One wonderful evening turned
not so good for one of my uncle. As the night went by, while he and his sons
were having an "inuman" session, he told us the feeling of
frustrations he felt all throughout his life.
Me, my cousins, and my mom
did not know that he went through such agony in his life. He was talking about
the "crab mentality" that he experienced with his own family. In all
honesty, he was a very bright student and graduated in one of the most premiere
universities here in Baguio City.
He told us that despite his
credentials, he did not hit the job that he was aiming for and what's worse is
he did not achieve his dreams in life. It is a sad story because even though he
wants to achieve his goals, time has caught up to him. He is past his prime.
Personally, I learned
something from my uncle's life. I realized that since I am still young, I must
maximize my potential in life. I must not give up no matter what. If I want
something, then I will do whatever it takes to grasp my goals in life. I wanted
to tell my uncle not to give up, but he was having his moment. So I just
listened to him and learned something from him.
