Films that shaped how I work
Off the clock I watch a lot. These are the motivational and feel-good films that stayed with me: about learning at any age, taking the leap, chasing the next level, and asking the one question nobody asks.
Reinventing yourself and taking the leap
The Intern 2015
Never too old to start fresh.
Age never matters when it comes to learning new things and adapting to change: a lesson from a 70-year-old starting fresh.
Begin Again 2014
Keep the spark. Restart anywhere.
When you still have a spark and raw passion inside you, you can restart everything from scratch, wherever you are.
We Bought a Zoo 2011
Twenty seconds of courage.
The push to risk being embarrassed for a moment, just to see a greater life on the other side.
“Sometimes all you need is twenty seconds of insane courage.”
Chasing greatness and pushing your limits
Whiplash 2014
Great is never quite enough.
The high of achieving something great, and then still feeling it isn’t enough as you chase the next level.
Good Will Hunting 1997
Easy is not the point.
Life isn’t only about doing what comes easy to you: real challenges, outside your comfort zone, are what make it exciting.
Soul-searching and a life refresh
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty 2013
It was within us all along.
It plays like a full travel vlog, and shows how we race to find something out there that is already within us, unnoticed. The photographer who waits for the snow leopard and never takes the shot says it best.
“Beautiful things don’t ask for attention.”
Meiyazhagan 2024 · Tamil
Three hours that reset me.
A three-hour conversation that feels like a complete life refresh. It pulls you in so deeply you feel you were right there with them.
Curiosity and challenging the system
