It's movie time, but where's the popcorn!?
Our deepest fear is not that
we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that
we are powerful beyond measure.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be
brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
We were born to make manifest
the glory of God that is within us.
And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.
Above is a nice quotation from a scene in AKEELAH AND THE BEE, a film about an 11 year old girl named Akeelah Anderson who has a talent in spelling English words. At first, her coach is Dr. Larabee, but when she had the chance to compete for the Scripps National Spelling Bee in her first try, she needs more assistance to prepare for it. She was given flashcards to learn 50,000 tough words to memorize and spell correctly for a month, which she did by the help of proud residents of her neighborhood as her coaches. And to spoil the ending, she made it to the championship despite the doubts she had before to herself and fear of not winning. It's a nice family movie that may inspire not only students involved in school competitions but I think in general, all those aspiring achievers. It's a movie about believing in all your potentials and then doing your best to reach that goal.
