Career lessons from the film "Divergent"

I want you to determine who you are and where your real place. Not a whim. Not because you wanted to become someone else, but because you honestly figured out in itself. I want you to be wise.

If you watched the movie "Divergent," you might remember these words at the beginning of the movie to hear in your address handsome Shailene Woodley, Which will have one of the most important tests in their lives.

Perhaps, many have gone to the cinema for this film to see another picture of the anti-utopian and have a good time watching krasavchikov and beauties in the world of the future. What no one expected was a strong bias toward a career in the film and the question "Who am I?".

And although the film "Divergent" has the elements of something unrealistic, common to all the militants, and his sci-fi scenario more predictable and banal, in the film laid relevance to many questions about the career that the creators of the film have decided to leave behind the scenes, hinting at a pleasant surprise just a slogan «Do you have what it takes?», which can be translated in a word "Can you?".

The most important question that determines our lives, when we once again make difficult decision for us, "Will I?".

Future-dystopia, action, survival, and a little love, but it is deeply buried question that remains outside the brackets of the plot, all still it proved to be the most important, because it determines our life, when we once again make difficult for us decision. "Will I?" - This question is answered the main character, as did the choice of their future profession. Go to the "fearless" (in fact, the army), in the "pundits" (scientists) or "volunteers" (altruists-otrechentsy)? Parents were volunteers, the brother went to the clever (in fact, betrayed the parents), and that the daughter, who all his life had been taught not to think about yourself, forget about vanity and help others? What does she do? She could to comfort the parents by their way of volunteers, and, in fact, thus remain in comfort zoneBecause her childhood taught altruism. She could also choose "neither myself nor you," lost in the wake of his brother clever than partially removed to bear responsibility for their choices.

But here comes the day and the hour when it is necessary to take the fateful decision, and she picks at the last moment something that aspired since childhood, but that faded into the second and third plan because of the influence of society, brother, parents. In the film a lot more episodes tickling the nerves, for which you can even watch a second time, but I still only limited to some pomace wisdom that wrote after watching the film.

Lessons from the film "Divergent"

1. Bums are people too. The film made a special emphasis on harmonious society, where everyone has their place and role. And even those unfortunates who could not find themselves, are defined in a separate group of "rogue states". They are not chasing the police, and they do not hesitate to representatives of other factions. On the contrary, these hermits help volunteers who feed them, prepare for them each night, organize clinics. If a person is not able to choose their social role, it is not necessary for it to look down on him. The harmonious society are sensitive even to the parasites, renegades, who will of fate found themselves on the margins of society.
2. All trades are important. As there are no ideal people, but there are a pair of perfect, and there are no ideal profession, but there are a harmonious society, composed of representatives of different professions. If all went to work by lawyers, bankers, and programmers, who would repairing cranes and garbage? The film "Divergent" teaches a new way to look at the representatives of even low-prestige jobs. When we hear that a person owns several businesses, even the tone of our voice somehow change and we start to behave, or what is more respectful. But we find ourselves in the market near the Seller nuts or parsley, as the brain, soaked stereotypes, for some reason, just write it in the losers. It should not be. In the end, there are people who love to sell nuts, and they have it turns out perfectly. And I would not mind to somehow earn a janitor, because it is really useful and noble work, which makes the world a better place (by the way, a child still helping cleaner a couple of times). And the fact that what little girl wants to meet with cleaner - this is a problem of society, not cleaner. Moreover, in some countries, the guys on the garbage trucks earn some more "white collar".
3. The correct choice of profession does not guarantee that it will be easy. Even if you have the ability to do anything, you have to go through fire, pipes and copper sulfate to achieve something. The main heroine of "Divergent," even more difficult to do, but a sure choice for themselves and went to the camp "brave" appears many times in situations requiring exercise courage and perseverance. Fortunately, in this regard, the film is plausible enough, as our heroine, being weak otschepenkoy-altruistka that I never in my life involved in sports, despite all their desire and eagerness regularly grasped bream from stronger rivals.
4. You can always start a new life with a clean slate. Shailene Woodley in the face of your character by the name of Beatrice in time have realized the subject and changed its name to Tris. I've done the same trick when he came to the Institute and named George. When you come to a new community, where people do not know the past is not a burden you, which means you can start all over again. Identify yourself you though Napoleon, people will have no other option but to accept you as such. In addition, the film is an episode where the representatives of different factions, who chose the service in "intrepid", sat at dinner and discussed the pros and cons his innate tendencies, whether erudition, integrity or repudiation (volunteering), and at this point their instructor sharply reined them Recalling: "I do not want to hear about your previous fractions. You fearless ". Thus the commander helped newcomers to forget the past, which would prevent them to learn a new profession, and begin to live from scratch.
5. Passion is more important than ability. Choosing between passion (passion) and abilities in some area, it makes sense to choose a passion, because it is possible, as the heroine of the film, to be equally capable in many areas, but at the same time to love something one. For example, Tris, though, and had a capacity in areas such as volunteering, altruism, work-friendliness and courage at the last moment chose still the last option - fearlessness. Because that's what courage resonated in her nature. And as Jack Ma used to say, one of the richest people in China and the first Chinese man caught on the cover of Forbes: "Doing is worth not what you can, but with what should be." For example, if you are on a high level of command of English and have the ability to teach, it does not mean that you will definitely not engage in teaching English. Although everything seems to be in it specifies (except for your inner desires, of course).

The film touches a lot more than, in particular the viewer familiarity with the concept of "Divergent," which means a person with varied skills. Such people, on the basis of the film, are extremely rare, although I would argue with that. As for me, in our society, a lot of divergents, who often do not know where to stick yourself.

So I would recommend this movie not only teenagers and college students who are in the beginning of his career and doubts about my choice, but also to those of us who are now experiencing middle age crisis.
