People Cried...

"God Will Make A Way- where there seems to be no way. He works in ways we cannot see- He will make a way for me" These were the first lines of the song I played and the graduates sang at my Alma Mater's graduation ceremonies. They were actually crying since Donah's valedictory address emphasizing on the saying "Poverty is not a hindrance to success- persevere and trust God." Then here came the valediction song "God Will Make A Way"- and people went on wiping tears off their now glistening faces...

It's real people- poverty is not and will never be a hindrance to success... Many of us earthlings found light on these sayings, and became the heroes and heroines of rags-to-riches stories of today.

Donah's address was of her first experiences in school- the up-to-late night study periods, and how she studied under the flickering light of their only oil lamp. It's kind of hard, really, to be under these circumstances- but sometimes, it's what it takes to be a champion in your life afterwards. Donah, as I can regard her, is the crying fighter. She had cried in her victorious moments- in her SSG win, where she was a little reluctant to run, and tonight, in her valedictory address, she proved to be and came to win after all... after everything she had been into.

Why not?! Everyone can do the same. Most of us are so blessed with all the facilities we have even at home. But sometimes these make us lax and carefree and unmindful of the things we really should be prioritizing. Sometimes, it makes us invest into things that won't give long-lasting fulfillment. In short, only for the moment and not for the future.

Earthlings, take time to remember this- all is vanity... Huh?! Ive just been doing my reading a little too much- the quarter's over anyway. Let's be expecting for a new set of lessons... Err- back to the topic. But there can be vanities that may last a little longer than the others. Why not focus on them and make a difference in our lives.

Be it people. Be big. Be at the finish line- I'll be there.
