Things You Can Learn From The Book "JONATHAN LIVINGSTON SEAGULL"

Hello, 




Yesterday I read the book about seagull who really wants to how to fly not just because it helps him to find food but just for fun. His name is Jonathan Livingston. And I want to tell you 8 things that you can learn from his story. It's a small story that I think everyone should read because it helps you understand who you really are and what you want. The story is not about seagulls, is about people and their relationships.

1. Believe in yourself.

Sometimes it's hard. OK, it's always to believe in yourself, believe that you are worth to have everything that you want. But Jonathan believes and after all he makes his dreams come true.

“You have the freedom to be yourself, your true self, here and now, and nothing can stand in your way".” 

2. Believe in your dreams

It's not the same as believe in yourself. Jonathan had doubts about his dream. He tries hard but nothing worked and he was disappointed in the dream...

"There’s no way around it. I am a seagull. I am limited by nature. If I were meant to learn so much about flying, I’d have charts for brains. If I were meant to fly at speed I’d have falcon’s short wings, and live on mice instead of fish. My father was right. I must forget this foolishness. I must fly home to the Flock and be content as I am, as a poor limited seagull."

but only for a moment

3. Don't listen anyone

I think there is need no words to explain this. Just don't listen. They know nothing about you, your dreams, your goals

“Jonathan sighed. The price of being misunderstood, he thought. They call you devil or they call you god.” 

Sometimes even your parents don't understand you

“Why ,Jon ,why?” His mother asked. “Why is it so hard to be like the rest of the flock, Jon? Why can’t you leave low flying to the pelicans, the albatross? Why don’t you eat? Jon, you are bone and feathers!"

4. Make your dreams come true.

Do everything to get closer to your dream. Do everything even they seem impossible because all things are possible until they are proved impossible and even the impossible may only be so, as of now. Try over and over again.

"He felt better for his decision to be just another one of the  Flock.

There would be no ties now to the force that  had  driven  him  to  learn,

there would be no more challenge and no more failure. And it  was  pretty,

just to stop thinking, and fly through the dark, toward the  lights  above

the beach."

5. Be a coach

Help people who want to know things that you've already known. Teach other people who want to do the same things you do

"Jonathan stayed and worked with the new birds coming in, who were all

very bright and quick with their lessons. But the old feeling  came  back,

and he couldn't help but think that there might be one or two  gulls  back

on Earth who would be able to learn, too. How  much  more  would  he  have

known by now if Chiang had come to him on the day that he was Outcast!"

6. You always can find people who understand you

When you what you love you finally find people who love the same things as you do. They can be your friends. They can teach you some things that you don't know.

He recovered to level flight and was  quiet  for  a  time  before  he spoke. 

"Very well," he said, "who are you?"

     "We're from your Flock, Jonathan. We are your  brothers."  The  words

were strong and calm. "We've come to take you higher, to take you home."

     "Home I have none. Flock I have none. I am Outcast. And we fly now at

the peak of the Great Mountain Wind. Beyond a few hundred feet, I can lift

this old body no higher."

     "But you can Jonathan. For you have learned. One school is  finished,

and the time has come for another to begin."

7. Be obsessed with your idea

"Each of us is in truth an idea of the Great Gull, an unlimited idea of freedom"

8. Don't let your dreams just be dreams

“Don’t believe what your eyes are telling you. All they show is limitation. Look with your understanding. Find out what you already know and you will see the way to fly.”

Flowers for Algernon

Hello, 

Today I want to tell you about the wonderful novel is Flowers for Algeron written by Daniel Keyes. Keyes created a masterpiece. I will not argue that the author selected topic that remains a rare nowadays, not at all. But the Keyes wrote the story much earlier, that is one of the first to develop this theme so widely.

Happy to tell you why this book is truly unique.

First, it is written in the form of a person's diary. Secondly, Daniel has kept the spelling and punctuation of the author of this diary! It would seem, what's the trick? And it is that this diary belongs to Charly Gordon is a young guy with a very low level of intelligence. The guy became a participant-volunteer medical experiment to increase the efficiency of the brain. Well and, thirdly, Keyes opened this topic not as do the current authors. He wrote from a position of kindness and sincerity. Humanity.

I admired of the story of man who changing from the inside. Charly grows wiser in all directions simultaneously, and these changes are simply amazing! Really believe that he is not the figment of imagination of a talented author, but a real, once living people, and you're holding his report. The report should be noted, very detailed and diligent, with sparkling dialogue and important details. And the more intelligent Charly becomes, the more detail he gives us, the more he adds his own thoughts and not just telling about what happened.

