I’m sure most of us have watched the 3 idiots movie. It is a Bollywood movie that was cast by Aamir Khan, Sharman Joshi, R.Madhavan and Kareena Kapoor. Interestingly it is a nice movie and at the same time there are many things I can learn from it in terms of life lesson. After watched the movie, I’ve really learned a lot of things to the point that it has changed my perspective when it comes to learning. So, for those who still have not watched the movie, I strongly recommend the movie to all of you. Don’t waste your time anymore, go and enjoy the movie with popcorn.
One of the things that I learned from the movie is make your passion as your profession. Many students nowadays are attending colleges not with the degree they wanted to take up but with the degree they should take up primarily because of greener pastures they are going to have when they graduate from that certain degree. This is a bittersweet reality. Yes, you may be successful but you’ll never be fully happy. Yes you may learn to be happy but at your deathbed, you’ll definitely have some regrets. You’ll be haunted by the what-ifs of your life. Do not fit yourself into something you do not like because the happiness you’ll get is just half-baked. Whether the passion that you want in life does not pay you big bucks, does not give you luxurious cars, could not afford to let you travel around the world, for as long as you’re happy with it, for as long as the contentment is there, that’s what matters most.
Next, do not chase success, let success chase you. Easier said than done right? I remember back when I was asked what do I want to become when I get old aside from being a pharmacist, the thing that comes into my mind is to become successful. I supposed many of you also wanted to be successful in the future. But isn’t that ironic that we chase for success instead of success chasing us? We’ve always wanted to be successful but we put less to no efforts at all to become one. So let’s change our mantra, let’s work hard and let success chase us.
Lastly, trust yourself and do not fear. This is applicable to circumstances such as exams, academic tests, et al. Fear will drag you down. Fear of failing. Fear of not being able to uphold the standards compelled to you. Fear will and will always deprive you of learning. If you fail, you’ll learn. If you do not get what the teacher had discussed, then you’ll learn that you must have to review or ask your teacher again about the lesson. If you do not meet the standards of your parents then you’ll learn to appreciate second chances and try again. I can see that in every opportunity you erase fear in your life is an opportunity to learn, opportunity most importantly to trust in yourself. Because fear would not bring you to the end, it’s trusting yourself and courage that would help you to arrive there.
Indeed, 3 Idiots is one must-watch movie for students. It does not only give us entertainment, but it also gives us lessons in life that we can apply in our journey of learning. Learning they say is a continuous process, we learn every second, every moment, every day in our life, and watching it is one way of learning several things in life that we least expect to get from a movie. I recommend this to everyone especially those people having doubts in their selves, those who do not believe that they can do something, those who are afraid of their selves. May you be motivated after watching it. Always remember that in every hardship, in every trial, in every challenge that comes into our life, put your hand above your heart and say “AAL IZ WELL (all is well)!”
