“Sonnet 116”, is one of the famous sonnets of William Shakespeare’s. The sonnet 116
describe the trials of true love faces, but also how no matter what, love is an ever-present
hope. Love is constantly being tested through outside forces, and time’s unavoidable
influence about it. Love that is not faded in time or vanished, because if it does, it means that
it was never true love. For love to work and be strong they must “admit impediments” as time
goes on, and circumstances occur. These impediments can be the breaking point for a couple,
or they can grow in confidence through them. “love that alters when its alteration finds” will
never have the strength to face life’s many obstacles together. These obstacles will include
attempts to bends love “with the remover to remove”, through things such as families and
distance. Love “that looks on tempests” will fall into the temptation of false love promises.
Along with people, time wants fully influence love. As long as “loves not time fool”, the love
has a chance at survival. Time is an ever-present clock that can usually wear down on a
relationship, even when love is “within his bending sickles compass come”, the test don’t end
as long as love grows, there will always be challenges influencing it, from the moment it
begins to the moment integrity starts. For lovers, love s an ever-present hope for the rest of
the world. “it is an ever-fixed mark”. Love “is the star” that gets us through the mess things
may feel like. The special feeling “worth’s unknown, though its height be taken” because no
one else can ever be truly understand two people devotion for each other. love also give “rosy
lips and cheeks” to the people it effects. Love shows life in one of the purest forms. Love will
“bear out, even to the edge of doom”, even to the last breath and beyond if it is true love. “if
these be error upon me prove I never writ nor no man ever love” the last paragraph tells the
true sense of being in love. The love that is true in all forms.

The parable of talents is all about the servant and master, the master gave a considerable
amount of money to each servant, in keeping with the servant’s abilities. The first two
servants were faithful to care for their master’s money. They were rewarded accordingly. The
third servant lacked faith and the master saw this as worthlessness. He lost what he had and
was punished.
From the passage above, we conclude that God gives talents to every person. These talents
vary from person to person. However, we have to give account of these gifts to their owner.
Since Jesus was referring to the Kingdom of God in the parable, we learn that our lives are
not ours to live according to our wishes. As servants of Christ, we are called to be productive.
All of our health, money, time, and abilities have come from Him, and we are tasked with
putting them to use to benefit the kingdom. We owe our lives and wealth to God! As
Christians, we are waiting for the return of Jesus Christ to earth. We are like those stewards,
faithfully using our Master’s assets while waiting for His return, and then it will be too late.
It's not enough to say, "I didn’t waste what you gave me, Lord." We want to demonstrate how
we have used the gifts and abilities we have been given to benefit the kingdom. God desires
that we be risk takers who share His commitment. That's how we'll enter into the happiness of
the Master.
The two servants that used their talents wisely received similar greetings but not rewards. For
their faithfulness, they were both commended. I believe this is the highpoint of the parable. It
separated those that used their talents wisely, irrespective of the profits made, from the third
servant, who disobeyed simple instructions of the master.
There are different stages in our life. One of these stages is being a student. Student life,
is it as easy as it looks, or is it hard that some have chosen to just give up and stay out of
school? Sometimes you just wanted to quit and give up on our dreams because of the
persecution that you received among students, teachers or even your relatives. Student life,
it’s definitely hard, but it doesn’t show us the reality of life, they judge us by the grades we
received, this numbers that described what kind of students are we, how can you be so good
at this course? How can you be good at different subject?, it let us believe that we are not
good enough, yet we struggle everyday just to get the grades that we, ourselves would be glad
to show to our parents, as Albert Einstein said: “ everybody is a genius, but if you judge a
fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid You can’t
do it, you’re stupid? How are you supposed to graduate if you’re not good at all? These is the
things you usually hear coming from other people or even your relatives, I myself don’t like
the degree program or the course I’m studying right now.
But being a student means that you are lucky enough that your parents can send you to
school, other kids can’t even afford to go to school not even in public schools, whatever your
struggling right now at your subject or course? It will just make you stronger and will teach
you how to handle things in the real world, after college for sure, the struggling that students
are facing are nothing compared to what working adults are facing, while studying do your
best, if you fail just stand up, don’t let others define who you are by your grades, show them
that you can surpass the criticism, education and learning are important so I’ll just leave
another quote from Albert Einstein “ once you stop learning, you’ll start dying”
