In this movie we can learn that no matter how hard the life is we should never give up. If we had a dream, we should work hard on it. We should never depend on other people so that we can grow. To be an effective person is you must believe in yourself. We are the one who holds our future and it depends on us on how we can make it grow. In the movie it also shows on how powerful love is.
We must always remember that we must figure out first what we really want, not just romantically but also when it comes to our respective careers and dreams.
