To thine own self be true

I just got done watching Dead Poets Society again. I have to admit that I love this movie. There are so many great lessons that we can learn from watching it.

As I watched it this time, the lesson that I got from it was being who we are. (Spoiler) Here are a bunch of kids going to a school they don't like and doing things they don't want to do. They do it because their parents or the teachers tell them to do them.

Then here comes the new teacher (Robin Williams) and he does things differently. He starts to teach the boys to think for themselves. To do their own things and have their own thoughts, no matter who are what tells them otherwise.

Be who you are, and let nothing stop you from doing it. Follow your dreams and ignore those who tell you that you can't. Think the thoughts you do, and speak your mind; don't let others silence you.

"To thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man." William Shakespeare

Carpi Diem.

"Tis only in their dreams that men truly be free,'twas always thus, and always thus will be."
