HOLLYWOOD IS NOT FOR THOSE THAT ARE WEAK

Hollywood is truly the most abusive factory in the world of human emotions. In no other industry does a person fall from the street of gold to the street then this industry.  The majority of their labor force never makes it the A list which has a special privileges that aren’t seen in the “underclass”.  A, B rated star (the majority) has a life that goes up and down like a rollercoaster and may get a position not on their true talent but on who they know or how they know them.  If you want to get further up in that industry many will throw their values down and step up on anyone along the way.

This is why I believe the majority of the individuals in it are liberal. They see on a daily basis the greed of those that cling to the top and are more empathic to those that have fallen or even been stepped on even by them. Many are dreamers who imagine a world which is not based on reality but their own hopes and aspirations. Others don’t want to distance themselves from the culture they are in because they fear that will only give the industry another reason to slam the door. Hollywood truly is a mean machine that takes only a few and leaves the rest dreaming for more.

If we all took in one extra soul what a world it would be.  If we befriended just one lost individual so that they could get back on their feet then maybe that individual would help change one other individual and so on and so on.  I know there are plenty of individuals who because of their own poor choices put themselves into the shoes. For these their only hope might be tough love where they must find a path out for themselves.   Yet we all know individuals who with  little guidance can rebuild their life again.

Let’s start by looking within our own families. Maybe it’s  a lost cousin, aunt or uncle who just needs a little support emotional, spiritual or even financially.  It could be a person who used to go to your Church or Shul but left because of despair. Let’s find a way to lend a helping hand now because we one hand can save a soul and without who knows maybe even the world.

It is one of the toughest lessons in business and life but there are times you must be cold.  When one is trying to get work done they must be willing to delegate some of that work to others who aren’t that enthusiastic (being polite) with there new work assignment.  They may claim it’s unfair or I just get paid to look pretty but it’s up to convince them otherwise even at the point of drawing a line that sticks.  You may not be popular at times but you will be respected and more importantly you will get the task done efficiently and without killing yourself.
