What doesn't kill you...

... Only makes you stronger.

An adage that really takes the centrepoint in the movie Mongol. And what a beautiful depiction of how the human spirit blooms when challenged. The most poignant part of the movie is the part when Temudjin was asked why he did not fear the thunder (all mongols fear the thunder) and answered simply that he had no reason to fear from it because he had nowhere to hide from it.

What an inspirational film.

I want to do and achieve more. I want to have that satisfaction of a job well done, have a solid reputation as as someone who's damned good at whatever it is that I do. I want to be that maverick, that difference that makes all the difference.

I don't know how, or what I'm destined to do as of yet. But somewhere deep inside me, i just know that i'm gonna be allright, i'm gonna do good. I think sometimes it's okay to believe and be sure of the the macro future and yet be unsure about the micro of it. In the meantime, I'm going to learn all I can, grow and develop myself as much as possible. 

And maybe thats enough for now.
