It has been very long since I last posted and this time, I am inspired by a movie I have just watched. “wait till you are older”, I bought this vcd very long ago but only get to watch it now.
Many a time we see things on just one side of the coin. This is often the side that we want to see, the better side. When we are young, we just spent time doing what we want, that only benefit ourselves or what we think will benefit ourselves. Like we buy things that we think we need and don’t think about if it is really what we need or can we use the money for other better investments. We act as if we are still kids and on our own wishful thinking. We think that the whole world is not on our side and starts to rebel against everything and everyone and even let down those who care. But when we are on the path of no return, all this comes back to haunt us. All that we ever did that we regret doing.
In the show, Andy Lau as a kid thinks that his stepmother is the bad guy to his family but as he accidentally takes in this growing potion into his body, he ages quickly. He then got to know the truth behind his family. But he is too late to regret. He is at the end of his walk and just in time, he is able to bring his family together.
We can learn from this that we should never look at things from just our own perspective. We should get ourselves involve to know what is really happening and not just stand by the side and start blaming everyone for losing the game.
In the show, there is also another lesson we can learn. That is from the basketball team. Everyone is part of the team and even if he/she is not as good as the rest, we should also give them the chance. Many a times, the person is up to the job but it is the rest that makes him/her feel that she is unable. That is why we should always encourage our team member. If we put them down all the time, the one that losses is always the team. We should give everyone a chance and not start condemning and kick them one side. If we give them the chance and train them up, they will also one day grow strong. If the team is united, nothing can stand in their way. For example, YJC’s soccer team. I really think that they are very united. Using the same bag and always hanging out together and also keeping close contact with each other. This is why I think makes them such a strong team. I also hope to see the badminton team able to do so and one day become core cca.
In life, it is also the same. We should be united in all walks of life, be it in class, work, friends or even in any group. United we stand, divided we fall. Unity is all that matters.
