EASTWOOD

Few people achieve in their work a new way of doing things. Usually they follow the trail of those who have successfully preceded us, to continue the journey. Like every kid, I loved to play cowboys and Indians, embodied by actors that have marked an era, the Westerns heroes imposing their law, galloping with the blow of a gun and rifle. Among them there was one that always caught my attention. His strength, far from depending on what weapons he had, all was resided in his eyes, in his way in acting and in that false coldness. Clinton Eastwood Jr. was born in San Francisco, California and has just celebrated his 80th birthday, being in top form. He did not have a comfortable beginning and before he began acting in films, he had to work as a lumberjack, bricklayer, pianist, forest firefighter, etc. We all know his films, awards and success he has achieved in his life. But besides the economic and fame treasured by Clint Eastwood, he is a great example of a man seeking to improve and be consistent with himself. Throughout his career being an actor, director, producer, screenwriter, and musician he has gone from being a star of action, to give action to the human feelings and thus showing us the real hero he is, being of flesh and bone, everything done with an amazing genius. As he often says "in life you can not lose time, we must fight for what you love. If you find it, success is guaranteed." There are certain people who, having begun their career in a particular way, overcoming fears and probably driven by new concerns, gives a twist to their career and begins to explore other unknown territories. Clint Eastwood is one of those examples, in which to discover, does not matter the age or circumstances or difficulties. Life is divided into two kinds of people, those who watch and those who do. I bet on the second. You just have to, above all, believe in yourself.
