Rhetoric Education

Let us be unequivocally prudent in the stewardship of our education. We study for our best application in the long run; not just for the mere short-termed excellence or success.

It would just be a rhetoric. It saddens me how the Y's have been in the limelight with the wrong perception of what education is. We have been studying the to do's and the not to but some end up blinded by the mere remembrance of it. All is in the head, all is in the head, and that's not education.

We know it's wrong, but some do it anyway. We know it is not for the good but we still can't help trying a little, still. It's like differentiating a white sheet of paper with a smudge of small ink of ballpen to a white sheet of paper smudged with a big brush of black paint- and at the end of the day, both sheets of paper are still tainted.

Mastering what is taught is exceptionally great and at the same time applying it. And mind you, it is never bad to know and even master what is written there. But what becomes the problem is when it stays just there, just for the mere purpose of short-termed sufficiency and bypassing the sole and genuine purpose of knowing it, thus, nullifying education.

Everyone have their opportunities. Everyone have their own guts and capacities to do something. But sadly, some use it to bypass the path to that title listed on that thin sheet of paper at the end of the day.

Say, "Let's be the change we wish to see in the world." or "Change begins in me." but at the end of the day, has it been done? Has it even been thought of? Or have you even applied it in the simplest of things? Take it in, think of it. We have been wanting developments and improvements, yes, there are some standing up for it.

Will you be one of the bystanders or one of the change-makers? You know your capabilities, you know what you think you can't. Test it and know that you can.

Bear's Breeches


I know you are valuable.
I know you are worth it.
I know in time I'll understand you.
I know you are the difference.
I know I have to meet you.
And I'll appreciate you best, soon.

All these shall pass and until I understand you, the epitomy of genuine learning will be worth the sleepless nights, relenting the simplest corruption, the tiresome perseverance, those unseen hard efforts and those bad hair days that says it all will show that you are worth it.

You will bear fruit. You will be nourished and you will exemplify traditions.

In the realm of unharvested fruits, you will blossom and you will be the standard from the norms and common practice.
