Pinoy Big Brother is a reality show on television whereby housemates are given various tasks and challenges to show off their personalities and test their ability to deal with other individuals. ABS-CBN recently concluded PBB Teen Edition on July 7, 2012 and proclaimed Myrtle Sarrosa as the Big Winner at Malolos Sports and Convention Center.
What I admired most with Myrtle is her determination to win the competition. She had a clear goal of making it to the top. For instance, among the Big Four, she was the sole contender to be very honest of winning the contest. She was wholehearted in putting her banner on the flag hole even if it meant criticisms from the society by virtue of “pakikisama” or living up with the Joneses so to speak. She didn’t mind what other people think of her, instead, she pursued her dream of becoming the BIG WINNER – This I like and would love to emulate because oftentimes, I become so conscious of what other people think of me. This reminds me of Dr. Amen’s 18/40/60 rule which goes:
“When you’re 18, you worry about what everybody is thinking of you; when you’re 40, you don’t give a darn what anybody thinks of you; when you’re 60, you realize nobody’s been thinking about you at all.”
We shouldn’t be clouded with our reservations of what other people may think of us. Oftentimes, this could hinder us from doing actions that would make us become better persons and be successful.
I’m not an avid fan of PBB because there are tasks that I find irrelevant and nonsense. Nevertheless, lessons learned make it worth the watch.
To all young men out there, continue believing in your dreams. Never let anyone take it away from you through their criticisms, so long as you are doing things right. God bless us... :-)
