RE: SC-S31/W1-Movie Magic | Movie About Choices (Titanic)
This post is very beautiful and thought provoking which best describes important life decisions through the movie Titanic. You present the captain's decision as an important lesson in how overconfidence and the desire for quick success can lead a person to ignore risks, which ultimately leads to harm. Your writing is not only simple and clear, but also reflects deep thought, especially the message that caution and wisdom are essential in life.
Thanks for the comment and taking your time to reflect. Overconfidence really played out here. Even lifeboats on the ship were not even enough because the Titanic was overly hyped as unsinkable. Then the decision taken to speed up really changed their fate. Let's imagine, the ship was moving at that speed before the decision was taken to speed up. Maybe, the force at which the ship crashed with the iceberg, the impact wouldn't have been that much.
Another error here was that the two guys in the crow's nest had no binoculars with them, which made them not to see far. If they had one, they would have seen the iceberg on time.
