Values that molds

Throughout my stay as undergraduate on college, I have learned several values in life. I've learned that, to be able to improve and be at your best you must have values. I've learned values on different ways. I learned through friends, I learned through myself, I learned through failures, I learned through catastrophic casualties. At first I've thought that life on college would only be a repeating process and so I've practiced myself to repeat processes but I noticed that I wasn't improving at all. I have questioned myself repeatedly on what's missing until I saw this one guy on class who have failed our subject 3 times. I asked him, "What makes you brave enough to take another shot and not care about what others say?". He replied, "willingness to learn and accept failure".

I was curious on the phrase "accept failure". He explained it to me. He told me if you are really willing to learn and change you so should never back off no matter what happens because the moment you gave up means its the end of your opportunity to change things. I was amazed and spirited on what he just said to me. I came to the realization that I was not learning and accepting things I have to accept. From that day onwards, I have decided to put values in my life and apply them on every single day I wake up. Everyday I tell myself to do my best, do what is right and learn through the things I observe in everyday.

Until now I continue to put values on whatever I do because putting values on what you do makes you feel good about it and more proud. Instead of me copying a homework from a classmate, I tend to do a homework by myself and learn from it. Instead of me procrastinating like before, I tend to do things in advance. Instead of me getting a shortcut on every math problems like before, now I tend to know and understand the concept of problem solving. You see, applying values in life is hard at first but its worthwhile. You can see a big difference when you do it. You feel more light, happy and more proud on what you do. 

I learned through the past experiences I had on college to value the values and value every single day as an opportunity to change the way things are for the good. With this in mind, I continue to strive hard to become a worthy engineering degree holder.
