What is your True Fear? Quiz Created on GoToQuiz

Something struck me today as I was watching this movie "What a Girl wants" on OKTO. It may seem like a typical 'drama queen' kinda movie, but honestly, this movie does have make us think and has many learning points which we ought to learn from,

Most of us dream to be popstars, princes, part of royalty, but is this really what we want and desire out of life? For most of us have at one point or another thought or dreamt of having a life of luxury, yet if we were to look at it from another perspective, that would mean trading who we are and our life for something else in return.

Would you want to trade being you for the fame, crowns and money?

One memorable line from this movie that got me thinking:

"Why are you trying to fit in when you're born to stand out?"

A powerful line which indeed impacted me.Is this world now all about trying to please others around you? Whatever happened to past qualities like being unique and having a sense of identity?

I'd say, those qualities are gone, for now people only care about the opinion of others, even those whom they do not know.

They want to fit in, they want to be accepted

Now if that really is the behaviour of the world today, I certainly would not like to imagine how the world turns out 50 years from now.
