As a good friend Alex Seelig pointed out, this year should be duped the chinese year of "the lad"! After all we will have to wait another 1000 years until another 007 year comes around! So I guess we should all make the most of it!
It will certainly be a good year for 007 himself after the brilliant Casino Royal that was released last month. The opening scenes involving the pioneer of the street movement parkour were truly breath taking.
Following on from the cinematic theme, today we saw in pursuit of happyness starring Will Smith and his real life son as his son. There were many things in this film which certainly hit me, and I can draw a few parallels to my own life through this well told tale.
Never let anyone tell you that something is not possible, not even me! If you have a dream then you do every thing in your power to realise this dream is the basic message behind the film.
Will Smith in the film is a very intelligent character who finds himself in horrendous financial mess trying to bring up his son after a break in his relationship. Through good fortune and determination he manages to land an intership with a stock brokers.
A fear that he talks about is that excelling at school gives you possibilities, and people start talking about all the things you can possibly become. However the danger is that you spend too much time thinking about what you could become and don't actually become anything!
I have to say this is a big fear of mine............ I have the potential to be alot of things with focus , motivation and determination.
Hopefully this year will breed success and initiate the momentum for future success.
The reason I mention the film is due to the fact that it has inherently motivated me, for one this blog is as a direct result of the highly motivated mindset I currently find myself in.
I feel that writing a little piece about an event or thought, serves as a very powerful tool for analysis that can then be used in an effective way.
Anyway after some frantic typing my hands are starting to cramp.
Year 2007 Year of the Lad, lets make it a huge one!
Everyone should list 3 things they want to achieve in 2007 and "scale" some new heights!
Serre Chevalier on Thursday for some skiing - bring it on!

And so the vast mind of the Banks is opened to the public. I have to say, the Pursuit of Happyness was't high on my must-see films list, but if it inspires this much thought then perhaps its worth a watch after all. Look forward to more insights hermano.
