I LOVE MY LIFE. Each one of these words are so simple to say on their own, yet when you put them together it can transform into the hardest statement for someone to speak. "I love my life" and I do. I go to sleep with the hope of waking up to another tomorrow and making my way into the beautiful unknown called life.
Because that's exactly what life is.... The Big Unknown. No matter how much I plan, life will always take me by surprise. It will throw me a day where I can see the beauty in everything that I touch, everything that I see, yet in a matter of a moment I can look at the world like I'm looking through a shattered glass, broken and unrecognizable.
However, I go and I do what this body has been made to do, live. I breathe in the air around me and it no longer becomes air to my lungs but it becomes hope for my heart. Hope that despite my mistakes, my misfortunes, and my disappointments that I can rise above it and stand firm upon who I was meant to be.
And dare to dream! Dream as though you have no tomorrow, but live as though you have a hundred years! Life is something that you should fall in love with. Something that causes you to look into the mirror, stare at the reflection and say "I love you". Yes, the days that come and feel like a tidal wave on your soul are the times where we no longer want anything to do with life, especially if the waves never cease and we become so use to the motion that we forget that storms eventually come to an end. The clouds will part and the sun will break through straight to your heart, where you just might find that little place where you feel something you almost forgot about....
Joy, love, peace. So many things that remind you how good life can be.
It's like a man coming up to you and placing some change into your hand and without looking to see how much, you put it into your pocket. Would you think anything about it? Besides the idea of a strange man handing us some change, it wouldn't phase us. However, while you were walking away from the man, you turn around to hear him say "that change represents the years of your life and how much you have left." Suddenly that change in our pocket becomes the most precious gift that we have.
I say the simple words "I love my life" and I do because it's full of everything that I have ever and will ever know. I say these words to express how important life is because it's the longest thing that you will ever do, so start doing it the best way that you can.
The movie starts out in the present day (well, present day in
the dark ages of the 1990s). A guy named Brock Lovett (Bill Paxton) is heading
up a crew of people searching for some kind of treasure in the wreck of the
legendary Titanic. During one of the dives, he thinks
he's found it, hauling a safe up to his boat and making a big ceremony out of
opening it…
However,
when he opens the safe, there's nothing inside. Lovett and the crew are bummed
out, of course, but they do find a drawing of
a woman apparently wearing what he's looking for: a very large diamond (and
nothing else: yowza).
Lovett
ends up on the news talking about his hunt for the diamond and the discovery of
the drawing. An old woman sees him and gives him a call—because she's
the woman in that drawing.
Not
everyone in Lovett's crew is convinced the old woman is telling the truth, but
they fly her out and on to the ship—presumably in case she knows where the
diamond ended up after the sinking. Once she's all aboard, she settles in and
tells them the story of her trip on the Titanic…
While
the audience sees young Rose getting dragged onto Titanic, a guy named Jack
is playing in a poker game—and tickets to get on the Titanicare in the pot. He
wins the game on a full house, and so he and his friend Fabrizio have to rush
to make it in time—but they get on board.
It
turns out that the Swedish dudes who lost the poker game ended up winning…their
lives.
Rose and Jack meet when Jack comes upon Rose trying to work up
the nerve to throw herself off the back of the ship. Yes, that's how
miserable she is. He succeeds in convincing her to come back over the railing,
but she slips in the process. Jack hauls her back on board, landing on top of
her—and of course, this is when other people come upon them and entirely
misunderstand the situation.
A
crowd gathers that includes the crew, Cal, and Lovejoy, and Rose is (of course)
reluctant to explain what she was actually doing. However, as the crew prepares
to detain Jack for trying to assault her, she manages to come up with a story
about how she leaned too far overboard staring at the propellers, and Jack
saved her.
As
a result of all this, Cal ends up inviting Jack to dinner with them as a thank
you. Lovejoy, however, doesn't seem convinced that Jack is the big hero
everyone is making him out to be. In fact, he seems to have taken an immediate
dislike to the boy.
And
hey, fair enough, since Jack quickly ends up stealing Rose's heart away from
Lovejoy's boss. He takes Rose dancing down below deck with the other steerage
passengers, draws her nude in her suite (resulting in the drawing that Lovett
finds many years later), and then they end up getting frisky in the cargo hold,
in the backseat of a car (proving that people have been sexing in the backseats
of cars since cars with backseats were invented).
