Things Slumdog Millionaire taught me

I watched Slumdog Millionaire yesterday. I love that movie. It was the first time my Dad ever saw it and he seemed indifferent but he's about as romantic as a ham sandwich and as culturally aware as one too. After watching that movie I wanted to go to the slums and volunteer there and he's freaked out by the idea. He keep saying things like "There's people down the street that need help." I'm sure that's true but I think India is where I'm called. Also, someone told me that missionary work is blooming own there. That only increased my want to help them and my belief that I should. If I ever get the money for something like that I'm going to do it.

So I realized that Slumdog Millionaire taught me a lot of important stuff and some not so important stuff. This is what the non-important stuff was:

1. Benjamin Franklin is on the $100.00 bill
2. A lot of people don't know who the third musketeer (I've read the book twice and it surprised me how many people don't know)
3. When you have to take your shoes off in a public place put them in your purse.
4. Keep your purse in your lap when sitting down somewhere.
5. You are not a stalker if you really care about the girl (Edward and Jamal :D)
6. People in India have celebrity worship also!

Some of the more important stuff, some I already knew but the movie still teaches it:

1. Never give up
2. Never give up on somebody
3. People can be raised in the same situation and turn out different based on how they handle things
4. Nothing is ever hopeless unless you make it that way
5. Sometimes it's just meant to be
6. I finally found which global crisis I want to get involved in
7. Love conquers all
