"I find, that if I just sit down to think, the solution presents itself!"

By: Professor Henry Jones (Sean Connery in "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusdae")

Ahh... Welcome back to the movies! Indiana Jones is another 1 of my fave trilogies! Sure we've had Lara Croft along the way, but no one beats good ol' Indy, that's why there's the fourth movie that came out, although that messed up the Indy vibe a little...

And yes, Sean Connery! Other than his most famous role as James Bond, the legendary Sir Sean has also had many iconic roles, one of which is the aforementioned. There's a reason why "The Last Crusade" is a strong fan-favorite, and that's due to the wonderful Chemistry between Harrison Ford and him as father-and-son.


Oh yeah, I almost forgot, back to the WORDS! Haha! (Fanboy here, as you can see)

I couldn't find the clip on Youtube, so I guess only those of you who have seen the countless reruns on TV or who have the DVD are able to remember it. It's one of the more comical moments in the show, when the Joneses were trying to escape from the castle, but were trapped. Indy's searching frantically, but Jones Sr. just decided to plonk his rear on a chair, which turned out to be the switch to the much-needed escape route.

Sometimes we are so preoccupied with problem-solving, with firefighting, that we tend to forget the bigger things. Some of us get quite tense, and the focus is just on that problem itself that we fail to pull ourselves back and utilise other resources to fit into the picture. During NS, we call a person like this a "kan-jiong spider". For those who are wondering, that's the source of the infamous "F**k spider" that enciks always use.

In such cases, when we rush into things, and in the midst of our panic and hassle, we're just not able to think clearly, right? Logical solutions come through peaceful reasoning of the facts presented, which is NOT the situation if you're jabbing furiously on the huge red button below:


Do you tend to be more like Henry Jones Sr. or like a "kan-jiong spider"?
