A Brave Wolf
A Movie Review of the movie “The Wolf of Wall Street” by Allen Christopher S. Cervantes
Belfort Leads!
Does this scene look familiar to you? It should because this is one of the best lines that Jordan Belfort said when he was starting out to be a leader. Jordan Belfort is a man of talent and bravery because he earned about 3 million dollars per week, and he does it illegally! And on top of that, he became a star to many people because of the large amount of money he hoards everyday. He is a wolf, a brave wolf that would hunt down his prey in any way possible just to get him on top of the food chain. Plus, his talent in communication lets him do his work very well. He smooth talks every client with his incredible tongue and always gets away with it even though what he gives to the client is unfair.
The Way of the Wolf
Jordan Belfort is a man that was taken over by greed, money, and pleasure. He wanted to do everything he can in order for him to get what he wants, which was the large amount of money he always wanted. But he should not be tolerated because of the ways on how he got his money. Here are five traits that a great leader should have:
1. Passion - You should have the will and energy to do what you need to do. Remember that a leader’s job will never stop.
2. Mental end Emotional Toughness - A great leader should have a very strong mental and emotional capacity to withstand everything the world has to throw at him. Because if a leader breaks down, his men will fall like a house of cards.
3. Trusting your Guts - One should have the guts to trust in what he does in order for him to be successful because what will you produce if you don’t trust yourself? And remember that what you’re doing should affect everything and everyone around you.
4. Decision Wise - Even the greatest leaders should make the best decisions in order for them to rise up the ranks. One should learn how to make good decisions so that minimal mistakes can be achieved.
5. Flexibility - What is a leader if he doesn’t know how to adapt in every situation? A leader should know what to do in every circumstance so that they will win every battle.
Molding the Future
Now you know what a leader should be in order for him to be the best. If you are given an opportunity to be one of the greatest business holders in the future, what would you do? Now, if I was given a great opportunity to hold such a place, the first thing I want to do is know who I am. What are the things that I can do? What are the things that I must change in order for many people to accept me? How will I get the people that I need without letting them feel like they are taken for granted? And if I completed step one, step two will be applying the things I learned about myself to what I want to do for a living. And it is not just for what I do for a living, it should be applied to everything that I do so that I would turn out to be a righteous man and a great leader to everyone. And last, I will always have fun on what I am doing because I am the one who chose this life in the first place. And always remember, a great leader doesn’t have the option to quit and stop.
And to sum it all up, strive to be the best while serving your people with the way they deserve it. Jordan Belfort is and was a great leader but he could be a righteous one if be was fair and just to those who agreed to be with him. Yes, earning money as much as Jordan had can be alright, but the way he got his money can never be close to good and that should be a lesson to everyone who know who Belfort is. Treat people with kindness.
