In case you’ve been living under a rock, about 2 years ago, arguably the best movie in the world was playing in the cinemas. Through this movie, Marvel Studios was able to not only give us the thrills, but also tears that tore us apart.

Movie Plot!

Thanos had just wiped out half the universe, and the story begins with the heroes feeling at an all time low. Not only did they just lose their fellow comrades, but they also failed at the very thing they swore to be; Earth’s mightiest heroes. This Avengers movie explains the whole process of how they were able to restore humanity through various missions and battles.

With 3 hours worth of action, drama and jaw-dropping moments, Avengers: Endgame also taught us a plethora of meaningful lessons we could all learn from and apply to our daily lives.

Moving on!
  • Early in the movie, Steve tells Natasha that both of them have to learn to grow and move on. What they’ve experienced is surely not common, and depressing situations like this often create a deep void in our life.
  • With 50% of all life forms turned into dust, disappointment and pain is an understatement to describe how they felt, but the only way to move is forwards.
  • If you are ever in this position of losing a loved one, take time to grieve, but don’t let yourself fall deeper into that hole of sadness. Talk it out with close ones and let time heal your wounds.
The true value of time.
  • This message that Tony Stark is trying to relay to his father Howard during his visit to the 1970s is that time is the most precious thing you could have; not even money can purchase a single nanosecond.
  • Everyone has 24 hours in a day; no one has more and no one has less. It’s all up to you on how you want to use it.
  • The most important thing to note is that time is irreversible. A tip from LITE is to manage your time wisely and live a life where you won’t feel any regrets[of not being able to do something you really wanted].
For the greater good.
  • The remaining Avengers had just figured out how to turn the situation around; time travel! In this scene, we hear Captain America giving his last speech to the heroes of how this is going to be the fight of their lives.
  • The phrase “whatever it takes” has a deep meaning to it. This shows that when there is a will, there will always be a way. All of them knew that they had to give their best no matter the consequence, in order to achieve the greater good.
  • Here we all can learn that when we want to reach our goals, we have to give our best, no matter the cost. If we’re fighting for a cause, we have to give our whole heart to succeed!
