It's been near 2 weeks since I blogged. So here I am. Most of the time I had been at home playing games, watching movies and blah blah blah. So not constructive at all eh?
I've been thinking lately things concerning life. I just watched a couple of movies yesterday and I'm rather inspired now. Well watched cast away and ghost rider which had a few lessons to learn.
Firstly, the lead actor signed this contract from the devil and since then, cursed. He carried this curse from a boy to a man and the devil finally made up his mind to give him a task to assassinate this certain non-human man while putting a curse on him that he will turn into the ghost rider upon the arrival of dusk. The devil made a deal with this man that he would return his soul as long as he accomplish the task.
So on his journey on carrying out the task he met a wise man giving him hope and wise advice. He finally accomplished his mission and the devil finds him wanting to give him back his soul, However he chose not to. He keep the curse, he owned the curse, he continued the curse to protect others from getting cursed. What a hero in burning passion.
That is a lesson to learn, "putting others before self" you might become a hero one day.
So the second movie I watched was "Cast away". I believe most of you have watched the movie or somehow know the plot of the movie. The lead actor, Tom Hanks, is some big shot in the FedEx company and he was traveling in an aeroplane and unfortunately the plane went down into the gigantic ocean. He's the only survivor and was drifted away onto a deserted island.
At first he wanted to stop living and just die by hanging himself but he remained alive and miraculously stayed at the island for four entire years all by himself and of course Wilson, his only friend (a volleyball). He tried escaping the island with a air-filled boat but to avail he can't due to the wave that only pushed him back.
So one day the tide brought him a gift, a huge metal piece, that hit the shores and he picked it up. His ingenious mind told him that he could make it the sail of a raft! So he chopped down trees and tear the barks of certain plants to make lashings. So he finally made his raft and waiting for the right moment for his plan to escape the island. As you all know he made it and in the show towards the end he was speaking to a man. He told him how he felt when he was on the island all alone.
The only thing I remember was this, "I gonna keep breathing, cause the sun will shine tomorrow again. Who knows what the tide might bring?" This was the trigger factor for me to blog all about this. Inspirational quotes. Wonderful.
Cheers.
