A Movie Based On True Story That Inspires Me :)

Do you love to watch movies guys? I bet most of you really really really really enjoy watching movies,dramas and so on during your leisure time and can even name every characters, favourite parts, etc. that you had watched right? That is absolutely contrast with me as I do not really like to watch movies or even the TV! I don't know whether it is kind of rare or weird for you but it is the fact because I easily felt boring when I watched them. But, there was a movie that I had watched recently entitled Patch Adams and guess what guys.... I was able to finish the movie ! *big claps* (haha) It is based on true story and absolutely inspired me a lot and gave me an injection towards being a successful doctor soon ! This is really amazing :)

Okay guys, lets me summarize the story.............

------Patch Adams (Robin Williams) is a simple man before entering a mental asylum, where he started all the jokes that led to touching lives of sick people. At the peak of his life, wherein he was still unable to find the missing piece of his own puzzle, he decided to disguise a mentally-retarded man to explore the peculiar world of the institution. With the purpose of getting to know the needs and characteristics of patients; he wants to be a medical doctor, moreover he wants to help other people.

Upon entering the asylum, truth slapped him on his face that such people called "doctors" were mistreating their patients. Conventionally, they just cure these people for the sake of doing their jobs, ignoring the most important needs of these ill people, which are guidance, understanding and acceptance.

This moved him to deviate from the line. He started to know the patients and made him close to them through his humour. Alarming the hospital officials, thus making consecutive steps to stop Hunter spreading craziness in the institution. He sings, dances, acts and touches patients every single day. Making fun of it but seriously concerned about each patient who smiles but deep inside cries. He talked to every patient treating them as normal beings and praising them through funny ideas and thoughts. Narrating to them all the beautiful things in the world including love.

But as a saying goes, beginning has its end. This wonderful beginning was ended and leaving memories to these patients was a man with an awesome passion and dedication not to a job but to a work and vocation. He was thrown out of the asylum upon knowing that he was not really sick. To continue his mission, he enrolled at Virginia Medical College and studied. After finishing his course, he founded the Genduit Clinic, wherein patients were cured through the use of humour. This peculiar man, however, was made accountable by experts in the field of psychiatry for illegally treating patients.

Sometimes it is better to be different. It takes a lot but it also gains a lot. Taking risk is like putting your foot at the edge of a high mountain with two chances of staying alive or falling dead. Yet its result may change not just your life but lives of people who need that foot to be a better and meaningful individual.The dedication, passion and courage of Hunter Patch Adams are traits that cannot be discounted, not mentioning the humour that he shared to his patients. It sounds silly but that is a truth that serves as an inspiration and motivation to physicians around the globe. ------

And, that's it ! So guys,can you found what are the moral values from the story that makes me really inspires and quite changing my life actually ? Hmmm let me list nine of them.

1. Compassion and ultimately wins heart     

"you treat a disease you win you lose, you treat the person I guarantee you will win no matter what the outcome"

2. Know the job 

"doctor's job is improving the quality of life not only delaying the death so focus on the core job"

3. Right focus

"if you focus on the problem you can't see the solution. so focus on the solution"

4. See what others ignore

"see what no one else sees. see what everyone chooses not to see... out of fear, conformity or laziness. rise above mediocrity"

5. You are the captain of your destiny

"now you have the ability to keep me from graduating. you can keep me from getting the title and the white coat. but you can't control my spirit gentleman"

6. Be fearless

"instead of locking yourself up in your cage of fears and crying over past heartaches, embarrassment and failure, treat them as your teacher for improvement and success. every failure has seed of success built in it"

7. Own yourself

"you are the first buyer of yourself"

8.Cheer up others

"when people feel down and low, help them to move up. don't go down with them.they will pull you down further and and both of you will end up feeling inferior. motivation is contagious so do de-motivation"

9. Little thing for you can be big things to others

"small gestures has big impact"

From this story, I really hope that someday I can also use it to help and touch other lives.  And it is very worthy of praises and compliments. Let us be another Patch Adams and at the same time find our own hero who would make our lives more exciting and more meaningful. Feel free to spend your time watching this movie and share your opinion later on about it :)

"Our destiny lies in our hands. Some can turn it up while some can turn it down. But remember that we are the only one who can turn it around" -Dr. Patch Adams
