  1. I think that the real meaning of this popular belief is larger than what its literal meaning tells us. In my opinion, having a child means helping the society somehow, writing a book means doing something for the culture of this society and planting a tree represents helping the natural environment in some way. If you do anything in these three directions, you have absolutely fulfill your life.

  2. I think it's a literal meaning because you can't say that you have fulfilled your life if you planted a tree, because most people do not comply. Having a child if you can say you've done your life, because it is something that most people do it and is a goal of life and instead write a book only do the writers. To each person their life goals are different.

  3. I think that the popular belive says that because:
    If you have a child, you have created a new live,
    If you writte a book, you share with other people some experience, if you have planted a tree you help another generations to live better than now.

  4. I believe that this symbolic sentence is appropiate for the current days, because we have to keep this world in good conditions to leave it for the futur generations.Is the only way to give in inheritance a better world to our children and let the best of us in a good book or in a beautiful tree with a long life.

  5. I think it's a erroneous belief. In my opinion everyone born with a purpose, that is, for furfill our life we have to listen to us so that we still have to meet. On the other hand, I think this popular belief encourages people to advance with socity fairly,sustainably and in solidarity.

  6. This is a topic I think sometimes. I believe that if you don't do that, it doesn't matter, but if you do, you'll be better with yourself.
    Writing a book is a work which you can show your thoughts and worries, so it would be a good way to explain yourself. Also planting a tree is such a good way to feel better with the planet, because you're giving it a new life. And finally, about having a child, I think it's an experience that you have to have because of the happiness that it will produce to you. I believe that it's priceless to see how your child grows up, first in your womb and later by your side.

  7. This is a good metaphor to express what fills our lives and complete them, cultivating ourselves, leaving our seed in the world and creating a link with the land.

  8. I think that you don't have to do those things to fulfull your life, because planting a tree is so pointless, I think that there're other things more important than those you've mentioned before.

  9. It is a popular belief and must be respected, but I think that to have a full and happy life you have to do other things besides planting a tree, write a book and have a child. Not everyone can write well enough to write a book. not everyone is trained to care for a child .. It is true that if you do these things are helping to a better world, but we need to do more.

  10. I think not everyone keeps their dreams, but would be the main
    the most important thing for people to be happy.
    I think that planting a tree is not a dream, because you now you go to a
    florist and buy a seed and plant a tree, but writing a book
    or better yet have children, if it's a dream, as there are many people who
    has this great opportunity of having children. and writing a book can also
    be an object of happiness. for example for me of these three situations,
    fulfill a dream would be having children.

  11. I think it is a great truth, because doing any of the following things, you help society in some way.
    If you have a child, you write a book or you have planted a tree, you create something that at that moment is small, but that over the years will be important and I think and I think that's the best thing that can happen in life

  12. I think this sentence isn't true because there are more important things in life that plant a tree or write a book, however, have a child for me I think it is very important to grow new generations of people.
    Yes, is important to plant a tree or read a book for the experience of a person in his life but is not essential that everyone is making it.

  13. I think that it is a good belief to describe the most importants things that the people have to do in their life, becuase it is a way to say that in the life you have to have children, you have to study or do something to know an mininum of things of culture, and that you have to be careful with the enviroment.
    This is the way so as the life continues in the best way and that we don't lose population, inteligence, and the forest and the natural areas.

  14. This is good to express that we are unique in this life, and when we stop breathing, we think we've been and be remembered forever for it.
    You only live once, and you have to show how we are and everyone knows who we are.

  15. Many people says that chemistry is very important for everyone, it's part of our life. I think that it's also present of everything, although we sometimes can't realize it.
    So it is obviously that we can not live without chemistry!

  16. I think that one part of this popular belief it's true. I think that if you have a child with your partner it's so nice and it's true that you fulfill your life if you have had a child. And if you plant a tree? I think that you will create a life, and yes, it's a form to fulfill your life if you have had a child. But I don't agree with the opinion says that you have written a book because you don't do enough to do a good thing, with your book, people can remember you, but it's more beautiful do life.

  17. I believe that this popular belief is symbolic, although it is the maximum possible realization that we aspire to. To Give life, offer the culture and promote the change for a better world. It is to perpetuate our memories, through a son, a book or a tree, something that makes us stay alive. I hope do all three, and so, somehow feel that remain, once dead, at the world.

  18. I think that belif are good,
    have a child is more important than write a book, because one book is an object and child iis a person.
    if you plant a tree you helps more than if you write a book.
