Exodus for my research paper...

This will be the last journal I write regarding to my research paper as I have already completed the touch up needed for my paper. Phew! You will never know how I feel at this moment. Words can never describe the ecstatic feeling grow inside me at this very moment. This is my very first piece of research paper and I have completed it with my sweat and hardship. I am confident to say that for the next research paper or thesis which I will be completing in my master degree, I will definitely produce a better piece with less difficulty as the foundation is now in my hands.

“5 people You Meet in Heaven” by Mitch Albom is indeed a novel worth reading as I explore deeper into this novel due to my paper, I slowly discovered the concealed essence within the book. After completing this research paper, my perception of value of life have changed greatly and I am glad that I have found this book as it enlightened me in a way I never though I will be.

I used to think that human beings are vicious and selfish creatures who think of no one else except themselves. Therefore, one must strive with all his might to survive in this world. Nothing else will be more important than proving yourself to the world. Well, I am so wrong! After reading through this book thoroughly, I was finally made to understand that life is all about living together; the inter-relatedness among human being. We need to live life so that we know what we are doing, reflect on our deeds, repent for mistakes done, forgive and ask for forgiveness and on top of all, accept reality. We are what we are and this is the fact that will never change. If only we can practice all these in our daily lives, the world will be a much better place to live in.
