Last February 11, 2016, Jon Santos
visited Asia Pacific Collge. He visited not as Miriam Defensor, Erap Estrada,
PNoy, and not every personality he has impersonated. He came as himself. He said
that it was unusual for him to do that. I’m glad that he gave us the chance to
know who really is.
In our school, he did a talk
entitled, “Follow your passion, I did!” There, he did not just had a talk, but he
also gave us a glimpse of his show, “WTF: Wala Talagang Forever… sa Malacanang.”
We laughed so hard with his punch lines. Like everytime he says something funny,
we died laughing. His humor is really undying. To make us laugh was not merely
the reason why he came to the school. He came in order for him to share to us
what he had experienced in his job, and through those experiences, he reminded
us with some pieces of advice. In his talk, he gave us 10 things that we must
give importance:
1. We must listen. How can we learn if we do not open up our
ears and listen? Listening is essential, especially for teenagers. There are a
lot of things we do not know in life, and the only to discover those is to
listen.
2. All learning will enrich you. I agree with this. If
everyday in our lives we’ll learn, everyday we could also improve our lives.
That is because these learning could pave ways for our success.
3. Learning what you love will make you even richer, make
you the richest person. I also agree with this. If we do something we love, no
matter how that maybe, we’ll still be successful.
4. Knowledge is everything. It only tells us that above all
things, knowledge is the most important.
5. Win the war before you fight it
6. Adjust, adopt, and evolve. It’s not easy for everyone to
adjust. Then, do it gradually, and become someone new.
7. This is all rootless strategy.
8. Always be grateful, even in small things. Remember, great
things came from small things.
9. You are never alone in your journey. You have your family
and friends when you go on a journey.
They’ll support you no matter what, so do not be scared in
doing what you want.
10. Love yourself and then let go of yourself. Lose yourself
because it’s the only way to live.
I’ll
make sure I keep all of these reminders in my mind. That way, I can be
successful in the field that I want to take.
