...a final note from Serway


Yes. Serway. As in author ng Physics book natin. But before that, i want to recall the things that happened to me this day.

Last day of perio today. Woot. Happiness.

Picture taking din with Sir Duli and Mam Chups. Woot. Charm love. Hahah.

CAT creative marching. Funny, super.

STRessed even after exams. The reason is pretty obvious.

Viscom tomorrow.

Few days remaining. So little time, so many things left to do.

A very random post.

Anyways. Who would have thought na may lessons in life din pala ang Physics sa atin. If you are one of those na laging nagbabasa ng Physics nina Serway at Beichner, then you might have come across this already. Pero for some who don't, here it is.

The Meaning of Success


To earn the respect of intelligent people and to win the affection of children;
To appreciate the beauty of nature and all that surrounds us;
To seek out and nurture the best in others;
To give the gift of yourself to others without the slightest thought of return, for it is in giving that we receive;
To have accomplished a task, whether it be saving a lost soul, healing a sick child, writing a book, or risking your life for a friend;
To have celebrated and laughed with great joy and enthusiasm and sung with exultation;
To have hope even in times of despair, for as long as you have hope, you have life;
To love and be loved;
To be understood and understand;
To know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived;
This is the meaning of success.
