" In the land of beautiful people you can't help yourself from having this silent whisper of "oohs and ahhs"as you see them passing by the cafeteria while waiting for the next lecturer. Over 100 nationalities from all over the world in one-stop shop, surely you are special".
As I look carefully in each glowing faces filled with enthusiasm I suddenly had a flashback of the hardships I went through just to be here. And each person I know definitely had the same plight. All the grueling hours of waiting, and nerve-wrecking interviews at last landed us here is this magical place.
I am not perfect and nobody is. But it's sad when you get stuck with some people who don't have the same positive outlook like you have. As much as I can inject life and hope to each person I encounter there's just some who like belittling themselves in front of other people just because of where he or she comes from. I can't see the point.I believe that every one of us is created equal no matter how blue your eyes seems to be or how fair your skin looks like. Come on. If only each of us can just devote an hour or two to appreciate ourselves and identify our own potentials.Stop being our own bully just to gain someone's approval. Be proud where you came from. If you have a dream : FOLLOW IT. Never mind who laugh at them for you don't need them when you reach the top.
I feel sorry for those kind who compartmentalized themselves in little boxes. We have to be more confident that each of us is unique and have our own special gifts. Nothing is impossible. How others treat you is reflected on how you see yourself.
My journey has just begun. I get home always knocked-out, exhausted. Hurrying up every morning to take the early bus going to Headquarters. And you know what, it's all WORTH it. For everyday is an opportunity to learn new things, to excel, to love, to step up and embrace the beauty of just being alive.
