Invictus " Inspiratonal" Poem/Quote Response

A quote which has impacted the decisions I make in my life is:

 "If not us, then who? If not now, then when?" 

by John Lewis. This quote not only provided me with inspiration and hope in difficult times but also, resulted me into thinking deeper about myself. This quote constantly reminds me to not waste a single minuscule moment of the essence of opportunities which is in front of my very two eyes. I found these few lines by Lewis, quite inspiring because I believe that it is very easy to miss small opportunities which can help us to develop as a person. By keeping our eyes open and by taking initiative to every opportunity available to us possible, only then will we be successful and content with ourselves. If we never tried, or did something different then when will we do it? We need to learn from the difficult obstacles that come into our life, that keep coming to us like a continuous game of domino's. This quote can be implied to the context of creating a greener environment for instance, if someone did not recycle or throw their garbage away now then who will and when? Its all a matter of being proactive and taking charge of your life.

By being able to live in the moment and take charge, one becomes successful.

Ophelia Post-Mortem Monologue

Ophelia:

Ophelia has decided to suicide by the means of drowning after
she hears of her fathers death and that Hamlet killed him.
    Dearest Hamlet how depressed has't thee been to knoweth that I hast drowned.  I could not bear that thee hadst hath killed mine father.  I could see no more happiness in mine life. Mine father means the world to me. How dare thee killeth mine frail father? After many suicidal thoughts, I hath decided to finally end mine life. After mine death, I cameth to realize Hamlet hath killed mine father by accident. Still I am confused. How could this be an accident? Killing is not an easy duty. What wast the real reason? I want to knoweth the answers. I wilt not rest in peace until I doth not findeth the reason behind this accident.
