“Good things come to those that work their asses off.” “If you want to win the lottery, you have to earn the money to buy a ticket.” Jake Gyllenhaal stars in Nightcrawler, which touches on our generations interpretation of success. Check out the trailer here: https://youtube/watch?v=v6C8jsusAvA. In a interview with The Guardian on Nightcrawler, Gyllenhaal states, “Young people have been taught what the idea of success is,” he says. “It’s a society of ‘succeed at any cost’. When do we decide that we’ve been successful in what we’ve done? Is there ever a point where that happens? Jobs are redefining themselves and you can find work in the strangest of places. If you have empathy, then I think you know how to navigate that in a way that’s not going to hurt people, but if you’re a character like Lou, it’s dangerous. For #ABQFriday, let us know what you think about Lou - a character Gyllenhaal claims is the perfect product of our times. Share with us: is our cultural interpretation of success changing? If yes, how are these changes affecting our work ethic?
