Importance Of Education

Education is a necessary tool as it plays a vital role in one's life. It is very important for everyone to be able to thrive in this competitive world. Being educated equips you with knowledge and it opens your mind to new ways of thinking. School is where you sharpen the skills that you have and learn more skills so you are ready to offer the world better.

It enlightens you and inspires you to desire more through the knowledge you obtain. Nowadays, it is not only in School now that you can gain knowledge and education, but as well in so many fields of expertise.




Education is very important as it is a stepping stone to achieving what you intentionally desire to accomplish in this planet earth. Whether it be obtained from outside or in the inside of the classroom, still necessary in order to acquire wisdom and understanding and expertise in any given field.

What will profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeit his soul? Success is sweeter if it is achieved with the guidance of God and if it is in accordance to His Holy will.

From childhood, I was already prayerful as my mum was. She was always praying because she was asking God to guide her whom to approach to borrow money “grind” that’s how we survived our childhood.

Suffered And Sacrificed

We survived a tremendously difficut life working laboriously for those who were lending us money with such big interests. We had no choice, but to take just to survive. The only possible way we had before. I'm sure there are a lot more resources, but that was the immediate survival. But all went wel. Thank God!

I believe that those people who were good to us and trusted us were God sent and in appreciation to what they did, i sometimes honor them and give little something as token of appreciation for trusting us, while others don’t.

Life was so difficult that time, but I never took those for granted, but took a great lesson and served as my driving force to become more helpful and generous to those who were at the same shoes as mine before. I truly thank God for the great opportunity. Glory be to Him forever.

Pursueing University in Philippines is never easy if you really have no regular source of income and just depending on offered works by somebody else or during the harvest or planting of rice season.


That was our situation before. Full of hardships, pains and difficulties. We needed all needed to go to the field and help somebody in their field just so to be paid and have something for the family.

We Were All Hardworking

I can still remember vividly when one of my uncle hired my brothers together with my Father to work in their field for a whole day contract and they agreed for a 1,000 fee for all of them. That motivated them all as it is already a big amount and it could shoulder all our school allowances for the week and some other needed stuff at home.

My Father spoke to my sibling to just finish it in one go. In short, they didn’t eat their lunches, they stayed till 3 pm so they could rest already for the rest of the day. After knowing that they did only for more than a half day, my uncle changed his mind and instead of paying them 1,000 peso, he only gave them 25 pesos each and that was only a hundred 100 peso as the half day fee before was just 25 pesos per individual.

That was a real shock and heartbreaking the fact that they sacrificed a lot endured tiredness, hunger & thirst just so to get the agreed amount which is considered life for the family. My Brothers were so angry and they all wanted to go to my uncle’s house and hurt him, but I intervened. I cooled them down and said, “ Let us take those as challenges for us to persevere more, finish our studies and lift up our family from poverty.

Uncle might have done so meanly, but on our side, though it hurts, it is so beneficial for our pursuit for success” That was my words.

I still remember for it is still so clear in my memory. We really took those challenges & we persevered.


Vengeance Is God's Not Ours

There are a lot more degrading and underestimating stories happened to us, and if I am going to relay all of those, space will never be enough. Full of tears, pains, pressures, difficulties, hurts and insults, struggles, persecutions, you name it, but thank God, those experiences fueled us to our most potential and brought us to where we are now.

At first, there was a feeling of wanting to revenge and show them that life is like a wheel. One day you are at the top and one day, you are at the bottom. I was saying before to myself that I will have my time too just like them, but when I was in Hong Kong, I got involved in a Charismatic ministry and really revolutionized my whole thinking.

That time I was so passionate in serving Him, pleasing Him in my day to day life at work. I had that intention before to revenge against my relatives and show them that I have money too and can now be able to buy anything that I wanted. But that plan didn’t realize. God took hold of my anger and the intention to revenge got replaced with love and compassion.

It turned into forgiving them and instead of earning dollars to show off, I earned God’s favor & mercy. I learned how to forgive and forget as I too was forgiven by God, and forgotten all of my eniquities.

.


Victim Became A Victor

As a result, when I went home for holiday, I bought a lot of Bibles and distributed to them house to house as an evidence that I have forgiven them.

They may not know that they hurt me and my family, but I knew deep inside me so I just deed what is right and noble, pleasing and admirable to God. The feeling was so good and heart-warming. I knew that the spirit of the Lord was with me and guiding me to do the right thing. Glory to Him forever.


MESSAGE

Now, upon hearing my stories on how I finished my studies coupled with lots of tears and sacrifices, overflowing sweats under the heat of the sun, tremendous endurance, pains, swallowed shame - you name it.

If you are at the same situation like me before or you know someone who are in this situation, you can be encouraged with these stories and experiences. I managed to endure everything and victoriously gained a happy and healthy life without lacking in any good thing.

Don’t lose hope. No matter how difficult your situation are. How dark your environment, no life, excitement because you are focused on what is missing, please! See life. There is always light at the end of the tunnel. Say you can do it and you can really do it. If you can look up, you can also get up.

There’s so much help now that we could avail our there and can run too for help. If you really strive harder and harder. Persevere. Aim higher and higher, do everything you can whatever it takes, you will surely win. You will surely be successful. Just do it.

“Success is for those who truly believe that they can. “

If you persevere, you will have it. If you are consistent, you will keep it. Just keep on going. Don’t look back, but look ahead! Have your focused and work on it.

Excellent post Villarose. It is sad when someone goes down the path of education and doesn't put in the effort to really capitalize on it and just went through the motions. Keep up the good work.

I do agree with you. I know so many of them who after finishing their studies took their life easy and just waited for the white collar job that they are aspiring for, but sad to say that they grew old already and never landed to one.
Sad,

Villarose

Well said Villarose. Until we learn to forgive, all our education and achievements will be but a glossy cover of the hurt within.
