Sharing glimpses of one of my favorite character's from Kung Fu Panda movie (2008) - Master Ooway!
1. What an amazing perspective!
Oogway: There are no accidents.
2. The importance of a Mentor in our lives!
Shifu: Illusion?
Oogway: Yes. [Points at peach tree] Look at this tree, Shifu. I cannot make it blossom when it suits me, nor make it bear fruit before its time.
Shifu: But there are things we can control. [Kicks the tree so that peaches fall] I can control when the fruit will fall! [He slices a peach and throws the seed in a pit] I can control where to plant the seed! That is no illusion, Master!
Oogway: Ah, yes. But no matter what you do, that seed will grow to be a peach tree. You may wish for an apple or an orange, but you will get a peach.
Shifu: But a peach cannot defeat Tai Lung!
Oogway: [Folding mud over the peach pit] May be it can, if you are willing to guide it, to nurture it, to believe in it!
Shifu: But how? How? I need your help, Master!
Oogway: No, you just need to believe. Promise me, Shifu. Promise me you will believe.
Shifu: I... I will try.
3. To help someone begins from understanding them first!
Oogway: [Walking towards Po] Ah! I see that you have found the Sacred Peach Tree of Heavenly Wisdom!
Po: [Po turns around with a lot of peaches stuffed in his mouth.] Is that what this is? I am so sorry! I just thought it was a regular peach tree!
Oogway: I understand. You eat when you are upset.
Po: Upset? I am not upset. Why, what makes you think I am upset?
Oogway: So why are you upset?
Po: [Sighs] I probably sucked more today than anybody in the history of Kung Fu. In the history of China. In the History of sucking! ... May be I should just quit and go back to making noodles.
Oogway: Quit, don't quit. Noodles, don't noodles. You are too concerned about what was and what will be. There is a saying - "Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today, is a gift. That is why it is called 'The Present'.
4. News V/s Good or Bad.
Shifu: Master! I have... Its very bad news!
Oogway: Ah, Shifu! There is just news. There is no good or bad.
Shifu: Master, your vision. Your vision was right! Tai-Lung has broken out of prison. He is on his way!
Oogway: [Pause] That IS bad news!
5. Truth be told! (One of my favorites from this movie!)
Oogway: One often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it.