When
Cal realizes what's happening, he's super unimpressed.
Meanwhile,
as all this love drama is going on, Titanic is having her
own woes. In an effort to make a big "splash," the ship's
powers-that-be had agreed to speed the ship up and reach New York earlier than
expected. That would have been super impressive...
However,
that extra speed makes it a lot harder to spot icebergs in time to do anything
about them, and so Titanic ends up
smacking into one. Unfortunately, that creates enough damage that the ship's
builder, Mr. Andrews (Victor Garber), realizes that Titanic is definitely
going to sink in an hour or two, despite the crew's best efforts to save her.
Evacuation
efforts kick into gear, but they're pretty disorganized and favor the richer
passengers. Lots of the steerage passengers end up locked below deck as the
water flows up through the bottom of the ship, and the crew loads lifeboats
pretty sparsely—wouldn't want to overcrowd the posh folks, after all.
As
the boat sinks further and further, and it becomes clear that most people
aren't going to make it into a boat, panic sets in. Despite her indiscretions
with Jack, Cal makes an effort to get Rose and leave with her.
Rose
and Jack don't make it onto lifeboats, and so they go down with the
ship—literally. However, they manage to avoid drowning, and they find a door
that Rose can float on (apparently, it can't withstand both of their weights).
They wait for some of the lifeboats to come back for them once the sucking
motion of Titanic's sinking dies down, but that takes a
lot longer than expected.
When
a lifeboat finally comes back to look for survivors, it appears that most
people have frozen to death in the water. Rose is still alive, but apparently a
little delirious, and she becomes extremely agitated when she realizes that
Jack has frozen to death in the water beside her. She appears almost ready to
give up, but then she remembers that she made him a promise to keep going no
matter what—"I'll never let go, Jack!"—and so she manages to get the
attention of the lifeboat that returned.
When
she makes it to New York on the boat that picked up survivors, she gives her
name as Rose Dawson as a tribute to her lost love.
Back
in the present, Rose's story seems to have made an impact everyone listening,
even Lovett, who had previously just treated the Titanic as an
opportunity to look for treasure rather than a tragic story of human loss. He
seems ready to abandon the search for the Heart of the Ocean.
Which
is ironic because—surprise—it turns out the diamond is actually on board with
them? Rose has had it all this time, since Cal stuck it in the pocket of a coat
he gave to her to keep her warm during the sinking. After telling her whole
story to Lovett and company, she sneaks out of her cabin in the middle of the
night and drops the diamond off the side of Lovett's boat.
The
movie ends with Rose apparently dying in her sleep, surrounded by photos of the
adventures she had after the Titanic trip, and
being reunited with Jack (and other dead Titanic passengers)
in the afterlife.
The novel begins as our
narrator, Clay Jensen, mails a mysterious package to someone named Jenny. We
soon learn that the package contains the audiotaped suicide note of Hannah
Baker, a girl Clay had a crush on before she killed herself about two weeks ago.
This is going to be a doozy, Shmoopers.
In the package, there are a total of seven
cassette tapes and thirteen stories. On the first tape, Hannah tells her
listeners that she holds each of them responsible in some way for her death,
and that the tapes will explain why. After listening, each person must give the
tapes to the next person on the list. She says that if anybody fails to pass
them along, a copy of the recordings will be made public. The tapes also come
with a map that listeners are meant to physically follow as they listen to her
story.
The narrative moves back and forth between
Hannah's and Clay's thoughts and actions. This is hard to portray in a short
summary, so remember that Clay's thoughts are always mixed in with Hannah's
stories. (Basically, go read it: it's a really interesting, challenging, and
pretty brilliant structure.)
The thirteen stories (i.e., the "reasons
why") are as follows: (1) Justin Foley, Hannah's first kiss, started
rumors that they did more than just kiss. (2) Alex Standall pitted Hannah and
Jessica Davis against each other by voting Hannah "Best Ass of the
Freshman Class." (3) Jessica Davis was upset by this and ended up hitting
Hannah, leaving a scar on her forehead. (4) Tyler Down allegedly took pictures
of Hannah through her window (she calls him a Peeping Tom). (5) Courtney
Crimson, a super fake girl at school, started rumors that Hannah had sex toys
in her bedroom.
