Friday

fairly smart students

School had a different vibe this past week. Maybe it was due to horde of Practicum 1 students trying to meet another deadliest deadline of their young life. This time it is about the research topic or the company study topic.

Met a number of them along the corridors. Two at the Research Center. All of them fairly smart students. All of them look aptly worried. All of them wearing their "I am generic!" caps, again.

It seems that when they are pushed, they fold. Hurriedly embracing the comforts of being just another student, a generic student.

That is sad. Very sad. Not only for them but also for the Philippines.

Ganun na lang ba talaga palagi when we are pushed to stretch our limits, we fold. We hide. Bakit ba hindi natin nakikita na pag when we have reached our limits, it also means that we are in a position to push our limits even further? To allow and give ourselves with more freedom?

Haaay, Lord kayo na po ang bahala. At sorry po hindi ko po sila nasuko agad. Lord, sinusuko ko na po sila sa Inyo. Ginawa Nyo naman po silang smart. Sana po maturuan po silang maging matibay. Matapang. May tamang paninindigan sa buhay...

  2. ... in the end, only you can be with you 24x7. If you can sleep at night, with your conscience as your bed fellow, knowing you have done everything - then that's that.
