"You may be able to contribute a line of poetry"
"We don't read and write poetry because it's fun.
We read and write poetry because we are part of the human race.
Human beings are passionate.
Medicine, Law, Industry and Commerce, Engineering······ These are enough to support the noble and necessary pursuit of a person's life.
//
But poetry, beauty, romance, love······
These are the meaning of our existence.
//
Whitman once wrote,
Yes! I! Yes! Life! These are the problems of constant reincarnation
A crowd without faith and without a steady stream
The whole city is full of ignorance
What is the meaning of life in it, the ego? Life?
//
Answer:
It's because you're here.
Your existence itself is life itself. (In the video I watched, the translator's translation of this sentence is: Life is present and manifest.) He translates it better. )”

The great drama is about to be played,
You might want to contribute a line of poetry. ”
- The above is from the movie "Dead Poets Society", I saw the cut of this movie on a little English app, thanks to the translator's wonderful translation, I only fine-tuned some of the text according to my own preferences.
"The great drama is about to be played,
You might want to contribute a line of poetry. ”
- What would your verses be? And what about mine?
I've always wanted to see this movie, but I'm sorry I haven't been able to make it. My memory of this film is that it was supposed to be a great literature teacher, teaching young students poetry, teaching them freedom, and finally the students revolting and finally being suppressed by the dogmatists who control society.
I think the incendiary momentum of the sentence "a great drama is about to be staged, you may be able to contribute a line of poetry" is too strong, on the one hand, it means that a new change is about to be set off, and people with lofty ideals are doing it, don't you do something about it? On the one hand, you actually have the ability to contribute one or two lines of poetry and make an important contribution, don't you want to?
I like this sentence, maybe because of my understanding of the first aspect of responsibility, and the second aspect of their recognition of me.
Today's Xiaolai: The advertisements that many businesses on Mother's Day that touched me the most were the slogan of the series of posters made by Coca-Cola on Mother's Day, "You are accustomed to the power of mother, but it is beyond imagination", and IKEA's Bangso children's lounge chair and a Weige adult lounge chair made "Looks like you, which is the best praise for me".
Perhaps when I say that Coca-Cola's slogan moved me, I should cite two copies of their posters:
1. 8 months pregnant
weight increased by 36 pounds,
I also have to hold 4 barrels of pure joy for two months.
——[Small Word Slogan] The power of your mother is what you are used to, but it is beyond imagination.
Note: (Net content of pure Yue mineral water bottle: 4.5L*4
2. In the past few years with children
Sweat and tears shed,
Can be filled with Coca-Cola China
Bottles for all categories of products.
——[Small Word Slogan] The power of your mother is what you are used to, but it is beyond imagination.
Note: In 2018, more than 60 beverages were sold in Coca-Cola China.

Putting it up like this, do we really start to feel like our mom has done such a great thing without us noticing? And while updating our cognition, they have done a good job of successfully achieving the memory and favorability of the brand that the brand wants.
