Scenario:
Andy and Red are sitting outside in the prison yard talking
about what things could look like if they ever get out of Shawshank.
Selected Scene:
Red: No
Andy: They say it has no memory, that’s where I want to live the rest of my life, a warm place without no memory. Open up a little hotel right on the beach, buy some worthless old boat, fix it up new, take my guests out charter fishing.
Red: Zihuatanejo
Andy: A place like that I can use a man that knows how to get things.
Red: I don’t think I can make it on the outside, Andy. I’ve been in here most of my life, I’m an institutional man now, just like Brooks was
Andy: Well, I think you underestimate yourself
Red: I don’t think so, in here I’m the guy who can get things for you, sure but outside, all you need is the yellow pages, hell, I wouldn’t even know where to begin. Pacific Ocean, shit, ‘bout to scare me to death something that big.
Andy: Not me, I didn’t shoot my wife and I didn’t shoot her lover, whatever mistakes I made I paid for them and then some, that hotel, that boat, I don’t think that’s too much to ask.
Red: I don’t think you ought to be doing this to yourself, Andy. This is just shitty pipe dreams. I mean, Mexico is way the hell down there and you’re in here, and that’s the way it is.
Andy: Yeah, right. That’s the way it is. It’s down there and I’m in here. I guess it comes down to a simple choice really, get busy living or get busy dying.
Andy: Know
what the Mexicans say about the Pacific?
Red: No

Business Tip
Have you ever jumped
in a car and went on a road trip without planning your final destination?
If so, more than likely you needed to getaway or clear your mind and the
destination was not important, just as long as you were going somewhere. On
the other hand, when you need to get somewhere by driving, you use a
map, review alternative routes, identify gas stations and hotels, if needed.
The same is true with a career or a business. If you do not have a
documented goal or objective, it is nearly impossible to know where you are
going or how to get there. Our dreams provide us the foundation for
setting goals or our destination, it is up to us to find and create the map. Andy’s dream of opening
a charting fishing business in Mexico was the drive he needed to plan and
prepare for his escape and attain his goal. Once you have a goal of owning your
own business or becoming an executive within your current company, with the
determination to succeed, you will find yourself crawling through anything to get there!
