"ALONE"

Have you ever dreamed of being alone stranded on an isolated island? What would you do if you were to be in that situation? Do you think you can survive? If I were to ask myself these questions, my answer would definitely be no. I don’t think I can survive there…alone!!! No way José!! I don’t think I have the courage to do so. I remember watching the movie “Cast Away” starred by Tom Hanks, couple of years ago.

Even though it was only a movie, I admire the courage and determination of the main character. He survived the plane crash, which I think by luck, and he managed to survive on the deserted island all by himself. What I learnt from the movie is that man can survive alone, physically but still needs a friend to communicate with, which I believe to be one of the most important elements in life.

Having to watch the movie somehow has given me the chance to think of how important it is to have the strong will power; the courage and determination, the creativity in utilizing the things surround you in order to be a successful person. Looks like I have to be strong like Tom Hanks if I want to achieve my goal. Can I?? It is never easy, especially when people seem to believe that you are surrounded by many, with a million dollar smile on your face but the real fact is that you are “alone”. Mother Theresa used to say, “The most terrible poverty is loneliness and the feeling of being unloved”. I guess that is very true!!
