THREE THINGS

Our  lives can be summed up and governed by three points: EGO, CHARACTER, SELF-ACTUALIZATION

 Ego: you’re the best, you’re the worst

                What there was to be proud of about myself, no matter what industry we choose, that’s the challenge! Support your ego. Do not better your ego. Do not look down on someone. Temper your ego. Not be the worst, not be the best. Be good enough and make yourself right-sized.

Character: end justifying the means

                Leaving the cradle, the opportunity is yours to solidify who you really want to be and what values that you hold true; what will your character be, and what would people say about you; what would people think about you; will you be known as honest, fair, trustworthy, humble, generous, compassionate, it’s up to you. It takes all types to make the world go round. I want to emulate the character traits I value in others.

                I hope that others will see things in me that they would pursue with themselves. This is more meaningful, if you think ahead to the aspects of you that you want to be known for; and act accordingly with those no matter what.

Self-actualization: sense of autonomy

                In college, I did not always get A’s, and I do not always understand things the way my A-student colleagues did. I was  a very passionate, organized and motivated student but I simply do not have what it took to have top grades. This was very frustrating and confusing because people tell me I am smart. They told me I could do anything. Could they have been wrong? Were they lying?

                Until now, I don’t regret any part of it. It seems to be a wonderful, challenging journey. It is continuously making me the person I am today. You get to choose your life. You get to live your life however you want it to. 

If not you, then who? If not now, then when?

Let us go out there and show the world how much we can do for ourselves, for our community, and for our world.
