Lawrence of Arabia (1962)

A great movie and many lessons to learn.
It shows the history of a soldier that was educated and very criative and much more curious and passionate for the desert.
He creates a situation that he is sent to Arabia in order to deal with one prince.
In that time Arabia was only a great desert filled with tribes that struggled themselves for survival.
In order to pleasure the prince and to satisfy his own desires he proposes to give a miracle.
The whole movie shows a man seeking for his dreams, getting them and moving forward, forward, forward, unstopable.
And because of that he starts to suffer a great depression and starts feeling all alone because his world was nothing but himself.

Citizen Kane (1941)

Is one of the best movies that were ever written.
The history of a man that was separated from his mother in childhood because of piles of money.
But his mother did it to protect him from his abusive father and for him to have education. She did it for love.
The rest of the history is telling how he got stuck in the gesture of his mother and for his whole life that man tries to give love by giving money, as just expecting others to love him back on his own ways.
He is shown in the movie as a man that destroyed others lifes, but helped many others with a chance of survival.
The end of this man's life is nothing but loneliness and memories of a time that never came back to him, no matter how hard he tried.

How to wake up in the morning

When you are tired, lazy or simple wants to sleep, BUT for some reason you have to wake up in the morning...
1 - Commit to what you gotta do, otherwise it wouldn't be for you to wake up.
2 - Before turning off the alarm, turn on the lights and stand up.
3 - Do some stretching to warm up.
4 - Think on the day before and remember why you gotta wake up, and again, commit to it.
