Here’s a remix that I really like.

I’m surprised at how long it took me to finally get the chance to watch this masterpiece. I was thoroughly impressed by it as a film in general. The action sequences were spectacular, but the true essence of the movie lied in it’s storyline. It’s one of the movies that you watch that make you want to do something. It teaches you a lesson, one that rings true in life and gives you that “Ah hah! I understand” feeling.

One of the things that this movie alone teaches is selflessness, which today is both overrated, and underrated at the same time. It is impossible to be truly selfless, because human beings instinctively want and need to look after themselves. Society on the other hand, believes that you should live to serve others — that’s the most “enlightened” way. The answer is balance.

All in all, this film taught me a lot, as well as gave me an incredible message as to how a film should be. I’m beginning to see a pattern to Jet Li movies — they are freaking awesome.

The need for automation is quite evident in today’s world. We can’t all expect to do this manually, otherwise it’ll be way too tedious. Most PHP programmers will tell you that if you find yourself doing something menial and trivial over and over, you should create a script to automate it. That way, it’ll save you time which you can use to do other productive things, or have fun.

You could also apply this in real life. Say you’re being paid $10 to mow the lawn once every week. You could delegate that job to someone like your little brother or a neighbor for $5, for a free $5 a week. You pay your little brother $5, and then you pocket the $5 that your parents would give you for mowing your lawn for no work.

Say everybody on the block decides to have you mow the lawn. We’ll say that you have a total of 10 neighbors who want you to mow their lawn. Delegate all of those to a different person for $5 a week and you’ll find yourself pocketing an extra $50 a week for no work, just collecting.

There are actually a lot of contractors who use that same concept. They find the customer, and then they find another contractor to do the “dirty work”, while they collect and make sure the customer is happy.
