Eagle Eye - How Far Do You Have to Be Pushed?

Filed Under (Tips) by admin on 03-02-2010

Eagle Eye is a very interesting movie which is eerily similar to Skynet from Terminator. At its core it’s a smart computer gone wrong.

It recruits 2 characters from regular walks of life into its evil scheme.

It’s based on monitoring all internet activity, forming personality profiles, and then leveraging their weaknesses from social media profiles against them. Sounds kind of like the world we live in now doesn’t it?

The skynet parallels are easy to see. The question which came to my mind was how far would you go when given the proper leverage?

I remember a Derren Brown show where he brought in a group of regular people and wanted to see how he could motivate them to rob an armored car. You can see the full 48 minute video here and it is fascinating.

Of course, with great power comes great responsibility so use these tactics for good. Don’t abuse people.

In the movie Eagle Eye there’s a “rob an armored car” scene and these 2 regular people are clueless on how to do it.

It had many similarities to Live Free or Die Hard also because everything is now hooked into the net, there are traffic cams and video seemingly everywhere, and Billy Bob Thornton plays the law enforcement hero with a young anti hero in Shia Lebouf.

Maybe it’s an Orwellian type warning on how dependent and locked in we are with computers and technology.

So the big question I have for you is how far do you have to be pushed before you’ll become extraordinary?

It’s within you residing inside you right now.

You can even use these fundamental tried and true psychological and sales techniques on yourself get the results you want and deserve in your life.

And I highly recommend it because once you know how the mind functions on a basic level it’s like having your own personal owner’s manual for your mind.

As you probably know but in case you don’t the mind is your most valuable tool in your entire arsenal. Ask any millionaire or billionaire and they’ll confirm for you the mind is your most valuable tool.

I know this post didn’t have any specific tactics to help you grow your business or seemingly make more money. But it really did.

Because when you get a handle on your own mind and give the specific techniques on how to get the most out of yourself and your own creativity then the world opens up before you.

Tell me in the comments how far you’d have to be pushed to maximize your potential? What would it take for you to achieve all you desired?
