Journeys in the form of words
"You had the courage to dream. In spite of your obvious and astonishing limitations, you never gave up on that dream."- Mr. Chetty (The Internship) I know that this movie was not considered a success, but that rarely seems to matter. I find that I often enjoy movies that are considered unsuccessful or critical failures. …
"This grumpy old race car I know once told me something. It's just an empty cup."- Lightening McQueen (Cars) There is a lot to be gained from watching the movie Cars with an open mind and heart. Yes, it is one of the better and more entertaining PIXAR movies in existence, but I also consider …
"We always have only one life man. That's all we get. That's how it works. The question is how are you going to live it. Which guy are you going to decide to be?"- Fridge (Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle) I enjoyed this movie for so many reasons. I love a good adventure movie and …
"Hey. Look Rick, you have a choice here. You can get up and finish this game, or you stay down, and you end up like me."- Coach Richard Penning (Forever Strong) I feel like this might be one of the most underrated movies made in the 21st century. There are so many valuable lessons to …
"Sometimes the correct path is the tortured one."- Ali (Draft Day) I don't know what it is about sports, but they happen to be one of the better examples of following your dreams and never giving up. Draft Day, while not really spending a lot of time on the actual playing of football, is no …
"If you focus on what you left behind, you will never be able to see what lies ahead."- Gusteau (Ratatouille) It is a great time for a motivational curveball. I have to admit, Ratatouille is not my favorite Disney PIXAR film. That being said, it is still a great movie. It is an entertaining and …
"I know what I have to do now. Gotta keep breathing. Because tomorrow the sun will rise. Who knows what the tide could bring."- Chuck Noland (Cast Away) What happens when you take a work-a-holic control freak obsessed with timekeeping and punctuality and strand him on an island with nowhere to go, nowhere to be, …
"Manners are a way of showing other people we care about them."- Adam (Blast from the Past) I remember when this movie came out. I also remember not having much interest in seeing it. That was a big mistake. I recently saw Blast from the Past for the first time and I was actually surprised …
"What we do in life echoes in eternity."- Maximus (Gladiator) I love this movie for so many reasons. Beyond being action-packed, suspenseful, and entertaining from beginning to end, Gladiator was also a very powerful message about government, politics, and society in general. Current events are not without the obvious technological or evolutionary differences from the …
"Don't ever let somebody tell you you can't do something. Not even me. Alright? You got a dream, you gotta protect it. People can't do something themselves, they wanna tell you you can't do it. You want something, go get it. Period."- Chris Gardner (The Pursuit of Happyness) Regardless of your personal feelings towards Will …
