Confession of a Student *chapter 7*

Assignment:
Jut down five important lines from the film we watched today: Tuesdays with Morrie; and tell us how those affect your life.

I just want to share my answers on this assignment in Philosophy, I have already read the book whom the author is Mitch Albom before I got to see the movie (like most of us did). The message of the story tells the book more than the movie itself. *baka kasi hindi na bumalik saken tong papel ko, just in case, ilalagay ko na lang dito sa blog ko yung sagot*

“The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in.”
- This is a certainty or a reality over life. In my case or as for everyone also, love is something that you can share and receive without any means. I treasure the people around me especially my family and friends. I share my love and give them most of what I can offer for closeness, understanding, and also learn to love one another. Although sometimes pain replace love, that doesn’t stop me from loving. I can give my love to anyone forgetting if they could give them back to me, but as long as I receive it from others, I don’t need to expect to return the love to the one I have given mine.

*haha… I don’t think grammar effectiveness would work here…x_x *

“But the big things – how we think, what we value – those you must choose yourself. You can’t let anyone – or any society – determine those for you.”
- Decision is one factor that colors life. As what one of the posts on my blog says and what I believe in – the one you want is what worth doing. I grew with my decisions and learn wanting what I have. In my opinion, knowing what you want will build your own self; finding a way to achieve those will teach you behind what you want; and reaching what you want will give you satisfaction, contentment, and happiness – this will push you through wanting again. And at the end of the day, you’ll find yourself holding your goals without even recognizing it, instead feeling it.

“Neither money nor power will give you the feeling you’re looking for, no matter how much of them you have.”
- Money and power are just part of you goals and are not really bring you happiness. I didn’t have both yet or should I say even if I have those two, I make myself pretty stupid thinking those satisfy me or bring me the feeling what I am looking for, but the truth I know its not.

“Death ends a life, not a relationship.”
- When my grandmother died, her life ended, but the fact that we still call her ‘lola’ shows the relationship is still alive. As long as we care, we remember, and her memories reside our hearts, the relationship is still there.

“Don’t let go too soon, but don’t hang on too long.”
- Pursuing give me patience, trust and confidence but too much of it without having anything in return taught me to change the way I see things and turn to the direction I wanted to, or the direction that I think would give or teach me more than I know. I’m a kind of person who’ll struggle for what I want up to the last second if this is worth doing, but I am too the person who knows how and when to stop into some things – that is the time I should turn to another direction.

I have read Emerson's work, and it's pretty cool ... ^_~ yung saken parang wala lang.. hehehe...
