The 5 People You Meet in Heaven (Part 1) According to "The Five People You Meet in Heaven", Eddie stated a quote that impacted me due to its vast quantities of meanings behind the words he had said to Tala, the fifth person Eddie meets. He deeply said, "I was sad because I didn't do anything with my life. I was nothing. I accomplished nothing. I was lost. I felt like I wasn't supposed to be there." The reason this quote impacted me was due to the fact that at one point in my life, I felt that I had accomplished nothing from my hard work. For example, if I passed a test or quiz with a good grade, I did feel joyful and exhilarated, but at the same time, I felt that I didn’t do my best at it. Whenever I had to study for anything, I sometimes …show more content…

Accomplishment and success are two factors that are essential to me, including everyone else. The reason behind this is because not only do these characteristics come with many benefits, but it also encourages residents to aspire to something that they look up to. Take Steve Jobs for example. He was a successful businessman who founded Apple and became the Chief Executive Officer of this company for many years. However, he did not graduate from college, which shows that anyone who feels that they have accomplished nothing in life still has the potential and skills to become an important figure in life.

Everyone is special in every way, and this quote that came from Eddie has inserted another thought into my mind. We all have to remember that we have each other if we want to accomplish a goal that may seem impossible and vexing to reach. Life is a moment where we as humans get to experience the many wonders of this world, and we should not let ourselves drown in this feeling of failure when we are depressed or disappointed. When there is a conflict that impacts you to the point that you feel that you don’t belong in this world, think about the future. Everything gradually gets better over time, no matter how terrible the situation is. There are so many programs and helping hands that exist here, and we as a community must look out for each other when trouble strikes. Resilience is an essential factor for all of the residents of this planet. Why? Everyone must learn to recover from extreme or prolonged stress to continue on with their lives. Not one person deserves to be treated as they are nothing in this world. We have a say, a voice, and a spirit that will stick with us forever. Use this in order to accomplish your goals, to bring happiness into many lives, and most importantly, to inspire others to do the same. This will prevent many citizens to wonder if their life has not met with a single accomplishment or
