A lot is possible to accomplish over time, if only we perform the right actions consistently along the way. If we aren't committing to building our foundation and constantly chasing the big score instead, odds are, we will miss it all.
I remember this dialogue from Mel Gibson while teaching his son about how to aim and shoot with a gun in the movie The Patriot that Aim small miss small. I think people like chasing big scores rather than doing things that they actually can. Very good analogy this.
Exactly. That is the scene! Lots of lessons to be had from one liners, if thinking a little bit about what they actually mean.
They used to make some great movies with great dialogues and even better tv shows. But sadly as of now, I cannot recall good writing in a tv show or in a movie. Just saw Fast X and John Wick 4 and was not impressed by both. Talented actors like Mel Gibson now act in B movies and these are still better than the current crop so you can imagine how the quality has fallen.
