Lessons I Have Learned Form Fast 6

So after seeing the movie for the third time, i think it pays to have a good review and list down all the things I have learned.



1. Family Comes First - "The moment you step on to that door, it changes everything" This is what Torreto told O'Conner when he was told that Mia gave birth to Jack. This sets the tone of the movie. You put your family above all else.

2. If You Make a Mistake, You Pay For It - Shaw emphasized this to Letty and team when Ivory, one of Shaw's crew died in their encounter with Torreto's team. This teaches someone to be responsible in all their actions.

3. You Have To Have A Code - Shaw's message to Torreto. He mentioned too, "This code you live by makes you predictable. In our line of work predictable makes you vulnerable. I can reach out and break you any time I want." - that's FAMILY. That is because he can easily identify how to make or break someone. On the other hand, keeping your family (Lesson #1), can make you stronger too. This really depends on how you're going to put things in perspective.

4. We All Have A Weak Spot – This quote from Shaw illustrates that we all have a weak spot, no matter how good we are, how tough we are, how great we are… we all have a weak spot and we all have room for improvement.

5. No One Makes Me Do Anything, I Do What I Want To Do – This quote by "Letty" has a powerful and truthful message. There is power in embracing that you are responsible for your own actions and decisions. Often times people try to put the blame on everyone else instead of looking in the mirror.

6. Sometimes You Just Have to Have Faith. This is what Dom responded when Letty asked him, "How did you know that there's a car who's gonna catch us to break our fall?" He didn't know that there will be a car to catch them, he just believed in it. In life, you'll never know someone's gonna catch you when you fall, you just have to keep the faith.

7. Grace Before The Meal - This was towards the end of the movie. Reminds everyone a good value our parents have taught us. Pray.

8. Thank God For Family – This was a really nice moment was at the end of the movie when the crew was gathered together at a modest old house in Los Angeles sitting around the table holding hands and about to say grace before their mea (Lesson #6)l. One of the first words out of Roman's mouth was Thank God For Family. He went on to say thanks for fast cars. This moment is a great reminder that no matter how much we thank God; we still have not thanked Him enough.

Fear and Forgiveness

It's my parent's 30th anniversary and our Brian's christening on Saturday where in spite busy schedule preparing everything for the visitors, i still think of Jacob.  I packed Beef Tapa and Pancit for him and even thinking of bringing him Salad for dessert.  We didn't have a good conversation after hours of waiting for him then he finally said we're not meeting up because he's not in the mood and he wants to stay at home and watch Initial D.  Then all of my insecurities and paranoia came out. I started thinking, just like what happened with Jeff, very similar indeed. He started confirming why he's sticking with me. He reminded me to stop counting the days and enjoy that we're together. I think his way of showing me that he likes me is seeing me everyday for dinner. Though i heard him said, "ano bang napapala ko pag pumupunta ko sayo? Kahit pagod ako nagpupunta pa din ako. Dapat maapreciate mo yun." I am not sure what that means but i just w...

The Mid-Year Crisis

I call it Mid-Year Crisis. And literally, this happens in the middle of the year. Have you been here: Anxious about the status of your career Panicky about your financial status which is directly correlated to your, uhuh, Career Forced to get married in the next two years because you're not getting any younger Fretting over time lost where you feel you've been completely unproductive yet you feel so tired and restless Pushing the panic button because at this month, you haven't really achieved anything from the goals you have listed at the start of this year Felt so alone and no one cares to listen because (a) You're too embarrassed to tell any of your friends (b) You know from past experiences that your friends won't care (c) They are also experiencing the same crisis Bring down the curtain and wind up that it is really hard to be successful in this life and it's just so hard to achieve your dreams so you better look for an alternative, Uhhmm, letting yourse...
