Oh, the Places You'll Go

Do you love tales? I do. I adore tales so much since I was a kid. Though I don't know many of tales, I believe that they are not only about happy endings and fun stories, there's always a valuable lesson in every story we read.

By the way, I have one thing to be shared to you now. Oh, the Places You'll Go by Dr Seuss is one of my favorite tale, and I just knew it when I already 18. So, I watched movie "The Lorax by Dr. Seuss." I loved the story of it, then I came up search about the film and I got that Dr. Seuss is a beloved children's book author. (Before The Lorax, there were also Dr. Seuss' books have been made into movies, How the Grinch Stole Christmas in 2000,  The Cat in the Hat in 2003, and Horton Hears a Who in 2008). Then, I went to youtube and found this story, Oh, the Places You'll Go.



I also found this video by Burning Man, covered this story beautifully.



This is a children's story, but I think it also can be for teenagers, adult, everyone. It inspires me a lot. The story teach us about a thing or two about life, that we can go wherever we want and be whoever we want. Further, we gonna face a lot things that may not always go on our way. Sometimes, we gonna go to the worthless condition where we're just waiting...

This is my favorite line of the story: 
Be your name Buxbaum or Bixby or Bray or Mordecai Ali Van Allen O’Shea, you’re of to Great Places! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting. So…get on your way!
I'm just smiling right after watched this story, wondering every precious words in it.
I hope you'll gonna be inspired too :)
