Meet this happy-go-lucky dabarkads 'Jason and the Argonauts'... And as always, they are having an inuman (drinking session) complete with pulutan (food accompanying drinking sessions).
"Aga naman nyan para sa inuman " (that is too early for a drinking session).
Jason winked at me and in a soft voice uttered "Tito, eto lang ang alam ng mga taong walang silbi" (Uncle, this is what useless people do best).
Without hesitation, I answered back "Don’t ever call yourself useless. As long as you are alive today, you are useful. You just have to find your right place".
"Galing din ako riyan" (I've been there also) and "I know the pain of having nothing to do or seeming unimportant to the people around very well".
"Sumagi rin sa isipan ko noon na wala akong silbi" (This thing got to my head and I started calling myself useless).
But then I realized, I am not!
"Basta't buhay ka, may silbi ka" (As long as you are alive today, you are not useless).
Just because you have not found that right place for you in this world, you call yourselves useless.
"Hanapin nyo lang sarili nyo" (You just have to start looking for it.)
Don’t waste time thinking that you will never be good at anything, and start investing time in getting good at something. That’s how you solve the problem.
"Time management lang yan" . Find what you are good at and gain skills that you will use in life.
God has given each one of us a 'gift'. All you have to do is to unwrapped that gift.
Well said. My sister used to be a bum. She was very spoiled, too. But when she went to the US and started working, she enjoys it a lot. She recently bought her own house.

ReplyDeleteThere arealways things to do that i-s not worthless, you just have to find it and be productive.
ReplyDeleteIt is fun to spend time with friends as long as you know your limits.
ReplyDeleteWell said, Papaleng. You've given these boys a good piece of advice. I hope they learn from it.
ReplyDeleteI salute you Papaleng for prodding those kids to be productive so they would find their self worth, instead of wasting their precious time into binge drinking.
