Set aside, if you will, Indiana Jones and Raiders of the Lost Ark. This parley, my dear Reader, is not a cinematic pursuit; rather it is by far more pragmatic and strictly – dare I say almost punishingly – educational.
Raiders of the Lost Ark is a 1981 American action-adventure film directed by Steven Spielberg from a screenplay by Lawrence Kasdan, based on a story by George Lucas and Philip Kaufman. Set in 1936, the film stars Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones, a globetrotting archaeologist vying with Nazi German forces to recover the long-lost Ark of the Covenant which is said to make an army invincible.
As vitally as you may be inclined to believe that there is or that there is not a secret to being rich – and, be assured, there is – first one must address an even more potent discussion; namely, what is your objective in life? The priority of that dialogue subsists because, depending on the decision, all else flows therefrom. Foremost it encourages starting at the beginning not somewhere in the middle.
