The Last Lecture - 짧은 생각 하나

작성자Haru|작성시간08.09.25|조회수69 목록 댓글 2

  I've just started reading the book, "The Last Lecture", and I can't tell when I can finish it. But I already got

some moving sentences I'd like to put my treasure list on.

"An injured lion wants to know if he can still roar. It's about dignity and self-esteem,

which isn't quite the same as vanity." (p. 8)

"Many people might expect the talk to be about dying. But it had to be about living." (p. 9)

"He encouraged creativity just by smiling at you. He loved to watch the spark of enthusiasm

turn into fireworks. And he understood me and my need to express myself in unconventional

ways." (p. 27)

 "Have something to bring to the table, because that will make you more welcome." (p. 33)

  This book somehow reminded me of my own childhood dreams. What dreams did I have as a girl? Have I

got My Wishes now, even partially? Or, had I ever dreamed My Dreams?

 

  The writer said, "Whatever my accomplishments, all of the things I loved were rooted in the dreams and

goals I had as a child... and in the ways I had managed to fulfill almost all of them. (p. 10)"   For some

reasons, however, I could hardly dream my dreams. Though I had a few, they stay far from who I am now.

Does it mean my life was meaningless? Nobody can say that. I don't think the writer's words just means

a dream has its meaning when it comes true.

   A dream is a dream. It has just the good possibility of being reality and we just try to fulfill it with our

passion. A person who is dreaming his own dream seems to always sparkle everywhere whether he achieves

 it or not.

   I wonder whether I could dream my old dreams again.


P.S. Forgive my poor English writing. Just wanted to improve how to express my thought in English. Hope you'll enjoy my writing.
