After watching The Change Up

The Change Up is a movie about 2 buddies who envy each other's lives~

Dave Lockwood

 rich, married, successful lawyer who is busy with work~

always wanting to have more than what he already had~

focus all his time on his work~

Mitch Planko

single, playful, quasi-employed man-child lacking of responsibilities~

had a messed up life~

They got drunk after gathering~

Dave wanted to live freely like Mitch;

Mitch wanted to have a wealthy life like Dave~

The next morning~ they woke up to be the different selves~

As the story goes, Dave found out that he is actually missing his old life~

he realized that he had been neglecting his wife and kids~

Mitch found out that he has been hated because of his intolerable characteristics~

his dad and even Dave (his best buddy) couldn't stand his bad habit~

he realized that he has to change~ he wanted to turn over a new leaf~ 

**************************************************************************

I felt touch and wanted to cry at the end of the story~

it reminds me of our real lives~

*Quite a nice movie but erm.. not very suitable for under 18.. you know what I mean*

*I was unaware about that element when I download the movie =.="*

Anyway~ is so true~

People always envy what others possess neglecting what they have in hand~

We often think that things others have are better than ours~ *funny huh?*

people never know what they have until they lost it..

people do not learn to treasure things until they are gone..

Same goes to life~ we often envy others~ the way they live~

but.. we are not them~ how do we know what are left unseen?

others may seems to be having a great life to us~

but we don't know what they had been through~

Thus, while we envy them~ they might be envying us too~ right?

There's one nice quote at the end of the movie by Mitch Planko~

"Life doesn't always turn out exactly how you've planned, but sometimes,

just sometimes, it turns out better."

Treasure what you have, love your life~

Cause.. someone else is envying whatever you possess :)
