Ipinanganak ka bang mahirap?

[_Cathy_]

Saw this on FB. I agree on everything except the last line. People should work hard to improve their lives BUT just because a person isn't born privileged means he or she is starting life "losing". I guess it really depends what you value in life. I think those born into rich dysfunctional families aren't exactly winning as well.

we weren't rich.
we didn't have great clothes.
we commuted.
but we didn't go hungry.
our parents gave us the best possible gift to succeed in life... an education.

btw,
that quote from bedia-anas,
i also find the last line strange.

don't get the "losing" part?

what life experience has taught me,

if you're good, but dis-advantaged,
and you try,
"you're not losing. you're just taking a bit longer to get there."

conversely,
coasting on your gifts will get you only so far.

"just taking a bit longer to get there"?



it's not like there's a gold bar reserved for every person at the finish line

like there's gold bar with your name on it and it's just waiting for you to arrive and nobody else has the right to claim it (and there's are enforcers to make sure nobody else claims it)

di ganun ang mundo

it's more like there are gold bars at the finish line but without names (and without enforcers)

those who reach the finish line early can get as many gold bars as they can

by the time the slower ones arrive there won't be any left

ganyan ang mundo

life is competition

I agree with uls, disadvantage talaga one way or another if you're born poor.

Kulang na sa basic needs, kulang pa sa opportunities. Thus most end up living in a state of hand to mouth existence.

Yes. Saka yun mga rags to richest story one in a million lang yun. Majority would still be poor througout their lives.

mahirap talaga maging mahirap.. minsan kailangan mo mamili ng isasakripisyo - - oras, luho, pansariling pangarap (travel, love life, ibang passion na hindi naman kikita ng pera at iba pa)..

at least marunong magsakripisyo

may reward yan sa future

ung ibang mahirap mahirap na nga ayaw magsakripisyo

inuuna ang luho (mas maganda pa cellphone kesa sayo haha)

inuuna ang lovelife (lagi buntis)

Dagdag mo yung family sa pagpipilian. Pag ang isang anak eh naka ahon sa kahirapan, nagka trabaho or naging OFW, yung parents nya eh susuportahan nya. Imbis na maka ipon. Minsan kahit mag asawa na sya at may sarili na pamilya, pasan pa rin nya parents nya. Yung iba hindi na makapag asawa dahil sa parents na dala nila.

Kahit gano katagal mo tinutulungan parents mo, once na maputol yang tulong mo, masamang anak ka na, wala ka nang utang na loob. [emoji23]

i did say,
"you try".

wala namang dadating sayo at tatagal sayo, kapag hindi ka nag-sikap, eh.

also,
our definitions of success may vary.
if i feel successful, then i am.

gold bars.
why should i scramble for your gold bar, when i can make my own?
translation: why should i run the rat race where i am sure to lose in? i should look for that event wherein i stand a good chance at winning.

Kilala mo ba ako Sir BratPAQ hahahaha.. Same sa sample mo, nag-iisa nga akong anak, mahirap nga.. [emoji23]
Yung isang ginawa ko hinulugan ko SSS ng mama ko para meron sya pang-allowance, ngayon masaya na sya.. Binibiro ko nga minsan ng pahingi ng pera.. Hahahahahaha [emoji23]
Alam ko na magiging issue talaga yung sa parents ko kung mag-aasawa ako agad.. Pwede kasi na ang mga possible na In Laws mapanilip pa ng kinikita ng anak nila kung hindi sila nabibigyan, sasabihin nauuwi pa pinaghirapan ng anak nila dahil sa mga biyenan..

[uls]

kaya mahirap makaahon sa kahirapan

step 1 -- born to poor parents

step 2 -- di makaaral sa good school

step 3 -- maaga mabuntis/makabuntis/mag asawa

next generation step 1 uli

vicious cycle of poverty

-

kung kaya ng magulang i-guide ang anak iwasan ang ligawan, tapusin ang pagaaral, makahanap ng magandang trabaho

that can break the cycle

[misseksaherada]

May benefit din, sila yung taga kuha ng picture kasi mas maganda phone nila.. Hahahaha [emoji23]
Yung iba naman nakukuha din luho nila dahil sa mga bf nila.. Ang galing nga eh, sana may ganun din akong skills.. Kaya yung pera nila maiipon nila.. Hehehe [emoji16]..
Yung iba high school na mga anak, ako single pa din..
Kaya di mo din masabi..
Pero kahit ibalik yung panahon gusto ko pa din maging single, pero mas magiging mas ambisyosa pa ako, pwede pala mas taasan ang pangarap.. [emoji16]

kaya nag isip ng ibang diskarte mga di maka-compete against the privileged

since the privileged created a system unfavorable to the unprivileged -- a system where you need to graduate from the best schools to get the best jobs

other people went abroad nalang to work blue collar jobs that pay as well or even better than local white collar jobs

they sent home money to build a house, buy appliances and furniture, motor vehicle.. they got their gold bar parin without joining the local rat race

[kagalingan]

gusto ko na ireward sarili ko. Type ko na bumili electric car budget 1.5milyones

[uls]

haha madiskarte mga ganyan babae

Yung iba high school na mga anak, ako single pa din..

yep

ung dati nabalitaan natin nabuntis inisip natin baka sira na buhay nila

pero ngayon meron na grownup kids na malapit sa edad nila parang makapatid lang

malakas pa sila and their kids are already working parelax relax nalang sila

they turned out fine naman...

Kaya di mo din masabi..

yep

Pero kahit ibalik yung panahon gusto ko pa din maging single, pero mas magiging mas ambisyosa pa ako, pwede pala mas taasan ang pangarap.. [emoji16]

bata ka pa naman habulin mo ung mataas na pangarap

[misseksaherada]

bata ka pa naman habulin mo ung mataas na pangarap

yung isang pangarap na parang hindi ko kayang gawin.. nung nag-US visit kasi ako, inalok ako ng work dun sa US.. Hindi ako maka-Yes, pagbalik ko dito tinanong ko din parents ko ayaw na din nila na mag-work ako sa ibang bansa.. May mga friends na din ako na nasa Australia, if papangarapin ko pwede din ako dun..
Kaso matatanda na parents ko, hindi ko na sila maiwan.. Wala din ako tiwala sa mga kamag-anak..
Kung bata pa sana parents ko at hindi ako nag-iisang anak baka mas madami pa ako pwedeng magawa..
Nung bata naman ako dahil nga wala sa top university school ko impossible naman na makuha agad yung ganung klaseng opportunity..
Kaya iba talaga kapag mayaman madami ka fallback plan.. Wala din masyado responsibility, sarili mo lang aasikasuhin mo at may access agad sa mga taong successful na pwede mag-guide sayo sa kahit anong path na gustuhin mo..
Sa tulad kong mahirap, ang dami ko nasayang na panahon sa mga trial and error para matutunan ang ibang bagay..
