A few years ago I attended the very popular Jewish Film Festival in San Diego. I watched two incredible movies about the same topic.
The first one was titled "All My Loved Ones." The film was inspired by the real-life experiences of English stockbroker, Nicholas Winton, who rescued 669 Czech children from the Holocaust in 1939. This was a warm and poignant movie that focused on a happy Jewish family in pre-war Bohemia. The father is an eternal optimist who believes that honesty, decency, and tolerance will prevail in the face of the Nazi threat. As grim reality sets in, he sends his son, who is destined to be the family's sole survivor, on one of Winton's kindertransports to freedom in England.
The second film, entitled "Nicholas Winton: The Power of Good," was actually a documentary about this incredible man and his amazing gift to mankind. This warm and inspiring film explores the life of Mr. Winton, the man who inspired the award-winning film "All My Loved Ones." This documentary used archival footage and touching interviews with "Winton" survivors.
The major impact of these films was to show us that one person can truly make a difference in the lives of others and potentially change the course of history. After the War, Nicholas Winton did not publicize his efforts in saving 669 children. The only reason the world was learning about this incredible human being is that his wife found an old scrapbook in the attic of their home. In it were the names of all the children he saved along with pictures of many of them.
Now in his 90's and in great spirits, Mr. Winton lives in England and has been honored by Kings and Queens. He was not wealthy in 1938. He did not have many connections. He was not a super human. He simply saw a need to do something and he did it with urgency. The descendants of the 669 children Nicholas Winton saved now number over 5,000.
How much more could each of us accomplish if we simply identified something that was important to us and went after it with passion?
So, here's the daily affirmation for this column:
I have identified something important to me and I'm going after it with passion! If you want to improve in this area, say that affirmation the first thing each morning and the last thing each night for at least 30 days and watch the magic that will happen.
