I don't know if you would agree with me but the most famous line of this film would have probably been "Life is like a box of chocolates, you'll never know what you're gonna get". I watched this flick when I was little, and I must admit that ever since the day I understood what the line meant, I lived by it. We should all learn to live our lives one day at a time, learn to value it and value the people around. We should all be mindful of what we do, because at the end of the day we'll never know if it's already time to go.

It also means that life is unpredictable and we are all given different challenges and paths to follow. Also, you could take it quite literally as well that a box of chocolates is made up of different kinds ...some with cherries, nuts, dark chocolate, white chocolate...we are all made up of different things and all look different on the outside as well as the inside.

I could not agree more. Not all chocolates inside the box would taste good, but it's all part of it. :)

I too watched this movie. I enjoyed it very much. If you think about it, life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get. Yes, you may have a routine every day, but some where, some time during your day something different will happen that did not happen yesterday.

I love that quote from the movie Run Forest Run. It echos a very important grain of wisdom regarding human life. I would have to agree with this quote because it is true that life is full of surprises and uncertainty. We cannot always expect that things will turn out the way we wanted it to or the way we have planned to because in a blink of an eye, things are not what they seem, hence we should always be ready with uncertainties.

Okay I am laughing right now with that Run Forest Run title I dished out. What am I thinking? Of course the title is Forest Gump. This reminds me that I haven't had coffee yet and I am already here on myLot.

Life is full of surprises. There are some twists and turns that will make or break us as a person. I believe that all we have to do is hold on tight to what we believe, listen to others and live as if it will be our last. Enjoy life, pray and work hard for a good life and always find time to embrace our loved ones tightly and show that we always care. If we put this into our hearts and put this into action, we will be strong enough to face any thing that life has to offer. Surprise!
