Rain Man


Rain Man, is a film about the story of 2 brothers, one of whom suffers from autism, and the other is a young entrepreneur, ambitious with economic problems, the story begins when the father of two dies, and the inheritance is divided between his two sons to the sick guy of autism; Raymond, he inherited 3 million USD and the son 'healthy', Charles, he inherited a convertible car, the ambition of Charles will take him to fight for Raymond’s custody , thereby conserving 3 million dollars, but during his journey will realized that his best friend Rain Man, an imaginary friend, is really Raymond, his brother. In my opinion this is an excellent movie that shows the world from two sights completely different, for one the world means nothing more than money and power, while for the other the world is reduced to the routine already memorized, both ends are totally dangerous for anyone, similarly shows two phases of intelligence, Charles, is a cunning and manipulative young man who always achieves its objectives, but if you look carefully, Raymond is not much different, except for their huge capacity of memory, which in no way can be called intelligence. Speaking precisely of this issue, I think the movie tries to show us how people with autism develop other skills, and we could catalog of geniuses to these people, but for me the ability to Raymond has nothing to do with intelligence, even if this could have known what would happen in the casino, counting the cards, or for example that was faster than the calculator to perform a multiplication, he knew because he had seen it not because he knew what is a multiplication. At the end gives us a great lesson of love, and even when I did not see the end, taking that this is a production of Hollywood, I can imagined, finally I believe that the film shows us two worlds, as I mentioned, that are opposites but, at a crossing point you can realize that they are more similar to what we believe, and that Charlie is so dependent on Raymond as Raymond on Charlie.

Steve Jobs


Well, I found this video fascinating, I think the message is clear, a man who managed to overcome all the obstacles that life gave encourages young people to do what they want, as long as this is what you really love, and never give up, even when everything seems to be against you, continue doing what you like and sooner or later you'll receive your reward. This philosophy I've always tried to do in my life, I do what I love and I have fun doing it, I try to live all my days at most, not thinking that will be my last day, but trying to do something different every day, something that makes me feel proud and well myself, I never regret what I do, for better or for worse this will leave you a lesson, it is very inspiring to listen to someone like Steve Jobs, one of the richest men in the world, talking as he talks, and how him, an adopted child, a young man with many shortcomings, and at some point ill with cancer, managed to overcome everything and reach the peak of success with his two companies, both leaders, apple and Pixar, I therefore reiterate his message, do what you love, and never give up.
