| E62. Reminder to Myself during a consultant days at Hollywood in 96-99 |
Intuition, Idea, Insight, Motivation, and Sincerity
Specialize in a specific period of architectural style (eg. Frank, before Middle Ages, English village town, etc) where other's don't have enough knowledge, and from where my knowledge base branch out.
Concentrate on building database of the specific period of architectural styles. Atmospheric building scenes is the one I can do really well.
All the movie executives I met has the attitudes that I can do whatever I want, and I can achieve whatever I want; they show the willful arrogance that the failure is not an option at all.
Keep a planner printed and handy, and check for a progress everyday, and revise for every detail.
Only desperation will push me. Don't be too optimistic about the future. Time flows, I'm getting old and the choice I can take becomes limited.
Never lose confidence in myself in pursuing the idealogy. If I follow anyone's taken step, there won't be any room for originality for me.
I can go without many things that seem indispensible and I've been doing quite a long. Changes are inevitable to lighten up myself. I can't carry on everything from the past to go along with. Let's take this situation as a turning point to lighten up.
No one can help me with my success. I can't rely on anyone for my course of life. I'll have to be my own to head into my world without consulting anyone else. It seems sad, but is a reality to face and accept.
It's never too early or late. In either case, I have to be with the right people.
I need a business planner with every detail.
Keep a journal of information. Although it might not be useful in short period of time, I'll have to keep it handy to organize information I'm getting.
I shouldn't follow someone's footsteps. I'll have to pave and map out my own way. That's the way for me to go on and that's why I couldn't get any advice from anyone else.
Aggressiveness and boldness are the key to the success in Hollywood entertainment industry.
Success means originality which is something never done before. Changing the accepted concept is the role of the creative mind.
Finish up a story as I planned. Unless I have a complete story done, I can't show it to anyone to get a deal.
