Quote by Forrest Gump Movies

Can you believe it’s been nearly 27 years since Forrest Gump sat on that bench and delivered his famous quote, “life is like a box of chocolates”? On July 6, 1994, the slow, but sweet character played by Tom Hanks entered theaters—and our hearts. Besides being a blockbuster, the film was also critically acclaimed, winning the Academy Award for Best Picture that year, along with 13 other Oscar nominations.

To celebrate this classic movie, we’ve rounded up 20 of our favorite quotes from the film that includes Jenny, shrimp, running, mama and a box of chocolates.

I ran clear across Alabama. For no particular reason I just kept on going. I ran clear to the ocean. And when I got there, I figured, since I’d gone this far, I might as well turn around, just keep on going.

My biggest Mistake

   Photo by Viktoria Godaddy from Pexels Hi reader,  In this blog, I am going to accept my biggest and first mistake in my life.  My collage experience: When I was in college days, as students I have no idea about what we doing and why we want to do that.

My mistake in my life

Photo by George Becker from Pexels Hi friends, I am going to discuss some mistake which makes in my life more hard and depression at starting of my life. Talking more, When I need to listen:  Most of time, i hate listen to other, even they doing good for me. For every successful person, they need to listen more, but talking less.

After few event, I feel it's ok to feel de-motivated or loser or useless. We can't stay motivated or productivity thing or inspiring other. It's okay to do what we need to do, even it useless thing or it wasting our time or attending the function which you hate most.  Motivated always is good or bad? Many of us claims that their motivation is not same in our life or even in single entire day. It changing continuous for me, like "In morning, I feel good", after some, "I feel upset", after some time, "I feel hungry", After some time, "I feel like useless". Same as one day, we feel good, and the next day as demotivated. After ten days, we feel good after that don't work with the same force or same fire to do the normal things. For example, when I start studying,...
