Looking at the title, you must have thought, "Ya, ferris wheel... so? What's so nice about it?" Some of you might think that it's just a machine bringing us go up and down in a circle to amuse the passengers... or shall I say kids.
But to me, it is totally a different meaning. Ferris wheel is not just a machine or something for you to ride in. It's more than that. It moves in a circle. Do you know why?
To me, it represents our lives. It's a never ending cycle, never ending journey until the time the ferris wheel stops moving, when our lives stop the journey on earth.
When it's at the bottom, that's the time when you feel down. Your life seems to face with many problems. You feel like just giving up and you feel that it's hard to overcome your problems. You don't know what to do and you don't know how to do it. You don't know who to find. You feel like you are alone. This is the hardest part in our lives.
But if you have the will, you will continue non-stop to climb up. This is when the ferris wheel moves up. At this time you might feel hard as the climbing process is not easy. Don't be afraid to go on... because you are not alone. Seek your family and friends and you will realize how much they care for you. With their support, you go through it. When you start to see the beautiful scenery that surrounds you as the ferris wheel moves up, you will be more determined to reach to the highest peak.
Now, you have survived through all the obstacles and reach the top. You feel like you are on top of the world. The beautiful view of the world below you feels great. You feel like you have all the things you wanted. You are satisfied with your life. No regret. This is the happiest moment in your life. The glory in your life. You feel like staying on top forever and never wish to go down.
But this is life. This is the truth. As time passes by, you become older. Activites are reduced, you retire. This is the time you feel like you want to rest, have a peaceful life. The ferris wheel starts to move down. You do not wish to fight for glory any longer. You have passed through it before and now you just want to settle down peacefully. The scenery around you still looks beautiful. You enjoy the moment you are having now. You feel calm.
Now the ferris wheel is going to stop soon. It's going to reach the bottom. You know your life is coming to an end. You know your journey is going to end because you have reached the place. Although it's sad having to leave the ferris wheel knowing that you can no longer view the beautiful scenery. But you have ride through it once. You know how it feels. You have experienced it. You have no regret. You have nothing to hold you back. You have nothing left undone. The ferris wheel reaches the destination. It's time to say goodbye. You leave without any hesitation because you know this is LIFE'S JOURNEY.
Now you know why ferris wheel is meaningful to me? It represents my life. Life is not easy. But we only live life once. So live your life to the fullest while you can. Be bold to overcome all the problems and strive to reach to the top. Dream and make your dreams realize. Do not hesitate, do not fear. Fight for your goal. Only this then you will have no regret living in this world. Then when it's time to leave this world, you will have no regret. Because you know you have gone through all the things you have wanted before. There's nothing to hold you back. You leave in peace. This is life. You have the choice to decide on your life whether to ride in a ferris wheel or never ride it and stay at the bottom forever without even have the chance to look at the beautiful scenery.
