The movie "The Final Strike" tells the life story of Jacob. He was a stockbroker with a bright future. After a gathering of friends, he caused one death and many injuries in a car accident while driving home. He was sentenced to 16 months in prison. . Movies depicting the black prison are impressive because they show a world that is unimaginable by normal people, and feel curiosity and fear coexist. For example, the Hong Kong film "Prison Storm" series. When Jacob enters the prison, the first choice he faces is to be bullied crying like a newcomer, or to face the surrounding wolves and reveal the animality in your body? Jacob judged the situation and judged that the prison gang needed fresh blood with combat effectiveness, so he took the initiative to attack other prisoners and won the respect and protection of the gang in prison. In order to survive, Jacob helped his accomplices transport drugs, murder, and participated in gang fights between gangs, and finally got deeper and deeper. "We were all parents' treasures at the beginning. This kind of place forces us to either become fighters or become victims." Ten years later, Jacob was already the eldest brother. He finally got on parole, but at this time he received a higher level. Instructed by the eldest beast of the second class to complete the arms deal with the Mexican Gang after being released from prison. He wanted to return to a normal life, but the threat of "You can't get out of the organization until you die, think about your wife and children" from Boss Black made him desperate. This is also why Jacob said to the newcomer Howie he met after he was released from prison, "Your only task now is to be clean". If he could go back ten years ago, he would definitely choose to endure 16 months of hardship and finally get the chance to reunite with his family. In the financial world, there are many talents, Shawshank before, and Jacob today. Not everyone is as wise as Shawshank, able to be independent from the gang and complete the salvation of life on their own. But Jacob, who is proficient in calculation, quickly measured the strength of the beast, the safety of his wife and children, his life, and the relationship between these three. The decision he made was: kill the beast, seize his power, and protect the safety of his wife and children, at the cost of destroying his own life. On the surface, Jacob urged the completion of the arms transaction and killed the ghosts in the organization, but secretly revealed the transaction information to the police, so that all traders were taken away. He finally got his wish and returned to prison. It was not the judge who sentenced him to life imprisonment, but he chose this path voluntarily. He found the opportunity to stay with the beast, and killed the beast in the fight, always ensuring the safety of his family. Jacob, who became the ultimate boss, looked like a real boss, watching books on business management and psychology, reading his son Joshua’s letter, tears in his eyes... The list of survivals obtained in this film: 1. Don't do small probability events that are inevitably unfortunate after occurrence, such as drunk driving. Although the probability is small, once it occurs, it will inevitably lead to misfortune and may ruin a lifetime; 2. When choosing, you must add the dimension of time and the time variable belt The compound interest effect that comes has a huge impact; 3. People who are poor must read more. The boss is not a boy born and died, but a man with glasses. He is a beast that persuades Jacob to read more. It is Ya who has a pile of books on the table. Various cloths. There is nothing that cannot be solved by reading a book. If so, then read another; 4. Survival in a wolf pack depends on two things, one must have courage, and the other must have strength; 5. Abnormal Profits must be paid abnormally. There is no perfection, only knowing how to choose; 6. If you cannot escape from the organization, try to be a better-level decision-maker for the organization. People on the fourteenth floor can see the bus a few kilometers away. The people on the platform could only see the crowd crowded together in front of them.
