I think continually of those who were truly great.

Who, from the womb, remembered the soul’s history

Through corridors of light, where the hours are suns,

Endless and singing. Whose lovely ambition

Was that their lips, still touched with fire,

Should tell of the Spirit, clothed from head to foot in song.

And who hoarded from the Spring branches

The desires falling across their bodies like blossoms.

 

What is precious, is never to forget

The essential delight of the blood drawn from ageless springs

Breaking through rocks in worlds before our earth.

Never to deny its pleasure in the morning simple light

Nor its grave evening demand for love.

Never to allow gradually the traffic to smother

With noise and fog, the flowering of the spirit.

 

Near the snow, near the sun, in the highest fields,

See how these names are fêted by the waving grass

And by the streamers of white cloud

And whispers of wind in the listening sky.

The names of those who in their lives fought for life,

Who wore at their hearts the fire’s centre.

Born of the sun, they travelled a short while toward the sun

And left the vivid air signed with their honour.

Blind and deaf was the new born Helen Keller and it was difficult for her to understand the things around her. She would flinch whenever someone touches her skin. She would throw a fit whenever she touches something new to her. But that didn’t hinder everyone to help little Helen from being isolated to other kids. So they hired a teacher that broke through little Helen’s isolation. Helen’s teacher, Anne Sullivan, helped her in satisfying her curiosity by spelling out the words on Helen’s palm that made little Helen observe and feel that she was and she will never be alone. When she grew up, she didn’t stop from working hard even though she was deaf and blind. She didn't let her disabilities become her weakness in fact she used it as her strength.

                I was inspired by her story that it took me weeks to move on from her story. And after reading her story it made me realize things, there is no hindrance in overcoming a challenge if you have faith and determination.  Challenges may take you down but she said that without them, life is pointless.  She showed me that there are no boundaries to courage and faith.  All of the things she said woke me up from the nightmare I was having. I always thought that I should please people by doing what is right for them but Helen Keller once said, “Your success and happiness lies in you. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy, and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties.”

'Don't be afraid, cause the chances are there for the take'

That is a line from Christina Grimmie's song, Advice. The song shows how chances are very important. The lyrics touched my heart as the song expressed how chances are very easy to take. 

'Don't be rushed, cause hurrying causes mistakes ... treasure the choices you make,... '

We are always confused in which path are we going to take. But we don't weigh the pros and cons we can get from taking those chances. So we thought that the choice we make were wrong. But, every choices come with consequences. So we don't have to be afraid. Instead, let's treasure every choices we make.

' You may think you've had it rough. And try to give it up,'

Never ever look down on yourself. You may have a rough time now,or maybe tomorrow, or next week, or the weeks that will come, but never lose hope. You can always get back up when your down.

'Love is all you need'
