Often it is questioned what purpose mathematics serves in real life. Or Chemistry, when it is not even directly related to some courses. Or even NSTP, when I entertain no intention of collecting garbage for a living anyway. So why should any student bother?
Well, besides the fact that subjects such as these have been architectured into our curricula to breed us into well-rounded individuals, my personal truth is it is not about the subjects, but the attitude you have towards your studies. It is the attitude wherein you abandon any space for intellectual laziness and the attitude in which you challenge yourself to better than the day before. It is the same attitude which translates into the grades you receive, which propels you to a mindset that you would later in import to the profession you would exercise.
It is never to early to embrace such an attitude. I speak to those who feel too young to think about the inevitable future, as if college was no privilege but a burden. William Shakespeare's infamous line, "The day you were born was the day you started to die", is my design to acquaint you that in life, it is not to early to succeed.
The decision we compel is like the "Butterfly Effect" where a single flap from a butterfly's wing sends a gentle vibration, but as it travels half-way across the world gains strength, strong enough to create a tidal wave.
Fashion that to the decisions you make now, and not be obvious to its effects in the future. So I challenge you to make the right decisions, for no one else is going to make those decisions for you.
It is easy: change, and never ever look back.
