My momma always said you can tell a lot about a person by their shoes, where they go, where they've been. I've worn lots of shoes, I bet if I think about it real hard I can remember my first pair of shoes. -Forrest Gump-
That's the quote from one of my favorite movies of all time, Forrest Gump! A (nearly) retarded man that have made so many achievments in his life. He's a succesfull sportman, playing superbly on american football and pingpong. As an american football player he postioned as a running back. Gaining a sport scholarship and then became a member of All American ( allstar player in american football ) and even shakehand with the president of US ( at that time ) JFK! His run is unstopable. Kinda ironic if we see the poor little forrest with his leg braces ( he supposed to wear that since the doctor told him so ). And in pingpong, he started to know the game since he entered the army. His massive skill of run had helped many soldiers but unfortunately, he got shot on his butt! lol He started to know pingpong after that. After he recovered from his injury, he showed how skillfull he is on this game and got transfered into a non combat division, which is by plaing pingpong for his country.
From playing pingpong, he got some money from a pingpong paddles company. Enough to start his business, catching shrimps! This is a some quite situation with what he faced on the war in the vietnam, water and wet. I don't know what rain shoes did he wore, but there must be something with it becaues the business bring him a good fortune :D
What else? for a (nearly) retarded man, he gained almost every normal people could only ever dreamed. He finally mariied to his childhood friend, a selfish woman for sure! come and go as she wished. Only comeback when forrest has a great wealth. ZZzz . The wedding held peacufully, the woman wore a nice wedding dress along with beautifull wedding shoes and have a cute lil boy :D
Fantastic life huh? By watching it, i've learned some lessons :
1. Be my self, Forrest is Forrest. He didn't have to be anyone else in order to succeed.
2. Run not from my trouble, but run for my dream.
3. Use an appropiate shoes for each situation.
4. to be added later, lol
