Kate Winslet

“I’ll never let go, Jack. I’ll never let go.”–Rose

The movie Titanic made Kate Winslet famous. She did a wonderful job as Rose. She was very beautiful. She was gorgeous. But who is she?

Born on October 5, 1975, in Reading, England, Kate Elizabeth Winslet is the grandaughter of two theater managers (her maternal grandparents founded Reading Repertory Theatre) and the daughter of two actors. Winslet began acting as a child, making her first appearance on British television at age seven in a cereal commercial. In 1988, she appeared in the TV series Shrinks; three years later, she left school to pursue her fledgling acting career.

Winslet appeared on the British stage in productions such as Adrian Mole and Peter Pan and had a recurring role on the British sitcom Get Back before landing her debut film role, in Heavenly Creatures (1994), directed by Peter Jackson. In the film, Winslet played Juliet Hulme, a schoolgirl with tuberculosis whose obsessive friendship with a classmate leads the two girls to murder the classmate’s mother in order to avoid separation.

Winslet attracted even more attention with her next role in Ang Lee’s film adaptation of the Jane Austen novel, Sense and Sensibility (1995). The actress proved she could hold her own across from screen legends such as Emma Thompson, Hugh Grant, and Alan Rickman. As the winsome Marianne Dashwood—the “sensibility” of the movie—Winslet earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress. The film also earned high praise from critics.

The Real Captain of the Titanic

The true reason why the movie Titanic was such a success was because of its captain, the director, James Cameron.

I think I’m in the process of letting go of it now, but it’s been a 17-year journey that started with great interest and became an obsession,” said Cameron when we sat down with him for an ABC News/Yahoo! News Newsmakers interview.

“And the fascination, I think, is not just the human story, but there’s also the forensic analysis of the wreck. What can we learn from that twisted steel at the bottom of the ocean that – we can work backwards, like an airplane crash, and figure out, can we find the iceberg damage? What happened when it broke up? What happened when it sank to the bottom, and so on?”

Cameron has, of course, done other things since “Titanic” premiered in 1997 (you may have seen a little project of his called ” Avatar” – the only other film in history ever to gross more than $2 billion). But the Titanic’s sinking kept pulling him back in.

CGI and the Huge Crane

The genius James Cameron employed great computer generated images (CGI), which were just proliferating at the time, and a huge crane, in making this spectacular movie.

Construction crews built two huge water tanks. One was 90 foot deep and over 800 foot wide in which the model could slowly sink into 17 million gallons of water fed direct from the Pacific Ocean.

The second tank was 30 foot deep. It contained 5 million gallons of water and housed the elegant first class dining saloon and the three storey Grand Staircase.

Working from the original Harland & Wolff blueprints, the model was built to 90% full scale in such detail to include her four 65 foot funnels.

Since she was built near the coast, there was a constant ocean horizon which added to the image of being onboard the Titanic. An ideal location.

The furnishing details of the model were not really based on the real Titanic, but her sister ship, the Olympic. This was because the Titanic having sunk on her maiden voyage obviously had not been photographed as often as the Olympic. Internal views and contents photographs were used by the craftsmen to reproduce the lavish interiors once enjoyed aboard both ships. The set creators reproduced the First Class Reception Rooms, Smoking Room, Promenade, Palm Court Café and the Deluxe State Rooms. The third class berths were also reproduced with great accuracy.

A huge crane was used to film overhead shots and long views.

To recreate the final few moments of the disaster, the movie model was separated into two pieces with the front half sunk in 40 foot of water using a powerful hydraulic jack. The aft section or Poop Deck was moved onto a special tilting platform like a giant sea saw built next to the tank. It is understood that in the making of the last few scenes a few extras were injured during the plunge.

Titanic was a love story – the love between Jack and Rose. The romance between them was as intense as the tragedy of the sinking of the Titanic. We are not sure that we will be able to watch another movie with the same level of romance.

Tagumpay Pablo Perez Kintanar and Scheduling

The American pronunciation of scheduling is actually different from the British.  So there are 2 approaches in saying the word. And according to Tagumpay Pablo Perez Kintanar’s quote, there are also 2 ways in interpreting what to do with one’s scheduling. We can prioritize what’s on our planner or we can schedule our priorities. But if we will use the wisdom found in Mr. Stephen Covey’s words, it seems we would benefit more if we would schedule our priorities.

Planner

Every December, people go crazy in getting Starbucks stickers. To those of you who are not familiar with this coffee shop’s promo, once you’ve received the required number of stickers, you will get a free planner. This is perhaps a little amusing, that, even with the advent of smart phones and tablets with calendar apps, there are still people who love to get branded planners from their favorite coffee hangout.

But what is more amusing is that many people end up not really writing anything on those planners. Well, if there are people who are able to fully use them for the whole year, kudos to them. This is a very American phenomenon as well. People LOVE to try to be organized, and will spend a lot of money and time trying to organize, when they should be using that time and those resources to actually complete their projects.

