James Cameron
As a big film fan its just interesting to watch JC's
speak but I think this a really good inspirational talk!
He grew up on a steady diet of science fiction. In highschool he took a bus to school an hour each way everyday. And he was always absorbed in a sciencefiction book, which took his mind to other worlds, this insatiable sense of curiosity that he had. When he wasn't in school, JC was out in the woods, hiking and taking frogs, snakes and bugs and pond water, and bringing it back, looking them under the microscope. He was a real sciencegeek! But it was all about trying to understand the world, understand the limits of possibility!
And his love of science fiction actually seemed tomirrored in the world around him.
I think that he was a popular boy at school but maybe some children think that he was too obsessed with science and science fiction. I suppose that i would like had such a friend when i were at school. Because he said that he was endlessly gettingbusted in math class doodling behind the textbook, so did i. He reminds me of myself )) But maybe not, because he was a weird boy, who was always reading science fiction books!
JC said that in the late 60s they were going to the moon, they were exploring the deep oceans. There were many TV programms which showed them animals and places that they could never really had previously imagined.The time at which a person lives we always has a great influence on him. Today i feel it. For example at the 11th grade our teacher asked us if we had a computer at home. Everybody said yes.Nowadays you needn't to find information at books. You can just surch it by the internet!
Two activities were very important for young Cameron - drawing and diving. He had to create different images in his head. As kids having to read a book, and through the author's description put something on the movie screen in their heads. And so, his response to this was to paint, to draw alien creatures, alien worlds, robots, spaceships.
He decided to become a scuba diver at the age of 15. He had spent about 3,000 hours underwater. And he had learned that that deep ocean environment are so rich with amazing life that really is beyond our imagination. His love affair with the ocean is ongoing, and just as strong as it ever was.
A good few key points he said at the end were that in whatever field you work in ‘curiosity is the most important asset you own’ ’don’t put limitations on yourself, other people will do that for you’ and ‘failure is an option, fear is not’…
Thanks Mr. Cameron!
