Steven Spielberg


The above article is a story based on an extraordinary man in the world of films. He has ventured into genre of films and has won numerous awards for the Best Director nomination. He is none other than Mr Steven Spielberg.
Why did I choose him to be one of my favourite entrepreneurship? The reason is simply because every person who watches and understands English movies is very much familiar with his name. Everyone only knows him as an award winning director but not many are aware that he is also a famous entrepreneur.
Good movies... Ah! That’s every student’s treat after a stressful week. We look forward for the weekends so that we can catch up with all the latest movies being aired. But, do we actually take a minute and think past the screens? Like for example, how did the direction of the movie take place, how was it like writing the script, how long did it take, were there any controversies behind the movie? Not really right? Well I’m just the same, but after reading this article, it moved me as I finally know that Mr Steven Spielberg did a lot more than mere direction of a movie. Hmm... I wonder how it would be like juggling so many things at once as he even has his own media company Amblin Entertainment, DreamWorks Skg, he has done a few acting roles, and in 2005 the director signed with Electronic Arts to collaborate on three video games including an action game and an award winning puzzle game for the Wii called Boom Blox (and its 2009 sequel: Boom Blox Bash Party).
Despite being involved in so many areas at once, Steven Spielberg seems to be leading the lifestyle of every guy’s dream. Who wouldn’t want to be around pile load of movies every day and get associated with the Gaming industry. I would definitely want an interesting lifestyle as that, though there would be the occasional bumps every once in a while. For example, when his movie does not achieve the anticipated reviews or his movies does not get into blockbuster and so on. But what intrigues me is that to be a film director and an entrepreneur at the same time, he must be a very creative man. He has to often think out of the box and always exuberate amazing ideas. It’s not easy coming up with good story lines, and at the same time making sure these stories are not similar.
The art of creative thinking definitely helps a person to be a successful entrepreneur. Comparing a business person (who has always been suffocated with business dealings) to a person who has put his feet into different areas, this person is most likely to succeed compared to the businessman. Know why? Because this person is not as rigid as the business man and the knowledge he has would be very wide. A business man only sees what lies in front of him and chooses to avoid risk at all cost but an entrepreneur dives right into the risks. What more if you’re a person like Steven Spielberg with blessed creative thinking skills, you can then not go wrong.
Well, however this is how I perceive things but it may vary from individual to individual. Many would only chose one field to expertise in and feel contended in it, but definitely not me. I love to explore my abilities and strength.
