To Keep a Homeless Mafia Boss
ang magiging simula para mahanap natin kung ano ‘yung totoong magpapasaya sa atin. Totoo nga ‘yung sabi ng iba—malalasap mo lang ‘yung totoong kahulugan ng saya kapag nag-step out ka na sa comfort zone mo. At first, mahirap. But you’ll figure it out soon. At kapag nagawa mo na, trust me, you won’t regret anything. So to my fellow graduates, don’t be afraid to take risks. After this ceremony, after this phase, we will be walking into different paths. Some of us might continue to college journey, and some may start earning for a living. Lagi lang tayong sumubok at huwag tayong matakot. Because if we will be afraid of doing something, how can we know what result lies behind it? Huwag tayong matakot harapin ang hamon ng buhay. Instead, we should fight for us to be able to live our dreams. Five years from now maybe, when we see each other once again, I hope to see successful and matured individuals
. It is not necessary that you dress in corporate attires, bringing suitcases, and riding luxurious cars. Because the success that I am talking about, the success’ real meaning for me, is that you got to live your dreams. And dreams didn’t list bunch of money, car, houses, and properties as a requirement. But to be able to live depending on the way you want. With the peace we all deserve. Hindi niyo ba ako bibiguin sa inaasahan ko sa inyo?”
Napuno ng “oo” ang buong paligid, naiyak pa ang iba. Even I was in the verge of tears as I ended my speech.