As he's listening to Courtney's tape, Clay
gets on the city bus and runs into his middle school crush, Skye Miller. He
starts to wonder why Skye always isolates herself from everybody. They exchange
a few words and then Clay gets off the bus, outside of Tyler Down's house.
There, he runs into Marcus Cooley, who invites Clay to throw a rock at Tyler's
window (which is already broken). He learns that Marcus is also on the tapes,
so he must be guilty of something, too.
Back to the tapes: (6) After getting matched
up with Hannah through a Valentine's Day survey, Marcus tried to make a move on
her in a booth at Rosie's Diner. She had to push him out of the booth and onto
the floor to get him to stop.
Still listening, Clay heads toward Rosie's
(next stop on the map); on his way he sees the Crestmont Theater, where he and
Hannah worked the previous summer. He got the job to be close to her, but he
always let the rumors about her stand in the way of telling her how he felt.
More recordings: (7) When Hannah ignored Zach
Dempsey's attempts to comfort her after the incident with Marcus, Zach stole
the notes of encouragement left for Hannah by classmates in her Peer
Communications class. (8) Hannah met Ryan Shaver in a poetry class and really
trusted him; that is, until he stole a very personal poem of Hannah's and
published it, leading to more ridicule for Hannah.
Clay leaves Rosie's and finds his friend Tony
waiting for him in the parking lot. Tony tells him that he is the one who has
the second set of tapes, the ones that will be released to the public if Clay's
tapes aren't passed on according to Hannah's wishes. Clay is full of questions,
but Tony refuses to answer anything until Clay listens to the next recording.
So, the tapes: (9) The ninth tape features
Clay and assures him that he had nothing to do with Hannah's suicide. He was
actually really good to Hannah; he even confessed his feelings to her and they
kissed! (10) Justin Foley, from the first tape, is back on the recordings. This
time, Justin allowed Bryce Walker to rape Jessica while she was unconscious.
At this point, Tony explains that on the day
of Hannah's death, he found the tapes waiting for him when he got home from
school. When he realized what Hannah was up to, he called her parents to try to
warn them, but he was too late. Since then, he's been following the people on
the list making sure they follow Hannah's instructions.
One last dive into the tapes: (11) After a
party, Jenny Kurtz offered Hannah a ride home, but knocked down a stop sign
with her car. Jenny refused to report the incident, and shortly after, there
was a fatal accident at the stop sign. (12) One night, Bryce Walker started to
touch Hannah in a hot tub, and he proceeded to rape her. (13) Mr. Porter,
Hannah's guidance counselor, didn't take her seriously when she said she was
suicidal, and he let her leave his office without getting her any help.
The novel ends with Clay going to school the
next day after mailing the tapes to Jenny. When he gets there, he sees Skye
Miller, the girl from the bus. He walks toward her, saying her name.
Farhan Qureshi (R. Madhavan), Raju Rastogi (Sharman Joshi), and
Rancchoddas "Rancho" Shyamaldas Chanchad (Aamir Khan) are three
engineering students who share a room in a hostel at the Imperial College of
Engineering, one of the best colleges in India. While Farhan and Raju are
average students from modest backgrounds, Rancho is from a rich family. Farhan
wants to become a wildlife photographer, but has joined engineering college to
fulfil his father's wish. Raju on the other hand wants to uplift his family
fortunes. Rancho is a wealthy genius who studies for the sheer joy of it.
However, Rancho's passion is for knowledge and taking apart and building
machines rather than the conventional obsession of the other students with exam
ranks. With his different approach Rancho incurs the wrath of dean of college,
Professor Viru Sahastrabudhhe (ViruS) (Boman Irani). Rancho irritates his
lecturers by giving creative and unorthodox answers, and confronts ViruS after
fellow student Joy Lobo hangs himself in his dormitory room. Joy had requested
an extension on his major project on compassionate groundshis father had
suffered a strokebut ViruS refused, saying that he himself was completely
unmoved by his own son's accidental death after being hit by a train. Rancho
denounces the rat race, dog-eat-dog, mindless rote learning mentality of the
institution, blaming it for Lobo's death.
