"Life doesn’t have to be perfect to be wounderful." Annette Funicello

Life is the only thing we have. It is so unbelievable and indescribable that it is considerably difficult to give a clear explanation what it means. We can say without
any doubt that our life is the best gift we have ever received but a lot of
people misunderstand it. Fortunately
or unfortunately life consists from happiness and sadness and
every day we try to create own mosaic from our thoughts, intentions and actions. Our
life is like a game and rules we make ourselves. We have an opportunity to
choose which clothes are convenient or inconvenient
for us, which food is edible or inedible,
which things are irreplaceable and
who are loyal or disloyal to us. We
can do whatever we want to do and be absolutely satisfied or discontent with one’s life. Actually
everything depends on our attitude to the world we live in.
Childhood is an unforgettable period of our life when everything seems incredible to us. We come into contact
with unknown people, use unusual things for the first time and find
out what is harmful and what is harmless. We are naturally curious to know what happened, what is
happening and what will happen. We feel cheerfulness
when we are children but what is the reason for loosing this pleasure in the
future. Maybe just because we discover that life is not perfect and the longer we
live, the more we see it to be true and try to find perfection?
In fact, our
life is not perfect. It has never been and it never will be. But this can be
good news. It means that we can stop pursuing the mystical, perfect life, stop chasing
perfect house, perfect job, perfect friends and perfect spouse. We can find
freedom to live without illusions just
to be satisfied with what we have.
A lot of
people misunderstand that having two
hands, two legs, ability to hear, see, speak it is already a reason to be
happy. There are a huge amount of disabled
people in the world who have serious problems with their health but they don’t
stop looking at the bright sight of life. They always give something new a try
and learn how to cope with difficulties that happen.
You also should be contented
that you have lovely and supporting parents who always take care of you. They
are the people who help you to make a right decision and stay with you in any
hard situation. We should respect our parents and be grateful for all they gave us. Friendship is also an important and inalienable part of our life. True friends
know everything about us and we know everything about them. Such close relationships should be appreciated because it is too difficult to find
such a person you can tell your secrets to. All these people make our life wonderful.
All in all, to reach to perfection is really hard because there are a lot of things we have
yet to learn. So, life does not have to be perfect to be wonderful, because
small things and lovely people who surround us are able to make it colourful.
What an extremely wonderful statement!!! Perfection is not certainly a guarantee of a wonderful life, excessive ideality makes our life absurd. You`re right, perfection is an illusion because nobody knows what is the highest point for being perfect. Therefore, it`s easy to be happy with everything you HAVE but not you`re dreaming about...
ОтветитьУдалитьI agree that when we were small children life seemed us so wonderful. We were over the moon all the time and nothing could make us feel devastated or gutted. We could share our innermost thoughts with our nearest and dearest and we never supressed our fellings. Unfortunately, everything has changed and we will never feel like kids again...but it doesn`t mean that we can`t live our life to its fullest because of our age!
ОтветитьУдалитьThere is so much wisdom in your words. Most people are inclined to blow everything out of all proportions and always complain about their life and forget that they should be happy simply because they have an opportunity to wake up every morning in their homes and see the faces of their nearest and dearest. Very often an insight into it comes too late.
ОтветитьУдалитьI like the thought that we don’t value the things we already have. By and large, we don’t ever get enough, we always want more and that is why most of us will never be totally fulfilled with life. I agree that we should be happy of the fact that we are healthy and have our nearest and dearest with us. It is the main reason for us to be ecstatic. I think we just need to simplify our attitude to life and become less demanding.
ОтветитьУдалитьI totally agree with Annette Funicello, who once said that life doesn't have to be perfect to be wonderful and I do like your personal train of thought. To be honest, it might be hard to find a person who would be always in high spirits. Very often people forget to have pleasure of the smallest things in life. For instance, they neglect their parents, they have no esteem for friendship and they are not devoted enough to their children. From my point of view, the value of our lives depends on our own outlook and actions. If we are buoyant, we are more likely to get a deep sense of fulfilment that can certainly make our lives worthwhile!
ОтветитьУдалитьP.S. You used so many suffixes, prefixes and roots in your post! Good job! You helped me revise stacks of words that we learned on the classes of Vocabular English and even learn some new ones. By the way, the pronunciation of the word “inalienable” drives me mad :D
This quotation shows a lot of sense of our lives. "Life doesn’t have to be perfect to be wounderful." it means that problems and troubles always present in our lives. But despite on it we need to have values and principles. Also to have a wonderful life we shouldn`t forget about small things which are basis in our lives.
