Success Is A Journey

-
A thought came into my mind earlier this evening, as I am pondering about a thing called success. A thing that is being chased by everyone, including me of course. I Just realized that success is not an end. It's not like a coffee bean that is packed and sold on supermarkets. And when it happens, it marks the end of it.

 Success is A process, its a journey. success is the act of being happy while doing what you do. Doing your passion with a little regard for what you can get from it. Success is about happiness. One of the greatest thing that happened to me this day, or should I say, last day, because technically as I am writing this post, it's already 1:00 in the morning is @Sthompsonauthor #Scott Thompson followed me on twitter. 'm not the kind of fanatic guy but for me having a connection with this kind of person is a great help for greatest fantasy. I would never forget his tweet to me.  Start writing short stories. Be sure to read and write every day. Back to the topic of success, the successful are those having a deep sense of happiness in their lives. As of now, I am writing three novels, simultaneously. I am now a successful writer because I am happy of what I am doing. Now is the time of my life that the fear of sounding lame is being pushed out of my worldview.   As of now, I am not afraid of calling my self a writer. I might be an unpublished writer as of this moment, but I know, that I'm on the process. Success is a journey. The first steps might be painful, because it would mean
 leaving something behind. In the middle of the journey is confusion. One might be tempted to go back, go the other way or stop. 'Those who quit does not win.' I believe it. in relation to writing, those who quit, would not be published. Now, as a covenant to myself and to some poor soul who happens to be reading this poor blog, I am bringing down this promise. I will write. I might not be published for now, but I will still write.. Other people would label me as stupid, I will still write. Some would see me as weird, I will take it with all my heart.

Why Teachers Should Read Paulo Freire as A Teacher: A Reading Guide for Freire

JERONE AVEL S. CANSINO, MAED   In this article, I want to share one particular book. This book is titled “Pedagogy of the Oppressed,” and for me, this is one of the best Philosophical pieces written about the impact of education on human society. It is a seminal book written by Brazilian educator and philosopher Paulo Freire. He published it in 1970. Here, he presented a critical and transformative approach to education and is often considered a foundational text in the field of critical pedagogy. I would love to say that as a teacher, this work has influenced me far beyond my four-year professional education training during my undergraduate school years. I have heard (or read) somewhere that you know you are reading a good Philosophical work when you get yourself disturbed and when your perception of reality is shaken. This exactly happened to me. The book is rather short as it is only composed of 4 Chapters. The first chapter justifies the “ pedagogy of the oppressed .” Here, he...

The Message of the Talking Tree

The Message of the Talking Tree Jerone Cansino Look at the tree illumined by the shadow of the night.  Look at him as watch the waves. As he watch the water break itself as it hit the ground, look at him.  Look at how he witness the change of seasons and how he count the appearance of the sun.  Look at the tree. Look at him how let go of his leaves and hold on to the same. Look at him as he grow with his feet firmly planted on the ground. Look at the tree, look at how he sing with the melody of the wind. Hear his cry as men destroy his kind with the least appreciation of their importance. Look at the tree as he shelter the small birds look at him. Look at him and hear him speak. Hear all the lessons he want to teach. Hear all those advises he wants you to heed. Look at him, look at him. He does not walk but he do exist. He does not work but he does serve. He gives more than he receive, he is indeed. ...
