Doing What You Can Do


In the movie, " The Edge" there are two men lost in the wilds of Alaska. In order to survive one realizes he must remain positive and not give up hope despite all kinds of hardship. The other man is not without heart but has other devious motivations and loses hope time and again. The man with the positive attitude, Charles, says on a number of occasions to his devious friend Bob,
"WHAT ONE MAN CAN DO, ANOTHER CAN DO" this is said as a way of raising hope back into their minds. They manage over many several difficult days to survive. At the end the less hopeful man, Bob dies. The man with the positive attitude, Charles survives, realizing he is a changed man who will now live a very different kind of life.
"What one man can do, another can do."
The take away for me on this:
Positive belief is powerful, it can empower you and lead you to accomplish great things not previously thought possible, and this can ultimately change your life.
