Lessons Learned from 3 IDIOTS

Lessons Learned from 3 IDIOTS

Why are they called idiots, by the way? Maybe because they were labelled that way in the film, or maybe to make it catchy and interesting in the minds of the movie viewers..

Many were deeply amazed and were inspired by its story. It is being taught there that experience is always the best teacher.

Ibahin niyo ako. Haha! They’re really great. The actors acted very naturally, funny, and all. Toink. But here’s my point..

The movie is simply valuing life thru experience, and there’s nothing wrong about it. =))

So, ano’ng balak ko sa blog na to? Simple lang. As a Christian, they value:

1. Diskarte

2. Experience

3. Experience

4. Experience

5. Experience

Rancho? He was really a genius, at the same time, very COMPLACENT. Complacency according to my friend, Mr. Webster, is the state of a person being self-satisfied. Satisfied in a way that they’re not raising the bars anymore. They are once satisfied, very satisfied and extremely satisfied that they don’t want to make a move, and make a difference anymore.

It is being taught in there that:

1. it’s BAD to be so grade-conscious

2. it’s BAD to memorize

3. there’s no such term as SUICIDE, only MURDER

4. it’s GOOD not to study anymore

5. the more madiskarte you are, the more successful you’d become..

I like the movie in a way that it really shows the courage how tough college life may be. But I don’t like the way how it values complacency. Grades are just numbers and they are not important, they’d say.

Now the impact of the movie is this:

COLLEGE STUDENTS ARE NO LONGER RAISING THE BARS BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT GRADES AREN’T IMPORTANT AND EVERYTHING IS LEARNED THRU EXPERIENCE.

I was shocked how a certain classmate of me said that ASTIG TALAGA 3 IDIOTS. I LEARNED THAT GETTING AN UNO IS Not IMPORTANT, BUT THE LESSON YOU LEARN FROM IT.

WHAT I’M TRYING TO SAY NOW IS THAT WHY CAN’T THEY RAISE THE BARS? AND WHY CAN’T THEY STUDY HARD, AND PROVE TO THEMSELVES THEY ALSO CAN GET AN UNO, MAKE GOD AND THEIR PARENTS HAPPY?

If you’re raising the bars, that doesn’t mean that you don’t learn the experience from it. Just like me. God has turned me into a better person for making me learn how to raise the bars.

If others see there’s an improvement in you, they’d see Jesus within you. They’d say , WOW, SHE HAS A GREAT GOD, ANG TALINO NIYA..

Masama ang pagiging grade-conscious if that contains vain conceit. Yun bang, hindi mo na alintana ang masama sa mabuti, nafoforget mo na yung enjoyment, nakakasagasa ka na pala nang hindi mo alam..

Yun yun.

One more thing, BEST THINGS IN LIFE AREN’T PURELY BASED IN EXPERIENCE, DISKARTE, EXPERIENCE, DISKARTE... It’s on how you make a goal, you persevere, at the same time you enjoy, only for God’s glory.

Me? I have my goals. Sa ngayon, gusto kong maging COLLEGE SCHOLAR. And i will not be able to perform necessary things if not for Jesus. Sa bandang huli, God’s will pa rin ang mamamayagpag. =))

‘Yung experience kasi para sakin, is yung natutunan mong magpakumbaba, magpersevere, magpray at mag enjoy sa lahat ng nangyayari.

Iba pa rin kapag gumradweyt kang with honors, dala dala ang mga diskarte and exprience na natutunan mo. Pakikinggan ng ibang tao ang pinagdaanan mo, not like those who are far better than you na wala nang ginawa kundi magpakalasing sa libro, forgetting God, relying on their own wisdom, and even for those na wala nakuntento na lang, na ngangarap na maging ikaw, na nangangarap na magkaroon din sila ng Panginoon na meron ka, para maranasan din nila ang naranasan mo. Iba pa rin ang nakikipagkwentuhan ka regarding your success, at binibida mo ang Panginoon.

Not even close to perfection?

Hindi ko alam kung sino ang pinatatamaan ng babaeng to sa kanyang status.

She's using God's name. I am a daughter of God. What is she tryin' to point out?

Even if it's not me, there are some things that I want to clarify. Thank God, she's got that status.

First, one thing that will come into your mind when you are indeed a daughter of the Almighty, is that YOU STRIVE TO BE LIKE JESUS.

Right? You aim to be blameless and pure before Him. You've got the freedom to choose wisely between temptation and holiness because you no longer permit the devil to control you whole being.

Now, what I'm trying to say is this.

It's not wrong to justify things and be perfect. You cannot judge people kasi hindi naman ikaw ang Panginoon. You don't even know the story of his/her life. If you can't read his/her mind, how much more his/her heart?

I've just read about complacency in DO HARD THINGS book. Yeah. You are not only insensitive. You are also very complacent. You are being contented with this, with that... You want everything to be simple. Sayang. Maganda ka pa naman..

In other words, you simply like the color pink, without recognizing the presence of other colors.

You're striving to pass, but you're not striving to be the best. Although, it's really not important to be the best, but, it's just that, you can make a difference.

Yes, you've stepped outside the boat, pero hanggang saan ang kaya mong languyin? Whole Bora island? or all throughout the Pacific?

Yun yun eh.

Anyway, enough of this. One day, you'll realize why.

I'm the kind of girl whom you think strives to be perfect dahil mataas ang standards ng Panginoon ko eh..

Mataas.. sobrang taas..

I hope that one day, you'll see the beauty of Christ in my life.

One more thing.. It's not wrong to strive for perfection... It's wrong to be forever complacent..

Hindi ka naman kasi marunong magpromote!

Alam mo naman siguro kung ano ang kulang sayo, right?

You're not exerting much effort.

Hindi naman sa pinagmamayabang ko ang sarili ko..

75% of the work is done by me.

Hanggang sa promotion ba naman, ayaw mo pa din ako tulungan?

Hindi sa hindi ako kuntento sa mga ginagawa mong pagpopost sa walls ng mga kakilala naten.

Are you really sending them messages regarding our four podcasts?

Let me share to you the possibilities na you're really not exerting much effort as I do:

1. hindi umeexceed ng 100 likes ang video naten. I only have 400 friends, but you have more and more and more friends na halos kakilala mo pa.

2. Most of the people na nag lilike any friends ko.. Yep! Friends ko.. where are your friends? Hindi ba nila nareceive ang message mo? Halos lahat naman ata sila ka-close mo..

3. As far as i'm concerned, nakita ko nga kung paano mo ipromote ang podcasts natin only thru you wall.. bakit? naiilang kang magsend ng messages? dahil natatakot ka ring i-delete ka nila online? hmm..

I'm sorry to say these things unexpectedly, but you know naman how much I raise the bars now. I'm not like you who's a sports major. Nagbago na ko. Hindi na ko tulad ng dati na sobrang complacent. You know naman, may balak din akong maging CS hindi tulad nyo, na pumasa lang ayos na.

Gusto ko din pasayahin ang Panginoon at parents ko sa mga ginagawa ko dito sa UP. I'm not finding a perfect partner.. I'm finding someone who's worth the hardwork, who's responsible and NOT PROUD..

CMS 105, major subject. And kahit isang subject lang yan, I'm striving for an Uno.... because I'm not a sports major.....
