Week 11- Enjoy life!

The article Perception was very interesting. I think it’s sad how we as individuals don’t really pay attention and appreciate the little things in life. Everyone is so caught up and busy with his or her daily lives that we don’t stop and see the beauty of life. We are too busy worrying about other things like school and work that we don’t give ourselves slack and actually stop what we’ve been doing to enjoy life. We need to start appreciating life and stop rushing through life. If not, we may later regret the things we’ve done and wish that we could turn back time to experience things a lot differently. If I were there at the time Joshua Bell played at the station and didn’t care to stop to listen, I would regret it. I think we are too focused on our personal life and priorities that we don’t take time off to appreciate the little things. This article makes me think about the people who perform and do things on the sidewalk at the Waikiki strip. There are a lot of people who share their talents by dancing, singing, playing an instrument, and even painting beautiful art. When I’m there I stop and see what they are doing but I don’t really pay attention to their identity. This is one thing I should start doing. Who knows, maybe it might be a famous person sharing their talent and I didn’t take the opportunity to stop and appreciate it. We should all start appreciating the little things and enjoy life.
