Bucket List...Must Watch




Watched a movie called "Bucket List"....

The movie stars two terminally ill men who share a hospital room (played by two of the best - Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman), define a list of things to do before they 'kick the bucket'. Together, they stretch the limits of their worldly experiences and rekindle their hearts along the way.

Awesome movie with lots of real life changing quotes....

One famous interlude between Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson goes as follows:-

Morgan Freeman “You know, the ancient Egyptians had a beautiful belief about death. When their souls got to the entrance to heaven, the guards asked two questions. Their answers determined whether they were able to enter or not.
Have you found joy in your life?’

Jack Nicholson "Yes i have"

Morgan Freeman "Has your life brought joy to others?’”

Jack Nicholson goes blank for a few minutes....

So true isn't it....

So easy to answer the 1st question and so difficult to answer the 2nd question....

Worth Pondering.....

You made me......

A poem from the heart......:)

You made me smile
When I need it the most

You made me fight
When I had given it all up

You showed me the way out
When all I saw was a maze

You saw some good in me
When all I could see was flaws

You shared all my sorrow
When I need it the most

You made me see light
When all I saw was dark

You made me believe in love
When I had given up all hope

Never was gonna be easy......so "Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish"

I always knew life never behaves the way you want to....It takes its twists and turns and all your plans go for a toss....

How many times do we feel that we have things under control and wham out of the blue comes something which shakes you completely and everything is chaos then...

One such thing is life at work IE:- your career...no matter how much you plan your career, there will be twists and turns which will take you to places you never thought of...

Was reading a book on Entrepreneurship titled "Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish"....It has stories about IIM pass outs and how they managed to carve a niche out for themselves in their career and dared to be different....

One common thing which ran through the book was the passion or madness which drove them to be different and thereby have a effect on the society...some of them struggled for years altogether to be where they are now....but they kept going believing in the idea they had....

How many of us have the guts to take the least taken path....am sure most of us don't...

Would recommend anyone who wants to start their own business or is crazy enough to make a living about something unique to read this book....

As they say "If you wanna buy a Mercedes, have your own business"

And someday i will.....Amen.......
