1. INTRODUCTION
Love is known to be one of the most important human values. Everyone wants to
love and be loved. Virtually everyone is capable of this wonderful feeling. Love is of
multifaceted nature. Sometimes we may endow beloved persons with qualities they do
not possess in fact. But at the same time this feeling helps to reveal all the benefits and
positive features of the person whom we love though it can be inaccessible to human
feeling the mind. Only this true sense is able to change people for the better. It makes
us forgive and find happiness in the happiness of a beloved man or woman. Therefore,
love is the most complex and deep. It can make miracles. Sometimes love makes people
do heroic deeds, rescues from loneliness, heals emotional wounds. Love can make life
full of joy, fun and laughter. This feeling is able to resurrect us for a brand new life,
gain new strength for creativity. At the same time love is a very complex feeling since
it is associated not only with tenderness and joy, but with pain and tears as well.
THESIS STATEMENT
The questions here is actually about how important love is in our dailylife especially
for students like us? What is love in their life? Who will take the important part of love
feelings in students self? Why are they the choosen one? All because of one word called
love.
2. BODY OF SPEECH
Love can be divided into many type. Love towards parents and family, teachers, friends,
someone special woman or man, ourself and also to our creater, God. Mother is the one
who give a birth to us. She take the risk to make sure we her son or daughter to
survive in this world. In other situation, father is the one who work to get the money
for us. He sacrificed his time to be at joy just for working. Both our perents can be the
one who give the strength to us for life. With their love we can survive. Because of their
support, we must remember that without them who we are now. If they don’t took care
of us, we will not get success. Our parents were the one that very closest and very
important in our life. Most people, especially students make their parents as a source of
inspiration. In the context of education, parents provide a tremendous influence on the students,
with the encouragement and support from them, students will have the enthusiasm to continue
their studies. In the context as a student that is the meaning of love to parents, where we
have a high desire to not let hope our parents shattered. So, love like this is one of the
driving forces for the students to continue learning successfully. “Parents can plant magic in
a child's mind through certain words spoken with some thrilling quality of voice, some uplift of
the heart and spirit” by Robert MacNeil. It is showed how parents love give a big effect to
their child. How parents are, will be reflected to their own children. The way they teach
their child will affect the children life’s because children specially at age about 1 to 6
years are the good learner. They will take whatever parents their are doing as the best
example for their life.
3. Love towards the teachers are the second important part of love. Teachers are the one
who teach us started from kindergarten until now in college. They are like our second
parents. Whatever have we done to them, they still teach us without any sigh. How
naughty we are ,but they just continue to teach us as long as they capable. That is why
many student also view some teacher as they role model after their parents. There are
many teacher in one school but there are sometimes, few teacher with special ability that
makes student admire them. This feeling help the student to automatically love the
subject that is being teach to the students. This situation help the student to be motivated
to learn the subject as best as they can. “The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher
explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.” Said William Arthur
Ward. The quotes show how good teachers are, student will take them as role model.
This is the prove how important love is. When a student start to love their teachers, then
it will help them to learn some more than what been expected by the teacher.
Everything that been teach by the teacher will be stick in their mind for the rest of
their life because the teacher are one important person in the student life. One of book
ive been read is “Love Is The Best Teacher” by Joan Walsh Anglund showed how
teachers love are important. If we don’t know them, then we will not love them. We
must give a space to us and our teacher to know each other and learn the best thing.
4. Love towards someone like friends or someone special whether it is woman or man
like boyfriend or girlfriend. As a students , this kind of love give me a strength to be a
success people. When we have someone special in our life this is probably can make us
be a happy person, and we have a confident to be successful person. This is because
when someone was give us a strength to study properly and always support us in any
situation, we exactly can do our best to make them proud with ourself. For me as a
student , I was mostly try to do my best in any situation for make them proud with me.
When we love someone whether it is friends or someone special in our life, this is will
make us to be a person with a good behaviour because we want them to be closed with
us. This type of love push us to be great person that they ever know. This is the
power of love. Elbert Hubbard said that “A friend is someone who knows all about
you and still loves you.” . A real friend will accept for who you are originally. How
bad are you, they will accept you and will not leave you. This can help you to be more
confident towards yourself and maintaining to trust your own self because you have
someone that will always be with you. This kind of love different from parents and
teachers because you have someone that same age with you that more understand you as
the teenagers. Someone that know what your childish thinker wants. “A friend is one that
knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have
become, and still, gently allows you to grow” by William Shakespeare.
5. Next, love towards our own self. We have know about love towards parents,
teachers, and also friends or someone special but we also need to know how to love
our own self. No one will success if they don’t even appreciate their own self. Everyone
else might be can accept for what are you, but sometimes you need your own privacy
time and ask youself whether you can accept your own self or not. This is because if
you not love yourself then you will not trying your best and have a lack of self
confident because you are not trusting your own self. Julianne Hough said “I think every
girl needs to love herself, regardless of anything. Like if you're having a bad day, if
you don't like your hair, if you don't have the best family situation, whatever, you have
to love yourself and you can't do anything until you love yourself first”. The words
shows how important ourself to us. If you realy want to make sure all you have done
in this world are better then learn to love your ownself first then love others.
6. The last but not least, love towards our creator, GOD. Every religious know that
God is the one who create us as beautiful and handsome we are as human now. He is
the one who create everything in this world. Our parents, teachers, friends or he/ she and
also ourself. Without his will, we would not exist in this world. We must thankful to
him for giving chance to us tyo survive in this world. Love Him by praise to Him and
do what He told us. We as human must remember that everything that happen in this
world have its own benefit. That is why we must love Him. He will always there for us
whatever hapend. When there nobody for you than try to remind yourself that God will
not leave you behind. If you trust that, then you can manage to love others and yourself.
Have a high self confident. Every time we remind about God,
7. CONCLUSION
As the conclusion, love take a lot of important part in our life. Love can teach us
many thing. Feel of angry, shy, sad, happy, cheerful, and so on. Just in one word but it
means so deep. Just the four letter L, O, V, and E give us a lot of experience and can
be take as lesson to be a success person. With love we can manage our life. Love also
help us to communicate well with others because we love our self and others.
