Quotable quote (Jack)

I recently watched Robin Williams' 1996 movie, Jack.(downloaded the torrent for sis' sake..for her psych major)

The movie is about a boy with a unique aging disorder: one that makes him age 4 times faster than normal. Movie picks up when Jack (Robin Williams) is 10 years old, but looks 40. He tries to go to public school for the first time, and tries to become friends with kids his own age.(imdb.com)

napanood ko na siya before...I just watched it again with my sister till around 3am-ish, right after matapos ang download...haha, martyr na kapatid?nyeh?weh?di naman ui. hehe.

anyways,  i wanna share this quote from the movie (when Jack was giving out his valedictorian speech):

"We find ourselves remembering the good times, and trying to forget the bad times. And as we start to look ahead, we start to worry.

We think "What am I going to do? Where am I going to be in ten years?" But I say to you, "Hey, look at me!" Please, don't worry so much. Because when you get right down to it, none of us have very long on this earth.

Life is fleeting, like a shooting star in the sky. Whenever you see a shooting star light up the sky with its brilliance, think of me, and try to make each and every moment of our lives as spectacular as possible. I know I did. I made it, Mom. I'm a grown-up. "

ahw. inspiring. nuff said.
