Quote:To summarize, the Forrest Gump formula for success is simple: be frugal, focus on the task at hand, attempt to help others, and be enterprising, if you can.

Quote:You may recall the movie Forrest Gump in which the title character, played by Tom Hanks, was a simple person who happened to have a ringside seat on many of the major events in American history in the 1950s through the 1970s. Forrest may have had a low IQ, but he was extraordinarily successful – All American football player at Alabama, Medal of Honor winner in Viet Nam, successful entrepreneur and loving father. This made for a very entertaining movie, but the fanciful brushes with history obscure the key point about Forrest. Based on recent readings, I now believe that the key point of the movie is that Forrest is successful because he embodies the core virtues and values of western civilization.
