Words, magical things that transport you to magical lands, they evoke emotions, they bring you on adventures. Books are like places that we can seek solace in, to just forget about everything that is happening around you and just get swallowed into realms where vampires and werewolves exist, think twilight, or dragons and urgals, think Eragon. Or even just learning about life itself, how people act around each other, relationships, friendships, blood ties. How people care for their loved ones, how in stories we can actually learn valuable lessons that relate to life. A book may seem a friend when you're lonely, when you have no one to talk to, the characters in a book may "talk" to you.
Think songs, how people pour their hearts and souls into every single word in the lyrics, every single note in a melody. How a song documents one's trials and tribulations in life, or happy memories or even happy feelings. Have you ever felt how a song can help you cheer up on a sad day? How it would help you vent your anger just by listening to it? Have you ever felt that there was more to a song than just words and melody, maybe how it was sang, or who it was sung by? It would be unusual if the beatles played heavy metal wouldn't it? Songs do sometimes evoke feelings, happiness, sadness or even anger. Songs add colour to everything we do, could you imagine life without songs? Wouldn't that be boring.
Words, little words of encouragement, from teachers, friends and even family always helps us to persevere. How would it feel if, for example, you failed a test, but your parents tell you that its alright, to do your best next time? It makes you feel good huh. Or maybe you've always wanted to ride a bike, but you keep falling down. Wouldn't it make you feel better when someone tells you you're doing great, and to keep on going?
Songs really do show the emotions of the singer,
Isn't it touching? To see a person sing his heart out to show how much he loves his wife?
Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me. Think again.
I believe all things happen for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go. Things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they go right. You believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimesgood things fall apart, so that better things can fall together. ~Marilyn Monroe
How true this is. How will one learn happiness if they have never been sad before? How does one know of hunger when they have 3 meals a day, since they were born? Its important to stay optimistic about everything, its not always everyday that we will win the lottery, but picking finding some loose change is also not a bad thing! Instead of grumbling about how you've never found a 50 dollar on the floor how about thinking about all the times you've picked up a dollar. Picking a dollar up 50 times gives you 50 dollars!
I see it perfectly; there are two possible situations - one can either do this or that. My honest opinion and my friendly advice is this: do it or do not do it - you will regret both. ~Soren Kierkgaard
Regret, as Kelsey Grammer said, comes too late. Remember that every choice you've made, you made because of the circumstances, and no matter what the circumstances were, que sera sera. It's no use crying over spilt milk! For instance, telling someone you like them, two choices, to or not to. You'd probably regret your actions only when he/she turns you down, and you would probably regret telling the person the truth. But think about it, wouldn't you regret not telling the person you like him/her?
For the playful souls out there, its not all about studying, neither is it all about playing. Its about creating a balance between both. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. All play and no work makes Jack a mere toy. It probably is tempting to go out and play, to have a good day out, to go watch a movie, go to the arcade, or even sit in front of the computer and play games for 12 hours, but it probably gets boring after a while. Inject a little fun into your work, make it a little game, have fun doing it! What we're best at doing are the things that we love doing the most.
The world's not only about us, do your best to help others. I believe what goes around really does come around, sooner or later.
Ending Off with a really nice quote by Mark Twain,
Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. ~Mark Twain
