Success(ful) Dinner

One dinner time back in 3rd year high school...

(the night of 4th quarter release of cards)

Dad: Anak, do you want to be successful?

Sam: sorta,

Dad: You really have to study well.

Sam: ugh, not really. I don't want to be successful just happy *big grin*

Dad: Look at mommy, she's happy because she's a succcessful woman.

Sam: Yeah, I admire her...not her success though, but the way she maintains it. Ano kasi, parang...it's easy to achieve success kasi. Everyone could do that. And I don't want to be like everyone else.

Dad: ...

Sam: I mean, success doesn't define who you are. It's like an accessory, so no big deal. Ang corny naman kasi nung mga nagsasabi kong classmates na "i want to be successful..blah...blah...blah..." utot nila. Everyone naman kasi nagiging successful sa isang point ng buhay nila. Pero most of them, after that success...downfall naman. Yung typical na when-they-get-it-they-lose-it.

Dad: mag-aral ka anak ng mabuti. Para pag na-achieve mo na ang success sa right time sa buhay mo, hindi sayo mawala agad katulad ng sabi mo.

Sam: dadeh kasi, ang lalim ng tinatanong di naman ako Philosopher. May success pang nalalaman at right time chorva po...eh sa totoo lang, ikaw ang success ko! *hug*

*syempre, meron yang 'nom...nom...nom...intervals' =)) kaya ako nakapag-isip ng matino.
