I would like to share an inspiring speech in one of the scenes in a movie, "Dead Poet's Society". I have watched this movie three times. Each time I watched this movie, I would admire the courage of an English professor, John Keating, who inspired his students to love poetry and to seize the day.
It's a very inspiring movie as Professor Keating mentioned in the movie that we should constantly look at things in a different way. However, this movie may not be suitable for young kids as it deals with the suicide of one of the main character.
One of my favourite portions:
"They're not that different from you, are they? Same haircuts. Full of hormones, just like you. Invincible, just like you feel. The world is their oyster. They believe they're destined for great things, just like many of you, their eyes are full of hope, just like you. Did they wait until it was too late to make from their lives even one iota of what they were capable? Because, you see gentlemen, these boys are now fertilising daffodils. But if you listen real close, you can hear them whisper their legacy to you. Go on, lean in. Listen, you hear it? - - Carpe - - hear it? - - Carpe, carpe diem, seize the day boys, make your lives extraordinary."
Yes! We should seize the day. Carpe diem.
