How does the beginning of a new semester with day one class feels? Unbearable. It was tiring and a little blurry I would say. Definitely not my best day ever. Yet, I had learned something valuable. In one of my class, my lecturer was telling us a story she had read on a web. As she was sharing, there were words that sinks in as those were the words I needed to hear.
As my lecturer was telling us the story, she said something I would put as “This hardship is an opening for a miracle” I reflected on it and it was certainly true. The friendship I have with my best friends was built on hardship. The person that I am, came from hardship and many other things came from hardship.
Another thing she mentioned is how we need to be humble, remember our roots be ethical. It is clear in this society that many people are willing to use all sorts off fraud in order to gain success. What is so great about getting a first class degree when the ethical part of you is barely even there. I know of people that scores excellently in studies but when it comes to attitude and mentality, it was one of the worst. Does that give them success? Perhaps, but for how long? I believe that in every success, there have to be good personality. Education doesn’t determine success. Here, I refer success wholly both in material and spiritual wise. Any objection?
By the way, if you have not read The Little Prince, I highly recommend that book. Read it with an open mind and you won’t regret it.
