A successful actor, a world renowned bodybuilding champion and now the 38th Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger shared his 6 Rules of Success in a commencement speech at University of Southern California after receiving the doctorate. Here are the rules by Dr. Arnold.

1-: Trust Yourself- So many young minds are getting too many advices from others but the best thing is that dig deep down and figure out yourself, what you want to be not what others are asking. Be that what you want to, what makes you happy, ignoring that how crazy it may sound to others. Just trust yourself at every step of your life.

2-: Break the Rules- We have so many rules in life about everything, do that, do this, don’t go there, etc. I say break the damn rules but not the law. It is impractical to follow all of them. Think outside of the box if you want to be different and praised by all. Break some rules and avoid trouble.

3-: Don’t be Afraid to Fail- Don’t be afraid to take the risks. You can’t do everything right without failing in that first. Don’t be scared of risky decision making. You can’t be stuck with the fear of loss. Keep pushing yourself towards your goal. If you know it is the right thing, don’t back down.

4-: Don’t Listen to the Naysayers- You may hear all the time that, you can’t do this, you can’t do that, it is never been done before and so on. Cherish this line when someone says, no one has ever done this before. Take it this way that you could be first one to do it. Pay absolute no attention to these naysayers.

5-: Work Your Butt Off- You don’t want to fail in life just because you didn’t work hard enough. Don’t leave any stone unturned. Take control of what you started and then say, see you on the other side. As Mohammad Ali said, “I don’t count my sit-ups; I only start counting when it starts hurting. Because when I feel pain, that’s one it really counts.” That’s the reason; this phrase is with everything, “no pain, no gain.”

6-: Always Give Something Back- Whatever path you take in life; don’t forget where you came from. Becoming a successful person does not make you good; giving something back to your society, to the country makes you great. The feeling of giving back takes you to the higher levels than before in your life. Then give more back to achieve even greater status.

Prepare yourself, embrace these rules and now go out to the world to achieve greatness.

Welcome to the grand finale. What’s gone is definitely not gone when it comes to movies because some stories are meant to last forever. Here we are to look back the year’s best, favorable and at last but not the least attention seeking movies. Some of them were legitimate blockbusters smashes and some of them were not that good. The list is random not the ranked. Without further upheaval, here we go…

At the top the film that showed rarity, occupied mind as well as heart and pushed the imaginative frontiers.

Gravity:
This is a great endurance story set in outer space. The director Alfonso Cuaron depleted years in the making of this piece, did not compromise the apparition and pushed the boundaries of filmmaking. This was fully recompensed with the successful hit at the box office. Just few films craft a sense of wonder like Cuaron in this film in the CGI age. This was a big achievement.

Frozen:
This one is one of the Disney’s immense animated piece of work. This was a financially big hit at the box office and critically acclaimed. This was a well crafted fairy tale of feminist adventure of two womanly protagonists. The script is amusing and the songs are lively and it’s visually outstanding.

Iron man 3:
This is the third installment of action packed series. This is a brilliant piece of art by Marvel. This was a huge success at the box office securing over a billion dollar. The film showed a sharp political commentary and twisted plot. This is an exciting adventure, funny and character driven movie.

12 years a slave:
This one is sweltering and emotionally overwhelming of a man that abducted and sold into slavery. It was not a big hit but the story is really eye-catching. This film showed the physical torture and psychological horrors of slavery. This is truly one of the greatest films of the year.

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty:
This is sweet story of a man who dreams of being much more.  Quiet fascinating. He finally gets the opportunity to live the dreams when he looks for the missing star photographer. Expect wonderful dreams and possibly, in the end, a splendid reality as well.

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug:
This is the second part (a spin-off) of the Peter Jackson’s legendry Lords of The Rings. A bunch of elves fight a giant dragon and the dragon in the mountain. Gandalf will be off encountering the Necromancer while the dwarves and their hobbit “burglar” wrestle their way through Mirkwood to the fateful quarrel with their big and scaly nemesis. This is one adventure that not to be missed.

Now You See Me:
Films concerning magic often struggle on the fact that cinema itself is magical and can annul out the impact of their activities. But the spectacular illusions and the clever addition of some unfortunate, helpless FBI and Interpol agents to try to understand the tricks make for a joyful adventure. The poky coppers can’t compare with the magicians’ hady work well at first at least. Early in the year it was full of tortured heroes and apocalyptic visions but this movie romp was a deserved hit.

As we deal up with 2013 box office reviews, in a fit of excitement, you will be seeing best of 2014 anticipated movies.
