My life is truly busy and perchance you are too.
Everyday, I am always preoccupied with a lot of activities
yet at the end of the day
I always realize that there are fruits that would be reaped
if and only if
we nourish our own seed
with effort, sacrifice, values and gratefulness.
Let's be thankful that Heaven has given us a chance to live.
Let's be grateful that there are two farmers,
one male and one female,
planted us.
Life is absolutely unfair but we have the hands to balance it.
Yes, to balance it.
Never relinquish albeit worm-like people infuriate you continuously.
They are your challenges.
Take their criticisms as your badges of honor.
Analyze. Decide. Act.
It is inevitable that there are people tend to pull us down.
Give them pieces of advice
not once but many times
but if they don't follow,
apply the rule of respect.
It is their own prerogative. It is their own discretion.
Let them.
Because as what one of my favorite professors,
Master Gladys Serafica,
said,
"Never please people because not all can ever be pleased".
Worm-like people could be found anywhere.
Let braggart creatures boast.
Let hypocrite beings pretend.
Let envious humans covet.
Let them pull you down.
But let your leaves grow.
Congratulate them because these worms make your roots stronger,
your branch and stems harder,
your leaves greener,
your flowers larger,
and your fruits riper.
That means you, the entire tree, become better.
Surrender them to the Sun of heaven.
Always ask guidance from the Sun,
who is the true source of light and heat.
Nourish yourself as the nature nurtures you too.
Strive hard to prove them wrong. Be the best that you can ever be.
Nurture your life. Nourish your tree.
