1a
Discover Personality –
Theme – be real, be yourself as
long as there is full consideration for others – meaning your behaviors and
actions are not causing harm or interfering with others
Possible story lines or
elements:
People are always assuming different
personalities at different times in their life. They act and pretend
differently when they are with their friends, workers, lovers, families,
attracting opposite sex etc.
And also their personality
evolved over time thru new career path, new lover, how their new lover
personality is affecting theirs etc.
And sometimes one is confused
in terms of who they really are since they are forced to change personality a few times a day, dealing
with different people. Much like a multiple personality disorder.
The moral of the story is be
yourself, be real and go with the flow, have fun and don’t worry too much as long as one is
clear with who he is and that he is not causing discomfort or harm to others.
Possible elements could be Goober forever
experimenting new personalities that fit him since he is adventurous and always
trying new things but forever procrastinating and committing to any decisions.
Or Scot, being a type A himself(similar to
Cartman in Spark), is always testing the limits of his aggressiveness to try to
gain competitive edge or advantage over others.
Or Roxy trying to balance her
strong masculine work image and soft, feminine dating image
Or Mica trying to balance her
zen hippie principles with cruel realities of life that forbids her from being
zen, nice.
Or Gene trying to emulate
the personality he wants to be thru his
wise advice to others but always
failing due to his flaws of complacency, drink problems or lack of time
management etc
Another element you could add is how to deal with
people with bad personality that interferes with ones privacy or harm others
with no consideration.
Could be Mica trying to deal with Scot. Or
Goober trying to avoid Roxy bossiness.
Other elements:
Too much of a perfectionist or organized
vs careless, complacent, overly optimistic Too spontaneous vs never
commiting to anything, as in Scot vs Goober
Overly helpful that it becomes
annoying, too overbearing as in Mica
Overly positive, too
optimistic vs overy paranoid, cautious,
controlling, always preparing beyond expectation as in Scot versus Roxy
MD – necessity of enough pride
for personal confidence for achievement/empowerment versus excessive pride that
evolved into negative arrogance, excessive ego.
This could be easily applied to Scot.
Celebrity: hip hop star Kayne West?
Note : What u scripted is quite
gd, except maybe we should substitute Basquait and Warhol, Harding to better
known celebrities.
1b. talents, strengths and weaknesses-
.
Theme – Know yourself-
know where your strength lies and take
advantage of it.
Admit your weakness and know
your pitfalls. Have the courage to ask
for help to complement your weakness. Position your life towards your strength
to achieve success.
MD issue- Importance and
priorities of life, the battle of (fame, power, money) versus (love of all
kinds) versus (personal growth/empowerment/going after passions) versus (zen,
totally content, complacent, lazy, whatever comes, whatever goes).
Idu believes that the generous
helping others personality, regardless of his strengths or weakness, is the
most important in bringing true happiness.
Possible Storyline and
elements:
This script should explore the MD issue fully. There are usually
4 types of people in life. We should
explore the strengths and weaknesses of each type.
The type A, Olympian-athlete
type, Scot and Roxy – in fame, money and power
The hippie, world peace, love,
helping others, Mica and Gene
The Einstein, Goober,
always experimenting new things for
personal growth/passion
And the zen maniac, content
with anything or sick of everything, like the monks in monastery.
We want to highlight the Mica,
Gene types that constantly serves and help others, always trying to better the
world types that regardless of their weaknesses and consequences, they
will be most happy and fulfilled. Overly
Loving, generous, helping as qualities, these qualities are never weaknesses.
Celebrity: someone who hates to lose, a perfectionist,
Tiger Woods?
c. life purpose –
Theme : Stay true to your life
purpose and try to connect everything u do in life to it.
Idu version in purpose of life is really idu slogan –
empower yourself, empower others, love everyone.
Possible storyline and
elements-
an expansion of the 4 stereotypes on the script in 1b. Talents S&W.
Except this time, it is broader
in terms of which purpose in life constitutes true happiness.
Explore in depth
- Fame,
money and power- is it vain and illusory? Or quite empowering if one uses
the above for good causes
- Love-
all kinds of loves – soulmate, friends, family, everyone. What is the
argument of each as life purpose? Too narrow for happiness? Too broad ?
