Starting Slow, Finishing Strong

Persistence is a very good thing. When your day starts out slow you have to keep going. Having a work ethic is one thing but also having patience is helpful too. When you have a daily goal to reach it can get frustrating when things are not happening.

Knowing how and when to make adjustments can help you get to where you want to go. Today I was at less than 50% of my daily goal. After lunch I made adjustments, found a new channel and stayed there to my benefit.

In the movie Galaxy Quest the line “Never Give Up, Never Surrender” has a lot of truth to it. It has eternal wisdom. Whether you are trying to reach your goal or you are fighting for a cause you have to be persistent and learning how to finish strong especially when you start slow.

Galaxy Quest – Never Give Up, Never Surrender

Featuring a great cast this movie is satire at its finest. Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, Tony Shalhoub and the late Alan Rickman make this movie awesome. Fandoms and cosplay have a very central role in this movie. It has a great message of life imitating art and courage…and did I mention Enrico Colantoni too?

 

Farewell Alan Rickman

Alan Rickman who was good at playing bad guys has left this world. He is best known for Severus Snape from the Harry Potter movies and the Sheriff of Notingham in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. He was memorable for his roles in movies like Sense and Sensibility and Galaxy Quest. Rickman was also great in Love Actually.

Thank you Alan for sharing your talents with the world. You will be missed by geeks and nerds everywhere.
