On July 21, 1969, Apoollo 11 became the first manned space mission to successfully land on the Moon. the space shuttle laucnched from Kennedy Space Center, carrying three enthusiastic astronauts Neil Armstrong, Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, and Michael Collins into orbit. On June 20, Armstrong and Aldrin landed their small lunar module in the Sea of Tranquilty. When Armstrong made his desced to the Moon's surface, the people on earth hold their breath and watched wit great anticipation. He then made the inspirational and one of the most known line, " That's one small step for (a) man, one giant leap mankind." Over 600 million excited people rejoiced at the sight of this historical event on television. Armstrong and Aldrin marked their remarkable achievement by planting an American flag in the soil to signify the Americans as the winner of the space race. Just before they returned to their shuttle, the astronauts installed a plaque that bore the signature of each astronaut and President Richard Nixon as well as an inscription that marked their achievement. The inscription read, "Here Men from planet Earth first set Foot Upon the Moon, July 1969 A.D. We came in Peace For All Mankind." Which marked the magnificent expedition to an end.

Why Keep A Diary

Diary is like a mean of record keeping. For me personally diary is something that i get to express my inner self. it's what holds my darkest secrets where i would've not been able to share with anyone.Lots of times i would have thoughts racing through my mind, alot of these thoughts seemed important to me at the moment but might not be as important in the future. However, i still want to record these thoughts down at the moment because they were extremely important. These raging thoughts are not suitable for the eyes of other people. It's actually quite embarassing if these crazy thoughts were leaked out. With a dairy, i could record these thoughts down and find a mean of release of exhaust. Such as hated of someone or ambition of something that people should not know. Keeping a diary could also improve a person's writing. As they write more, they could develop their own style and in the end develop a distinct style.

Macbeth Soliloquy explanation

        The soliloquy of the dagger appeared in Act 2 scene 2. It is recited by Macbeth in front of King Duncan’s room. It is quite significant since this is the first guilt inspired hallucination that Macbeth will be encountered. His vision of seeing the blade in the air, the blood all signifies what will happen and what it meant. His mind is starting to wander and this scene marks a specific transition of the mind of Macbeth. There are all sorts of metaphor and comparisons in the play that eludes to the scenes and event in the play such as the ringing of the bell. Also, through this scene we see the tragic flaw in him flowing out even more. He is conflicted on the thoughts of murdering the king. His conscience is having a battle with his ambitions as he mentions if this is “ a false creation from the heat oppressed brain”. Then he shows more determination in the end of the soliloquy but in the same time fearful of the fact that what would happen if he is caught. This is a very important scene as we see how Macbeth’s mind is being torn apart and self conflicting, which leads on to the later events in the play.

Should we Seize the Day

Yes, some may say we should seize the day when we are young, but why? Death is a reckoning that waits for no one, when your day comes, its going to be right in front of you. You never know when death will be knocking at your doorstep, therefore live your life to the fullest. Then comes the idea of living life. Everyday is a present, tomorrow is a mystery but today is a gift. It's something free, why not use it the best way you can? Fill your time with meaningful things such as an activity. If you want to rest, so be it, fill it with a meaningful nap or a self reflection session that slowly leads you to your sleep. Why daydream and stares into space when there's so many things outside for you to experience? Seize the day, grasp every opportunity because each time you encounter something new, you have just learned something. A man should learn and acquire wisdom until he dies.

What is The Role of Death In Life

Death, serves as a reckoning, a countdown for me. How much time i still have until i achieve all the things i want to in life. It's not scary for me to die, death is merely a experience for me. It's something i even kind of get wierdly excited while anxious just by thinking about dying. Does it hurt? alot? or is it a sweet pain that just numbs you and you don't feel anything. It also serves as a answer for all the things that we wonder in life. The big question in the world since the beginning of mankind is the question of what happens after we die? Religion splits on these views, people write countless things and legends all base on this idea. I want to know if all these things that we imagine and predict are true. Do we really go to heaven? Is there really a final judgment and which God is real? Is Jesus real or is Osiris real. You see, all these ideas of which one is the real God are all societal pressure. Who would have though that we have a man name jesus during the Greek Classical Era, they would have called it Blasphemy. Now, if we say we worship the old gods, people laugh or say they are just myths. You know, jesus might be a myth too.
