Circumstances come when people develop extraordinary skills that make them standout form the usuall crowd of everyday living. They are good at what they do and they make people happy, but their heart tells otherwise.

Madalas to mangyari sa mga tao. Masaya sila, magaling ka, pero sa puso mo alam mo kulang pa. This is the very very very long and endless topic tungkol sa pagkakaiba ng SKILLS sa DREAMS. Let us see some examples…

1. Bata ka pa, mahusay ka magdrowing, hanggang s paglaki mo lupit mo magdrawing. Pero ang hilig mo ay gumwa ng kanta at magsulat ng novels. Anu gagawin mo? Which path would you take?
2. You have been surrounded by tech geeks all your life and nahasa mo na ang pagaaus ng ibat ibang systems, pero trip mo talaga maging animation artist. Madami nagsasabi tahakin mo ang landas ng isang engineer but gusto mo ng fine arts… what would you do?
3. Parang si Zohan, malupit sa gera, pero love ang hair styling. Dami pumigil, madami ang kumutya, but he made his own decision. Ang tanong, if you were in his shoes, what would you do?

Naun ko lang naiisip, ang dami palang sagot sa bawat tanong na yan. Ibat iba din pla ang kalagayan and situtaions and mga tao. Meron nga ko nakilala sa MRT, name nya Jackie, and we had that same conversation on the way papunta ng Cubao Station. I asked her if she were a skillfull artist but deep inside she dreams about being a nurse, and everybody pushes her to choose the easy path, ang dami nyang sagot. To cut the long story short, bottomline, in conclusion, she answered that she would take the easy path.

//actual conversation happened//

^^ ‘Bakit naman?’.

“E kasi sa panahon naun, kelangng maging praktikal ka. Even in your case, engineering, if you would venture on what you want, being a ******** , but lacks the skills and resources to be one, lugi ka. Kasi 5 years kang gumawa nang foundation mo den all of a sudden back to zero ka. Sa panahon naun, its really practical to choose the easy lane.”

“ah….”..

//end of conersation//

I guess she was right. Being a newly grad student in the 20th century world really is a challenge. Madami nahihirapan sa pagtapak sa corporate world dahil unsure sila kung anu ba talga kukunin nila. Dami good jobs <***agent, etc., na madalas, kinakagat na ng iba para lng magsurvive sa panahaon naun, may mapakain sa family, may mapanggastos sa araw araw, maipangbayad sa tulong na binigay ni tito, tita, sa pagpapaaral… Minsan, kung titignan mo, at kung papanoorin mo and 3 Idiots, di na rin maaaply un masyado naun, lalu na kung ung mga hanp ng companies ay may 5 years experience na sa work. Takte! Panu magkakaexperience ayaw nyu pakuhain? @#$%^&*^^..

So balikan ko ung title ng note na to, What would you do? Take the easy path or take the more risky and challenging path na pag tinahak mo may chance na di kna makabalik sa pinanggalingan at lamunin ng mga buwayang makaksalubong mo? Tingin ko easy path nalng.. ^^,

Readers, vote wisely, este choose wisely. Its your decision as to what path to take. Basta remember to never let your desires/dreams/destiny/anything that starts with “D”, go. Kahit na anung path. And always ask guidance from God. He would never forsake you. ^^
