Daily Dialogue — August 26, 2017

“There are two kinds of people in this world — winners and losers. Inside each and every one of you at the very core of your being is a winner waiting to be awakened and unleashed upon the world. With my nine-step “Refuse to Lose” program you now have the necessary tools and the insights and the know-how to put your losing habits behind you and to go out and make your dreams come true.”

— Little Miss Sunshine (2006), written by Michael Arndt

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Advice. Today’s suggestion by Gisela Wehrl.

Trivia: Michael Arndt, who wrote the Oscar-winning screenplay for Little Miss Sunshine, used the supporting character name “Stan Grossman” (here played by Bryan Cranston) as a tribute to Fargo, another Best Original Screenplay (where the character was played by Larry Brandenburg).

Dialogue On Dialogue: Of course, Richard’s advice is precisely the opposite of the underlying meaning of the movie. That is provided by Duane:

“Do what you love and fuck the rest.” Another way of saying, “Follow your bliss.” That’s advice we ALL need to hear… and live by.
