. . .here are my thoughts.

What is the best piece of advice ever given?

What do you do if you have a 10-figure net worth and want to make a movie about your life?  Easy—write and direct a film based on your early life of writing and directing films.  Maybe toward the end you throw in a scene where you get a piece of seemingly simple, yet instrumental advice.  And, thus, we have The Fabelmans.  It may seem a bit long at 2:31, but considering Steven Spielberg’s lengthy and prodigious career, it’s really quite short.  Then again, The Fabelmans only covers up to his first year in college.  There’s a chance we could be in for quite a few sequels.  Sadly, though, there won’t be any sequels for David Lynch, who died in January.  Lynch portrayed the role of John Ford, who gave the young Spielberg-esque character the following advice: 

“When the horizon’s at the bottom, it’s interesting.  When the horizon’s at the top, it’s interesting.  When the horizon’s in the middle, it’s boring as shit.” 

Certainly not billion-dollar advice if given to me.  Yet, the talented hands of Steven Spielberg have turned it into a net worth of $5 billion … and counting.
