73. Reviewing Boston Legal : Supreme court Speech by Alan Shore ( For Aspiring Actors)

March 05, 2017

I am sharing this video with you so that you can rehearse the lines if you want to be an actor. I love this whole scene when i first watched it ages back and it still haunts me. The way James Spader has performed this whole scene astounds me still. The perfect intonation, gaps, punctuation, speeds, pauses and whole performance is just scintillating. the big revelation came to me when i started auditioning for acting and I decided to create my showreel. So I downloaded this episode and wrote down the entire speech. It is way too long firstly, and secondly English is not my first language so there was difficulty in speaking this language. But destiny had some better plans for me and taught me something which I could not have learned otherwise.

75. A lesson from an IPS officer on success that you must not ignore. At least I didn’t.

You don’t get monthly cheques and there is no certainty from where your next cheque is coming from.

110. There is no time for thinking

June 20, 2020

Well, books say that you should think and grow rich but in my opinion, thinking is the biggest detriment to success. The more you think, the more it paralyzes you and the more you are unable to take any action. I think I should be, and anyone should be, more action-oriented after all it is the actions that bring in more results. Right now at this age where I have spent so much time of my life to groom myself for the success I think the time has come for me to take action rather than brood about consequences. Hmmm... More action from now on.
