desiderata

Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

Nyaha. Ala akong magawa kanina kaya binuklat ko yung gr7 yearbook ng batch namin. Bigla ko ngang naisip kung ano ang ilalagay ko dun sa yr4 yearbook namin. Yung iba sa kanila nilagay lang favorite nilang quotation. Yung ilan nagpagawa sa kaibigan nila. Yung karamihan nagsulat sila tungkol sa sarili nila. Ako kaya? Ano isusulat ko?

Bilis ng panahon ano? This year tayo naman ang mga "big sister" sa kapatiran. This year tayo naman ang magkakaroon ng sariling legacy. This year tayo maghahandle ng fair. This year tayo na ang ate ng buong high school. This year mararanasan na rin natin ang retreat sa Baguio. At this year, huling taon na natin sa AA.

Naisip ko lang, natupad ko kaya ang purpose ko sa AA? May na-inspire ba ako dahil sa pagkatao ko? Napapangiti kaya ang mga tao tuwing naiisip nila ako? O hindi kaya may naiinis sakin? Meron kaya akong naging hidden na kaaway? Meron kayang nagmumura sa'kin kung wala ako sa paligid nila?

Daming tanong ano?

Siguro kayo nag-iisip na rin kung ano isusulat sa yearbook, ano?
