Keanu Reeves was described by many as one of the most successful actors of his generation, with an audience that remained after his rise to fame. Reeves’ career was on the rise in the late 1990s and early 2000s due to his roles in films such as “The Matrix,” “Wick” and “Be Always with Me.”

Keanu Reeves lived what some would call a challenging life. And yet you will notice how his quotes reflect how much wisdom he has gained despite the challenges.

Sometimes we get so caught up in our daily lives that we forget to take our time to enjoy the beauty of life. But Keanu reminds us that we should be grateful for waht we have and strive for the best in life.

He has gone through terrible privations and tragedies in his life, but he is not holding back to the past. Today he leads an easier and meaningful life: he has chosen to give something back to others and help them. He continues to try to make the world a better place through his words and actions.

He has been seen around the world riding the subway to work, sharing public transport with travellers, anonymously setting up a charity and donating 70% of his earnings to the film’s special effects team.

Here is what he can teach us all about life.
