Nikos Xanthopoulos - Sowing The Seeds of Success

Sowing The Seeds of Success

His most successful films were produced by KLAK Film, a film production company who specialized in Greek Drama of a special flavour, called μελό or σπαραξικάρδια, which used exaggerated and pompous scripts to generate tears in spectators' eyes. Film titles like: Mάνα Γιατί Με Γέννησες (Mother, why did you birth me?) and Είμαι μια δυστυχισμένη (I am a miserable girl) were a strong indicator of the kind of movies you were going to see. Those kind of movies were always a huge success and the most successful artist-actor was, you guessed it, Nikos Xanthopoulos.

    To the mooring of starting out, that day so long ago.

    Our children evaluate themselves based on the opinions we have of them. When we use harsh words, biting comments, and a sarcastic tone of voice, we plant the seeds of self-doubt in their developing minds.... Children who receive a steady diet of these types of messages end up feeling powerless, inadequate, and unimportant. They start to believe that they are bad, and that they can never do enough.
    Stephanie Martson (20th century)

    Much of the success of life depends upon keeping one’s mind open to opportunity and seizing it when it comes.
    Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)