- personal
growth/empowerment/going after passions – too self centered as purpose?
Lack of consideration for other things like love and relationships
d. zen, totally content, complacent, lazy,
whatever comes, whatever goes – people who just want a peaceful life and avoid
all pains and conflicts at all cost. A false kind of peace as purpose?!
Obviously we want to highlight
b. and c. – someone who empower himself constantly and help others with his
forever growing new talents, loving everyone thru helping.
MD32 – Understanding true
nature of zen- which is achieving peace within oneself by overcoming without
effort. Getting used to facing difficulties and challenges and overcoming them
by doing, repetition and strong will. Zen is
not avoiding problems, challenges, wrongly accepting what is as natural
evolution, hiding in the forest to be one with nature and avoid modern
conflicts.
Thus the importance of
empowerment- learning, doing, growing.
Celebrity: monks who lives in
forest to be one with nature and achieve peace to avoid modern conflicts. Or
Buddha who thinks all sufferings are part of natural evolution and should not
do anything about it. This crosses with MD number 3.
Comments on your current script
– Like I said in a previous email, there should be some event that forces the
puppets to examine their lives and state their life purpose.
Like fear of getting married or
losing their freedom that will interfere
their life, or changing jobs or having an argument with a bartender while being
drunk or witnessing an incident or a life changing event like getting an
illness etc
2 Improve –
Theme : By constantly learning, reading and DOING, one
constantly improves all aspects of the mind that helps problem solving,
creative planning, winning friends easily, strong management of time, money and
relationships and rapid achievement of goals in life.
Storyline and elements:
Goober is reading a text book on mind improvement but is
impatient in applying its techniques. Instead of practice makes perfect, he
taught he could just apply the knowledge without experience and he constantly
bump into blunders.
And every time he thought he is near perfect as he
finished his textbook, he encounter more humorous blunder which cause him to
realize to constantly improve toward perfection – a never ending process of
both learning and doing, not either.
MD issue 3 – constantly striving for perfection,
constantly improving, recognizing that the responsibility to strive for
perfection equates true freedom and free will as it creates true security.
Eliminating complacency, procrastination
and the wrong notion that imperfection as a result of natural evolution.
Being meticulous, preparing beyond expectation, swift planning and execution,
having the courage and foresight to ask for 3rd party help swiftly
to intervene in a politically stuck system are all part of perfection.
All these ties in with most aspects of mind improving –
constantly improve your intellect, creativity, knowledge, mental state and
power, to communicate effectively and work productively in teams .
Celebrity: Paris Hilton trying
to perfect her image by truly perfecting herself after her prison term. Not
just a dumb blonde image to a responsible matured business woman.
Comment : your current script
is a little too simple, maybe a little bit more complex like trying to dive or
skydive by reading a book rather than thru practicing.
2b. Body
Theme : How taking care of ones
body, looking good creates balance,
clear thinking, a relaxed spirit and
boost confidence.
Storyline/Elements:
We should take advantage of
this theme to appeal to the stay young forever, anti-aging crowd.
Yes the vitamins, eating
healthy, good exercise helps. But helping others lift your spirit and
scientifically keeps you looking young
and beautiful.
Maybe Roxy is trying everything
to look gd and beautiful thru gym, eating right but fails. In contrast Mica appears
real glowing and pretty without even trying due to her generous and helpful
nature.
MD : None. But here is a new
one. All the vegetarians think eating animals is wrong.
Could debate if fish and
shrimps(some vegetarians eat them) constitute a civilized intelligent life.
What about insects like bees and ants? What about any living organisms like a
man’s sperm in regard to stem cell research and abortion? Where do we draw the
line of what is a life and whats not? Should we have consideration for all life
form ? what about the bad ones like crocodiles and poison snakes?Do those have voting rights
too?
Celebrity: Tyra Banks
investigating to stay and look young forever – so much so that she wants to be
Oprah- because Oprah is all about
scientifically staying young by helping others. ( read my Youth/sexy article on George Clooney)
Comment: your current script is a little filmsy, playful.
Need more substance.
