1. Start with a
grateful heart.
Maraming tao ang hindi nabibigyan
ng chance na makapag-aral kaya dapat ipagpasalamat mo kay Lord na
nakakapag-aral ka. Jesus came that we may have life, and have to the full (John
10:10). Having an education is one way for you to live a full life. It offers a
lot of opportunities. Kaya bago ka mag-review para sa exam, pasalamatan mo si
Lord. Bago ka magsagot sa exam, pasalamatan mo si Lord. Bago ka ma-traffic sa
umaga papasok sa school, pasalamatan mo si Lord. Kasi yung iba, pinapanalangin
pa lang na maranasan din nila ang mga bagay na yun. Be thankful. Don't take
school for granted.
2. Embrace the
hardship.
Dapat willing kang mahirapan.
Dapat willing kang ma-haggard. There will always be difficult situations habang
nag-aaral ka. Wag ka mag-expect na laging petiks lang. Nothing worth having
comes easy. Mahihirap na exams, research, reporting, minor subjects na
pa-major, financial problems, family problems, di ka crush ng crush mo, ang dami mong pimples, etc. Lahat ng
yan pagdadaanan mo, pero hindi ka dapat panghinaan ng loob. Hindi mo dapat
isipin na hindi mo kaya dahil hindi ka mag-isa na haharap sa lahat ng yan. Be
strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord
your God will be with you wherever you go (Joshua 1:9).
3. Strive for
excellence.
Excellence doesn't always mean
being the best among the rest. Sometimes, excellence means being a better you.
Hindi mo dapat ikumpara ang sarili mo sa iba dahil iba-iba ang landas na
inihanda ni Lord para sa atin. We are all intelligent and talented in different
ways. We will bloom at our own time, at our own pace. So dapat gawin mo yung
best mo. Do not settle for "pwede na". Start from the most basic
things. Do not be late in class, do not be absent, take notes. And in striving
to be a better version of yourself, do not be afraid to fail. It only becomes a
failure when you don't learn from it. So win or learn; never lose. Don't let
fear of failure stop you from being the victorious person God called you to be.
For God has not given us a spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound
mind (2 Timothy 1:7).
4. Be a person of
integrity.
Maraming estudyante ang tamad
mag-aral pero ayaw bumagsak, kaya nandadaya na lang sila. The truth is, exam is
not a measure of intelligence but a measure of character. Dito masusukat ang
iyong paninindigan bilang tao. Kung hindi ka nakapag-aral sa isang exam at alam
mong hindi ka makakasagot, face the consequence. 'Wag mo nang dayain ang sarili
mo. Be humble enough to accept na posibleng bumagsak ka at bumawi ka na lang sa
susunod. It's better to have an honest zero than a stolen 100. Maniwala ka na
kaya mo ring magtagumpay nang hindi nandadaya. Nakikita ni Lord ang mga
ginagawa mo at hindi Niya kalooban na gumawa ka ng bagay na hindi makabubuti
sayo. Gusto Niya na maging deserving ka sa bawat tagumpay at blessings na
ibibigay Niya sayo. Bigyang-halaga ninyo ang kaharian ng Diyos at ang pamumuhay
ng ayon sa kanyang kalooban, at ibibigay niya sa inyo ang lahat ng mga bagay na
ito (Mateo 6:33).
5. Lastly, let God be
God.
Kapag dumating sa point na sobrang
hirap na ng mga bagay para sayo, nawawalan ka na ng pag-asa at hindi mo na
naiintindihan ang mga nangyayari, let God be God. Trust on who God is. He who
is all powerful. He who is all knowing. He who is faithful. He who loves you.
Magbago man ang sitwasyon, magbago ka man, si Hesus, hindi magbabago ang
pagmamahal Niya sayo. Kahit sarili Niyang buhay ibinigay Niya para iligtas ka
sa mga kasalanan mo. What makes you think na hindi ka Niya ililigtas sa mahirap
na sitwasyon mo ngayon? When you focus on who God is and allow Him to be the
Lord and Savior of your life, you will have the freedom to live out His
wonderful plans for you. You will have that confidence that in all things God
works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his
purpose (Romans 8:28).
