The meaning of life

What is the meaning of life? Last Night i watched a totally touching movie, an old man is going to meet his death and another persons is one of his student. This old man like to teach so he is a teacher, and his student is a very busy men work as Sports Editor, he is well known for sports. One day, he was talking to his wife through the phone, suddenly he saw his Ex- teacher was going to die soon. So he plan to fly over and visit him, suddenly he was struck by the old man story that's his teacher, told him about his life.

His student ask him, are you afraid of dying? The old man responds, why not? I cried when i think of death but i try to revised my past 22 years as a healthy man that's enough for me. I don't think i want to be back for another past 22 years, i had enough with it. Once his student listen to his story he was indeed shock can't understand what is he mean.

When the day past, the old man health was getting weak, and his time is going to end, so his student quit his job and spend most every Tuesday to visit him. Therefore, during his visit he bring a recorder to record every words he spoken to him. The subject is "The Meaning of Life" tribute with 5 chapter:

1. Love
2. Death
3. Wealth
4. Time
5. Health

This is all the human need during their life, so his student will ask one by one on every each time he visit his teacher. He explain every things about his life that he learn, so his student said to him, your life is so miserable can you scope with it. his teacher responds, well my friend we learn how to live in our life, everything you and i done is a test of patients that had created in our destiny, as you can see our destiny had been written before we step our foot on this earth. If you learn how to live then you learn how to die. His student ask him again, are you sad when you know you are dying? His teacher sigh there and smile towards him, sometimes i'm sad and sometimes no, everyone is sad when they know they are dying but i try to live happy life. After that he hold his student hand and pull him closer said that, sad of dying is not a big deal, but sad of the things you didn't do during your past time. Let me ask you, do you regrets in your life the old man ask his student. His student answer in a persuade way, YES ! The old man replied back, that's the saddest thing in my life, he ask do you ever use your time wisely? The student answer, definitely! He smile again and say are you sure this is what you really want to respond deep in your heart. His student silent without a words coming out from his lips. His teacher say, don't worry, you can never get rid of the regrets in you mind try to accept it and learn from it, he continue on his wonderful story, when i was a kid i do things i don't like, for an example, my dad bring me to work in the feather factory, unfortunately starving brings you by force, you can't do anything, but unluckily i struck with asthma due to the feather that i inhale, so ran away from that factory. With one lucky life i got, i became a teacher, to teach you and everyone. Suddenly his student was reminded by words coming out from his teacher, and ask you enter the class with a silent, and every one is odd about it, but not for 10 minutes but for 20 minutes you just sit on chair and keep quiet, so can you tell me why? His teacher ask with a laughter on his face, why can't we be silent for a moment what bothers about you, can't we be silent for a moment, we can never get that silent you know. He told him again about his story, i was your coach that time many people yelled about "this team need to be the no 1 ranking" so i answer them what's wrong with number 2. Everyone kept quite and refresh, respond in the agree way what's wrong with number 2.

To be continue........
