5 Life Lessons that I Learnt from "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" (Spoilers Ahead!)
1) United we stand, Divided we fall. Teamwork is absolutely important.
The Turtles are all uniquely skilled and talented. Together, they are truly powerful as a team. Individually, they are vulnerable, as can be seen from Shredder's easy victory over Raphael.
2) If you are truly hungry to succeed in your passion, you will have the courage to do whatever it takes.
April O'Neal is passionate about her journalism career and is willing to brave dangers of secretly photographing the 'vigilantes' and the Footclan, to obtain a news-worthy story to cover. When we are passionate about something, our desire for success in it is greater than our fear of failure.
3) If you see an evil-looking 'good' guy in a movie and you think he's actually a villain-in-disguise, you're probably right!
I couldn't resist putting this as one of the 5 Life Lessons! The moment Eric Sacks made his first appearance on-screen, I knew he was a villain. They need to select more kind and nice looking actors to make it less obvious!
4) Evil demands submission by instilling fear. Good leaders produce obedience through love.
Shredder planned to rule New York through fear and domination. In contrast, Master Splinter earned the love and respect of the Turtles through raising them up and training them to become warriors. Fear only produces obedience out of the lack of choice, but love produces long-term loyalty.
5) Preparation is absolutely vital in overcoming your enemies and achieve victory.
It is only after many years of honing their fighting skills that Master Splinter and the Turtles were able to be a match for Shredder. Victory belongs to those who are prepared to receive it. Malcolm Gladwell shares in his book, "Outliers", that 10,000 hours of practice will make you an expert in a particular field.
