Shower Time, Philosophy Time

No, it's not going to be one of my usual "mundane thing turned magnanimous due to my overactive imagination fed by philosophy" posts. I must admit that this one is (comparatively) short. This is just a bunch of reflections I had running in my mind as the cool waters of my shower were washing away the Pantene. I just had to put it on paper (Well, cyberspace), for some reason, so there.

Anyway, please tell me your thoughts.

1. This is exactly the reason why I think teachers are undoubtedly heroes. I truly think it’s noble the way they inspire kids to dream big and to do what they can to achieve that said dream. They give hope to those deamed hopeless. This man sort of embodies what a real teacher should be, a “kuya/ate” —- a cheerleader, guide, and role model in one.

And yes, I want to be part of that world.

2. The greatest award I could receive is not a Grammy or Oscar or even a Nobel Peace Prize. To me, the greatest awards are another person’s huge smile and pair of eyes that brightened up because of me —- to know that I inspired and touched that person, to be able to say I helped this person to become what he or she is, to make them happy and make their lives a little better.

Yes, this award doesn’t have monetary value. Hey, it’s not even tangible. But, this is the core of why we should do things excellently —- because, ulimately, you need them and vice versa; because our skills are not meant for us alone; because it is human to help.

This is an award I choose to receive again and again.

I never knew that showering can induce deep thought! Haha!
