Last word – Good movie to watch by yourself.

Simple theme. An old lady hires a journalist to write her obituary. When the journalist interviews her circle of friends and family, she does not find anything worth writing. The old lady sets a goal for herself. She makes amends with a few people and touches the lives of a few others. She explores new avenues to work, even at 81 years old, and lives her life to the fullest.

One conversation she has with kids inspired me.

“Taking risks is what life is all about.

In my day, no man wanted to marry a woman who was educated. They did not want to marry a woman who worked. Even more, they avoided women who ran a business.”

One of the girls asks her – “Why did you take those risks?

She replies smilingly “Because there was no way I was not going to live up to my potential.”

Then she poses a question to the kids

“Are you willing to take the risk of doing something stupid?

Or are you willing to take the risk at doing something great?”

Such a simple way to influence young minds.
