REFLECTION

Recently, I saw a good movie, which is called “The Bucket List”. The Bucket List is
talking about two old men meet each other in the hospital because of their terminal illnesses.
They share the same hospital room together, and they become good friends. One is Edward
Cole, who owns a lot of hospitals. He is a billionaire. He has divorced four times, and he has a
daughter. The other one is Carter Chambers, who married his wife for forty-five years, and he
has two sons and a daughter. Following the policy of Edward, two people need to share a room,
and there is no exception. They stay day and night with each other and become good friends.
One day, Edward Cole picks up a paper as a trash, and he finds that it is Carter’s bucket list. He
asked Carter to have a journey with him, and finish all they want to do before they die. Instead
of lining in bed all day, they want to do something they do not do before and have no regret
after they die. At first, Carter’s wife does not allow his husband to have a trip. She hopes her
husband can change another hospital to have a better cure. Carter insists that having a
wonderful trip is worthily. During the trip, Carter feels very relaxed. He doesn’t need to care
about his children, and worries about his work. The trip makes him feel better. He doesn’t have
this kind of comfortable feel before. During the trip, Carter asks Edward some questions about
life. “Have you found joy in your life?” “Have your life brought joy to others?” In the end of their
life, they realize what is really important in their life. Why do people never know what we have
got until it’s gone? Although Edward owns a lot of hospitals, and becomes a rich man, he has a
poor relationship with his daughter. Carter hopes that Edward should repair his relationship
with his daughter and does not leave any regret in his life. This movie reminds us to cherish our
life at every moment, and treasure your family members and friends. Time flies. We are not
immortal. Whether you are rich or not, you need to face a question that is our life is limited.
Everyone needs to face death. Try to think that today is the end of the world, and your will not
waste any minutes in your life. We need to reflect that do we bring joy to others. Most of
people in the world are selfish, they just care about themselves. People often like to ask
someone for help but do not like others to ask ourselves for help. We need to find joy in our
own life; also we need to bring joy to others. If you can do these, I think that your life is
meaningful. Sometimes, life needs to be limited, so that we will change our lifestyle. “The
bucket list” changed Edward’s and Carter’s life. After they feel illness, they realize that their lives
are limited. They can’t waste time any more. It’s time to find the joy in their life. What are the
things that they really want? What can they contribute to their lovers or their country? After I
saw this movie, I know that I need to set a goal to me. Make a list, and write down what I really
want to finish. I need to remember that always do meaningful things and enjoy in it. Do I want
to know my deadline? I think it is hard to answer. I don’t want to know when I will die. I think it
is meaningless. All we need to do is enjoy in our life and do not leave any regret.