Rancho
is the rebel among them always questioning things and believing that learning
is more than just the usual mode of education.
He
encourages his friends to look beyond the ordinary and soon earns the wrath of
the college director Viru Sahasrabuddhe (Boman Irani).
Despite
his fun and frolic, Rancho always surprises everyone by topping the class. He
even manages to win the affections of the director's daughter Pia (Kareena
Kapoor). But Rancho's greatest contribution lies is making his friends realise
their true calling.
This isn't a bad film, though. By which I mean it conjures up a few moments, it
will doubtless make some people cry, and every now and then we glimpse some
heart. Yet it hurts to see that this is traditional Bollywood masala schlock,
with scenes calculated to tickle and to evoke sympathy. It's not awful at all,
but since when did 'not bad' become good? Dr Feelgood doesn't make the cut this
time, and we need to measure him by the high bar his previous excellence has
set -- by which degree this is a whopper of a disappointment.
The
twist comes when on Graduation Day. After being awarded the Student Of The Year
title, Rancho mysteriously disappears into oblivion.
Years
later, Farhan and Raju, finding a common thread, embark on a journey to find
their friend. 3 Idiots is a story of friendship, hope, aspirations and most
importantly, the goodness of life.
With
3 Idiots, Rajkumar Hirani proves beyond doubt that there's no better storyteller
than him in the present generation.
Like
the peppy Aal Izz Well song drawing towards a tragic climax it's so cleverly
done that it has the desired effect. There are scenes that'll make you laugh,
they'll make you cry and they'll make you think.
Hirani
does it all so beautifully that you want to go back to college and relive all
those moments.
The
falling in love, the harassment by professors, the secret drinking sessions,
the ragging of fellow students it's all there.
Hirani
also sends across a message on student pressures but there's no preaching here
it's all done in his inimitable style.
Most
films have their own set of 'highlight' scenes.
3
Idiots is different because every scene is special and brings with it something
that's out of the ordinary.
But there are a few that have a far lasting impact the entire ragging sequence;
the camaraderie between Rancho and Pia; Chatur's (the 'brainy' student)
hilarious speech; the entire black-and-white depiction of Raju's family; most
of the scenes between Rancho and Viru; the sequences that lead to Raju's
recovery in the hospital and many more. After a point, you just stop counting.
Dialogues are snappy and totally effective ("In India, you get a pizza in
30 minutes guaranteed but not an ambulance"). The soundtrack, background
score and cinematography is top class.
In the
streets of Verona another brawl breaks out between the servants of the feuding
noble families of Capulet and Montague. Benvolio, a Montague, tries to stop the
fighting, but is himself embroiled when the rash Capulet, Tybalt, arrives on
the scene. After citizens outraged by the constant violence beat back the
warring factions, Prince Escalus, the ruler of Verona, attempts to prevent any
further conflicts between the families by decreeing death for any individual
who disturbs the peace in the future.
Romeo,
the son of Montague, runs into his cousin Benvolio, who had earlier seen Romeo
moping in a grove of sycamores. After some prodding by Benvolio, Romeo confides
that he is in love with Rosaline, a woman who does not return his affections.
Benvolio counsels him to forget this woman and find another, more beautiful
one, but Romeo remains despondent.
Meanwhile, Paris, a kinsman of
the Prince, seeks Juliet’s
hand in marriage. Her father Capulet, though happy at the match, asks Paris to
wait two years, since Juliet is not yet even fourteen. Capulet dispatches a
servant with a list of people to invite to a masquerade and feast he
traditionally holds. He invites Paris to the feast, hoping that Paris will
begin to win Juliet’s heart.
Romeo and Benvolio, still
discussing Rosaline, encounter the Capulet servant bearing the list of
invitations. Benvolio suggests that they attend, since that will allow Romeo to
compare his beloved to other beautiful women of Verona. Romeo agrees to go with
Benvolio to the feast, but only because Rosaline, whose name he reads on the
list, will be there.
