“What weighs more, our attitude or our brain? ”

ABCD a comes first before the b and apple will always be first before the ball. But is it okay to skip A and
go to b for it is important to feed the brain and forget the rest? A pleasant morning 12 Gold I’m Lambert
De Lara and I would like you to lend me your ears. As life gets stressful day by day, specially for us grade
12 we find it hard to communicate and ask our old friends how are they. We are too focused in feeding
our brain by answering the what, the whys’ and we forgot to ask the how, specifically on how to be a
human. I know some of you may find my speech offensive but, I would like to wake you, to shake us
rather that we need to feed our heart as well and it is necessary to maintain a positive attitude
throughout life. A good attitude will help win new relationships and maintain old ones. A good attitude
involves carrying patience during any reverse circumstances. It will have a domino effect with others. .

I would like to ask why people tend to belittle others just because they think they are superior or maybe
because they think that the strand or the course they took was harder than what others are taking. Can I
say that the teachers are inferior with lawyers because they only studied for 4 years? Or maybe because
they studied in a prestigious school so they have the right to trivialized the blood and sweats of others in
surviving a day in school. These are the things that always pop up into my mind whenever I see or hear
people saying “ay TVL lang ang course mo?” “ uy TVL diba luto lutolang dyan, kulot kulot, kulay kulay?” “
TVL diba mahina brain cells ng mga yan?” and the list continuous.
