The Red Badge of Courage


 A classical Novel, "The Red Badge of  Courage" By: Stephen Crane has the same theme of my current posts. It is about a young boy name Henry Fleming who fights his way through the civil war. He fights an internal war as well as an outer war. He doesn't just get hit by bullets, but he is scarred with something they used to call "a soldiers heart." He spends the war, fighting fear, and searching for his red badge of courage. When he finally earns it, and the war is over. You will never believe that the person who stepped out of the battlefield was the same on who stepped in.
The book teaches you, to never betray and believe in yourself. Have patience with people and never give up.

  Everyone fights their own war, it may be inner, outer or both. Everyday you wake in the morning wondering who will win the battle. Will you be able to make it to the end of the day without feeling down, or will you go to bed revealed to close your eyes and leave this world, and enter an empty calm place somewhere.   This world is consisted of two words, good and bad. Sometimes the bad conquers your life and conquers the good. It turns dark and sad, you stop caring about others and become selfish. You understand the strength a of friendship, and you tell yourself "Im going to be the bestest of friends" then you look to both sides, and see your standing alone.   There is this person in your life that you must see everyday, you must fight them everyday, show them that you are better than them. But in the inside you are so tired of fighting, you just want to tell them "you won" and turn your back to them and start a new life. But you know that you can't. You ...

Avoiding negativity

   I would like to share a few tips on how to deal with negative people. Some people just dont now what to do with themselves so they find it fun to make trouble for other people, or some find it fun to make other people's feelings hurt. I have experience with both types, so let me educate you with some techniques that I use.   First of all, keep in mind that you are 100% better than them, this will make you confident when they say negative things about you. Now, when someone  says something mean about you  that is actually true, you just have to laugh. This will anger them, because they were trying to hurt you but it turned out that you thought it was funny. Another way to deal with them is to smile in their face and walk away.  If they say something that is false about you, you thank them and walk away. Why thank them? Because YOU know that it isn't true, so why care. "Let people think what they want to think"   Someone says " You know that per...

Roses holding on to their leaves :p

   A group of friends , holding onto each other for their dear life. The beautiful and delicate roses, once red and bright are now darkening in the cramped vase filled with water. The dark green leaves heading in different directions searching for a gap which they can breath freely from. Standing tall and proud to hold up the rose petals  burgundy mixed with a dark lime green, the combination of the two colors spread across the stems as they lean on one another in the vase. The deep red roses are coming to know, that they will soon be dead. And the grief is causing them to bow their heads. But they are so beautiful and authentic, because the roses whisper amongst each other "We are born beautiful so we will die beautiful " Aayisha Nur
