It's your funeral:
The other person has made a decision that you think is bad. However, it is their choice; it is their funeral.

Quotation
Our doubts are traitors and make us lose that often,
we could win,
by simple fear of risk.

Same Mistake - James Blunt
Saw the world turning in my sheets and once again I cannot sleep.Walk out the door and up the street; look at the stars beneath my feet.
Remember rights that I did wrong, so here I go.
Hello, hello. There is no place I cannot go.
My mind is muddy but my heart is heavy. Does it show?
I lose the track that loses me, so here I go.
And so I sent some men to fight, and one came back at dead of night.
Said he'd seen my enemy. Said he looked just like me,
So I set out to cut myself and here I go.
I'm not calling for a second chance,
I'm screaming at the top of my voice.
Give me reason but don't give me choice.'
Cause I'll just make the same mistake again.
And maybe someday we will meet, and maybe talk and not just speak.
Don't buy promises 'cause, there are no promises I keep.
And my reflection troubles me, so here I go.
I'm not calling for a second chance,
I'm screaming at the top of my voice.
Give me reason but don't give me choice.
Cause I'll just make the same mistake.
I'm not calling for a second chance,
I'm screaming at the top of my voice.
Give me reason but don't give me choice.'
Cause I'll just make the same mistake again.
A CHRISTMAS CAROL (A Book Review)
Charles Dickens was born in England in 1812. He didn’t have a proper school education, but he liked reading books on his own. He enjoyed fairy tales and adventures stories. When he was a child he worked hard. He liked to help the poor. He didn’t like to see people, especially children, suffering.
Charles Dickens became a journalist and his most famous and best loved novel is A Christmas Carol. He died in 1870 and the England’s felt his death.
The story A Christmas Carol tells about London. In the city there was much poverty and many adults and children had to work very much. People didn’t have time to celebrate Christmas. The story shows it.
Scrooge is a character who didn’t like Christmas, for him Christmas was “Humbug”. Scrooge was a man who lived in London. He was a cold, greedy, old man. He was a person who nobody liked. People didn’t greet him. He had an office and a clerk. The clerk’s name was Bob Cratchit. Scrooge’s office was quite dark and Bob worked with difficulty.
Scrooge had a business partner in the past. His partner called Marley. Marley died seven years ago and the office was only Scrooge. He lived in Marley’s old apartment. It was very rundown and it was so gloomy that nobody else wanted to live there. Darkness was cheap and Scrooge liked cheap things.
At Christmas Eve Scrooge is nephew’s wanted to wish him “A Merry Christmas”, but he didn’t like it. He wasn’t generous. He was very unkind. He didn’t think of helping people and he wanted Bob to go to work on Christmas Day.
Scrooge had a surprise at Christmas Eve. His old friend Marley appeared. Scrooge was scared because Marley’s ghost was dragging a chain and he was crying too. Marley said that he was wearing the chain that he made in his life. Marley asked Scrooge to be very generous and kind because Scrooge could escape his fate and he said that three ghosts would visit him and he would have an opportunity to be a good person.
The first ghost appeared to. It was the height of a child but it looked like an old man and it was the ghost of Christmas Past. The ghost made Scrooge remember his childhood and youth. He was very happy when he was a child and young. He remembered when he celebrated the Christmas Day. It was very nice.
The second ghost appeared to. It was the ghost of Christmas Present. It had a kind face and a cheerful voice. They visited many homes. Scrooge saw the celebration at Bob’s house. Bob was very poor. He had four children. Bob had one child who was very sick. His name’s was Tim. In spite difficulties Bob’s family celebrated the Christmas Day. This date was very important for them. Scrooge and the ghost visited many homes and they saw some celebration of Christmas Present. Scrooge saw two children. They represented the Ignorance and the Poverty.
The last ghost appeared and showed the future to Scrooge because it was the ghost of the Future. Scrooge saw the end his life. He was very alone and he didn’t have any friends. Scrooge was surprised with his ending. Scrooge saw his funeral and nobody crying for him. Scrooge said the ghost that his life would be different. He understood his mistakes. He wanted another chance. Scrooge promised to be a different man and the last ghost disappeared. Scrooge never saw the ghosts again and he celebrated Christmas Day and smiled at everybody on the streets. He helped Bob’s family and became a second father to Tim, the very sick son of Bob.
Scrooge became a good friend and a good man. Since then Scrooge celebrated Christmas Day and helped people. He became a generous and kind man like Marley wanted him to be.
