This is the Champion mentality . Shawshank Redemption (1994) . 1

Everything i’ve got i made it myself . With NO HELP , from anyone .Since my childhood i wanted to become something above the average that surrounded me .

I wanted to reach my limits and follow my inside flame which “burned” me and never leaving me “alone” . And i ‘ve made it !!! .

I finished school with very good grades although i come from a poor family and later i continued to the college years . I liked the finance area and i choosed that path . Things went smooth .

I was doing well , i even had a small job as an assistant to the local bank , which helped me to finish my college and have a little fun as a college boy .

After my graduation and my first summer holidays as a complete educated person in the financial area ( which gave me mental peace and liberation pushing away the endless stress of my youth ) , it was the time to start searching for my first bank job .

Using my previous experience from my college – assistant years i manage to enter to the local bank .The salary was only enough for my survival and a cup of coffee , but i didn’t care .

I knew that working hard and using my talents , i could do great things .

As it happened . Only after of two years , i was transfered to the central of the bank , with many more responsibilities , and much bigger bank acount . YES my friends , I HAVE MADE IT !! .

How happy i was . I married my gorgeous wife , i leaved in a 3 floor XXXL house , i had a mercedes , i HAD EVERYTHING (?) .

And that exact time , the big stroke happened . A stroke which stole my life and destroyed me completely ( at least , so they thought and wanted ) .

Betrayal , Conspiracy and theGATES of HELL” were just fell on my life . My wife and her lover did their best , so i would be accused of misappropriation money from the bank i worked . And i must tell they did a very good job !!!!!!!!!! .

The finance crime facts were very strong against me , the fabrication was planned very well . In a couple of days , i made my “entrance” into the hardest and worst jails in the country .

JESUS CHRIST , what is this place ? Will i survive or this is my last moments ?

I should tell you my friends , that as a person i am not the biggest and strongest guy , you can find . As a matter of fact i look like more than a “nerd” with fat glasses , than a person who can fight with his bare hands and defend himself .

These guys in here are like wild “beasts” , full of muscles and testosterone .

Can i survive in here , using only my MENTAL and HEART POWERS ? I can feel on me , their eyesights “stabing” me full of hatred and anger .

I was different physically from them and they don’t like it . I am like the “fly in the milk” , a fact which will cause me many problems i am sure .

Some of them are different , they look at me with sympathy and i can recognize their good feelings for me . Maybe these guys will be my future jail – friends , some “normal” people , i can talk to .

During my first days in prison , i recieved my first “visits” from the “boys” .

They dropped down my food-disk “asking” for a fight , they burn my bed’s blanket ( for the same reason ) . They are pushing me randomly everywhere , everytime ( for the same reason again ) and as long as , i didn’t enter a jail – gang to be protected , i was feeling like “Miss America” !!!! .

And you can imagine my friends , how popular (!!) “Miss America ” may feel in a prison full of erotic convicts .

For my eyes only many gang members visited me in the prison showers , wanted to express their “true sympathy and love emotions ( !!!! ) for me . I refused to give in , of course .

These guys after my refusal , they beated me for a while and after some bruises , they were losing their erotic “apetite” and usually gone . Except the members of one gang , who wanted to express their sexuality in me so badly and they didn’t accept NO as an answer .

With them every time in the showers , was like a 12 round boxing match with “IRON” MIKE TYSON . But i didn’t care . The months were passing , and the jail – routine wasn’t so scary as it was the first weeks .

I have made some good – hearted friends who , for a bad moment in their lifes , they made a temper crime and ruined their lifes . That was the time , i’ve decided that , i MUST ESCAPE FOR MY PRISON . My education skills began to be visible by the prisoner commander , a man so corrupted as “hell” .

The same and worst were they employees . He’s systematically stealing from the jail money and he hide his swag in some secret bank accounts . Every knight he writes his “earnings” in a secret book and closed it in a safe box .

After a while and because of my bank experience (and my humble attitude , which many people confuses it with defeatism !!!!! ) , he has given me the “job” of updating his secret book , every knight .

During my day “job” , i started to dig a hole in my prison wall with a small hammer and throw away , the dirt every day through my pockets , during our daily prison break . But the best part of my plan wasn’t this .

I created a fantastic person , with all his legal papers made by me , using the commanders stamps and stuff . I opened for him a bank account . In this bank account , i put some money from the commander’s for my new life after my escape .

But i also wanted to give justice and made the corrupt commander pay , for his brutality against the prisoners and his arrogant manners .

So i found a book the same as the commanders secret book , to leave it to the safe box my last prison – night and send the original to the police . Everything went as planned . A rainy night , i crawled through the hole in the wall i’ve made , i crossed some water tubes and the job was done .

I am FREE !!!!! .

The next day i went to the bank , as the fantastic person i’ve created , i took my half a million dollars and give the bank employee , the secret logistic book and stuff i’ve collected fot the “dirty” prison commander , to post them to the police .

How i wish i was there and see his face , when the commander will discover my escape tunel , behind my RITA HAYWORTH wallpaper and his missing logistic book .

If you want to “ESCAPE” , from your personal prison ( poverty , depression and inner problems , unsupported or bad family relatives , any kind of society “hits” , half – finished dreams , violence in any form against you ) , take a look the 1994’s :

*** SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION , with Tim Robbins ( his best performance according to many ) and Morgan Freeman .
***See what the power of mind , heart and attitude can do and smile a little , as ANDY DUFRENCE did eventually .
