Try Everything Shakira

Lyrics：
I messed up tonight
I lost another fight
I still mess up but I'll just start again
I keep falling down
I keep on hitting the ground
I always get up now to see what's next
Birds don't just fly
They fall down and get up
Nobody learns without getting it won
I won't give up, no I won't give in
Till I reach the end
And then I'll start again
Though I'm on the lead
I wanna try everything
I wanna try even though I could fail
I won't give up, no I won't give in
Till I reach the end
And then I'll start again
No I won't leave
I wanna try everything
I wanna try even though I could fail
Oh oh try everything
Look how far you've come
You filled your heart with love
Baby you've done enough that cut your breath
Don't beat yourself up
Don't need to run so fast
Sometimes we come last but we did our best
I won't give up, no I won't give in
Till I reach the end
And then I'll start again
Though I'm on the lead
I wanna try everything
I wanna try even though I could fail
I won't give up, no I won't give in
Till I reach the end
And then I'll start again
No I won't leave
I wanna try everything
I wanna try even though I could fail
I'll keep on making those new mistakes
I'll keep on making them every day
Those new mistakes
Oh oh, try everything

Why do I like this song?

This is the movie, Zootopia's theme song, and this is also my favorite Disney movie. The main idea of this movie is about the rabbit, Judy, full of dreams, then she leaved home with an American dream to make a living away from home. However, nothing went right at the beginning. Life is cruel but Judy is brave. Because of her persistence, she overcame everything. And became the greatest police in Zootopia. 
When listening the song, it always lets me recall the movie. In the lyrics, it tells us even if there is nothing go right you still have to persist on your original intention. Tomorrow is another day. Every cloud has a silver lining.New hopes will come after disastrous period.

🔺The words I think difficult

1. run off with something phrasal verb

EX) She ran off with breakfast for her respectable middle-class family.

2. proxy noun
someone who you choose to represent you, especially to vote for you
EX) A proxy need not be a member of the company.

3. milestone noun
a very important event in the development of something
EX) We believe that what we have agreed today will be a milestone on the road to true peace and prosperity in our country.

🔺My thoughts of this talk

"Photos freeze time and remind us our experiences in past."
After watching this video, I appreciate the father's persistence of taking the same pictures every year. Even though he is not in many family's photos. He still has his unique way to keep memories with his daughter. And through the pictures, he sees the change of his daughter from year to year. Because while they take the same picture at the same place,their perspective change.
The most important thing this film wants to convey is, no matter what busy we are , we should take an active role in consciously creating memories. Freeze memories through photos and grow up with the photos. These photos will be the most important and precious memories of our lives.
