Had lovely lunch with my colleagues… and it’s quite a boost to hear wonderful things said about me with regard to work… and although, probably I should be hailed the best advisor that my company has ever had… i have never really thought of it… I have been working like a dog…it’s not something new really…
Dad called yesterday, reminded me to take things slow… it seems that I have been working so hard, it’s as if I really needed it, he said. But see, I want to chart and secure my future… it’s not an easy way though.. I’ve traded a lot and sacrificed more in order to live comfortably…
I know my dad’s proud of me. I have never asked a single peso from him right after he put me through university in Australia… And apart from the financial freedom that I am enjoying, it’s also knowing about my self-worth… that I can do more and a lot of people can benefit from my work… see, I am into humanitarian and development work, and when I travel in other countries and see how dismal their situations are, it humbles me in greater ways than I could possibly do… seeing the blank stares of people living with HIV and AIDS, feeling the triumph of the spirit in souls that have remised a beautiful and forgiving life, only affirms my value as a person and the value of my family and friends…
It is really life-changing. And I know I cannot change the world.
