I just got done watching a beautiful inspiring movie last night that one of my mentors had told me to read the book a LONG time ago. I was strolling through blockbuster last night trying to rent Dan in Real Life but unfortunately there were no copies to rent, I was completely bummed about this and started browsing other titles. Then I noticed this lonesome movie on the shelf and something triggered my memory about this recommendation on the book, so I thought to myself wow, I will just rent the movie first to see how it goes. Boy was I happy that I rented this movie last night!!!
What this movie is all about
When his wealthy grandfather dies, trust fund baby Jason Stevens anticipates a big inheritance. Instead, his grandfather has devised a crash course on life with twelve tasks – or “gifts” – designed to challenge Jason in improbable ways, sending him on a journey of self-discovery and forcing him to determine what is most important in life: money or happiness.
- The Gift of Work
- The Gift of Problems
- The Gift of Friends
- The Gift of Giving
- The Gift of Gratitude
- The Gift of Family
- The Gift of Learning
- The Gift of Money
- The Gift of Laughter
- The Gift of a Day
- The Gift of Dreams
- The Gift of Love (which leads to the Ultimate Gift)
My 2 Cents
Ok So we all done it, we have been so focused on Money, Looking for short cuts to success, moving so fast not taking time to stop and smell the roses..... We as professional real estate business people is somehow always on a time constraint and of course focusing on money. This movie has showed me a beautiful insight on how wealth isnt everything and to appreciate things in life whether it be good or bad, to have a dream, really key essentials in life and I think this movie has portrayed all these GIFTS very brilliantly to the audience.
Without spoiling the movie or book, I highly suggest you go see this movie or even read the book. This movie was certainly a breath of fresh air and capture your heart and enrich your life with boundless reminders of what gifts we have.
A few years back, a little book started something very big. A message that has already prompted people to give to others, connect with friends and family, and help those in need like never before. Every one of us has powerful gifts to share, now we all have the added inspiration, resources and opportunities of a full-fledged movement. Each day, the momentum grows and the impact widens, as The Ultimate Gift continues to inspire millions of others to share the gift and change the world
