Pay it forward, like its literal meaning, signifies
that doing good deeds to others initially. Though many of us haven’t been aware
of its happening, I can assure you that most of us have truly received those
sorts of kindness. In reality, I have received it just this evening.
Have you ever been sent a message which contains all
kinds of blessing words and at the end request you send it again to any other
ten people? Actually all these actions belong to Pay it forward. Doing goods to
others doesn’t imply that you need to save the world or change a person’s life,
a thoughtful word or a simple smile is adequate.
But in the movie, Trevor had attained his goal to
change the world. He successfully changed three other people’s lives first. Subsequently,
those three people pass down this kindness which finally shaped the first scene
that the journalist got a jaguar.
It is a moving story, nevertheless, the majority of
critics thought that the plot was too idealistic. Most of people are not likely
to change easily for they always conform to their habitual mannerism and make a
difference will drag them out of their comfortable zone. Besides, even if they
take up the suggestion, they may not carry on this helping three people
movement. For instance, let me ask you how many blessing messages like above
have you received? Did you pass it down? Some may say yes and some may say no. A
simple blessing cannot be passed on, let alone other seemingly harder kind
actions.
At the beginning, I shared the same opinion with these
so called movie critics. The movie is not practical. Then I perceived that
there is no sense that I should believe them other than the movie. They haven’t
try, so how could them testify its impossibility? Maybe it can be successful. Maybe
it can change the world. When Lincoln was born, nobody believed that he would
be America’s 16th president. But he finally made it and proceeded
well. A great man is a person who wouldn’t be stopped by common sense or
practical perception. He just does it. As for the consequence is good or bad, I
want to cite an old Chinese saying” Human come up the scheme, god accomplishes
it.”
i think it is extremely good for us to pick up the idea that we should pass our love forward and maybe we can take actions to advocate the people around us to spread the opinion and take it into practice
ReplyDeleteThe power of dream is sometimes beyond our imagination. Nothing is impossible as long as we try it and do it.Never be bothered by disturbance outside.
ReplyDeleteBut if we do send these messages to other people and request them pass it to another ten friends,we may disturb their daily lives when they are busy with schoolwork or job assignments.Everyone passes it to ten and every of ten continue pass it to another ten.Totally there will be so many time spent on the kind of meaningless message.If we make use of the large amount time to offer daily help,maybe it will be much better:)
ReplyDeleteWell,the boy's idea is great and I do agree with you that nobody should deny a thing unless he has testfied the impossibility!I like your last paragraph which enlightens me a lot.Just as the advertisement slogan"nothing is impossible""impossible is nothin"
ReplyDeleteHOHO!
i don't think that the idea is not practical. when you really do like this, i think more or less you will make a difference in other people's heart. next time, when he meets a person who turns to him for help, as a normal human it is natural for him to recall the experience when you helped him. and this time he will be more likely to help others.
ReplyDeleteI do not think the movie is so well made.But the idea is quite touching.How can you imagine a little boy can change so many people's lives.But when we think carefully,it is true that we have the potential to change our world.
