My Review of Movie Temple Grandin

Movie Temple Grandin is a great inspiration I've stumbled into. I'm so grateful that my interests have lead me to this movie and this glamorous person. Being autistic, she's gone though so much hardship. Yet she turned out to become a successful scientist and speaker. She is a proof that every child can be unique with enormous potential to become successful and healthy. She is a proof that with love and good will, everybody can make a miracle in their lives.

What hints did I get from this movie? I think, one, the intrinsic interest is so important. I'm urged to find out more intrinsic passions inside me, because they will bring about the biggest motivation and dynamics to my work, and they will create the greatest fulfillment and joy.

Second, I should know more about myself. Sometimes, the reason for us to feel frustrated by the surroundings is just that we don't know deeply about ourselves, our own needs, our own characteristics, our strength and weakness. We are so shy and so frightened to reveal ourselves and to show our authentic selves that we miss the chance to open a new door into a new world. We are the only one on this world who has the potential to know the best of ourselves. If our talents are discovered by some special person, that would be our luck. But before that, let's have the courage to love and embrace ourselves, and find out the shining points within us, trust in them and shed lights on them, so that they can grow to be big wonders. All of us have the power to do so. We can be the guidance of ourselves, as long as we inquire deeply into our heart for our true needs and true thirst.

Third, what’s good to cows can also be good to business. So that means we have no worries about tough jobs. All we need to do is find out ways that are most comfortable and interesting for us, because that will also be the most right things to the world. This makes all things simple, and this is definitely a mind revolution to me, for I』ve long been doing things in the most tedious and suffering way, and I'm trying to make the best out of boring. And from this movie, I just have the sudden awareness that I』m heading to a wrong way. Just like I』m writing this article, it doesn』t take much effort, yet it brings about lots of meanings. The words just floods out simply because I』m deeply touched by the movie and I have important words to say. Thanks to the movie, I』ve realized the true purpose of writing- that is to express my truly important thoughts.

In a sense, Temple Grandis and her autism set my heart free. I'm so released to be myself, and I can see my bright future. One day, I'll have a movie of my story as well.
