September 7th, 2011 What I Live For

Caroline Nicol

I havent been through that much, I didnt live the war neither did I suffered during childhood, nor that I did something so amazing that people really noticed me , but I still believe that I know enough about life to have found adequate reasons to live this amazing journey. Passion, hope and intelligence, those three words means so much for me; they are the reason why I wake up every morning. They are what I live for My grandfather once told me that if you do something, do it the best you can and I asked myself what makes you so motivated that you will give anything you have to make it the best you can. What is it that makes you sweat every drop of water you have, that makes you work until you cant keep your eyes open? To me, theres only one thing and its passion. It has so much strength and it is within the reach of anyone, then how can you not live your life without passion. Whatever I am or will be passionate about is going to be great and it is without any doubts the thing that will take me and our world further. But even with all the passion in the world, we will have to go through hard times in our life, you just cant control it and in those situations, hope is the best ally you can have. Charles de Gaulle once said, The end of hope is the beginning of death Just like passion, hope is extremely powerful and it is what will make the difference between defeat and success, life and death. I live my life with hope because I know it will make the difference. Last but not least, intelligence is what I advocate for. Of all the species on Earth we were given the capacity to think, to resonate and to learn. Our brain has the ability to retain a near infinite quantity of information. We can make ourselves better why deprive ourselves the privilege to do so. With great passion, I promise myself that I will continue to make my intelligence grow has much as I can through all my life with the true hope of a better world. Three concepts, each very different from the others, but when together they create a force of nature that can hardly be beaten, they can give you as much as they give to me and with them inside of my mind the world better be ready for what is coming.
