Learning to Breathe

Lyrics:
Hello, good morning, how you do?
What makes your rising sun so new?
I could use a fresh beginning too
All of my regrets are nothing new
So this is the way that I say I need you
This is the way that I'm

Learning to breathe
I'm learning to crawl
I'm finding that you and you alone can break my fall
I'm living again, awake and alive
I'm dying to breathe in these abundant skies

Hello, good morning, how you been?
Yesterday left my head kicked in
I never, never thought that
I would fall like that
Never knew that I could hurt this bad

So this is the way that I say I need you
This is the way that I say I love you
This is the way that I say I'm yours
This is the way, this is the way




Review:

It may thorough an Eros love, but for me it’s a song for God. Some say and comments I have just read about this, many relates to it for having their thoughts of what is the present, the way of the love they've known.

Yet this will be a song that is re mindful of how we’re going to live. Live for a purpose, or a fruitful love, love itself must kept, and faith for God.

The "Learning to Breathe" title simply means, every life has chance, there is no so called helpless until we overcome on believing the life we aimed for. Breathe symbolizes life yet we can change it to another situation that will explain life. Breathing, of what we've known makes us keep going but behind, we all don't know that God is the one makes us breathe. Learning to keep going is what this song refers. 

Having Him in everyday of our life makes us live longer. I first understand what the first and second line implies, it is you that must not forget to pray and ask guidance to God. And the continuation line implies for what every problem has a its own solution, don't be bother by any of our regrets, hope is ours.

Coach Carter



Review:

Everything in life is somehow connected. Its a matter of taking right decisions before knowing what that everything in life is. Being successful is completing something that you think you can’t do. Yet you can do anything that you set your mind to. This movie, “Coach Carter” speaks out the something of life, taking chances and choosing what is important in life. And somehow to learn respect, teamwork, humility, responsibility and as well change. Life is not that really unfair, it is just full of circumstances and challenges that we as humans need to face. But with all those obstacles in life, which one is the most important thing that we need to look forward to?

Leaders are those who inspire others to do better. And by taking actions, these leaders are making difference to their people. And one of them is Coach Ken Carter. Carter was a basketball coach of a hopeless team that no one can tame or teach. Yet Carter still gives it a shot and eventually changes and teaches them to learn the value of discipline, and finds faith to succeed.

Respect is something that is easy to lose but hard to gain. Coach Carter teaches his players that discipline starts with self-respect. If you know how to respect yourself, you can respect others too. Responsibility is another thing that a team needs to take. The responsibility of being good in sports without failing in Academics is a hard task that Carter wants them to succeed. Another is that, Carter wants them to realize that basketball is not their life; it is just a part of their life. Playing basketball can’t get them through life, but having a good education would.

The key of change is to let go of fears. Timo Cruz says: “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. It is a matter of facing the fear that we feel inside.” Our deepest fear is being unable to fulfill our potential. The potential that we have inside that God has given us to explore, and to share. Cause as we express it with ourselves we also share the same feeling of being able to express to others.

As the Richmond Oilers continues their road to success, they eventually take a wrong path leading to their destination. Carter implemented his players that in order for them to be real champions, they need to act as champions. Champions are those who are made from deep inside and not from gyms. And as a team, they achieve more than what they expected. A team is not by many but as one. It is not just for the sake of one but for the sake of everybody. They fight for their one goal and desire.

Growing up in the world, you learn many things about people. You have to learn from decision makings. Yes, living might mean taking chances. Chances that are worth taking. This movie is not just a movie of success but also a movie of knowing what really a team is. A movie that reminds us that we still have goals in life that we need to reach and take full responsibility.

Everything is not about winning. We achieve what everything in life is. It is just a matter of having our up’s and down’s. We are always going to be facing challenges that in time will become more difficult. If we choose to just give up we will never solve anything. We must evaluate the actions that need to take place and solve it step by step. Cause as what Confucius says: “A journey to a thousand miles begins with one step.” connected.
