I got a lot of bad review about the new will smith’s movie a heroic figurine called “Hancock”.
But I always want to watch movie with bad review but got big budgeted. so I decided to go watch it tonight.

What’s interesting no one knows why the title is called Hancock but if you quick enough then you must have heard a big insurance company called “John Hancock“. Okay this movie is not about insurance but I think the message about this movie is more important than how you want to see the end. After the Iron Man and Incredible Hulk, Hancock can be a let down if you wished your superhero to play another sequel or trilogy.

Do check out the trailer here from the movie itself:

I do think that will smith is the right person to play this character other guy could be nicholas cage or edward norton. But will has proved himself that he is identical to heroine character. Interesting to see that
he did not show as a stable person emotionally and always try to get away with booze or pet (if you still remember the move ” I am Legend”).

The morale of the story is simple “Anyone can make a change from a bad start”. From a drunken, irresponsible, careless, and selfish personality. Hancock has made himself a bad reputation from time to time. He forgot his true purpose as a Hero he needs to maintain stability and also not bring another problem
to the town which is Los Angeles.

I could say more that Hancock is a person who realize his potential but got attitude problem or he is running away from being responsible for his own life and just care on how things are done on him. Until he met a PR for himself who believed in him and taught him to be a better person. He still deals with insecurities in himself not knowing what his true purpose, where he got his power and what is his past has made him a confusing personality.

Interesting enough Hancock reflects our inner potential. We may not have superhero power but we are all here with a purpose, and responsibility to take charge of our destiny. Your destiny can bring positive or negative impact to people surround you. Hancock did realize that he need help, that’s where the new outlook and new vision of him started to take place.

I do want to say that our life journey if seems meaningless, we need to find the real goals and purpose in our life. Hancock found out the truth on who is and his bigger purpose after a few struggle. Is not even easy for him after all the bad things but he can end it nicely to write a new history and live a life full of purpose.

The other thing is that at the end he is being unselfish and aim for bigger purpose and sacrifice the one that he truly care. Can you guess what it is ? I do hate to spoil the rest of the movies but I do suggest if you don’t catch it at your nearest cinema. Hire or Buy the DVD, I am sure you will be entertained much.

If you happen to browse the J. Hancock site then you will find this interesting mission statement here

“At John Hancock, we are here to help you plan for your future so you can realize your promises. Created as a life insurance company, John Hancock has since broadened its products and services to become a leading provider of financial services, delivering the products you need to create the future you desire.”

Hancock the movie show that one person can create the future his desire by making massive and extreme change in his life. And even he can do it alone… you need people to help you reach that. I hope people in John hancock realize this I am bringing some traffic to them :P ( my main purpose is to share you the moral of the movie)

I feel very obliged to share a lot of insight about making the right decisions in life.
Is never easy. Your right decision can make you in bigger problem than what you already have.
Your right decision can lead you to loss a lot of friends.
Your right decision can be the determining factor that a lot of people can be against you.
Your right decision can be the one single element that makes difference between failure and success.

Let’s assume you have made the right decision than the result was not like you expected. It was a total
failure. What can you do? I’d suggest change your strategy. A lot of people making a decision based
on current situation. Have you ever turned the table around? What do I mean?

Have you ever made decision based on result ? Whatever result you want to get you made your decision that can achive the result that you have set. A lot of us walking in the journey of life flow, whatever will be then will it be. It creates our life as a creature of circumstances, we do not take control of the process and event in our life but rather we are becoming victims.

We blamed our current situation as we become a victims of our own decisions. We tend to blame others for our failures. It’s funny when everything goes wrong we tend to blame but when everything goes right or smooth we forget the people that has helped us getting there.

How about if you were born in challenging situation ? Challenging financial situation, disability, racial discrimination, unwanted born by your natural parents. Can you still change your future ? Yes, there is no doubt to it. But is not easy, also nothing is impossible.

Norman Vincent Peale shared something so powerful, he has a very profound quote:

“People become really quite remarkable when they start thinking that they can do things. When they believe in themselves they have the first secret of success.”

First secret of sucess. Is to change your thinking then believe in the new changed thinking. And make decision and taking action based on the new thinking.

Have you ever felt that you started with a lot of challenges? I have had that experience when I started my entrepreneurial journey it was one of the lowest time in my life emotionally. But I kept on targeting on what I wanted in life. I do see a dot of hope that I can actually approach further and see that I am getting closer to my target of what I wanted in life.

Carl Bard is pretty unknown for his inspirational quote but read here:

“Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.”

The famous philanthropist, TV talk show host “Oprah Winfrey” did not start his life smoothly based on abused and all that she should have ended up become a wreck. But she did something in her past that has made her a very fortunate person that can help and inspire others for better life. Her interesting quote:

“Every day brings a chance for you to draw in breath, kick off your shoes and dance.”

Most of us stay where we are in comfort zone, if something not happening that means we fail to realize and take action. Bryon Pulsifer says this:

“You will never reach your goal until you start to take action, any action.”

I do like what I have seen in the life of people who were not starting right but ending as champion.
Olga Korbut has one of interesting quote about life where I categorized this as “Pushing to the limit / persistence”

“Don’t be afraid if things seem difficult in the beginning. That’s only the initial impression. The important thing is not to retreat; you have to master yourself.”

Therefore my friend, do think about how you want it to be in your life, make the right decisions to reach that goal in life that you always want it.

If you want to become a millonaire start learning about what does it take to be a millionaire, if you want to be a tycoon’s wife. Learn how to act, speak and think big as any tycoon wife has always behind the succesful tyconn. If you plan to change the world, start change your surrounding. Or if you want to invent something, start experiment today. If you happen to want people to appreciate you as who you are. Appreciate them today before you ask them to do it.

Life is an exciting journey. Let’s push through to the end as a champ!
