Keep Moving Forward

Keep Moving Forward

Pondering on a quote from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., I’m wondering if he is talking about human development or his fight on civil rights. I think maybe the latter. But we keep moving forward as we develop into a full-grown human being. From crawling to walking and to running, we keep moving forward to develop and learn new skills.

Having gone through the topics about Human Development, I can’t help just tell myself that I went through all of these in my life stages and still am. I regard these study materials as a guide to better understand the things that had influence and made me of who I am today. I’m not yet done and can continuously develop myself with the elements that I can control and the unexpected.

It is fascinating whenever you read quotes from great human beings and good movies that communicate the very essence of human development you can identify with it. This is because we are still developing. In a Disney movie titled “ Meet the Robinsons” , Wilbur keeps saying, “Keep moving forward.” It’s his dad’s motto. Then Wilbur explains how his dad built everything in Robinson Industries, including Carl and the time machines. Through each failure, his dad keeps moving forward. The film ends with a great quote from Walt Disney himself: “Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things… and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.”

We need to Unlearn all the bad habits we develop while we are growing up, Learn new things and skills, Relearn the things that made you stronger. This is the URL of my development as I am now.
