And I wanted to stay positive, but I was just thrown off balance again with my Globe connection. As quite some things on the internet don’t work through the Globe connection I have, like the sending of the daily quote. Somehow connections are being cut or Globe is messing with stuff they shouldn’t be messing with as I wrote about in my post about Globe inserting malware/spyware in websites. Like right now I didn’t get the result about if the quote was sent or not, often meaning that the system I am using somehow tries again, meaning sending quotes in duplicate to some people. And yes, I have an alternative, but I did not realize right now I was using Globe, meaning also the Globe malware script is inserted again in the page I am using right now. And the system doing that must be interfering quite heavily with the TCP/IP packets that are being sent and received, as it’s not that easy to insert a script like Globe manages to do. As you somehow need to buffer the webpage and find a way to interfere with TCP/IP stuff and somehow pass things on, both ways. And as that’s quite complicated it’s probably that our quote sending system does not work as it should.
But enough about that now, as it has cost me already too much time. But yes, I want to do something about it, and most Filipino’s won’t even support me with something like this. And I still don’t fully get why, because to me these kind of things are just unacceptable and companies should be held accountable for doing things they’re not supposed to do. But yes, maybe this is about leadership again, going on trying to do something about these things without people supporting me. And indeed, most people just oppose me writing letters to the management of Smart and Globe. But again, if I don’t do it, who will? But again, enough; it seems I’m violating one of the Principles of Success, like controlling my emotions, which I’m not doing properly right now. As I have planned my next step about this tomorrow or the day after, so I shouldn’t write about it right now. So while writing I’m even considering deleting it, but that would be also wrong or unfair, as I promised to achieve my success, my road to success, in the open. So the above is something that is not helping me to achieve success, as it’s just emotional talk and no real action, although I mostly put some links related to the issue that may help find supporters to stop the malpractice of Globe.
So after the intermezzo above I actually wanted to write that it seems that indeed the movie industry appears to mostly produce perfect movies. And that most movies have some kind of inspirational story, some kind of message. And I often oppose things like ‘industry’, but somehow the movie industry in Hollywood indeed has the function to only allow ‘good’ movies to be produced and be successful.
And yes, the movie Flight is another sample of a very good movie with indeed also a message. And indeed showing things from various angles, as I found out that there is no black and white in life. Many things are mostly grey, like there is no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’. And so is the story, the message in the movie. As what the flight captain does is extraordinary, at least related to flying the plane, saving most of the people on board. And yes, I guess it’s true that if you are an alcoholic you can indeed have a very successful career as the flight captain in the movie shows. But at the same time he has a drinking problem, and I recognized part of it, even though I never really lived with an alcoholic. But I had a friend who was an alcoholic, so I came quite close to it and I recognize part of the denial. And no, I don’t really know what addiction is, like an addiction to smoking or alcohol, although I have kind of an eating addiction. But I guess that’s still a bit different and it doesn’t affect my life so much. Or does it?
But yes, I liked the story, the plot in the movie very much. And the end is very inspiring, as it gives some kind of hope to alcoholics. As I guess the scenes at the end of the movie may be a little step towards acceptance, acceptance that they have a real problem.
And yes, it also makes me think, like if my eating problem or my debt problem isn’t also kind of a similar denial thing. Or my career problems or business problems.
So what about you?
And yes, I can certainly recommend watching the movie as it’s just a good movie and it even has a message.
