Carpe Diem...It is often misunderstood as 'Enjoy this moment' but its real meaning is 'seize the day'. It appears a lot in the movie 'Dead Poets Society', in the scene when teacher John Kitting(may be wrong spelling:)) gives an advice to his students.
Of course I felt this quote quite touching, I am feeling more and more precious after I became KMLA freshman. In KMLA, according to the 'name value' as a KMLA student, there are a lot of responsibilities and also a lot of tasks to do. It is very challenging. One minute, even a second is a gold in here. When surrounded by numerous homework or quizes waiting in 'next day', I sometimes feel very lethargic and gloomy. So instead of paying attention to this moment, I often imagine 'rosey future' that I want to live without putting a lot of effort; handsome boyfriend, nice house, myself enjoying the campus life.
But after reading this quote for several times, I reminded the importance of 'present'. As the name presents, this moment is a 'present' that is equally given to us. And I have a right to enjoy and use this 'present' effectively. While preparing for mid-term, I should also remember another quote ' A good plan, violently executed now, is better than a perfect plan next week.'
