The video that i chose is called “Match Point” by Jain Mali Joseph Films

This film is not only just about badminton, but it also shows how hard work can beat talent and how doing good things will lead to good things given too you. There are 3 things that really gave meaning, how the boy who was poor and couldn’t afford to play badminton and the kids who had money both had interest in badminton, but the kids who played took their opportunity to play, slowly lost interest and did not give it their all, but once the poor kid was given a chance to play he wanted to get better and always tried his best even though he was not good at the start. The second thing that really had an impact was when the coach defended the poor boy from the arrogant rich kid, and was scolded in the process. Although that had happened to coach still was willing to train the boy and provide funds for him to play. The last event that really had me touched was when the rich kid and the poor kid both grew up and were playing each other in the tournament and the poor boy purposely let the rich boy win in order to protect his coach from more abuse and taunts from the rich kids parents and friends, then the rich boy said that he was no longer playing and gave up his spot for the poor boy and the coach. This film was overall a very well directed film, with good screening and a good sense of story.

“There is no problem being weak, but staying weak is where there is a problem”

The quote I chose was one that my mom told me. She said, “that there was no problem in being weak, the problem is staying weak.” This speaks to me a lot since not all people are born gifted with talents, and most people are born normal, with no special attributes, nothing special. Some would work harder in order to not stay normal and develop passions and special talents. The people who do this become successful in their future. The people who remain normal and do nothing to change and develop will most likely not become successful when they grow up. This quote also works in with school. When we progress to a new grade, and our first report card is not to our standards, we can either change and get better or we stay in the same state we are in. The results are a vast difference. Overall this quote is one that sticks with me and most likely will stay with me for the rest of my life.

This picture that I happened to stumble upon a few years back really has an impact on me, since it shows our world in its current state many people want to follow others, and all want to go in the passage way of life that seems the easiest. These people taking the path on the left will most likely end up as common people and will have to work hard for money, and their happiness will be scarce, but the one person on the right are the people who become successful, will have happiness and will have an easier time in getting through life. These people, even though they may have an idea that seemed ridiculous, they stuck to their gut and decided to go that path anyway, will most likely become successful and enjoy life to the fullest. This picture shows our world today and has a big impact on my life.
