ito ang isang panuntunan ko sa buhay, " He who exalts himself will be humbled and he who humbles himself will be exalted".

When I was in grade school, I was in the top 5 percent of my class. I was fortunate to get accepted into PSHS as an alternate, and during my first year there I discovered that a lot of other students were much, much smarter than me. I don't think I even made it to the Director's List during my freshman year.

It wasn't a humbling experience per se, since I wasn't condescending or arrogant about being smart. It was more of an eye-opener and a reminder for me about that line from Desiderata that "always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself," and that I should just strive to be the best person that God wanted me to be.

ako wala. humble na kasi ako eh...

good one sir happy. kaya lang what a paradox that sentence becomes. if I expand it into three paradoxical phrases in a sentence it'll sound like this;

"I'm a humble person" and "this sentence is false" because "I always lie"

I'm sure all of us have to take our daily dose of the bitter pill. most are too subtle to be notice but still humbling, nonetheless. as the philosopher once said, when we increase our knowledge, we see how little we know. we see how much we still have to learn. and once we really know a lot, we can safely say: "I know that I know nothing." Isn't that a paradox as well?

personally there's too many experiences for me to mention of and I'm glad I went through with each
