Actor

An actor is only great when he believes in the role he is playing.

The first thing we have in mind is that handsome or beautiful actor in the movie or series we are following. Some are just merely there for show, while the once that really stand out are the ones that stay in our heads for a long time. It could be the unforgettable beauty or the noble character they are playing. Different people remember different characters from the movie that we watch.

Just like the Lord of the Rings. Most people will remember Frodo Baggins portrayed by Elijah Wood because he is the main actor in the worlds’ most well-known trilogy. Some people will remember Gandalf, can be the Grey or the White, portrayed by Ian McKellen because he is the most outstanding wizard of all realms in the movie. There will be a handful that remembers the other characters like the clean and noble Sindarin Elf, Legolas of the Woodland Realms who is the saviour of all times, or the elusive Stoor Hobbit, Gollum of the River-folk who is always lurking around in all dark corners.

Whichever character we remember better, we become. Whether or not we agree to this, is up to the individual. When we quiet ourselves enough, we will realize that we are somewhat attracted to the actors not because of their looks but because of the role in the movie or series we watch. Like attracts like. This is the law of attraction and it applies to everyone.

Some people idolize actors that they like. While this may be good because most actors do have a very healthy lifestyle. Besides looking at the fame alone, we should concentrate on what the actors are able to teach us. They do not become famous overnight. We have to also learn from them, their past efforts, and how they managed to be where they are right now. The best way to learn is to learn from our idols.

We are all actors in our own way. This world is a big theatre!

How we want to live our life is entirely up to us. We may be a speck of dust now but it is not what that determines our future. We can choose our own path. We can be the character we want to be.

We can be an entrepreneur. We are all born with a brain to think. Every little idea can be turned into an opportunity for success. We can change our own lives for the better. All we need is determination in everything that we do. We have to believe that whatever we do brings value to other people. We have to bring out the best in ourselves. Everyone is different, there is no need to compare. What we have in mind is what will bring us to the right place.

We can be a teacher. We can teach one way or the other. A teacher need not be in school. Teachers of life is everywhere. There is no limit to what we can teach our children. Nothing in life is every written in syllabus in text books. What we learn in school is just the foundation, we learn words and how to put together words. While this is a skill, it does not determine who we ultimately are.

We can be a leader. We can have many followers. What is important is not how much people respect us but how well we nurture everyone else. A great leader do not limit the thinking of others. They welcome ideas and encourage people to put on their thinking cap. Never once will they say an idea is a bad idea because they understand that every individual is different. Every idea is good in their own way. Whether or not we see it now, it really does not matter. As long as there is an idea, life moves forward.

We can be an environmentalist. Humans have tapped into nature far too long and deep, nature is bleeding. There is no turning back but we can always learn from the past mistakes. We can always change life for the better. We can live a more eco-friendly lifestyle. We only need air, food, and shelter. What we provide for the homeless are the only essentials that humans need to live. Everything else is just a want. We can have them or omit them.

Choose wisely, which role we want to play.

The actor has to develop his body. The actor has to work on his voice. But the most important thing the actor has to work on is his mind.