In Capulet’s household, young
Juliet talks with her mother, Lady Capulet, and her nurse about the possibility
of marrying Paris. Juliet has not yet considered marriage, but agrees to look
at Paris during the feast to see if she thinks she could fall in
love with him.
The feast begins. A melancholy
Romeo follows Benvolio and their witty friend Mercutio to
Capulet’s house. Once inside, Romeo sees Juliet from a distance and instantly
falls in love with her; he forgets about Rosaline completely. As Romeo watches
Juliet, entranced, a young Capulet, Tybalt, recognizes him, and is enraged that
a Montague would sneak into a Capulet feast. He prepares to attack, but Capulet
holds him back. Soon, Romeo speaks to Juliet, and the two experience a profound
attraction. They kiss, not even knowing each other’s names. When he finds out
from Juliet’s nurse that she is the daughter of Capulet—his family’s enemy—he
becomes distraught. When Juliet learns that the young man she has just kissed
is the son of Montague, she grows equally upset.
As Mercutio and Benvolio leave
the Capulet estate, Romeo leaps over the orchard wall into the garden, unable
to leave Juliet behind. From his hiding place, he sees Juliet in a window above
the orchard and hears her speak his name. He calls out to her, and they
exchange vows of love.
Romeo hurries to see his friend
and confessor Friar Lawrence,
who, though shocked at the sudden turn of Romeo’s heart, agrees to marry the
young lovers in secret since he sees in their love the possibility of ending
the age-old feud between Capulet and Montague. The following day, Romeo and
Juliet meet at Friar Lawrence’s cell and are married. The Nurse, who is privy
to the secret, procures a ladder, which Romeo will use to climb into Juliet’s
window for their wedding night.
The next day, Benvolio and
Mercutio encounter Tybalt—Juliet’s cousin—who, still enraged that Romeo
attended Capulet’s feast, has challenged Romeo to a duel. Romeo appears. Now
Tybalt’s kinsman by marriage, Romeo begs the Capulet to hold off the duel until
he understands why Romeo does not want to fight. Disgusted with this plea for
peace, Mercutio says that he will fight Tybalt himself. The two begin to duel.
Romeo tries to stop them by leaping between the combatants. Tybalt stabs
Mercutio under Romeo’s arm, and Mercutio dies. Romeo, in a rage, kills Tybalt.
Romeo flees from the scene. Soon after, the Prince declares him forever
banished from Verona for his crime. Friar Lawrence arranges for Romeo to spend
his wedding night with Juliet before he has to leave for Mantua the following
morning.
In her room, Juliet awaits the
arrival of her new husband. The Nurse enters, and, after some confusion, tells
Juliet that Romeo has killed Tybalt. Distraught, Juliet suddenly finds herself
married to a man who has killed her kinsman. But she resettles herself, and
realizes that her duty belongs with her love: to Romeo.
Romeo sneaks into Juliet’s room
that night, and at last they consummate their marriage and their love. Morning
comes, and the lovers bid farewell, unsure when they will see each other again.
Juliet learns that her father, affected by the recent events, now intends for
her to marry Paris in just three days. Unsure of how to proceed—unable to
reveal to her parents that she is married to Romeo, but unwilling to marry
Paris now that she is Romeo’s wife—Juliet asks her nurse for advice. She counsels
Juliet to proceed as if Romeo were dead and to marry Paris, who is a better
match anyway. Disgusted with the Nurse’s disloyalty, Juliet disregards her
advice and hurries to Friar Lawrence. He concocts a plan to reunite Juliet with
Romeo in Mantua. The night before her wedding to Paris, Juliet must drink a
potion that will make her appear to be dead. After she is laid to rest in the
family’s crypt, the Friar and Romeo will secretly retrieve her, and she will be
free to live with Romeo, away from their parents’ feuding.
Juliet returns home to discover
the wedding has been moved ahead one day, and she is to be married tomorrow.
That night, Juliet drinks the potion, and the Nurse discovers her, apparently
dead, the next morning. The Capulets grieve, and Juliet is entombed according
to plan. But Friar Lawrence’s message explaining the plan to Romeo never
reaches Mantua. Its bearer, Friar John, gets confined to a quarantined house.
