The Importance Of Life

Joe is so dedicated to his family that he thought he shouldn’t be punished by going to prison when he was convicted of murder. This is why he never learned the first time. In the end when Joe realizes that being a moral person is more important than family, Joe takes his life and is spiritually triumphant. He finally changed his ways of running away and hiding when the truth comes out. When Joe commits suicide, it shows that he like many other tragic heroes, he is spiritually triumphant.

Sometimes in life, growing up can in fact be difficult. We must face challenges that can sometimes be difficult to overcome, we have to persevere, and overcome the obstacles we have, however when you are born with special needs like Autism, it can be harder to overcome these obstacles. Living in the same household with my brother, Declan O’Neill, who since a young age has had to deal with Autism. Which makes things that is easy for us to do, like talking to people, and socializing, more difficult for him because he is afraid he will be judged.

He was not a man who went looking for trouble, but if trouble came looking for him or someone he loved, I would always put my money on Joe, even when he was 75 years old.

It is likely that all of us intentionally and unintentionally lie at least once daily. Past studies have provided results indicating that you could be lied to up to 200 times per day (Meyer, 2011). In a 2001 TED Talk, Pamela Meyer—author and expert on lie spotting—provided some insight on the effects of lies and some methods to identify if someone is being deceptive. In this report I will examine the two truths about lying, discuss two patterns of lie spotting, and discuss what I believe to be the biggest lie told within the last 150 years. It is important to first cover the truths about lying, or what must occur prior to a lie being effective.

Joe finds a way to escape his guilt, he takes help from Clarissa. Her existence makes him feel comfortable but he can't success it. They become closer to each other after Logan's death.

Additionally, Joe is very forgiving when others do wrong to him, which is what helps Joe recieve his better life. For example, when pip recovers from his sudden illness after the death if Magwitch, Pip pleads Joe to be angry with him on. He pleads, “‘Oh, Joe, you break my heart! Look angry at me, Joe. Strike me, Joe. Tell me of my ingratitude. Don’t be so good to me!’ For Joe had actually laid his head down on the pillow at my side, and put his arm round my neck, in his joy that I knew him. ‘Which dear old Pip, old chap,’ said Joe,‘you and me was ever friends. And when you’re well enough to go out for a ride—what larks!’”(932). This shows how Joe is highly tolerant and doesn't want to dwell on the past. He is very willing to let by gones be by gones and move on with life confidently. He may be doing this because he, himself, doesn’t want to make others suffer, like his dad used to. Proof of his warming personality is expressed when

Everyone in life has faced different obstacles, I mean when you’re brought up you learn that life isn’t a nice pleasant place. One of my favorite quotes of all time is by Sylvester Stallone who said, “Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life.” Life is defined by how you advance past these obstacles that are put in your path. Look at the successful people life such as: Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Walt Disney, Mark Cuban, etc. All of these people have experienced failure or tragedy before making millions; however, they did not let this tragedy impair their vision of success.

According to Webster's dictionary, life is "the quality that distinguishes a vital and functional being from a dead body; a principle or force that is considered to underlie the distinctive quality of animate beings."

Life is very short. In fact it might be a little too short. Everyone has dreams, and hopes. Everyone also has fears, and laziness. We all want to go places, but we all also have things that hold us back. With these factors life may be short, and it may seem that we don’t have enough time to make our dreams into a reality. We may not get to try everything that we want to try in life, and that is why whenever you get an opportunity to try something new in life you have to capitalize on it. I believe that the way to succeed in life, it is to try new things whenever you get the opportunity.

What is some things most people live life without enjoying? Most of the time, it is the small things in life. Many people go through life focusing on a big grand picture but fail to enjoy the little moments in life that make them happy for just a second or will amuse them for awhile. In my opinion if you live life worrying about what people think about you, or changing your lifestyle to fit in then you are not really enjoying life. I know this to be true because when I first moved to Heath, I was trying to fit in with people and made myself more like them rather than show them who I truly am. I realized quickly that if they didn’t like me for me then they were not the people I should hang out with. When I got into highschool, I was acting more like myself and was enjoying the little things that made me laugh or made others laugh. That ranged from being able to crack a joke sometimes to even just enjoying the music in the library and dancing a little to have some fun. I really think that no matter what we do in life there should always be some time to do things that are just fun and they don’t have to be on a big scale of events.

On the ceiling of my father’s room wall hung Albert Einstein's frame which had the inscription, “Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.” Those words greatly inspired me as a teenager. Even in the most difficult moments, those words scream in my head not to give up. I grew up at a time or period in Nigeria when the military junta overthrew the civilian government. The political environment so tensed that it drove away investors. Consequently, the political instability created crippled the economy. The only people that benefited from the military government were their cronies. During this period, the popular middle class disappeared. The gap between the rich and the poor widened. Food shortage arose because the government stopped supporting the farmers through subsidies. Thus, it resulted in the inability of the head of families to provide three square meals for the family. The food scarcity affected my family as well. There were days I would walk long distances to school without eating. Also, on some days, I turned my hunger to fasting. I constantly improvised so I would not get discouraged. In all these, my father kept telling me, “My son, this is a phase in life we all have to go through, everything will be fine.” Despite the tough hurdles I had to cross growing up, I succeeded and became a role model to other teenagers in the neighborhood because of the moral and financial support from my parents, education

“We live by hope. We do not always get all we want when we want it. But we have to believe that someday, somehow, some way,it will be better and that we can make it so.” Hubert H. Humphrey. I am a true believer that as humans we interpret things completely different from one another no matter how ¨simple¨ a phrase or something may be. I interpret this quote as tomorrow will be better. I guess you can say I am one who tends to live in the future rather than the present. I am Rajveer Sahota and this is a little insight on me.

My dad has been there for me throughout all of my endeavors. Even through the hardest of times and he stood by my side. I have been in the legal system since I was in ninth grade. It has been a difficult battle for everyone in my family. It has been especially hard for my father because of financial aid. My father has been trying to quit his job for quite some time but is enable to because he wouldn't have the benefits of insurance for six months after starting that job. We need the insurance to pay for my treatment that has been required throughout all of my probation.

It is said to never judge a book by its cover. The same should really be said in regard to the human person. Unfortunately, all too often first impression judgements are made which can fix the tone of someone's entire existence. Behind his big blue eyes and under his bleached white hair, is a mind of a man who for most of his life has dealt with struggle and turmoil in regards to being comfortable in his own skin. If only humanity could look past what is seen of someone on the outside and begin to see the deeper being under the surface, society would see much less hate.

In modern society very few people are living a meaningful life, where they are happy to live their lives on a daily basis doing something that enriches their happiness. The majority in the other hand live their lives in different ways: They live in the future for which most of their dreams and goals are set, they live in a mechanical life, or they try to understand this world to find it meaning. The way the most people live their life is not meaningful, they waste most of their time waiting for something, as a habit and they forget to enjoy their present time. Such way of living has no meaning and is not worth living.
