The Importance Of Real Life

MY DECEMBERS
We live, we enjoy, we love and that is good. That’s the real LIFE, we think. When it comes to hurdles and hassles, we forget that that’s life too. Life isn’t all about the good times and memories. Rather our living becomes life when it’s jumbled with both good and tough times. Come to think of it, would the enjoyment really matter had it been the order of the day? Therefore, sit down, enjoy the good memories you are making today, appreciate the hardships that you have to endure in your way to the search of happiness and most importantly, don’t you forget that these difficulties are what makes you different from this population of humans.
December, for instance, I have come to learn that it will always been tough. But it’s okay.

However before finger-pointing all the negatives to this memorable year let me give Ceaser what belongs to him. 2010 was quite a year; my final year in high school. You can all understand how the 8-4-4 system of education bundles on form four candidates. Thorough revision you have to do. It is in fact this time that all the dreams and ambitions start to become a reality, or they become realistic. Ask a five years child what they want to be in life; doctor, engineer and so forth would be the answer. If you are interested enough, do a follow-up and find out how these ambitions change when they are in the verge of finishing high school. Thus this was the year that I had to validate my dreams and ambitions. Despite the financial difficulties at home, my hopes were high. A medical doctor is what I wanted to become. I desperately wanted to be famous too; adolescence was the precipitating factor here. To me being famous meant that all the sexy, gorgeous, curvaceous name all the fancy words would be all over me. I was ‘thirsty’. I had to work; this was the year to have it all. …show more content…
But then, December came. I was very happy to backing home. I knew that my high school girlfriend was never serious with me right during the exams. We broke communication right at the beginning of December. I had to turn back to primary school crush. She couldn’t deny me, I was confident. My academic sharpness would see me through in this matter. But as I said, this was the beginning of my awful future Decembers. Sunday, the 26th of December was the day. I broke up with my last girlfriend option. I was very proud maybe because I went to a renowned high school. I didn’t expect any girl to play hard-to-get with me. Hence, I turned my back on my last option with the slightest sign of pride in her. I can trace my December bad fortunes to

    Have you spent your life on things that make it worth living? Are you simply existing in this life or are you living in it? Anna Quindlen in her Commencement Address at Villanova College forces us to ask ourselves these questions as she leaves long lasting imprints in the minds of the attendees and graduates. Quindlen’s use of rhetorical devices, personal stories, and quotes helps her express her main points, that one must make their life worth living and that life should never be taken for granted because there are so many things to live for.

    What I Lived For Analysis

    Dante Alighieri once said, “There is no greater sorrow than to recall a happy time when miserable.” Though not directly mentioned, the idea of the quote seems to be explored thoroughly in both “Where I Lived, and What I Lived For,” by Henry David Thoreau, and “Once More to the Lake,” by E.B. White. While both of these authors float around several thoughts including reality, advancements, and living in general, they take very different approaches to do so. In “Once More to the Lake,” White reminisces on his journey back to a place he spent many summers as a child. His essay takes the form of a narrative, with him explaining in great detail the beauty and isolation of the lake.…

    In her poem "What the Living Do," Marie Howe writes an elegiac description of loss, and of living beyond loss. She is saying that we spend so much of our lives obsessed with minute details such as “remembering to call the plumber, trying to fix the central heating or driving” that we often forget how magical it is simply to be alive. We spend our time rushing around from one errand to the next, one list of things to do to another that we forget to see the world we live in, we forget to enjoy the little things. Often, remembering someone we loved who has died, reminds us how precious life is.…

    Life is a roller coaster no one lined up to get on. It’s something you never chose, and it’s something you only have two options in: get off, or stay on. There are people who would rather jump off the roller coaster while it’s going full speed than sit the entire ride, and you have to understand that. Some people aren’t built for roller coasters; they’re built for the small kids rides. That’s…

    Wandering in Darkness, Searching for the Light Searching for the Good Life is like wandering through a maze with countless routes: both can provide a false sense of hope at every turn, both can be frustrating and both provide a great sense of fulfillment upon reaching the end. In the same way that there may be setbacks along the path out of the maze, there may also be difficulties in reaching the Good Life. Although we would like to attain the Good Life without difficulties or obstacles, Croesus and C.S. Lewis suggest we may sometimes need to endure hardships in our process of becoming happy and achieving the Good Life.…

    (7) This passage is quite confusing in structure, with the text commenting on the editor's notes and containing various languages, however it seems to have a consistent theme, that one cannot rush through life or dwell in the past but instead has to live in the moment and live life to the fullest. Throughout this single passage the text consistently refers to the greek myth of Daedalus and Icarus. The myth tells the story of a craftsman, Daedalus, and his son, Icarus, who are punished by King Minos and are locked away in a labyrinth, of Daedalus' own creation. Eventually, in an attempt to escape the labyrinth's confines, the father creates wax wings for himself and his son to yield to fly out and away from their prison.…

    It is not something that is for us to just enjoy. Rather, life is essentially a blank canvas that is waiting for us to paint. Our lives are something that we must shape ourselves, not something that we have for us. At any given point in our lives, we will have choices that we must make. They may be small ones, such as what to eat for dinner that night, or big ones such as deciding what job to pursue.…

    Life, comprised of both matter and energy, is a precious gift given to all of us. To show appreciation for life, we should all take part in the gamut of celebrations that encompasses us during our time on earth. Every moment that we spend in happiness, sorrow, victory, or defeat, brings us closer to the end of this life. We, as humans, often do not take the time to realize the circle of life. We instead focus heavily on our next experience of pleasure and happiness, willing our lives to go on forever.…
