I have just finished watching the above film. I would recommend it to you.
It is a wonderful film in which Robin Williams is a University teacher, advocating that students should see things in this life from a different perspective to others.
This is probably what my teacher meant when he told my grandmother;
“Your grandson marches to the beat of a different drum.”
But the very same teacher, although he always watched me like a hawk, never failed to give me top marks for my compositions. 
To see things differently from others.
To strive to reach the unreachable star. That should be the goal of every student.
No-one says it will be easy, but it is achievable.
Many have came to this Forum as beginners in the English language, and have left as proficient speakers, and more importantly, thinkers.