Before the calendar apps (with very helpful notifications) were created, we looked at people who use planners as organized people. They were the men and women who planned ahead and we believed that they would be successful in life. So it’s a no brainer that the people who prioritize what’s on their schedule have productive lives. But again, it’s the scheduling of our priorities that is key to the door of better living.
But how do we schedule our priorities?

The Key

Before we can schedule our priorities, we should know first what our priorities are. What should be our priorities? That’s what Mr. Tagumpay’s quote is all about: finding out what our priorities are. There are people who put their family as their first and foremost. There are some who view success as their goal in life. And, some wanted knowledge and wisdom as their priority. And those who have a messiah complex, like our patriotic heroes, their preference is to save lives and provide freedom.

If you are able to find out what your priorities are, the second step according to our key is to schedule them. Find out your priority 1, priority 2, etc. Once you’ve done that, you have opened the door.

Tagumpay Pablo Perez Kintanar & Malaysia

There’s a commercial that we may not forget. There’s a song in that commercial that has become our LSS and it goes, “Malaysia, truly Asia”.

Do you remember that commercial?

One of the many countries that Tagumpay Pablo Perez Kintanar has visited is Malaysia. The appeal of Malaysia has been greatly improving and Filipinos (like Mr. Kintanar) do not hesitate to go there either for business or for pleasure. That’s probably why the Malaysian government has commissioned that commercial because they believe that it’s now a perfect time to promote tourism in their country.

Geographically Unique Country

Where in the world is Malaysia? For us who are not well-versed in geography, here it is:

Did you see Palawan? It’s on the upper right hand side. So Malaysia seems to be just a stone’s throw away from our country. But wait a minute, did you notice that Malaysia is also a stone’s throw away from Thailand! Amazing, isn’t it? Malaysia is a country separated by a sea! Two land masses and each land mass is connected to a different country.

Because of Malaysia’s proximity to our beloved motherland, there are a lot of things that we share. One of them is the language. Some Tagalog words can be found in the Malaysian language.

The History

It’s complicated. It’s so complicated that the Malaysian history timeline in Wikipedia has still not been completed by contributors. Like most countries, it enjoys a rich history filled with colonization, occupation, wars, etc.

I’d like to start with its British colonization. It would seem that countries become great if they have been colonized by the United Kingdom. By the way, did you know that the Philippines was colonized by the Brits for 2 years? Going back to Malaysia, it was in 20 January 1874 that the Pangkor Treaty started the Brit involvement officially in the policies of the Malays. This started the creation of the British Malaya.

Fast forward to the 20th century, in 10 March 1909, The Anglo-Siamese Treaty was signed by Thailand and the UK, which separated Thailand and Malaysia (the left sight of the map). This reminds me of the separation of North and South Korea.

Used at the 1950 British Empire Games

Fast forward again, after World War Two, after the minor wars, civil wars, and after several political wars, it was on 31 July 1957 that the Independence of the Federation of Malaya was declared. But the true freedom was recognized on 16 September 1963, when the country known as Malaysia was established.

Here is a video from Andrew Ho Ken Chye entitled Fascinating Facts About Malaysia. He shows here how truly proud he is to be Malaysian.

Tagumpay Pablo Perez Kintanar and His Definition of Success

Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful. – Albert Schweitzer

For Tagumpay Pablo Perez Kintanar, success is a state of being where you feel contentment and happiness.

We create our own life. It is not in the hands of other people. What we are now is what we have made out of ourselves. Success is like climbing up a mountain.

To become successful, it takes a lot of effort. Success starts by asking yourself what you want to achieve and what is your purpose in life. – TG Kintanar

Types of Success

There are several types of success in life. The following are the main areas of life wherein we dream of becoming successful.

Success in Family Life: Success in not complete in your life if your family is not part of it. Success begins in family life. This is where we take all challenges to give the best to our parents, to our partner in life and to our kids. Let me share with you the 7 Secrets of Family Success that I have read from Carroll Emerson’s blog. This will give you and your family more inspiration.

7 Secrets of Family Success

Secret 1 – The Right Priorities…What comes first in your life? For successful families, everyone else is more important than anything else. A successful parent and spouse puts his or her family ahead of their self. That means that their job, possessions, desires, friends, relatives, etc. all take a back seat in relation to their spouse and kids. When both mates and parents can do this, it provides a rich loving atmosphere for the whole family. What is priority in your life?

Secret 2 – Commitment…Do you view your marriage as a permanent union? It’s easy to say yes. However, in order to be sure, measure your commitment against the backdrop of problems. When your marriage has difficulties, are you ready to bail out and leave? Are you truly committed to your mate? Too many view problems as a way out rather than an opportunity to grow. Albert Einstein was noted as saying, “In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.” When each spouse has a sense of commitment to the marriage, then there is a feeling of security with each one trusting the loyalty of the other. Are you committed to your marriage and to your mate?

Secret 3 – Teamwork…The Bible identifies an arrangement within marriage. Ephesians 5:22-24 it says that the husband is the head of the family. In order for any structure to function as it should, whether it is a business, organization or a family, there should always be someone in charge. When both respect this “headship arrangement”, the family functions as it should. Nevertheless, both husband and wife should view the marriage in terms of “we” or “ours” rather than “mine” and “me”. Since marriage is the opposite of singleness, then the heart should be married, too. Teamwork helps create intimacy between the two and a relationship that works. It’s similar to a pilot and copilot working for the benefit of passengers. In your heart, do you think as a single person or as a loyal member of an important team?

