Stimulating Sunday

In the recent past, I gazed at 2 movies back to back. School of Rock and Men of Honor. Breathtaking, awe inspiring movies. It was without a doubt a “Stimulating Sunday”. At closing stages of the calendar day, I thought to myself, what do these Characters have in common? What do they have in them that make them place themselves standoffish from the horde? And then, I re-visited the movies again. I observed that:

“The problem is not when you don’t have worries or hurdles; the problem is when you are happy and contented”.

The front man, the lead character of, Men of Honor, Cuba Gooding Jr., Chief Carl Brashear played a child of an unfortunate and deprived Negro cultivator. Carl did not have the constitutional rights enjoyed by other kids of his age. He exhausted his childhood helping his father in the ranch. A well directed struggle is portrayed in this movie. End of it, Carl Brashear becomes one of the premier ranked navy recruits. It needs to be noticed that the triumph brings a lot of confrontation and struggle. On no account in my existence, have I come across a success entity that does not have a struggle in the same container.

School of Rock’s Lead Singer, Jack Black playing the role of Dewey Finn in the flick, is all about a endowed guitar revolutionary who was threw out of his Rock Band. Taking this as a challenge, this bizarre guitar freak formed is own band- School of Rock comprising of School kids. These school kids had something in common, their unfathomable talent. Eventually, they turn out to be the winners of a competition comprising of well known rock bands.

I concluded the crux of these movies in the following three pointers;

Passion: None of the individuals gave up on their dreams. Difficulties just made their determination even stronger. Imperative is to discover your passion, the passion which would outdo all the devilish challenges which are bound to strike on the boulevard of glory. The glory, the glory of victory, the glory of self-satisfaction.

Determination: Whenever we are caught in a fix, whenever we find ourselves in a deadlock situation, we can be rest assured that this could be a challenge for us, a situation which is just there to keep a check on our determination to reach our goal. This difficulty should give us that approval that we are on the precise trail. For that reason, difficulties pave a path for a beautiful tomorrow, where a person can materialize as someone tough and spirited. Determination is what we need to make the passion possible.

Courage: Courage, correspondingly, is the most fundamental constituent for glory. A person possessing unconquerable courage can do wonders anywhere. Courage is the wellspring that inspires us to take compassionate actions, Demonstrating justice and to achieve happiness and victory. We should always persevere courageously and joyfully in all our challenges with the sun of hope shining brightly in our heart. Thinking about what you can do to contribute to people’s happiness and make society a better place and then working constructively towards that goal. That is the courage of love for humanity. Or as a mother or a school teacher, for example, thinking about what you can do for the children in your care or thinking about how you can help and support your friends- that is the unpretentious courage of daily life.

Passion, Courage and determination are so beautifully inter-connected that they seem to be synonyms. If we can absorb these three ingredients in our every day lives, the day is not far when we will stand just like a mighty lion, the King of Kings, as General among Generals.

Recession Survival Kit

If you want to recession-proof your career, the key is to focus on work that continues even when most people don’t have disposable income to spend. So while consumers may not hit the mall as often, you can guarantee that people will continue to get sick, pay taxes and use energy. These are just a few of the careers and industries that can be expected to thrive in a down economy.
1. Health Care: People will always get sick — sometimes even more so when they don’t have the insurance or money to take preventative measures or eat healthy food.
2. Energy: Although consumers are likely to cut back, they’re not going to stop using energy. In fact, this industry may grow, as companies look for more efficient ways to deliver using less energy.
3. Education: No matter how dire the economy is, there are always jobs for teachers. Kids will still go to school, and many out-of-work adults may decide to continue their education.
4. Utilities: Just like the energy sector, it’s safe to assume that people are not going to stop lighting their homes. So utility administration, maintenance and other related jobs should remain intact.
5. Accounting: Death and taxes are a sure thing. In a recession, people and companies are likely to get desperate for more deductions and a hard look at their books.
6. Pharmaceuticals: As long as doctors prescribe them, people are still going to take drugs. So whether you’re behind the pharmacy counter or in the lab, you can rest easy.
7. Sales: As a general rule, anyone who is a source of income for a company will be safe, so salespeople — especially in recession-proof industries — have little to worry about.
8. Liquor Industry: Alcohol is another outlet for troubled times, so distributors and manufacturers in this industry will continue to thrive.
9. Government Contracting: Despite money troubles, roads must be maintained and schools must be built. Contract your work out for government functions for job security.
10. Food: People need food to survive, and it’s not likely that anyone is going to just stop eating — no matter how bad the economy gets.
Although today’s job market may be bleak, there are some bright spots if you know where to look. While recessions hit some sectors hard, others go on like clockwork — or even experience growth. So whether you’re hunting for a job or still feeling ostensibly secure, now is a good time to evaluate your options and consider one of the aforementioned recession-proof careers.
