I really like the line "Failure is an option, fear is not." It's something that has been said by many of the most successful people throughout history. How often do we limit ourselves by dismissing something as out of our reach without ever trying?

never saw the countdown clock before

Fail


Your greatest success in life will never amount to a tiny fraction of his fail.

I'm sure you didn't mean it as such, but I'm taking this as a compliment.
Financial success does not equal success is my book, and if I can avoid his FAIL by even a fraction, my life will have been a major success.

Yes, you can talk about how you avoided such pitfalls and your humble lack of lack of ability as a child the next time you do your own TED talk.

And the statement still holds true even if you completely ignore his financial successes.

Also, how amazingly humble of you to completely dismiss another's achievements and hold yourself superior. Ironic.

Oh please spare me. Are you suggesting that his diatribe about his childhood was about his "humble lack of ability?" Sounded like aggrandizement to me. And which part of his "success," aside from financial, are you referring to? His FOUR (4) failed marriages? His reputation for being temperamental, selfish, and cruel to his colleagues?

I do not hold myself superior in the slightest. He's a different guy with different struggles than I, so there's no comparison. But I do find his glaring egotism a little hard to take. Not to mention the blatantly hypocritical nature of his films (anti-tech content in hyper-tech productions),

But, you know, if you want to be all up on Cameron's jock, then, well that's your prerogative. As I'm sure you'll agree, there's no accounting for taste.

No, I'm saying *you* have nothing to brag about in your childhood. He does.

And please spare me with your rehash of Cameron's well known list of flaws. Many people have great flaws. Steve Jobs is well known to be aggressive and tempermental. Einstein beat his wife. The Beatles compared themselves to Jesus. Personal flaws have no relevance to their accomplishments.

And you're asking about Cameron's successes? Are you fucking kidding me? Do I have to list for you which films of his won which Oscars, or which are preserved in the Library of Congress? Do I have to explain to you his impact and influence on the film industry, or underwater exploration, or why he is on the NASA advisory council? Are you really that blinded by your own bias or are you just plain ignorant?

And who the hell said we have to like the guy? How immature are you that you still don't understand that respect and admiration are not the same thing? "up on Cameron's jock" - you sound like you should be posting about xboxes on 4chan. Dismissing his achievements because you hate his attitude is just childish and pathetic.
