Hi little brother happy 13th birthday and I wish you all the best. Even though you are stubborn and you won't listen to me at times I know you have a pure and loving soul. You are not the sweet type of brother but I know also deep down inside you care. I am always here for you, to guide you and protect you. You are growing up too fast but you are still small. Before I am the only girl who follows you around but now I have no idea, right? Always take care of yourself and please eat vegetables. Sooner or later you'll become a walking hotdog or spam. I feel like old when I am typing this and I don't wanna get too cheesy.
Went to La Luz beach resort, Laiya, Batangas last Saturday until Sunday evening. I was with my not so ordinary best friend, her family and their company employees. It was a very memorable experience. It's their company's Christmas party and luckily I got an invite and took the chance to join them. Everything we did was fun. Especially the new people I met. I felt very special when I was with them. This is getting cheesy so I need to stop..
Who's not feeling good when it's friday? NO ONEEEEE!!! The gang decided to celebrate because the prelims and exams are over. We felt like the happiest kids on earth yesterday. We didn't plan things much we just grabbed beers and pizza in the mall then headed to the heart of The Fort. We spent our afternoon at the Turf, BGC. We just had a pizza and beer kind of afternoon. People were around us, construction workers and skateboarders are watching us while we are doing our stuffs. My friend just parked his car outside the parking lot and we're good to go. We ate and drank we had so much fun. Some of us tripped some of us wants to pee but no bathroom and some of us walked hell out of a way twice just to buy ice and stuffs and get cups. It's one of our best days ever. But I know we will have a lot more. Right guys? Sorry for using your faces again
This is an ode to all students who have ever gotten B’s, C’s, D’s (and sometimes even failed). It’s a declaration to the kids who calculated the exact number of points they needed to get on their finals in order to pass. This is for all those kids who didn’t get extra credit or get placed on honor roll. After years of inadequacy and a lifetime of feeling average and unremarkable, your time has come. Someone is finally here to tell you that even if your GPA’s lower than 1.2, you can be great.
For years, society has placed a disgustingly large stigma on bad grades and an overwhelming importance on good grades. There’s a predisposed instinct to strive for A’s and cast anything lower to the side, to deem as unworthy. Well, it’s time to let the children learn that it’s okay not to be an A student, it’s okay to fail. Because here’s a little secret the older generations are unwilling to divulge to you: it doesn’t matter.
To all those tight-ass intellectuals out there, it’s time to get the facts straight. For all those years that you spent cooped up in the library, poring over facts and stats, soliloquies and Greek mythology, the average scoring kids — the ones partying and getting C’s in college — are the ones obtaining the skills that do matter: life experiences.
Failing is a life experience. Not getting that A on the exam you spent all night studying for, is an experience. Life experiences are a composite of all the skills necessary to get along in the real world. It’s comprised of all those skills that are only learned through failure and the obstacles of life, like how to hold a conversation, get away with a lie or entertain someone you really don’t like. It’s all those skills that high-paying Fortune 500 companies value above all else.
In college, it’s all about grades. In the real world, it’s about experience, balls and drive. Because once you get past the first job, no one is ever going to ask you about your GPA or how you did on that Psych 215 final. What matters in the real world is your ability to adapt, innovate and get along. There are no scantron sheets or essay exams. There are no TA’s to hold review sessions or to help you practice your presentation. Real life is about how well you can bullsh*t your way through it, and that’s not something taught in a classroom.
“Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.”-Winston Churchill
The greatest thinkers, leaders and entrepreneurs of our time have been the men to defy the rules and take risks. They were the ones getting C’s or flunking out. However, their “failures’ were not a factor of intelligence, but an inability to be weighed down by grades and superficial markings. Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and Richard Branson, are just a few of the men who achieved unfathomable amounts of wealth, status and success without ever really succeeding in a classroom. They are the men, that by society’s standards, had failed.
With their passion and intelligence, they were able to change the world with nothing more than a bachelor’s degree and a transcript of failing grades (sometimes not graduating at all). These men understood at an early age that just because society, and everyone around them, placed an excessive amount of importance on grades didn’t mean they were right.
But it’s not just these extreme examples of eccentric billionaires and tech geniuses that should solidify the results of this finding. It’s about yourself and the gut feelings you have towards what is right and what is wrong.
Succeeding in life means following your gut and understanding what a bad decision is. Just because you passed American History with flying colors doesn’t mean you’ll know what to do when your coworker is talking behind your back to your boss. It doesn’t mean you’ll know how to handle an insubordinate or get together a presentation the night before a deadline.
The people who do great things are the ones too absorbed in their own ideas to place too much weight on the opinions of others. Why should Steve Jobs spend hours studying someone else’s ideas and breakthroughs when he could be out creating his own? What people fail to see in bad grades is the reason behind them. Why is this person not getting an A? Is this person doing something that is better?
“Everybody is a genius. But, if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it’ll spend it’s whole life believing that it is stupid.” – Albert Einstein
So for all of you preparing for finals, or finishing them with a bitter taste in your mouth, this should be reason enough not to worry. If you are ending the semester with C’s and maybe a few D’s, don’t sweat. There’s plenty of opportunity out there, and it’s the people with the audacity not to care about their grades — the ones who don’t spend their lives in the library and bubbling in correct answer sheets — who will rule the world. Because at the end of it all, it’s really about those people with the most passion.
Meet my bestfriend, the person behind me. I'm not sure if I am thankful or what because being grateful doesn't feel right sometimes. I just want to let my emotions out right now. FORGIVE ME SORRY
