READING: The "Secret" & "Stanislavski - An Actor Prepares"

I'm a strong believer for people to build on their strengths and connect with people beyond the geographic and forge strong ties. With the greatness of the internet, anyone can be found - anyone and if you aspire to be a great person then one wise tip is to find ways to connect with those who have paved the way.

Currently, I've have dabbled in reading two books that have been mailed to me, all the way from Melbourne through film colleague Somchay Phakomkhman. I met Somchay through another Melbourne-base entrenpreneur and creative head - Michael Le Tran who works in the realm of events and Asian beauty pageants. Back then, we did a pilot teaser project - "4 Aces", amongst others.

Anyhow, Somchay continues to lead his film crew "You Cake! Productions" and has tapped into his own desires of becoming, one day, a proud Asian-Australian director. We've been chatting and writing about books, ideas and inspirations the past 6 months and he's definitely instilled a competitive edge within me to get a move on and get skilled up in acting and directing (the latter I haven't yet figured if I want to do, but with acting, I do enjoy the challenge).

So this has lead to his first chess move and hence, sending me my first reading materials - The Secret & Stanislavski. Tomorrow, I'm sending him a pre-loved copy of my favorite book so far (bought in Hong Kong at "The Flow") "The Celestine Prophecy" and love to hear his thoughts on this one.
