8. The Life of Gorge Young:


I love to watch movies that are based on true life's stories, because that gives me the opportunity to learn with out the pain of experiencing it my self, it's the ideal learning experience.


The movie based on Gorge Young's life is called Blow and it's played by the excellent performance of Johnny Dep.

The movie shows the life of a Marihuana and then later biggest Cocaine dealer.

What was amazing that he lived his life trying his best to avoid his bed childhood memories of his father being bankrupted and his mother left the house many times and gave him a lot of grief because he didn't bring enough money home.


His father explained him that money is not a real thing it comes and goes in life and even when you experience a financial success it is never enough for you as you thought it would be, and once you fall down you can't see the day you will rise again.


Unfortunately Gorge did not learn the easy way, and so he went threw life bumps (each one bigger then the other) until he lost everything in life including his freedom and his daughter.


The big irony is he end up marrying a woman identical to his mother in her greed for money and in her egocentric character, it seemed that all he tried to avoid came back to him as a boomerang, for his way of life was threw short cuts and not learning from his mistakes.

It's true that it's not easy getting rich but he was smart enough to make with out the short cuts.

In addition the type of work he was in to sounded him with people who are loyal only to them salves busted the illusion that he had friends, business partners and a wife, all of them sold him out just for the chance to make more money.

Sometimes in life our misfortunes are blessings in disguise for they were meant to show you lessons you need to learn or ways you need to change because they are hurting people around you.

It's not easy to do for a person who is used to a cretin way  to change his ways, so even a person that realized his mistakes might repeat them one more time even if for a  good For example, In the end of the movie when Gorge wanted to make just one more deal so he would have money to pay his ex-wife the money she wanted so he could get custody on his daughter, the problem that the easy ways that he dealt  wasn't the right way to do it , there for the result couldn't be good, and so he lost everything.

As the say goes "There isn't a grater hero then the one concerning his own demons"

The faster you learn from your mistakes the better your life is going to be.
