Isa sa mga salitang napag-aralan natin sa wikang Pilipino ay ang salitang NABANSOT.
Kapang ang isang bagay daw ay dapat pang lumaki ngunit ito'y tumigil na sa paglaki, ang bagay na
ito raw ay NABANSOT. Marami raw uri ng pagkabansot ngunit ay pinakamalungkot na uri raw ay
ang pagkabansot ng isipan, ng puso at ng diwa.

Ang panahon ng kabataan ay panahon ng paglaki, ngunit ang ating paglaki ay kailangang paglaki, at
pag-unlad ng ating buong katauhan, hindi lamang ng ating sukat at timbang. Kung ga-poste man ang
ating taas at ga-pison man ang ating bigat ngunit kung ang pag-iisip naman nati'y ga-kulisap lamang
kay pangit na kabansutan. Kung tumangkad man tayong tangkad-kawayan at bumilog man tayong
bilog-tapayan, ngunit kung tayo nama'y tulad nibondyingay di mapagkatiwalaan-anong laking
kakulangan. Kung magkakatawan tayong katawangTarzanat mapatalas ang ating isipang sintalas ng
kay Rizal, ngunit kung ang ating kalooban nama'y itim na duwende ng kasamaan-anong kapinsalaan
para sa kinabukasan.
Kinabukasan, kabataan, tayo raw ang pag-asa ng Inang Bayan. Tayo raw ang maghahatid sa kanya
sa langit ng kasaganaan at karangalan o hihils sa kanya sa putik ng kahirapan at kahihiyan. Ang
panahon ng pagkilos ay ngayon, hindi bukas, hindi sa isang taon. Araw-araw ay tumutuwid tayong
palangit or bumabaluktod tayong paputik. Tamang-tama ang sabi ng ating mga ninunong kung ano
raw ang kinamihasnan ay siyang pagkakatandaan. Huwag nating akalaing makapagpapabaya tayo
ng ating pag-aaral ngayon at sa araw ng bukas ay bigla tayong magiging mga dalubhasang
magpapaunlad sa bayan. Huwag nating akalaing makapaglulublob tayo ngayon sa kalaswaaan at
kahalayan at sa mahiwagang araw ng bukas sigla tayong magiging ulirang mga magulang.
Kabataan, tunay na pag-ibig sa bayan, ang tunay na nasyonalismo, ay wala sa tamis ng pangarap
wala rin sa pagpag ng dila. Ang tunay na pag-ibig ay nasa pawis ng gawa.
Ang anak man ay alagaan sa marubdob na pagsuyo sikapin ma sa sarili'y huwag siyang maging luko
talipandas sa paglaki na sa sama marahuyo sa lahi mo't sa Bayan may isang tinik sa balaho.

Success often comes to those with humble beginnings, Elvis Aron Presley was born on January 8,
1935, in Tupelo, Mississippi. He first sang in a church choir and taught himself to play the guitar,
but he never learned to read music. By 1953, he had moved to Memphis, Tennessee, graduated from
high school, and enrolled in night school to become an electrician. That year, at Sun Records,
Presley recorded a personal record for his mother, a song that was heard by the company's
president. As a result of the president's recognition, Presley's first record, That's all Right, Mama,
was out in 1954.
INFINITHINK Page 4
He toured the South, and in 1955 five of his records were released simultaneously. His first national
television appearance was that year on Jackie Gleason’s The Stage Show, but Presley became known
for his appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, where the young singer gyrated as he sang rock n' roll
music. During the live television performance, Presley was photographed only from the waist up
because his motions were considered obscene.
Elvis the Pelvis began his film career in 1956 with LOVE ME TENDER and signed a long term film
contract. The movie critics were not always kind, but teenagers flocked to Presley's films. Within a
few short years, Presley had established a career that would span twenty-five years of ups and
downs and make him one of the most popular entertainers in history. Long after his untimely death
at age 42, Presley would be remembered as The King of Rock n' Roll
