MY REFLECTION


The Boy Who Cried Books

         Did your ever feel being alone, not having someone to support you?. Did you ever think on doing something to work out your problems?. Did you ever experience to sell something in the street to support yourself?.

       After I watched the documentary "The Boy Who Cried Books" I learned so many things. Justin De Castro the boy in the story, 19 year old had experience selling books in the street to survive in life and to sustain his studies to become a lawyer. He believes that books are the most precious thing in the world.

          I felt how determined he is despite all the thing that happened to him he didn't stop doing something that will make him stand on his own feet by the help of all the people he encountered. His not even ashamed to revealed that he has a bipolar disorder. Justin De Castro neatly stacks up his book on the brick sidewalk and in the middle of piles of books stand a chalkboard on which he writes note on his thoughts for the day.

        I think expressing ones thought makes other people understand you. Being who you are is the best way to feel lightened from all the problem. It is very inspirational that what his doing is for him to be successful and give knowledge by sharing various thing based on his experienced.

"If there is something that anyone can have in excess, it's learning." - Justin shared

       I think this line tells about how reading books is very important, there are so many benefits that we can get just by reading books, it can be for pleasure or by enhancing our knowledge. We can travel around the just by having a book, its very interesting that we can also meet new people knowing that you have the same interest and start a good conversations. Its a good thing that we have book because it can be our companion whenever we want to be alone and have a piece of mind. 



"Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. and the only way to do great work is to love what you you. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking, don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it." -- Steve Jobs
