Lessons from James Cameron

In this youtube on Tedtalks, director James Cameron talks about his work as a director, and the less-known work as an under-sea explorer and adviser on NASA.

Here are some of the lessons he found important to share:

1) Curiosity is the most powerful thing you own.

2) Imagination is the force that can manifest a reality.

3) Respect of teammates is something greater than all the laurels in the world.

And unlike what NASA says, failure is an option, but fear is not. Take the risk. Take the leap. This reminds me to get over my fear of not being able to complete my metro tour project, and just going out there and doing it.
