life's direction...

Have you watched the movie deemed the best movie in 2006? That's right. I talking about Pirates of the Caribbean 2. It was good. It was more than good. Johnny was great. I will be talking about one thing in the movie, may unintentionally spill a spoiller. But it wouldn't be a plot spoiler.

Do you remember the compass that Jack Sparrow, sorry... Captian Jack Sparrow used in the first movie? The compass that was supposedly spoilt? The compass that doesn't point north. Well in this movie, they tell us what the compass is used for. What it points to. It points to...

Some of you may want to close your eyes. Ears if someone is reading this to you. The compass points to the object that you desire the most on earth at that particular moment.

Isn't that just great? I wonder why no one thought of such an item before in all the fairy tales that were told to us. They come up with things like genies to grant 3 wishes but this, this is like making you the genie. As long as you can follow that arrow on that compass, you can find what it is that your heart most desires.

Need to decide which school to go to? Stand somewhere in the middle and watch the needle settle on the school that you REALLY want to go to. No more problems.
Can't decide where to eat? Just use the compass. It'll point you to what you're craving for.

Of course these are just "small" decisions that we could easily rely on chance. But for those more important questions. 2 women, maybe 3? A decsion that would mean you reaching your destiation and one that could cause you your life. Decisions like these. Sometimes we all need a bit of help.

Imagine if we could actually manufacture a compass such as this. Selling this would make me rich. Yes me, not Captian Jack Sparrow.

And this is how it would be marketed: A voice would ask, "Lost something valuable? Buy a compass and steer yourself onto the life that you desire!" The advertisement would show a guy coming out of the waters on a beach one hand holding the compass and he will slowly open his other hand to reveal a ring. A woman will soon run up to him, hug him and put the ring on her finger. The guy will smile a smile worthy of Brad Pitt and say, "I found my life's direction, let us help find yours!" The compass will appear and a price of US$49.99 will be stamped onto it. A sign that say FREE delivery to anywhere in the world will also be flashed across the screen. In small print that will marquee across the bottom the screen, a notice will say that every compass is only good for 3 desires. I need to ensure my future.

And on my table, the original compass will sit. Hopefully it will constantly point to itself. Because currently what I really want is a compass to point my way in life.
