Our dreams, affection, attachment, fondness and love is something that we can’t let go easily, it is already built in our hearts that no one can change it. In the movie Dead Poets Society (1989), it shows us how parents wanted their child to be successful in the future, they are fascinated and captivated. Mr. Perry’s standard is the reason why his son committed suicide. He can’t endure the pressure his father putted on him, he can’t handle of being a follower in his father’s dream. Experience in life and made him who he was are primarily considerations that psychoanalytic approach is involved in the story. He lived his life in following his father but because of the help of Mr. Keiting he able to achieve his dream even without his parents guidance. Seize the day while you can and enjoy what the day will gave you.

I conclude that do what makes you happy, don’t be afraid to reach your dream even some are pulling you down. We all have a great acceptance but you must trust that your beliefs are very unique in your own way. Discover things that you are not familiar while you can do it, try something new. We will soon stop breathing so don’t waste time and do whatever you want. Committing suicide is nothing, it’s not the solution of everything you will just show to everyone that you surrendered. Trust God’s process in everything you do or you decide, he will give you the best result and a very good product of success.
