When life throws a challenge at us...the way we react to it...essentially decides the course of our life!! One incidence can so totally change us ... and our life.
If this is a truth that we cannot control life... then this is even bigger a truth that... the way we react to the situation is so totally in our control..!
When a bad situation is thrust on us... we can give up and crib... and accept our failure... but on the other hand we can decide to fight back... and though there is no guarantee that we would come out victorious... but at least then we would have tried and given a decent opposition... and u never know ...we might as well win :)
I watched this comedy “Legally Blonde (2001)”, and I was amazed at the concept behind it. This movie is special for its simplicity. It conveys the intended message of taking up life’s challenge and wining but without any preaching. There is an uncomplicated storyline but still manages to depict the enormity of the challenge posed.
The story is of a blonde sorority queen, Elle, who is dumped by her boyfriend. Her boyfriend is joining Harvard Law School and he believes that intellectually she is not good enough for him. Elle, then, decides to follow him to the law school to get him back. Not only does she make to the most prestigious Harvard Law School, but also learns that she is too good for him and that he is the one who does not deserve her :)!!
To beautifully summarize, I cite Student Address by the Elle Woods -
On our very first day at Harvard, a very wise Professor quoted Aristotle: "The law is reason free from passion." Well, no offense to Aristotle, but in my three years at Harvard I have come to find that passion is a key ingredient to the study and practice of law -- and of life. It is with passion, courage of conviction, and strong sense of self that we take our next steps into the world, remembering that first impressions are not always correct. You must always have faith in people. And most importantly, you must always have faith in yourself.

This thing got my adrenaline pumping!!!
It is one of the most inspiring things I have read in a while!
The extent of your strength is unreal....and once again...it is very beautifully reflected by this piece of work... and conveyed to people who can learn from your experiences....
One has to take responsibility of his or her actions...and happily deal with it....we settle down crying,cribbing and complaining and eventually give up!!!
The key is to not stop fighting....until the very end!!!
You & your work makes me proud!!
