Imagination to Reality


                   
                         James Cameron the famous director of Terminator, Titanic & Avatar talk about his curiosities as a boy growing up, he founded he loved science fiction that he was exploring and experiencing these fantasy worlds in the safety of his own home and not actually being out there. Later on, his thrill of discovery took him in the direction of directing, being able to create these amazing worlds and creatures. Being able to tell a story of fascination and share it with the world.  He undertook the movie Titanic cause he really wanted to explore the wreck of the titantic, he proposed to the studios the movie of a modern day Romeo and Juliet and the studio took his idea. His imagination and curiosity worked together and he made it into an reality to be able to get his exploration tour funded for him to see the wreck up close and personal. He had the moments of actively, in-person being part of an adventure in an unknown world of the deep sea. Saw many different species of animals and plants that looked totally alien and spectular to be there not behind a screen, or vitually or imagining an alien planet. He learned that from working with all his crew members that it is important to be travel through life without fear.  Failure is an option but fear is not. Looking at all the art and science around us in the world, those people took a leap of faith to make imagination manifest into reality.  His advice to all thsoe he have worked with is to never put limitations on yourself, take risks. Go into unchartered territories and explore.   Just like he had explored into the deep seas and done many hours of scuba diving; one of his many dreams as a child but was not able to attain being that he lived in Canada and was far from the ocean. Stretching farthur, James will to explor more, took him to be actively participate and help out with Nasa and other space exploration groups.


Lessons Learned: Imagination manifest into Reality. Respect of your team. Advice, dont put limitations on yourself, take risks.   Failure is not an option. In art & science, it takes leap of faith.    Failure is an option but fear is not.
