NOTE

Give yourself a private College Degree

Confidence precedes achievements. It's the belief that comes before ability. Cameron became a filmmaker while working as a truck driver. He taught himself filmmaking by photocopying and studying dissertations on optical printing and visual effects. He basically gave himself a college education in cinematography while driving a truck. The idea for the Terminator and Aliens came to him in dreams. Cameron has a rich dream life and even has his own private streaming service in his dreams. Avatar also originally came to Cameron while he was asleep.
