The Flower

"Without being shaken up, where is the flower that blooms?
In this world, even the beautiful flower, blooms because it got shaken up
While it is shaken up, the stem becomes straightened
Without being shaken up, where is the love that is possible?
A flower without getting rained on, where is it?
In this world, even the most beautiful flower, has been rained on, and rained on, and bloomed
Getting wet from the rain and wind, the flower blooms warmly
A life without getting rained on, where is it?"
-Teacher Jung from School 2013

Life is

“Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
Life is beauty, admire it.
Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is a promise, fulfill it.
Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is a tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is luck, make it.
Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
Life is life, fight for it.” 
― Mother Teresa
