10 lessons from the Princess Bride

Hi everyone,


I just found this cool list of lessons from The Princess Bride. The Princess Bride is a funny story, and I love the quote, "Bye-bye boys.............have fun storming the castle!" It's a wonderful movie, full of action, romance and a little bit of humor. But anyway, here are the lessons learned:

10 Things I've learned from the Princess Bride:


1. It's possible, with the right strategy, to best a giant.


2. Outsmarting the one who thinks he is smartest of all is not inconceivable. Pride creates vulnerability.


3. Don't believe everything you hear. It appears people can actually survive the fire-swamp.

4. The obvious bad guy isn't always the bad guy, but a reputation can be bigger than reality.


5. Reciting your name and life's purpose with passion to everyone you meet can gain you the resources you need to reach your goal. Plus win you a few lifelong friends along the way.




6. Good fighting is as much about style as it is about skill. Add style to your skills because style is more fun to watch.


7. The six fingered man was wicked then and he's wicked now. Pay attention to track records they tell a true story.

8. There is such a thing as true love if you are willing to fight to the death for it.


9. Having a great gift for rhyme can bring levity during a difficult time... I mean it. Anybody want a peanut? A sense of humor is priceless.

10. Fairy tales are a great reminder that happy endings are possible if you believe in them. We sacrifice for those things we believe in.

I highly recommend watching The Princess Bride. It's a little bit scary, but don't worry............there's a happy ending. And think, this applies to the Christian life too, and Westley's love for his girl is like God's love for us!



For the Gospel!
