You know, there are some people in this world you know you cant live without.
Family, friends, lovers, and, not to mention, enemies.
But that's another story. Let's get to what I was going to talk about, shall we?
Remember Chicken Little? That little chicken - pardon the pun, it's unintentional I assure you - who was a loser in school? The one who stupidly got stuck to the road by gum, flew to the school corridor by soda, got locked in his own locker? The unpopular ridicule life made out of, the one everybody called crazy, everyone scoffed at for telling them that the sky was falling when they insisted that he got knocked out by an acorn, the one who made pants out of paper?
The same guy who was good at dodgeball?
Chicken Little, the suay little chicken.
You could remember him that way, or this;
Remember Chicken Little? That same chicken who worked really hard to hit the home run, held his friends dear, tried to be the perfect son? The one who missed his mother, sang "I am the champion" in the most horrible voice you could ever imagine? Who used soda to ring the school bell, found the orange-haired kid, got him safely home, and gave a perfectly good speech to his dad, who kissed Abby right on the lips in the auditorium?
That chicken who saved the world?
Chicken Little, the strongest chicken ever.
Which way do you want to remember someone?
I prefer the second one.
Chicken Little may seem like a stupidly childish movie, but it teaches you one of the best lessons you can ever learn.
Take some time to ask yourself what you've been doing with your life right now. You don't need an hour.
By
The
Time
You're
Done
Reading
This
Paragraph
You'd
Have
Finished
Five
Seconds.
(YAY!)
Done? Okay.
1) Oh you know, I've been working on my grades recently. Look at my report card! It's got straight As and I'm holding a 3.6 grade! I haven't delayed any homework and every day I come home early to start on homework so I can get a 4.0 GPA! I AM SUCH A MODEL STUDENT.
2) What does life mean? Give me a definition of life. And give me a definition of what do you mean by 'doing'? Does eating count? Does drinking count? Does peeing count? Does having philosophical thoughts count? Where's the definition, you dufus? PLEASE BE A LITTLE BIT MORE PHILOSOPHICAL.
3) Everyday, I live my life in misery drinking Pokka(because I'm a minor and Heineken is out of the question) and watch ants as they crawl into their ant nests and confide in the cockroaches next door. Just leave me in self denial. I'm living a happy life.
4) I've been so tired! I slept an hour last night and the night before that I slept two hours and the night before the night before I slept half and hour and a week ago I slept for a minute and thirty seconds before my alarm starting ringing! You know there's so much homework to finish?
If you had stage five cancer (like I always think I do) and you were going to die in your sleep tonight, would your last day be spent in any of those categories?
Think, everybody.
What is it that you really want? If you died tomorrow, how would you have loved to spend today?
You'd want today to be the happiest day of your life. And 1/2/3/4 is not going to take you anywhere near there.
Happiness doesn't reside in words. It resides in your heart. It's for you to find it.
Try this one:
Remember Chicken little?
The loser in school?
The one who was a happy chicken every day of his life?
