The Art of Life

Life is a serious subject for everyone. What have you ever done? What do you want to do now? What will you want to be? If you answer this questions clearly, then I could tell you, That’s your life.
How can we do the best in our lives? Maybe what we need to learn is “the art of life”. According to the poem “a psalm of life” which is written by Henry W. Longfellow. I thought there are some sentences in that poem that makes a good explain for life. “Life is real! Life is earnest! Life is but an empty dream! “ I agree with this statement. I thought life is just like a play. Everyone has his own character. And he must do his best. Be a student, a driver, a father, a teacher and go on. Many kind of roles are in our lives. And roles are also important to society. Don’t underestimate yourself. You should believe that you are unique in this world. Of course, also in our life.
This poem tells us not to waste our time but to be up and doing; not to be discouraged by sufferings or failures but to have a heart for any fate; not to judge life by temporary standards but to look eternal reward.
So, if I want to still achieve, still pursue my goal. I must learn to labor and to wait. I must know what advantages and weakness about my personality I have. I like to help people if I were able to do that. I thought this is my advantages. I’m not a good leader because I don’t want to stand outside. I’m tired to study all the class in the school. So, I thought this is my drawback.
I hope that one day I can be useful in this society.