Of course, at first, to read his meager records it is very difficult, not even because of the fact that he makes mistakes in every word. Here everything is complicated by the incoherence, primitive Charly's thinking.

Throughout the series, Charly not only learns to write correctly, but begins to express more smoothly. In the book, several subplots, there is romance, and career, and the theme of friends, and the subject of reverent attitude to the experimental mouse.

Reading "Flowers for Algernon", I kept thinking about the fact that sometimes people with low IQ are more sensitive, kind than pundits and geniuses. To be honest, I like stupid Charly more than a genius Charly.

The book makes you think about what's most important in life - about love, about humanity, about relationships between people, about what really matters, and spend time on what is not necessary.

July Inspiration

Hello,

July ends and August is getting closer and closer. So, I decided to tell you about differnet things which inspired me in July. I think that it was important month because the exams finally passed and you can just relax and understand what you want to do and finally did some things that you wanted to the year but you didn't have enough time. In July I've read some books and watched films that I want to read and watch for so long. Of course I've found excellent music and musicians. I want to tell you every inspiring things in July. Welcome!


Let's start with MOVIES.

In this month I decided to know better Quentin Tarantino's movies. I've written about Hateful Eight but also I've watched Inglourious Basterds, Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction. I want to say that Inglourious Basterds is my favourite Tarantino's movies. I didn't expect that it would be some amazing. I hope that I will watch other his movies and know well any other director.

Also I watched Horrible Bosses 2; Wanted with Angelina Jolie and James McAvoy; a very interesting story about God and his family which live in Brussels - The Brand New Testament (Le Tout Nouveau Testament); Rabbit Without Ears (Keinohrhasen) with Til Schweiger; The Three Musketeers.


SERIES.

I've said it once and I said it again I'm in love with Jane the Virgin. I'm looking for the next season.

BOOKS.

In the beginning of month I've told you about book of shopaholic is SHOPAHOLIC ABROAD. It's the secong book in the series and after that I decided to read the first one (why not) is The Secret Dreamworld of a Shopaholic or Confessions of a Shopaholic. It's incredible about (if you didn't guess) shopaholic. Let me introduce - Rebecca Bloomwood and she adores to go shopping and she has a "little" problem with debt. I think you know the book becouse of film Confessions of a Shopaholic with Isla Fisher and Hugh Dancy.

The other book is 1984. It's so undescribable book but it's very impressed me. The events described in the book seems so close and so far away, so true and false at the same time. All I can say is you should read it.

Jane The Virgin

Hello,

Today I want to tell you about, I think, my favourite TV show in this summer. It's JANE THE VIRGIN. I want to tell you about it because is is not such "type" of series that I usually watch. It's more brazilian series a.k.a TELENOVELA than I've thought although I always think that I hate brazilian series but this one makes me think that it is the best series ever.

There are many funny moments, a little bit of detective and much love. The story is about Jane. Jane is a virgin. Pregnant virgin. That's how it starts. The doctor by mistake instead of the usual inspection procedure artificially inseminates our maid.

Abortion is not a solution for Catholic girls to keep the baby was not an option, then appear the father of the unborn child with his wife, which was intended for the inseminates, a bunch of relatives, mobsters, aristocrats and admirers of the latter-day cult of the virgin mother. In short, the wheel is turning.

The action develops rapidly, the plot throws wild, but at the same time is fairly standard for the genre of pranks and even the VoiceOver of the commentator sometimes has no time to explain to the viewer what is happening but it very helps to understand everything what happens.

I know that I should tell you about plot but really i don't know what to say you without spoilering because it moves so fast and sometimes I think that one episode is like a whole movie. It still makes me watch it all day and night long.

I say one thing to you is you should watch it. It is really amazing. Every detail is well thought. I am in love with emojies, hashtags and unexpected plot twists.

I have some concerns about the series. Two seasons of great show are awesome but if they are seven or eight seasons it can turn into slime, with no interest.

Jane: Mom, I had a dream.

Xiomara: Like the Martin Luther King kind of thing?

Jane: No, like the sex dream kind of thing.

Life is full of tough moments, you have to fight for what you want.

Ok, I'm going to tweet my 6.3 million followers with the hashtag #PleaseFindJane.

Between you and me, I would like to declare myself #TeamMichael. But, first and foremost, I must remain #TeamJane. That means I must encourage you to #Moveon.

Rogelio: You are amazing. 

Xo: No you are.

Rogelio: I know.
