CONFIDENCE: "Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game."
Movie quote from: A Cinderella Story (2004) - Sam's Dad (Whip Hubley)
When faced with an uncomfortable challenge, most of us turn away. We choose 'not embarrassing ourself' over 'pursuing opportunity'. This is certainly the case for Sam (Hilary Duff), a young woman whose father's death leaves her living with a stepmother who does not care about her. (does this story sound familiar?) As we learn in the surprising film, A Cinderella Story, rewards often come to those confident enough to step up to the plate and swing.

APATHY: "I don't think I can continue to live in a place that embraces and nurtures apathy as if it was a virtue."
Movie quote from: Se7en (1995) - William Somerset (Morgan Freeman)
Few things are more destructive to the human soul than apathy. Any workplace, community setting, or relationship that "embraces and nurtures apathy" is a dead place, a place where things won't grow. Unfortunately, in today's world, apathy has become cool. This cannot be good for the human condition.

PURPOSE: "Mind the gap - it's the distance between life as you dream it and life as it is."
Movie quote from: Notes on a Scandal (2006) - Sheba Hart (Cate Blanchett)
We all need a purpose to our lives. We must pursue things unaccomplished to bring new meaning to our day. However, obsessive needs can be mistaken for meaningful purpose. When this happens, damaging long-term pain is often the result. By narrow-mindedly pursuing short-term emotional needs, we place at risk values that are more long-lasting. No film better portrays the importance of 'minding the right gaps' than the powerful movie, Notes on a Scandal.

POTENTIAL: "I am putting myself to the fullest possible use, which is all I think any conscious entity can ever hope to do."
Movie quote from: 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) - HAL (Douglas Rain)
In Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey, the artificially interactive computer HAL is asked by a BBC interviewer if it was frustrated by its dependence on humans to get things done. HAL's confident response (cited above) demonstrates its sense that it was working at maximum potential. I don't know a single human being who could say that.
