Yes, I watched yet another cartoon movie... "Kung Fu Panda"... and had stitch from laughing too hard and on reflection received many management jewels.
"The secret is that there is no secret... if you would only believe, it will come true"
This statement sums up the show. A FAT panda bear who could hardly see his toes became the unlikely kung fu master who was suppose to stop a powerful master "Tai Lung" from destroying the village out of vengence. The "secret" lay in the dragon scroll that could only be read by a kung fu expert is anointed by the Master Wu Gui (tortoise). Through a series of twists and turns in events, Panda bear "Po" became the candidate.
The dragon scroll turns out to be an empty scroll with a reflective layer that allows the reader to his own image. Panda bear "Po" was disappointed to find the scroll to contain no secret for him to fight the deadly Tai Lung. He later learnt how to dicipher the empty scroll from his father who is a noodle shop owner waiting to pass on his "secret recipe" to Po. His father whispered to Po that "the secret is that there is no secret...the soup taste good because people believe it to contain the secret recipe and hence must be good." Po realised that if he believed that the dragon scroll to be special it will in fact give him special power to defeat Tai Lung... and he did.
Can you think of other situations where the secret is there is no secret... and if we would only believe that something can be done, it can be done.
No wonder, there is such wisdom in the words of my ex-principal from RJC "The mind is a terrible thing to waste" that it was plastered all over the school. Our potential and limitations are limited by what we believe what we can or cannot do.
