We need more AI Leong's in this world? Who is AI Leong you ask?
Well, in the late 80's and early 90's there was an actor who showed up in a lot of action movies. Whenever my brother and I would see this guy we knew it was going to be a good movie. We first saw him in Die Hard, then in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, and then we rented Big Trouble In Little China. Ok some of those movies don't hold up real well today, but as a kid they were most excellent.
In Hollywood there are only a handful of Big Box Office stars. The thing that I respect about AI Leong is that he was never the big draw to a film, but he still brought his best. He was never the reason anyone went to see a movie, but for my brother and I we knew it was going to be good if he showed up.
If you are a pastor there are very few Rick Warrens, Andy Stanleys, or Steven Furticks. If you are a teacher there is only one teacher of the year. If you work at a job most likely you aren't the boss. The point is don't try to outshine the superstar or even be the superstar. Be who you are, work hard, and people will notice you for what you bring to the table. If you make the most of every scene you are in eventually someone will notice your hard work.
Thanks for the reminder. Nice post and message.
