These are things that make life worth living. These are the things that remind me to get up every morning and continue pushing against the rain and the wind.
1. Education (btw, they are listed in no particular order)
I've always been a big nerd at heart and education is one of those things that forces me to get up everyday. In my experience, I've realized that with a proper education, man is able to accomplish the impossible; he is able to travel to China, make money, and dream. Education for me represents opportunity. Reading, writing, and challenging yourself mentally are things that I plan to do for years to come and possibly till the day I die. Not because I am forced, but because I love education and the idea of teaching or learning something new everyday.
2. Books
I've always been an avid reader and from an early age, my love for books grew and establish the vocabulary that I use so well today. For me, reading was a great way to see the time fly by. I grew up under a controlling mother who always reminded us that education came first. She always told us to read and prepare for the future. That if we wanted to live a good life in the future, we needed to work hard now and grasp all the information we could.
I actually remember one day during the summer when my mom actually gave us a test. If that's not bizarre enough for you, then I don't know what is. In retrospect, reading was justing something I took upon myself to exceed in. It started with one book, then two books, then a whole series of books, and so forth. Something I regret is not reading more books for information, but in my opinion I believe education and the knowledge we are equipped with the day we enter grade school has little correlation to our future success.
3. The Future
The future, and the idea that there is always more to come, is another thing that reminds how sweet life can be. For me, the future represents endless possibilities: it can never be predicted or controlled. Not knowing what's about to happen next is always a bumper for me, but in many ways a good thing. There is no way I could have imagined being where I am today if I looked by 5 years ago. Right now I'm at the prime of my life; every decision I make from this point forward will determine where I will be in the future to come and what I can expect in the next couple of years. Whatever it is, I just hope for the best.
4. Family and Friends
This topic kinda falls in sync with the other one so I'm not gonna get to touchy about it. Family and friends are the esscense point to any life. Human interaction alone is probably the most exciting part of a person day and makes the life of that person even more special, knowing that their are people out there who care and worry about you the same way you worry about them.
Touching the lives of others is probably the biggest reward any can receive on this Earth. Knowing that you're actions have moved, motivated, encouraged, facilitated, and even pushed the dreams and ambitions of another person is more gratifying than any trophy or cash price can suffice. I'm altruistic guy, what can I say.
5. Jassica
And last but definitely not least is Jassica; she makes me life worth living. I first met Jassica in early november of 2008 and since then we've been inseparable. She's pretty crazy. She forces me to do things I wouldn't otherwise do and cares about me in the most peculiar of ways. In every essence of the word, she completes me.
We share so much in common. We both love school, books, and wonder about the future. We both dream of the impossible and are crazy in our own ways. We make each other smile. We make each other laugh. And we both know, that as long as there is the other one in this world, that there is still a reason to live. I love you Jassica.
Sincerely, Hector Guzman