Secret 4 – Respect…There is no room in a marriage and a family for political correctness. In other words, it is not loving to say one thing with the correct words but say it in such a way that the true meaning is understood by all. Sarcasm, insults and abusive speech are not conducive to success. When disagreements arise it is important to treat others as we want to be treated. (Matthew 7:12) Discuss matters openly but in a reasonable peaceful manner. There is a difference between “reacting” to a situation and “responding” to a situation. It is better to respond than react. How do you handle difficulties in the family?

Secret 5 – Reasonableness…Literally, this word means to yield. Who of us is perfect? When we make a mistake is it not true that we desire forgiveness and hope others yield to our error? It is important that we make allowances for error in our families. Husbands and wives should freely forgive one another of mistakes, and when children need discipline it should neither be to rigid nor too permissive. Household rules are necessary for peace just as in society, but they should be balanced and fair. How reasonable are you in dealing with your family?

Secret 6 – Forgiveness…This is the easiest to want and the hardest to give. How so? We may think we easily forgive but how often have you used the expressions such as, “You are always late” or “You never listen.” The usage of the words always and never are absolutes and leave no room for forgiveness. They call to mind past actions or mistakes that should have been forgotten when forgiveness was granted. Instead of bringing up the past, learn from past mistakes and move forward. Going backwards never leads to success. No one, including you, wants to be reminded of mistakes.

Secret 7 – A Firm Foundation…Family endurance is not an automatic process. In order for any house or building to stand it needs a firm foundation. A strong family needs a good foundation that is built on a source of guidance. Just as one would need a repair manual to work on a vehicle, families need the same. Whether one believes in God or not, the principles found in the Bible work. They can serve as a solid base for which families can find success. What source do you use as foundation for your family?

Excerpt from <https://carrollemerson.wordpress.com/2009/08/28/7-secrets-of-family-success/>

Success in Career: This is all about achieving your desired status in the profession that you have chosen. High compensation and being part of the top management is your aim. But your success in your career will be complete if you are able to establish a good relationship with your colleagues.

Success in Business: This is about earning the profit and growth that you have expected when you started your business. Success in business starts in goal planning. You must be a good leader as you run your business.

The Keys to Success

Below are the keys to success that you must read as you begin your journey. This will guide you on how to start and make plans for your success.

1. Preparation

“The secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes.” ~Benjamin Disraeli

Success loves preparation. If the perfect opportunity presented itself today, would you be ready? It’s better to be ready and not have an opportunity, then to have an opportunity and not be ready.

To succeed, you must be ready when opportunity comes. Spend your time preparing for success, when your opportunity comes, you’ll be glad you did.

2. Work

“Success is simply a matter of luck. Ask any failure.” ~Anonymous

All failures know that success is simply a matter of luck, they know it’s just a matter of being at the right place at the right time, they know with assurance that success is directly linked to good ole fashion chance.

However, those who have succeeded know that success is directly and proportionally linked to work. Even an amazing strategy can’t guarantee success. Zig Ziglar said, “The most practical, beautiful, workable philosophy in the world won’t work – if you won’t.”

You have to put in the time. However, when you put in the time, it makes success all the more sweet. When you come from “behind” and do the impossible, it makes success as sweet as a honeycomb. John H. Johnson said, “I believe the greater the handicap, the greater the triumph.”

3. Remember the Golden Rule

“Success is still the constant application of the Golden Rule.” ~Anonymous

Never forget the golden rule, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” That’s the key to success. Serve your clients as you would have them serve you. Meet their needs as you would have them meet your needs. Give them prices that you would want to pay, exceed their expectations in a way that you would want your expectations to be exceeded.

When you follow the golden rule, you open the door to success.

4. Confidence

“Confidence is the companion of success.” ~Anonymous

If you don’t believe in your abilities, don’t be surprised if no one else does either. Your negative thoughts about yourself send a signal throughout the world that others pick up on and respond accordingly. If you’re broadcasting the station “Depression 108.7” then others will treat you like you’re depressed.

But, when you believe in yourself and your potential, people pick up that signal, and they will treat you according to how they believe, you believe, you should be treated. Did you get that?

5. Lead

“A most important key to successful leadership is your ability to direct and challenge the very best that is in those whom you lead.” ~Anonymous

To be successful you must be a great leader. There’s probably nothing more difficult than being a great leader. It’s easy to be selfish, it’s easy to only be concerned with your needs, your wants and your desires. But to succeed you have to lead! You have to do what’s best for the people; you must bring the best out of those in whom you lead.

When you really lead, you will succeed.

Success starts from humble beginnings. The sweetness of success is felt even more when you look back to where you came from, where you have started, the struggles that you have overcome and the people who never left you in your journey to achieving what you wanted to become. In my opinion, a successful person is someone who knows how to share his triumphs and achievements. It is about not just being happy for what you’ve become, but being happy for others because they became successful too.
