Points to ponder

We have this professor that we all are fond of for he is really fun to be with. He always makes our class an enjoyable environment to learn with. I guess he has this nature of making jokes out of the practical view of what is really going on in everything he has great interest of. He always does “tira” to anyone he find faults with. Well, in a way it’s really a good thing. He constantly makes sermons. He makes us see the flaws of our studies, school, the world and even how we plan our future.
Recently he made another sermon.

First, he reminded us about the major paper we are to submit this semester about our strategic plan on our institute. He pointed out about how it should have a great impact on defining and resolving issues and problems within the institute. He advised us to look deep and direct our interest on the subject’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. He also stressed out that we should take considerations on the political, economical, social, technological and environmental aspects. Both internal and external factors must be considered in order to generate a good strategic plan.

Second, he pointed out how we should have our own strategic plan in achieving our goals. He questioned us on what plans do we have in our minds to make things happen or do we have a finite viewpoint on what our future will look like. These questions that I know made everyone think. It was a big snap. He asserted that it’s either we fail to plan our future or we plan to fail to it. It got me thinking, that was a bit weird. Who would ever dare plan just to fail? But it made me realize that what he was pointing out that if we don’t plan ahead and set our main objectives in life, its like we’re just letting everything pass us by, ruining our chances and that would lead us to our failure. It’s simply saying of getting reading to face the consequence of failure. Now we don’t that to happen, right? It’s an eye opener to what reality is. I hope to see myself to have a clear view of what I want my future would look like and ways on how will I reach it.
