Business differs in many ways compared to other fields of study. Studies like law or science are fields that needs to be taught due to the high difficulty it yields to self teach. Business is a field that is all driven from pure personal experience, how to read people, appealing them in a way to make purchases. All those knowledge are built from day to day life experiences, but it’s not everyday you sue somebody or need to operate on another person. The only reason I see use for business programs in schools are for those who have social anxiety and have difficulty getting the experience they need in the real world or connections. Connection is everything in this field. Regardless of a degree one might have, the person who knows of the person hiring will always be given the first opportunity to prove what ability he has in the field prioritized over others. On top of that because of the high demand business programs hold, the tuition is normally doubled compared to other programs. People always tell me that I will be limited in my field without a degree, I can only agree to a small extent. In science yes, but in business is all about connections and experiences. Without connections, the degree is all that matters, but with time people put into their studies in post-secondary, many connections can be made, experiences can be gained. Experience is the best way to show their boss what they’re capable of doing, all a degree shows is that you can learn or suck up because of how subjective business is. Because of the time i’ve already invested into school, I will not give in now. No sense of looking in the past that cannot be changed, but I will make good use of my perspective and work towards a better future.

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted on Tumblr. This year has been great, not great as in everything has gone the way I wanted it, but great that I become a new person everytime something doesn’t go the way I wanted it to. I’ve made a lot of mistakes in my life, but I truly believe everything happens for a reason and that every person has their own personal choice on what to make of it. Nothing can hurt you unless you let it hurt you. Through all the pains in life, I have made the best of both my ups and downs. As a kid in elementary school and in my family, I was isolated out and alone at times; every cousin had their own siblings to team with that’s in their age range for every game we play, while all mine are well off in their life. Instead of crying abut it, I told myself to be strong and tried to excel in everything I do, except school haha, that’ll never change. Soon after that, every game, activity, challange that was on my path, I was able to handle with ease. When one is angry, they would not be able to control their thoughts right or do things they normally won’t do that may become a regret in the future. When you let you let somebody get you angry, you have already lost the war. I was able to beat my cousins at games when I was 5 while he was 12, which he got angry and threw me outside in disgrace of his loss. People always tell me that I can’t take loss, I can’t be wrong, but in all honesty, as long as I tried my best or got something out of the defeat, it is truly a win. To those who read this, I apologize if my words make no sense and to those who didn’t, good. I just had random thoughts about how thankful I am for what I have today, a loving girlfriend, family, friends, work, a meaning to living and life goals. Remember, the past cannot be changed, use it to mold yourself a better future.

Thanks for giving me a chance to live my life Mom. Happy Mothers day!

Love,
