7. Discuss the meaning of the quotation written beneath the title of this module.
Relate the quotation to your life.
Answer: We all do exist in anyone’s life. There are some people entering our lives for us to grow for the
better, we maybe suffer at some point of our life and make mistakes but those are just the test and part
of growing. The people entering our lives is giving us the learnings in life. While growing we are learning
to make our life simple and at peace. All that matters is that we live happy always be a better version of
you.
 REFLECTION NO. 1

We shouldn’t judge anyone the way they act, their appearance and especially the state of
their lives. Because we never know what is the reason behind of every person’s personality or
state in life. We can’t easily judge a person by their outlook until we know the person and their
story. Because there are some people who don’t look good in the outside but actually a rich
one. And there is someone who has bad mouth or act inappropriately at times but they are the
good ones.
Like for example, the people who has so many tattoos always been judge as a criminal or
bad person, but sometimes they are really the good person at heart. They just show their
burden, passion, and arts by those tattoos.
So, we shouldn’t laugh or judge a person with a dirty or old clothes because we never
know their stories. As the saying “do not do unto others, what you do not want unto you”. Be a
better person and be an inspiration to others.
