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.

Nice post Pranav!
ReplyDeleteEven thou i haven't seen either of movie i have got a glimpse of the same. And well said about interconnection of courage + passion + determination. I want to add to it what i personally feel, is that these 3 traits come only if there is 1 basic thing that supports all the 3 as a strong pillar, and that is 'OPTIMISTIC ATTITUDE'. It is a basic thing, that one must possess at any time, whether bad or worst. And worst time only teaches to face problem with courage. Rightly said, "There is no Education like Adversity!'
Keep it up!
