PHILOSOPHY

“I have to do my best in order to be successful”. In order to be successful, I need to be the best

because being good is not enough; being better is not enough to be successful in life. Example:
In college, if you don't do your best, you will not graduate. As a college student at Calamba
Doctors College, I will do my best so that I will not blame myself for everything that will happen
in the future. In order to be a doctor, I will do my best as a Cadocians student who has a goal and
a dream in life.
My philosophy in life is "it does not matter how slow you are as long as you don’t give up". I
admit that sometimes I’m slow to understand everything; sometimes I have a hard time
understanding something that the teacher is teaching or my friends are talking about, but I know
for sure that I never give up on things easily because it makes people think that I'm weak.
Example scenario: in chemistry or calculus, if I did not follow to understand, I would ask my
teacher or my friends to do it again to teach me how they come up with the solution so that I
could understand it. I always do this; I am not just like others who are afraid to ask because
people will laugh at me. I don’t want to give up. I will try again and again until I understand it.
There are many ways to understand it; just find solutions to your problems. I always say to mom
that whatever happens in my college life, I will give up. I will definitely cry, be stressed, and get
no sleep, but I will never give up because giving up will give me nothing. So I need to always
give my best in everything. I just need to be patient with myself to learn and understand and
show others that I am not giving up. I need to fight and fight until I am successful because in life
you will face many defeats. I will never let myself be defeated, so I need to keep going to face
my defeats. I will fall, but I will not give up. I will stand as I face problems in life. And I need to
understand that I have to get a point or ideas that I can understand by myself, not others, because
we have different ways of learning, so I need to find mine and understand it better so I can
understand better.

I'm not ashamed of being slow, but I'm proud that I don’t give up. I need to be more aware of
myself. I accept that I can't control myself for being so slow, but I know I'm trying, I'm working
so hard, and I study until morning because I know that one of my learning habits is to study at
night, mostly late, so that I can focus myself more and eliminate all distractions, for example, my
phone, so that I can focus myself more. I believe in that poet's café saying that" no matter how
difficult your current situation may be, how many tears you’ve shed, how overwhelmed you feel,
or how much you want things to change, don’t give up. Things won’t stay this way forever. Keep
fighting and pushing though". For me, we should not be hard on ourselves because you will just
overthink and be under pressure, and you will lose focus on that. You should just do your best,
and that’s a good and better idea to be more successful. No matter how slow a learner you are, as
long as you do your best, you will succeed in life. "The bravest thing that you can do is keep
going, even when you want to give up, by alifeofhopeuk.
