Uncover 5 Timeless Truths in The Little Prince<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a star-studded voice cast that includes the likes of Marion Cotillard, Paul Rudd, Rachel McAdams, Jeff Bridges, James Franco, and Ricky Gervais, all fans of the book and soon to be lovers of the story are thankful that this timeless, heart-warming tale has finally come to life on the silver screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you haven\u2019t read it yet, do yourself a favor and go pick up a copy of the book. There\u2019s a reason why this 80-page novel managed to sell more than 140 million copies worldwide. Antoine de Saint-Exupery speaks some real truths in this novel, and you\u2019ll find yourself relating to the little prince in ways you never imagined. Even though it\u2019s a children\u2019s classic, everyone is guaranteed to learn something new while re-reading it at different stages of growing up \u2014 from teenhood to adulthood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some #lifelessons from The Little Prince that you can always fall back on:<\/p>\n\n\n

1. \u201cIt is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is only a finite number of things we can devote ourselves to while we\u2019re alive. Pick those carefully.<\/p>\n\n\n

2. \u201cYou become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The inextricable bond between you and the things you \u201ctame\u201d is, essentially, love. What binds the little prince and the fox is their friendship, and for that they will never really be apart or estranged. To be tamed, you need to break down your walls and open yourself up, which is why the little prince also said, \u201cOne runs the risk of crying a bit if one allows oneself to be tamed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

3. \u201cIt\u2019s the time you spent on your rose that makes your rose so important.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether it\u2019s your dreams or a loved one, don\u2019t let anyone diminish its importance. It means something to you because you have invested time and energy in it. YOU care, even if no one else gets its significance.<\/p>\n\n\n

4. \u201cWhat makes the desert beautiful is that somewhere it hides a well.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saint-Exupery was a pilot who had once been stranded in a desert, which inspired him to write that scene. Just like the desert hides a well that gives life to marooned pilots, there is a blessing in every setback we face or adversity we find ourselves in.<\/p>\n\n\n

5. \u201cAll grown-ups were once children \u2026 but only few of them remember it.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is both nostalgic and sad. We are made up of memories and imagination and curiosity, but sometimes forget how to be a child again after being worn down by the daily grind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, dear readers, I wish you laughter and stories and memories that shine vividly even as you step . I wish you a past that guides you, a present that you can revel in, and a future that you dream about with stars in your eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This much-anticipated animated movie (which was highly looked upon for the Best Animated Feature Award at the Oscars), will let viewers know of the classic life lessons that Antoine de Saint-Exupery shares to not only the young ones but also to the young at heart.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
