SIEZE THE DAY! CARPE DIEM - Dead Poet's Society - Something to learn from here.
"Sieze the day boys - make your lives extraordinary! CARPE DIEM"
In the movie Dead Poets Society, Robin Williams plays the new English teacher, John Keating. During his very first class session Keating demonstrates forcefully that he is not just there to convey academic information, but also to show what students can do with such knowledge in their everyday lives.
The first class session is, indeed, not so much a lesson in English literature, but a dramatic philosophical wake-up call:
The verbal form of the call is “Carpe Diem–seize the day!” Keating tells his students to take a look at Robert Herrick’s famous lines
"Gather the rosebuds while ye may,
Old Time is still a-flying;
And this same flower that smiles today,
To-morrow will be dying."
“Why does the poet write these lines?” Keating asks, and he eventually answers himself with a flourish: “Because we are food for worms, lads. Because we’re only going to experience a limited number of springs, summers, and falls. One day, hard as it is to believe, each and every one of us is going to stop breathing, turn cold, and die!”
To drive home this point Keating makes the students look at the old photographs of former students that decorate the hallways.“They are not that different than any of you, are they? There’s hope in their eyes, just like in yours. They believe themselves destined for wonderful things, just like many of you. Well, where are those smiles now, boys? What of that hope?” The students are sobered by what Keating is saying.
Keating continues:Did most of them not wait until it was too late before making their lives into even one iota of what they were capable? In chasing the almighty deity of success did they not squander their boyhood dreams? Most of those gentlemen are now fertilizing daffodils.However, if you get very close, boys, you can hear them whisper. Go ahead, lean in. Hear it? (Whispering) Carpe Diem, lads. Seize the day. Make your lives extraordinary!
Keating’s teaching methods are unusual. He does not just tell students that it is important to keep an open, flexible mind, and to look at things from different and changing points of view. Rather, he makes them literally climb on top of a desk and take a look around.This unconventional and physical translation of the run-down expression “changing one’s point of view” has far more effect on his students’ dispositions than any amount of theoretical explanation.
Seize the Challenge
Seize the challenge by seizing the opportunities of each day. Begin by embracing three goals that gratify your passion and which beg for your attention. The ones that say come and get me.

Tony Robbins is a master in the field of personal development. His approach and style of training are radically different from the usual class room methodology. He addresses deep areas of your understanding. To that effect you might find some of his words offending you. Do not be put off. Just listen and take what applies to you.

212 - Thought Provoking
This is a classic example of how most of us stay in the heat but do not go a step further to use that same heat to drive ourselves forward. Suppose you take a frog and put him in a pot of boiling water he jumps out of it clear. But if you put the guy in a pot of cold water and then turn the heat on gradually - he dies!
There is a lesson to be learnt from this video. 212 degrees of heat matters!
