You only live once

Recently, I just watched “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle.” The concept of this movie is very simple and very interesting. Four high school kids who were detention in school and accidentally found an old video game console and entered the virtual game. They become the game character they chosen and started the journey of the game in first person view.

Because of the huge change of identity, there are a lot of funny moments in the movie.

But the most thought-provoking thing about the movie is the concept of the game. Four people must work together to complete the game, or they will be stuck in the game forever.

Everyone only has three lives. If you run out of lives, then you will die in the real world too.

The muscular man, Bravestone, at the beginning of the game, he was brave and invincible. Rumbling, repairing helicopters while hanging in the air, there is nothing he can’t do. But after he died twice, only left with one last life, he becomes timid.

"If you have three lives, you can be brave." But when there is only one life, what shall we take to be brave? ”

It looks sad but has a deep meaning. But who doesn’t only have one life in this world?

When we were young, we thought the days were long, and everything was in time. Play game today, watch TV series tomorrow, you can do anything, just don't be serious.

There's plenty of time anyway!

When we have time, time is so worthless. Having time is the biggest capital of young. But when we really reach the day that we don’t have the time, we will found out that: Where is all my time gone to?

Four years of university, except for grades and certificate, as if nothing left.

After three years of working, just to find that I was still just a rookie, just more familiar with Word, and able to write report smoother.

Is it a little late to regret?

While we still have "3 lives", we should cherish every opportunity to live. Otherwise, when we die, even if we regret, no one will pity us.

The reality is more brutal than the game.

We all have only one live; there is no restart from checkpoint. The reality of living environment is not better than the game. Maybe tomorrow, a flowerpot hit you from above; or hit by a drunk driver.

Tomorrow and accident, you never know which will come first.

Even if you saved this small life, but you can never afford to buy a room, can't afford marriage. Each task, all are in hard mode.

But so what?

The teammate in the movie said:”We have only one life. That's how it is.”

We can't choose how we born, we can't choose how we die, but the road between life and death, we can choose for ourselves.

Since we only live once, why not try to live as we want?

Anyway, we will eventually die, it's better to follow your own thought, at least for once! What other people think, it's none of my business!

My life is only my business. You can guide my life, but don't point at my life.

Listen to the opinions of most people, talk to a few, and make your own decisions. This is the right way of living.

Ask yourself, what makes you sleepless, what makes you feel excited. Then go after it bravely.

I am surrounded by entrepreneurs, have a market capitalization of billions, there are also people who have only enough income for food and clothing. So what? At least it's your choice, at least you've lived your life seriously. At least, I've never heard them regret their choices.

We come to the world, isn’t just to experience life?

Of course, not everyone, are suitable for entrepreneurship, suitable to make money, suitable to leave the system and be a freelancer. Some people like "simply like a stone" life.

Of course it's good. As long as this is the life you really want to live.

The most terrible is while working for others but yearn for freedom outside the system, every day complaining about the life, but never did any preparation for resignation.

This is the saddest. The current life is not good, all day living in the fantasy, sullen, wasted life.

Of course, you don't want to be such a person.

So, please hold on to your life and live in the way you like for a lifetime.
