" Fair is foul, and foul is fair". Those are the famous words involved and written by William Shakespeare in his book Macbeth. These words were said by the three witches as they suddenly appeared while they were walking. Even just simple words of the three witches affected the good-looking and kind man with a name of Macbeth. What do this words exactly mean?
In my opinion, let us define what is fair and what is foul in our life. Most of us think that our life is nothing but a game against each other. Being fair is something that we will not do anything just to profit himself against others. But, foul is nothing but a contradictory to being fair. He will do everything even doing worse things expected by our minds. The only goal to his life is nothing but to take an advantage to others he considers as an enemy.
What is that quote exactly means? For my opinion, it tells us that even a good person can be affected by the words and opinions by other persons. They will slowly be consumed by greediness and their belief will be different. As what was said, that person might think that being fair is not enough or is not right for a person to believe because as what I've said, their only goal is to reach the top even if the consequence will affect others. Also, they will think that taking advantage to others is nothing but a self-nature of himself since he will think that it's alright or it's just a part of the game of his life.
Even mere words can actually affect someones mind who focuses on achieving more of his goals, mostly those that set their minds in this goal. The only way to prevent thinking that thing is in ourselves. Neither someone can help you understanding those things. Only you yourself can find the answers that lies within you.

Climax Unto It's Top- A Midsummer Night's Dream
One of the finest piece of the famous writer William Shakespeare is " A Midsummer Night's Dream". For some, this piece is lacking of somewhat story and the flow of the story. Also, it is one of the piece of Shakespeare which is somewhat a fantasy since it involves fairies. It is filled with magic.
Once, our teacher told that what if there's a possibility that we're just being cast by the spell of the fairies and Shakespeare and that book isn't actually true? Even though it is somewhat confusing, still it is a great work of his.
We all know that in a certain story or an event, one says that a certain parts is the climax. But did we feel the excitement or the rush of the events in that part specifically? As for what I've experienced, we all have different climax in a story. The difference is the amount of impact it gives us which makes it the climax. We always feel the excitement, the thrill of the story mainly in the climax.
In the piece, which do you think is the climax of it? Well, this is the climax for me. The climax started when Puck mistakenly placed the potion to Lysander that caused him to fall in love to Helena. I know that it is not the part where it gives the excitement. It just made me think of the ways on how it will end since Lysander fell in love with Helena. But, it is yet not the climax of the climax as it seems. The best part was when the heat of the argument started to pile up between Lysander and Demetrius. I already assumed that there will be a big fight between them and with Helena and Hermia. Also, tons of questions piled up on my head. Will their fight end? If yes, how will it end? Will there be a possibility that one of them will die? But, I guess I'm not that satisfied since Puck prevented the fight to happen. At least, it's a good thing since there's no bloodshed in the play. Also, Puck fixed the mistake that he made.
For me, I like those parts where my head starts to think some questions that will be answered as I read the story. If I did not find any questions while reading it, I will find it boring and will quit reading about it. But since it gave me the attention that I need, I finished the play and somewhat made me satisfied.

To Forgive is to Forget
When a certain person did something to you which made an impact either in your physical or emotional condition, he/she asks you for forgiveness. But first of all, what is forgiveness? We humans forgive someone who did something to you. But there's a saying "to forgive is to forget". Is it really an applicable one?
An instance in my life can be somehow familiarized with this saying. There was a time when I cannot retain myself from keeping the questions spinning in my head about a certain event with someone. One day, I cannot retain it anymore. I asked her about those questions. I didn't think that she will be disturbed so much that she felt so much pain in herself. I only thought of myself. It felt like I was trying to escape on it. That's when I realized that I was wrong. I asked for her forgiveness and she told me just to forget about it. I know, that it is too difficult for her to forget it because it brought her so much pain. But after that, we still became friends. I still don't know if it is still bothering her, but I told myself that I will NEVER do it again.
"To Forgive is to Forget". Just simple words but possess a high amount of meaning. I know, that in some events, it is difficult to forgive someone,especially if it is something too heavy to carry by the receiver. But with these saying, we can forgive a person by simply forgetting the sin or the fault that he/she has done. It is just like we will just obliterate it. We will just let our emotions flow and we will allow that event to be washed away as the droplets continue to fall from the sky. It is a good way since it will make the friendship to be united once again easily, but the question is, is it really easy to allow it to disappear?
For my opinion, it is somehow not quite that right. For me, we will not forget the thing that a person did to you, instead that event will be a lesson for me and that person not to do it again. I'm not saying that I will not forgive him. It is not easy just to forget it and will just remove it from your feelings. That's why for me, it is not right.
"The things two people do to each other they remember. If they stay together, it's not because they forget; it's because they forgive", Demi Moore. This is just one of the quotes that are simple in its form but with a deeper meaning and interpretation in our life. I know that forgiving a person is a difficult thing to do. It takes your own emotion to build up to think about it. For me, the best way for this is to avoid doing such faults to someone that will hurt them.

Being Athletic or Intellectual?
What do you want to be? Athletic or an Intellectual Person? But with a consequence in which you cannot perform much physical activities if you will be an intellectual ones in contrast with the . Will you risk your physical attributes for a greater understanding in life if you can choose or your intellectual capacity for an incredible strength compared to a normal person. First of all, what will be the advantage and disadvantage when compare to each other? Which will take the better side? Which will you choose? Well, let's find out.
Intellectual and analytically thinking skills are mainly possessed by an intellectual person. They can solve different problems easily, even with the complicated ones. They also have skills in deducing and creating ideas on a certain topic easily. They are heavily skilled in Science and Mathematical places and also with other subjects as well. But, we all know that we all have intelligence in ourselves, but the intellectual persons are those that can actually learn and use their skill and accepting things for a better understanding on a certain idea or object. Let's say that we can achieve the idea King Solomon had as we all know. Also, they can solve a heart-throbbing and a nose bleeding problems which normally people can't do. But, even if they don't have the capabilities an athletic one have, they also acquire strength and endurance to things.
Let's now go to the athletic persons. They are the type of persons with a power and endurance that can withstand physical activities normally. They can do certain activities within a certain time. But first of all, they need to have lots of practices and exercises to do that activity smoothly. Similarly as with the intellectual person, they also work hard to achieve more performances. Even with an athletic persons, they also acquire intelligence in order to calculate and to have a strong strategy for the activity that they will do.
We cannot say that if we will choose to be an intellectual person instead of an athletic person, we are just a weak person in terms of physical activities. We can use this intelligence to strategically aim for the goal on that certain activity. Even with a use of brain without that much of physical strengths, we can still win at it.
If I were to choose from these two, I will choose to be academically excelled than with an athletic capability. One of my reason was already mentioned. I want to be a type of person that can contribute either in terms of Science and Mathematical knowledge for a good cause. Also, if you were intelligent enough, you can think of ways to solve many problems, in terms of life problems.
In my opinion, an academically excelled person is better than that of an athlete.
