I'm moved with how the movie reminded me that we should pursue our passions because I believe that passions are a gift from God that leads us to the discovery and realization of our purpose. I'm even convicted that maybe sometimes, instead of motivating, I impress mental and emotional pressure to students that wouldn't really help them be successful.
If you're a student, don't just study to have a job! But make your school season an opportunity to grow in your character. It's better to fail and learn a lesson than to pass an exam you cheated. When you graduate, your employer wont look at the results of your exam in College but will look at how you handled stress during School. If you cheated in school, most likely you will also cheat in the workplace.
I know there a lot of more experienced educator than me, but I suggest we coach our students in life, not just teach them how to memorize and analyze. More importantly, let's be vehicles for the students to realize their passions. teach them more than what's in the book... but teach them Life! A lot of students may not take our advices seriously because basically they're young to be serious, but treat our words like seeds planted in their hearts that one day would grow.
If you're a parent, we're thankful for your sacrifices so that your offsprings get educated but realize that you're not God who can direct a person what path to take. Parents are significant in guiding their children but not to dictate where they go. Be a support system and motivate the kids in love and not in threat.
Life is beautiful especially the season of studying. Let's keep our focus on what would matter long-term :)
