This quote is a spark of hope for me because oftentimes to me, life is a glass half empty. I don't like surprises or new environments and seemingly, I expect the worst out of every situation. I feel reassured when I think of this quote because it reminds me that a situation may turn out better than I expected and that everything will be okay.

I argued that Shakespeare's message in the play was to express the unreliability of the will, and how a decision by the will ultimately causes a tragic downfall. While writing the essay, I learned more about my tendencies and took a lesson from my own arguments. My main point was that people who suppress impulsive behavior and try to think rationally with the intellect will reap great rewards while those who act on a whim will suffer dire consequences. People who rationalize using the will usually forget that other people may suffer the consequences that they chose to put up with, like how Hamlet throws Rosencrantz and Guildenstern under the bus. Altogether, the will leads to selfish thinking while the intellect is more rational and considerate of others. 
The lesson that I took out of writing the essay is that I should always think before I act, because impulsive decisions are bad decisions (and I tend to make many impulsive decisions). It's always better to stay safe and take more time to think out a plan with the intellect than to do something because you want to.]]> 2016-05-23 16:57:06 UTC https://padlet.com/liuestella/PersonalPortfolio/wish/112172191 liuestella https://padlet.com/liuestella/PersonalPortfolio/wish/112206132 May 10 2014]]> 2016-05-23 19:58:46 UTC https://padlet.com/liuestella/PersonalPortfolio/wish/112206132 liuestella https://padlet.com/liuestella/PersonalPortfolio/wish/112208878 2016-05-23 20:17:12 UTC https://padlet.com/liuestella/PersonalPortfolio/wish/112208878 liuestella https://padlet.com/liuestella/PersonalPortfolio/wish/112228603 2016-05-23 23:52:24 UTC https://padlet.com/liuestella/PersonalPortfolio/wish/112228603 liuestella https://padlet.com/liuestella/PersonalPortfolio/wish/112228650 Summer of 2013]]> 2016-05-23 23:52:52 UTC https://padlet.com/liuestella/PersonalPortfolio/wish/112228650 liuestella https://padlet.com/liuestella/PersonalPortfolio/wish/112228685 August 2014 ]]> 2016-05-23 23:53:24 UTC https://padlet.com/liuestella/PersonalPortfolio/wish/112228685 liuestella https://padlet.com/liuestella/PersonalPortfolio/wish/112228929 July 2014]]> 2016-05-23 23:55:48 UTC https://padlet.com/liuestella/PersonalPortfolio/wish/112228929 liuestella https://padlet.com/liuestella/PersonalPortfolio/wish/112228964 Summer of 2013]]> 2016-05-23 23:56:15 UTC https://padlet.com/liuestella/PersonalPortfolio/wish/112228964 liuestella https://padlet.com/liuestella/PersonalPortfolio/wish/112229004 February Break 2013]]> 2016-05-23 23:56:38 UTC https://padlet.com/liuestella/PersonalPortfolio/wish/112229004 liuestella https://padlet.com/liuestella/PersonalPortfolio/wish/112229088 December 2015]]> 2016-05-23 23:57:38 UTC https://padlet.com/liuestella/PersonalPortfolio/wish/112229088 liuestella https://padlet.com/liuestella/PersonalPortfolio/wish/112229132 July 2014]]> 2016-05-23 23:58:07 UTC https://padlet.com/liuestella/PersonalPortfolio/wish/112229132 liuestella https://padlet.com/liuestella/PersonalPortfolio/wish/112229249 December 2015
