i believe film making is one of the toughest jobs in the world because you work so hard on a project, bring myriad of things together (actors, writers, directors, producers, music, camera, story & it goes on & on) and the movie has a single outcome; & on top of that if you are dealing with low budget and no brand name situation, it makes it really tough .. anyway, what i find interesting in this talk is some of his experiences of life are parallel to mine, but interesting to hear so many good things in a single talk.
1. life gives you choices, its up to you what you make of them
2. your choices have consequences; you & only you are responsible for the consequences
3. you may have great intentions, but the world has its own perspective of looking at them; so there are consequences of your actions, which you may not understand (all the above from Geeta)
4. your dreams are yours only, you owe to yourself [for those dreams]; the world doesn't owe you anything.
5. opportunities are out there, you just need to find them.
6. limited resources bring creativity in you, ample resources bring ambition in you.
7. technologies is available so cheaply now-a-days that there are no constraints, you can make a 4K movie using iPhone
8. devise a process of shooting a film w/o disturbing the object (Heisenberg's principle)
9. when things go wrong, its easy to blame others; some people only complain in life
10. leadership starts with you (the leader)
11. every problem has a solution, just need to re-look & understand the problem
12. life is a cycle, when you are at the top of the cycle, you make mistakes which bring you down
13. the cycle goes: face problems -> find solutions -> with persistence you become effective solving problems -> you find more resources, become ambitious -> make mistakes -> fall
but your strength lies in starting all over again ..!
