Achieving a Goal is Like Flying a Kite

Achieving your goals is like flying a kite. Your goals may be as colorful as your kite yet so high and difficult to reach. You must follow the direction of the wind and keep your eyes on the kite so that it would not fall. You must hold on tight to the string that keeps you and your kite connected. This string is like your hope that even when you are far from your goals, you are just a string away to achieve it. In flying a kite, sometimes the wind blows too low which makes your kite fall. But even though it falls, just like your hopes, you still try to find the wind and let your kite fly high in the sky. (bernadette ann pestanas)

Life is Like a Song

Life is like a song, simple yet complicated. A song consists of a verse, a refrain, a chorus, and a bridge. In life, the verse is the part where you start to experience what the world is like. The refrain deals with the part of putting these experiences into action. You try to use what you’ve learned. The chorus is the peak of life that deals with where you find a job, try to support yourself, and survive the challenges life has to offer. And finally, the bridge is the point of contentment. It is where you are already settled. You have less worries. You just wait for your time—the time where your life ends. But despite these, it still depends on how you will deal with life.

Death is Like a Thief in the Night

Understanding death is like understanding a thief in the night. A thief comes when you least expect him to come. He will not give any warning to the household that he will take their things or belongings. A thief will (try to) take everything he wants. Death is like a thief in the night. We do not know when death will knock at our doors. No one can make preparations for his/her death unless a doctor knows when his patient will die because of a severe illness (but even that can still proved to be unpredictable). Still, we really do not know the exact date and time of our death. God gave us this life and He alone knows and he alone takes it from us. So, as we are still living we should make the best out of it. We should enjoy life and do good things while we still can for we do not really know when our lives will be taken from us.
