Meet the Robinsons

October 11, 2008 · Filed Under General 

I love the movie Meet the Robinsons. Meet the Robinsons makes me cash, or rather the principles in the movie help me make cash. I enjoy lots of different kinds of movies, but most won’t help me earn any money.

What I like about the movie is the main theme that is woven throughout the entire movie -”Keep Moving Forward”. When I just stop to think about it, I realize how profound that phrase is. The idea of always moving forward. Regarless of what happens, regardless of how much money I make or don’t make, regardless of what people say, keep moving forward.

Sometimes I just get stuck on a project or maybe I get flooded with problems. I just keep moving forward. I pick something and do it, then I do the next thing and so on. I accomplish a lot that way.

Sometimes it helps remind me not to look back. There is a lot I can learn from my past, but sometimes I just have to focus on going forward. When I stress out over a mistake I made that cost me a bunch of money, I stop, refocus, and keep moving forward. When someone says negative things and tells me I can’t do it, I just keep moving forward anyway.

The movie is a cartoon movie, but amazingly it teaches a profound concept. The movie also sort of centers around success and failure in being an entrepreneur. To that end they talk about having great failures. “That was a great failure!” they would say. When I fail I learn, but I don’t really learn that much when I succeed. In fact I am sure I have missed big opportunities because I succeeded at something small and didn’t realize what I was missing. I am not for always failing, but it gives me the perspective that when I fail its an opportunity to learn something that will allow me succeed later.

I keep moving forward.
