the way of Life
by: gab david
In this world there is no such thing as certainty in life. We are here because each and everyone have its own power to do his own DESTINY. Sureness is not always permanent in this lifetime yet what we need is to have the SOLE process which is the WILLPOWER. Since from the start, each of us have already been battling to survive and to live on what we ought to be. However, still there are things in life to consider so that living is not just a mere one sided line but a cluster of different lines and dots which connects to each and everyone that draws a challenging yet exciting line and would result to an image of what we called the PERFECT life.
Because of that, everybody should undergo different changes and learning to complete the purpose of living in this world. With that people should have the following characteristics and possess each trait to live and touched others’ life. There are so many things to consider but as we grow and meet other people we slowly inculcate certain abilities which will help us to change and shape our own DESTINY. This tag line is so famous but this would be a good example if we wanted to have a great and meaningful life, “To be a good leader you should be a good follower”. Everything starts from the bottom so that when we reach the top it would be a fulfilling experience. We cannot have everything in just one click of a finger; we should possess certain abilities and try to work and live with it first before reaching the top. And those abilities are the following, be humble, be fair, be honest, be true, be a good listener, be a mentor, be an advocator, be a diplomat, be a teacher and counselor, be a critical thinker, be a influencer, be a visionary, be a strong decision maker, be a role model, be positive in every situation, be responsible, be cooperative, and the most important is have a heart in every step you take. It may be not so easy travel but as the life goes on we are all bounded with a strong shield to face all the obstacles and will never be afraid of facing what lies in our future.
In relation to the movie, entitled ANTZ, this just explains that the colony is transformed from a communistic military state that values conformity to a democratic state that values individualism. A very typical movie yet epitomizes the reality in life. Because of that this just evokes the behavioral theories of autocratic where there is a self-centered leader, General Mandible, who wanted eliminate the queen and eliminate the worker and rule the colony with an iron fist ideology . However, because we never know what lies in the future, there are other people in this world possess certain capability that can change the world. In the movie this is portrayed by Z, who is a neurotic and individualistic soul living in a society that values strength and conformity and dreams a better place where he can be truly be himself. Because of that, any evil-self-centered ideology would not always prevail in the long run. Even though we have this vision of changing the world like what General Mandible said, “Sacrifice. To some, it is just a word. To others it is a code. What matters is the colony...He's willing to live for the colony...to fight for the colony... to die for the colony”, yet still you have no HEART embedded in you there would be no unity and success in a colony. On the other hand, situational theory can also be seen in this movie, where a leader is the one who institute change when a situation was ready for a change, where Z plays a great role and represent the workers and change the life of the colony. Because he believes in his dream of having a colony that you can be yourself that made the strong possession and strive and make it into a reality.
Sometimes, we tend to be ashamed of what we wanted to be in life. We are always afraid of the change that goes along our way. We are always afraid of facing the reality and taking the risk in this lifetime. Because of that, we just end up nothing, empty, and with full of regrets in our hands. So, let this movie be a reality check for each and everyone and do be not afraid of the obstacles that are being thrown in our pathways. Yet, what we should suppose to do is to be strong enough to face it with conviction, will power, and a strong heart. In relation to this, famous tag line that Forrest Gump says, my momma always said, “Life is like a box of chocolates: you never know what you are going to get." So, let us not be just a shadow of the world but a star that brightens the life of every human being. Now, let me leave you this simple thought or saying I’ve made and it goes something like this, “living a life with full of uncertainty is like living in a box with no doors and windows.” But never forget this, LIVE your life to the FULLEST!!!
