Have no fear of perfection- you’ll never reach it! Salvador Dalí

We all make mistakes from time to time, don’t we? But of course! We are all humans after all. Sometimes the mistakes we make are not too significant, some other times they are pretty serious but the good thing is that we always learn from our mistakes, don’t we? Well, there are, of course, those who think they can do nothing wrong and those who never do anything and therefore, never make mistakes! But for me, I am willing to make mistakes if someone else is willing to learn from them.


Today we are going to put all our attention on film mistakes. The film industry is a huge industry and everybody working there has a role to fulfil, from filmmakers to production crews and many more. What is more, there is usually a lot of money involved in making a film. However, film mistakes are there for everybody to see.

Have you ever thought how much work goes behind the scenes in order to make a film as realistic and authentic as possible? Unfortunately, no matter how hard people working in the film industry try, mistakes which they should have noticed always manage to turn up. Even worse, when the film is released, there are people who actually make a point of looking for these mistakes. Are you one of these?

Spot these mistakes by watching this video.

 

Domestic Violence Awareness Week

General

I could have let it pass as I’ve done with other Whatsoever Awareness Days but this one in particular strikes a personal chord .

Did you know that females are at risk of violence in some countries from the beginning of their lives  … (trafficking,honour killings, genital mutilation,sexual exploitation, rape )… just because they are women? 

Some facts to consider: 

It kills more women than cancer
It affects 1 in 3 women worldwide
15 million women will be assaulted by their husbands this year
It leaves women mentally scared for life
In 60% of the homes where a woman is abused , so are the children
                                                                                        

Remember:  Apologies and promises will not end the violence

                          Abuse is not a loss of control… it is a means of control

 This video may be a bit too much if you are a very sensitive person… but this is usually the way it starts… so if you’re suffering anything like this , find  help!!
