After watching videos of Filipinos conquering talent competitions
outside Ph, I've realized that commonly, here in our country, if you have the
face, you don't need any talent or skill. In other countries, they want your
rawness. In other words, they genuinely appreciate not only what you have
physically but also what you can do skillfully.
and oh... we also have this mentality that we only become proud
real quick if we see our fellow Filipinos win these contests internationally. Seriously? Did
you feel that when they were still here in Ph showcasing what they've got!?
Hypocrites!
FYI: Their triumph is not yours because, from the very first place,
you weren’t that proud! Let's stop stealing their limelight because it's kind of an insult to them. What a shame!
Let me ask you these sad questions...
Why can't we appreciate someone even if he/she isn't the winner? Why can't we appreciate little things? Do we really need to step into the bigger and brighter spotlight to gain respect, appreciation, and love? I think we must change this mindset that I call "aftershock and after-proud"!
Let's give them a break after breaking a leg here in the country! If someone wins in a cheap-as-what-you-think contests, learn to applaud! I also believe that we must start being like an X-RAY! Let's recognize not only what we see from the outside. Let's also value what's on the inside! Did you get it?
