Jon Santos - "Follow your passion.. I did"
Today is the 11th day of February and we were instructed to head towards the auditorium of our building. For there will be a speech by Jon Santos about his unique journey.
Now let's talk a bit about Mr. Jon Santos. He was famous for impersonating many politicians, celebrities, and the like such as Ate Vi, Sherap Estrada, Sen. Meeryam Defensive, Krissy Aquino and much, much more.
He has been doing these impersonations for almost four decades, and he has been renowned as "The man with many faces".
Jon Santos gave a very wholesome and serious - though at some point, very funny - speech. He told us about his elementary days when he used to copy the movements of his teachers and mimicking the way they speak. And about his college days when he used to study about Economics.
He told us that the path leading to his career at the present didn't really involve much of what he studied while he was in college, but he was able to use his knowledge in much more different ways.
Now during his speech, he gave us ten things to remember when we are finally about to choose our own paths in finding suitable careers, most of which I can't remember anymore.
But a single sentence caught my attention. Just one sentence engraved into my mind up to this moment:
"Learning what you love will make you the richest person in the world"
This one short and simple sentence left such a huge impact on me. Learning more and more about the things you love doing and being able to do these for an income, would absolutely be just the best thing in the world. No matter how hard things get, being able to do things you enjoy the most, well, you wouldn't really complain, would you?
That's it for today.
If you've read through all my blabbering, thank you.
