Seabiscuit
My all time favorite and a true story in America "Seabiscuit", I thought I should share some thoughts on this movie.
This is a story of an Undersized Horse and 3 men who not only change their lives but also influenced the people around them. For years this horse fought with his trainers and his owner grappling at low level of racing, he was misunderstood and mishandled and the owner had decided to kill him, but a millionaire comes to his rescue and buys him at the cheapest rate.
He makes a team with a mustang breaker and a prize fighter who is also a failed Jockey. But the thing is that these men had no horse sense but the only thing they had was that they believed in Seabiscuit and believed in themselves, they believed with little direction this horse can accomplish great barriers. These three men put in all they had and use all the techniques to train Seabiscuit, and what they discovered was behind this hostile horse there is a gentlemanly horse with keen intelligence, frightening speed and ferocious will to compete. Later on Seabiscuit develops an inseparable attachment with the Jockey, the love and bonding between them made them win all the races. He became all time hero breaking all records.
I am sure that we all at least once in our lives must have undergone through such times where we have grappled on a specific issue, felt disown, rejected, demoralized. Here we have something to learn from this movie, I am not comparing each of us to Seabiscuit, his will power and determination is far above the rest, but all our lives revolved around him. Little direction and a belief in ourselves will change our life for ever.
Once in a Sunday mass sermon I remember a priest saying, “Our life is built on what we believe and not what we see. Christ also says, “Happy are those who haven’t seen me and yet believe in me”.
This movie teaches us never to under estimate the power of small group of people, with little believe in them and a sense of direction can create wonders. What we need is not 100% knowledge in one field but 1% knowledge in 100 fields.
There is a fantastic quote in the book “Monk who sold his Ferrari” awaken yourself to the power of your own mind to make things happen and the entire universe will conspire with you to work magic in your life.
I hope we all become like Seabiscuit and gallop our way to the Victory.
"All that matters is how you finish and not how you start".
