Success wouldn't be as meaningful without failure much as happiness wouldn't be as sweet without sorrow. There's no clear-cut formula for success because it is too relative a concept to be defined by a single person or groups of scholars, scientists, geniuses, combined. However, I came across my archive of self-made quotes and found something relevant to post. Just a year ago (04/11/2010), I wrote:
"Success in not about outperforming others who outperformed you, but outperforming what you have already performed."
Whoah! I never thought I could think that way. That was my own definition of success. Unknowingly, it directed me towards the path of success. After a year, I have gone far from where I started my professional journey and the road doesn't stop after achieving my license as a teacher. I still have more things to experience, places to discover, talents to hone, and students to inspire like how I was inspired by my teachers. I salute all the teachers who positively influenced me to become one of them. I believe that we have brilliant teachers but something's wrong with the educational system. Hmmmn...this would be another interesting topic to blog soon. Anyhow, I would like to surround myself with positive emotions before I go ranting about our country's marred educational system.