Romeo hears only that Juliet is dead.
Romeo learns only of Juliet’s
death and decides to kill himself rather than live without her. He buys a vial
of poison from a reluctant Apothecary, then speeds back to Verona to take his
own life at Juliet’s tomb. Outside the Capulet crypt, Romeo comes upon Paris,
who is scattering flowers on Juliet’s grave. They fight, and Romeo kills Paris.
He enters the tomb, sees Juliet’s inanimate body, drinks the poison, and dies
by her side. Just then, Friar Lawrence enters and realizes that Romeo has
killed Paris and himself. At the same time, Juliet awakes. Friar Lawrence hears
the coming of the watch. When Juliet refuses to leave with him, he flees alone.
Juliet sees her beloved Romeo and realizes he has killed himself with poison.
She kisses his poisoned lips, and when that does not kill her, buries his dagger
in her chest, falling dead upon his body.
The watch arrives, followed
closely by the Prince, the Capulets, and Montague. Montague declares that Lady
Montague has died of grief over Romeo’s exile. Seeing their children’s bodies,
Capulet and Montague agree to end their long-standing feud and to raise gold
statues of their children side-by-side in a newly peaceful Verona.
Crushes are a wonderful thing. Everyone responds to them in
the same way with this childlike sense of excitement and wonder. You can be and still feel a smile develop when you’re listening to “I Wanna Hold Your
Hand” because you get it and it gets you. I don’t know you that well,
which is kind of great because it allows me to run wild with my imagination.
Maybe you’re the kind of person who likes to nibble on earlobes or cut the
crust off their sandwiches or maybe you’re actually a raging jerk who’s selfish
in bed. I really have no idea. I like not knowing. It lets me create a pretty
picture of you and I having picnics, kissing under streetlights, getting
tangled in bed on a Sunday afternoon, getting stoned and listening to records
when it’s raining, and going grocery shopping for juice and sundried tomato
spread. All of these things are possible in my head. You could be this person.
So I don’t think I’m going to do anything about it. I think I’m just going to
let it be. I’m going to keep you as my dream person and not have reality ruin
anything. Don’t think of this as a sad thing. You’ll be the crush who will
never be able to crush me.
My father is one of the most important and respected people in my life.
He made a big impact not only on me, but on our entire family. He is my
hero and the pillar that keeps our family strong. My father is very
special to me. He is the one person who loves me at all times. Even when he
scolds me I know it is in my best interest that he does that. So I do not
grudge his scolding. I always sincerely try to follow what my father tells me
to do. When I obey my father I am happy and meet with a great deal of success.
Your father is like your true friend. You always receive so much love and affection
from him. He looks after you and cares for you like no other. Your father will
always be strict with you because he wants the best for you. It is because he
loves you that he wants you to be a good person with all the good values and
high morals. You share a very special bond with your father. Try to reciprocate
the love he has for you. You can never repay a father for all that he does for
you but you can definitely show your love and care for him.
My Mother is my angel not only because what she offers me and
gives back to me but to other people too, she is a great wife, mother and
friend. All the qualities she has as a person I hope one day and I can have the
same and just be like her. My mother makes me feel like the most important
person in the world, because I know she would do anything for me in heartbeat
if I was in need or hurt. Words cannot even express the love I have for her,
and how blessed I am to have such an amazing mother. She has always taught me
to love myself and to be proud of who I am. My mother has always said that you
should do whatever makes you happy and be the best person you can. She is my
angel for more than just a few reasons. She has been by my side for 19 years
now and I know there are many more to come. Nothing will ever compare how much
she has impacted my life. I wouldn’t be the woman I am today without her.
Some of the content is not originally my created but there are a few words that I have been tried to create and publish. I may not a good writer but I did try my best to create a simple and understandable one. I am an avid reader of wattpad. I love to read some inspirational and motivational books. Partly my hobby is reading a book and I get inspired for those author who are really good in writing their stories. "Reading is Power"
I LOVE MY LIFE. Each one of these words are so simple to say on their own, yet when you put them together it can transform into the hardest statement for someone to speak. "I love my life" and I do. I go to sleep with the hope of waking up to another tomorrow and making my way into the beautiful unknown called life.
