Thanks for coming out and sharing yo...Hi Emmanuel,<br /><br />Thanks for coming out and sharing your experience with us on Friday.<br /><br />I'd like to say that I like the concept of being so inspired or motivated by something external, that one ends up adopting it as his/her very own, as seen in movies such as The Last Samurai and Dances with Wolves, and more recently Avatar (though I did not enjoy Avatar just as much!). It's about self realization; understanding the shortcomings of one`s life/experiences and finding peace and oneness in something new and letting your ego down to accept this new experience as the most important part of you now.<br /><br />I think it is great inspiration for people who feel lost in the journey of life and need some direction or motivation to bring out the best in them.<br /><br />Best,<br />Vinayak Rao<br />Director of E-Marketing, SMA<br />Schulich School of BusinessUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15410386835738475857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36966960.post-54283447345945809882010-03-21T12:28:51.025-04:002010-03-21T12:28:51.025-04:00Hello Shaikh,

You have really inspired me to look at things from a fresh perspective.<br />An awesome blog post and I agree with the list of movies here. I have watched all three and Matrix is really up there in my all-time favourites list. Also, regarding “School of Rock”, I like the fact that even a goofy personality like Dewey can inspire others because of his passion for rock and roll.<br />Might I also add one of my favourite movie franchises, the “Star Wars” saga to the list here? By trusting in the teachings and wisdom of Obi-Wan and Yoda, Luke was able to transform himself from a simple farm boy to a great Jedi. This trust was strong enough to even stop him from going over to the Dark Side! This is so apt for business today as we need to have “correct” role models whom we can look up to and have trust in their wisdom in order to transform ourselves and emulate such great personalities.<br />Finally, I hope you continue to do what you do and inspire many more. <br />Shaikh Salimuddin,<br />Schulich School of BusinessShaikh Salimuddinnoreply@blogger.com
