AAL IZZ WELL (All is well)

Recently I had a chance of watching the movie "3 Idiots" which has gone on to become one of the top grossing movies in the Indian film industry - Rs. 375 crore (3.75 billion) in 4 weeks.
A simple movie with a very effective message. The movie deals with the current "rat race" we are inflicted to ever since we start our lives, to the time we are in our professions and which goes on till the end of our lives.
The movie conveys a lot of messages through its plot but revolves around the fact to get out of the "rat race" and think out of the box.
Pursue excellence and success will follow, it is a by product. This we can very well see with this movie as an example. The makers made an excellent movie which connected with the present generation's heart and both fame and financial success has followed.
I would like to list a few lessons learnt from the movie,
Pursue Excellence & Success will follow.
All is well - Even when you are in dire straits and most difficult times of your life, if you keep telling your heart "All is well" it will give you the strength to face those difficult times
Passion leads to Excellence - If you make your passion or your hobby your profession, you are bound to be successful.
Learning is a constant process
Necessity is the mother of Invention - Learn to think "out of the box".
Mediocrity is penalized - Most of us are born average with limited resources, but each one of us has a genius which we should bring out and not die Mediocre.

I would suggest all to see this movie and those who have seen it, please watch it again.

From AIA.org - Falling Water - The story of a country house

This is a six part series featured on the AIA website on the Falling Water. An interesting read and facts about the Falling Water designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.

Fallingwater
The Story of a Country House

by Jim Atkins, FAIA

. . . all the elements of structure are combined so quietly that really you listen not to any noise whatsoever although the music of the stream is there. But you listen to Fallingwater the way you listen to the quiet of the country.
—Frank Lloyd Wright, 1955
