Comments on: What We All Can Learn From Tom Cruise – Mission Possible http://www.larrykane.com/2006/08/22/what-we-all-can-learn-from-tom-cruise-mission-possible/ LarryKane.com Sun, 12 Dec 2010 22:25:59 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Jane http://www.larrykane.com/2006/08/22/what-we-all-can-learn-from-tom-cruise-mission-possible/comment-page-1/#comment-48 Jane Wed, 23 Aug 2006 13:03:42 +0000 http://www.larrykane.com/2006/08/22/what-we-all-can-learn-from-tom-cruise-mission-possible/#comment-48 It seems to me that the fame and flashbulbs must do something to their brains. One would think that a star such as Mr. Cruise would have learned how to deal with the world looking to him as a star and giving value what he has to say. It almost seems as though he started out handling it well and has reverted into a dull-witted, over-the-top teen star. Perhaps love is the force that has caused him to think more highly of himself than the rest of us do. Who knows. He has certainly seemed to have gone around the bend in recent months. That may also explain why he and his current 'lady' have not wed. She may be having second thoughts about sealing that deal, preferring to remain single. Of course, I have no idea how I would react given the same set of circumstances. And unitl we have walked in the shoes of those we criticize, we do not really have a leg to stand on. I have always found my mother's advice to be the best. Before you say anything, think, ponder and weigh what you want to say and how you plan to say it. Once the words are uttered, they can never be taken back. And someday, we may have to eat them, so make them sweet! Mr. Cruise would do well to heed those words before he opens his mouth the next time. It seems to me that the fame and flashbulbs must do something to their brains.

People have lost major endorsment and spokesmen deals due to a contraversy generated by their politcal comments. I work as a musician in addition to hopes of being a journalist one day. Larry, I know what you are talking about with what you said about egotists. I've encountered egotists in what I do. They're no fun to work with. I've had the pleasure of meeting a quie a few television journalists including you, Larry. It seems everybody has really interesting stories to tell. Now, I won't use names, but I think a few of you in the loop will know who I'm referring to. There's a certain local anchor who I've seen scold fellow colleages on the air. If a live feed fails, they yell "CAN YOU PLEASE TELL ME WHAT I'M DOING?" A reporter used an expletive on the air accidentally, so they said to the reporter, "I'd like to remind you that this is a G-rated family show." They introduced the weather twenty minutes later, and they commented again on the incident as they tossed to the weather anchor. This particular person is an egotist. Plus, employees at the station tell me its worse when the newscast is over. Larry, its my hope that tomorrow's journalists will follow the example you have set, on and off camera.
