Drink more water, people.


Meanwhile, allow me to broadcast to you all, a superb and inspiring movie. Yes, a-must-watch-movie indeed!


Seriously, it's really infrequent nowadays to seize on good movie on cinema and in the market. And what i mean by "good", is not those cool or action-driven storyline. People kill, people die. Nope nope. Of course, every movie is permissible to watch, still, not all are actually beneficial to us. Hence, we need to be wise enough to view beneficial movie.


On Wednesday night, College Care Group has its quarterly Movie Night!!! Woot..!!


Patch Adams.

This is an old movie. Inspired by a true story. Probably some of you might have seen this movie already. But it's always good to re-watch it again yea?


2 hours of worth watching indeed! It's basically a man, Patch Adams who is always desired to help people, care for people and love people. And Patch believes that by becoming a doctor, he will be able to help many other patients. Yet, he believes that theoretical medic facts by just memorizing will not help the patients, know the patients personally, therefore he believes that through laughter, hospitality and humble oneself down to the patient's level are the actual way to help those needy.


Of course, those descriptions are just a small portion of the entire scripts. Watch it!!!




Sure enough, i have captured heaps of lessons from this movie. It teaches us not to concentrate on the pain in front of us. We should not let our temporary problems or obstacles to cover us from seeing the even bigger pictures in front of us. Those are just short-term in our life journey. Therefore, we should focus, focus on the BIGGER vision/goal ahead of us.


Patch Adams does not allow his temporary lost and his rivals' despise to stop him from achieving his goal that is to help the needy. He focuses on the bigger and greater goal of his.


Secondly, what do you think you will look like if you wear a moody facial on your face? Likewise, if we wear a smile on your face, how will we look like?


It's a subjective answer, i believe. Yet, Patch Adams has demonstrated the outcome when he chooses to cheer and offer laughter to the needy. It brings positive effects not to him only, but to the needy. "Laughter is contagious", that's the theme of the story.



Lastly, this movie teaches us that doctors, or to be more specific, we cannot just delaying one's death because death is actually part of God's purpose; but, we, everyone of us can actually improve the quality of each other's lives. We are inspired by Patch Adams' life example to humble ourselves to the same level of every needy and offer help, hospitality and humility.


Amen.


Watch it if you haven't.
