6th Reflection

This story was inspired by a true story, Ben Crane (Kurt Russell) and Cale Crane (Dakota Fanning), father and daughter who lack of much needed bond. Ben is a horse trainer who takes his work very seriously, neglects his own aspiring daughter while he pours his heart into the care of the horses that he train. So one day, Cale ask her father to take her along to work. While with her father, a horse named Sonador falls during a race, injuring herself badly enough. Cale having fallen in love at first sight of Sonador before the accident, begins to sneak out to the barn at night to see her, and give her ice cream. She was hoping that Sonador will get well soon and back on the track. After that, she heard a conversation between Ben and her mother about the burden they have of taking care Sonador. Emotionally, Cale sets out to run away and saddles up Sonador, and her father was in the rescue mission to save Cale that already terrified. This incident begins to cement the newly-forming bond between father and daughter, and also begins to heal the wounds of the whole family that had grow over the years. Sonador goes from being a negative focal point to the hero of the movie.

Yes, the clip by Youtube Channel : Daily Motivation, does inspire me. Why? because the guy named Nick Vujicic, who has neither arms nor legs, can stand up by himself when he was fell down onto the ground. Even he knows that its impossible for who has no arms and legs to get up by himself, but he does not know how or when to give up. He'll say "If I fell, i'll try again, and again, and again". I like Nick Vujicic's spirit that's inside him. He has that special thing inside him, if there is someone else like him, they would probably ashamed of their imperfect physicals and spending times inside the house rather than outside. Unlikely with a person who is perfect his or her physical, that isn't so grateful with themselves until do a plastic surgery. He succeed to motivate my daily life, and i'm so grateful with who I am now. Thank you Nick Vujicic, for the touching motivation.
