Religious Class..

i love my religious classes!!!we always get to talk about daily or international issues or just chat and gossip...every religious session a pair of students would have to do a reflection on something.. today's was about life.Rosie and Cecil prepared today's reflection...they played a song by Switchfoot to remind us and trigger our minds to think about our present life and reevaluate our lives as well as our goals... What i want to highlight is the movie that we watched (in 3 periods) ending today.The movie's called 'The Emperor's Club'...Watch it...it's really an eye opener! here are a few striking and really life impacting quotes which i thought i would like to share...
  • A man's character is his fate
  • Aristophanes once wrote, roughly translated; "Youth ages, immaturity is outgrown, ignorance can be educated, and drunkenness sobered, but STUPID lasts forever."
  • The worth of a life is not determined by a single failure or a solitary success
  • The waters in which we found ourselves swimming, were precisely as lovely as those we had earlier only imagined. But if time had made concessions for love, it made none for death
  • Not to know what happened before you were born is to be forever a child
These are a few funny scenes in the movie...hehe... Louis Masoudi was running on the grass (unknowingly i think..) and the teacher Mr. Hundert called him. William Hundert: Excuse me?
Louis Masoudi: Huh? What me?
William Hundert: Yes, sir. What is your name?
Louis Masoudi: Uh, Louis.
William Hundert
: Just Louis?
Louis Masoudi: Louis Masoudi, sir.
William Hundert: Mr. Masoudi, could you define the word "path" for me?
Louis Masoudi: Well, there are several definitions, I suppose.
William Hundert
: Would "a route along which someone or something moves" be among them?
Louis Masoudi: Yeah. Oh, yeah. No. Yeah.(silence) (Mr. Hundert fake coughs ,raises his eyebrow and hints to the grass.)
Oh yeah. I'm s-sorry, sir.
William Hundert
: Follow the path, Mr. Masoudi. Walk where the great men before you have walked.
Louis Masoudi
: Yes, sir. It's, uh - It's better for the grass.
William Hundert
: It's better for you. ______________________________________________________________________ William Hundert: [discussing 44 specific emperors] Can you name any of them?
Sedgewick Bell: I can name 7.
William Hundert: Go ahead...
Sedgewick Bell: Grump, Sleepy, Sneezy, Doc...
William Hundert
: Seriously, do you know any of them?
Sedgewick Bell: I can name 4.
William Hundert: Go ahead.
Sedgewick Bell: [in an English accent, counting off his fingers] John, Paul, Ringo [closes all but the middle finger]
Sedgewick Bell
: and George.
