your life. There is no such thing as a hopeless situation. Every single circumstance of your life can change!”

Well, at least Guru Pitka and I are not alone about what we think about fate :).
