Do not let fear take root. The famous quote by Yoda says, fear is the path to the Dark Side. Often, our bitterness, resentments often come from fear of something or someone. We must not allow fear to take root in our hearts. It will affect all spectrums of our life. 2. Do not allow excessive attachment to things or people. When we are excessively attached to something or someone, we become addicted. This addiction will pull us back from our potential to achieve all that we can in our lives. 3. Watch our thought life. The Bible states truly: "As a man thinks, so is he." We must watch our thought life because everything that we do in our daily lives ultimately begin as a seed in our thoughts. Whether we will become a success or failure in life will be determined by the quality of thoughts we allow in our head. Remember the Titans 1. Managing differences. Like how Coach Boone managed the cultural and ethnic discrimination between the two camps, every good leader must recognize and manage the different expectations, beliefs and values of a team. He helps bring peace and resolves the conflicts with wisdom as they come by. 2. Demand excellence. A good leader demands excellence from his team. Besides just bringing the team together, Coach Boone never compromises on the standard he requires from his football team; a team that is strives toward perfection in their game. 3. Hold on to your personal values. Toward the end, there was immense pressure on Coach Yoast to give up his belief of integration and unity of the blacks and the whites and accept the tempting offer by the school board. As a leader, you’ll always face immense pressure from the power players and this is usually the crunch time where you will have to choose between doing what’s right, and what’s popular. Forrest Gump 1. Tell the truth. Due to his mental illness or diminished intelligence, Forrest always spoke the truth just as a little child would. In doing so he positively effected the lives of around him. 2. No matter how much theology a preacher may know, a simple story is often more effective and realistic. Instead of telling people to follow their dreams, Forrest does so by sharing his stories with others. There are many lessons to be found in the movies, but time and space permits only these few ones for right now. Many people are seeking something that they would not appreciate if they had it. For some it may be success, and for others it could be money. Whatever the thing is that you hold near and dear to your heart, would you be satisfied if you had it? The book of Proverbs records that, "The blessing of the Lord, it makes rich, and he adds no sorrow (grief) with it." The book of Hebrews says that, "Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as you have: for he has said, I will never leave you, nor forsake you." So in your quest, do not forget the Creator or His way to avoid unnecessary grief or sorrow. Remember that when you achieving your goal that it will be anti-climatic, it's the hunt that counts the most. </p><strong>About the Author:</strong><br />Movies, Forrest Gump, Star Wars, Wikipedia, Bible<p> Article Source: <a href='http://www.articleseen.com/Article_Lessons-Learned-From-Movies_79805.aspx'> http://www.articleseen.com/Article_Lessons Learned From Movies_79805.aspx</a></p>
