Dead Poets Society was an amazing movie. I've seen it before, but it's funny that you can take the same movie, watch it in a different setting, and get a completely different outlook. This time when i watched the movie, I took away the parental pressure that was put on the children to succeed. It's so easy to say yes to everyone just to please them, when in fact we just want to say NO. We just want live our how we want to live them because eventually the people we are trying to please won't be around and then well be stuck with the lives we didn't want in the first place. When you live for other people, you end up in a really dark place. One that is so scary, when you look in the mirror you don't even see yourself anymore. All you see is the people that are doing their best to live vicariously through you. Seeing their dreams and aspirations come true, even though they'll promise you that it's all for the best and that they just "want the best for you". In leadership, some people are collaborators and others are dictators. I think that it's healthy to have a balance of the two; however, it is ultimately up to that person to choose which one they want to be. It is up to you, my friends, to choose who you want to be because in the end, YOU will be the only one living your life. You might as well make the best of it and enjoy it.
