Wine to Water
Wine to Water
Not having a purpose in life or not knowing what to do or where to go might just be the worst feeling to have. I believe everyone has a purpose, something we were meant to do or be good at. Finding that one thing is just the hard part. The book Wine to Water shows us a story about a guy that really doesn’t get why he’s here. What his purpose really is until he finds out the worlds crisis for water and how he can actually help these people. Being in college, Just graduating from High school I think I can really identify with how he was feeling. Where will I really be in 10 years. Thats the million dollar question everyone would like to have answered. Like Doc Hendley says in the book, “What is the definition of life? Is it eating, sleeping, breathing? Or is it something much greater?” I think everyone has their own definition. Depending on what you want to do or what your morals are has to do with how you see life and its meaning. That’s what the book is mainly about, learning the real definition of life. Doc is trying to find somewhere were he is wanted. All his life he never really finished anything or was determined to do anything until he started Wine to Water and saw how just one person can make a tremendous impact on others life. Since little I was always asked what do I wanna be when I grow up? It’s funny because my parents always told me to just be happy. Whatever I do, whoever i’m with be a happy person. John Lennon gave a great example, As quoted he said “When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.” Happiness within is key. If you’re not happy with yourself and what you do then life is just irrelevant. I can honestly say I can identify with Doc and how he dealt with “Failure”. They say you fall two times
