Strive For EXCELLENCE,not PERFECTION. :)



Mediocrity- honestly, I really don't know it's meaning. This is my first time to encounter it. I can't recall seeing it in my readings nor heard for it from people I've spoken. I don't remember either hearing such word from the many programs I've watched in the television. So I thought it's uncommon word used only in technical writings or a term paper in Sociology or Psychology. To understood the word, I made a research using internet.
From what I discover, the Thesaurus meaning of mediocrity as a noun is, "nonentity or ordinariness." Nonentity means non-existing thing or an insignificant person or thing. So self-explanatory because by way of the five senses or even the so called, "sixth sense" one can tell if a living or a non-living thing is in existence or not. The significant or insignificant of a person or thing will depend on judgement of every individual.



The success of failure of an event or occasion can only be assessed by these who have direct involvement or participation. Another meaning of mediocrity is ordinariness which means the quality of being commonplace and ordinary. Mediocrity to be more understood is synonymous to familiar words like average and not outstanding and expectedness- ordinariness as consequence of being expected and not surprising. Commonness is another synonyms of mediocrity. To conclude mediocrity may sound to be a difficult word but deep it is just an ordinary word.


Mediocrity Quotes:
-"Ridicule is the tribute paid to the genius by the mediocrities. -Oscar Wide"



-"Mediocrity is self-inflicted. Genius is self-bestowed. -Walter Russel" 
-"In the republic of mediocrity, genius is dangerous. -Robert Green Ingersoll"

Excellence is a noun meaning the state or quality of excelling or being exceptionally good, extremeness or superiority. This word is repeatedly heard and read in our everyday living. This becomes a common word to people in all walks of life, to praise whoever has done exceptionally  good jobs. With the use of this word, one can see the finality of quality on how a work was done. Whoever is addressed of this word will extreme accomplishment and achievement.





In mediocrity, a person is being looked down, thinking that s/he has a very limited capacity. A person who excels in his work is being looked up, believing he has high intelligence. An individual who is so called "genius" can be both mediocrity and excellent. A genius is said to be excellent in one or two aspects but remains average on the rest. A Math or Science genius may not be good in English and Psychology. An ordinary office clerk or secretary is excellent in taking down notes but average only in decision making. It's an individual's choice to excel or remain on the average level. There are million or maybe infinite ways and means to excel. Those who stay on the average may not have discovered and developed their potentials. Everyone is equipped with talent, it's your choice to excel or be man ordinary category.


Excellence Quotations:
-"Belief  is the death of intelligence. -Robert Anton"
-"Action is the real measure of intelligence. -Napoleon Hill"
-"A woman uses her intelligence to find reasons to support her intuition. -Gilbert K. Chesterton"

For me, I think I'm mediocrity person, because I know and I admit that I'm not so good/excellent as what others expected to me. As a President of our section, I may not be a perfect leader but I will prove to be a good example that my classmates(MMA1-1) can be proud of.

"From time immemorial to FUTURISTIC tomorrow"



Just like Man's Evolution, from a simple caveman to the present human from, technology has gone very far and may go farther in the future. The very primitive way of communication like smoke signals used by the Indians is now transformed into the latest form of technology using our fingers only. Information and ideas, are dispatched in the fastest way as they can be.

With these continuous  innovations in technology, gifted persons out battle each other to come up with a more sophisticated and latest things to sell in the market. Those in the communication sector are the most in seek of this thing because of competition. Information dissemination is very critical as to who could send it fastest.

Thus, the battle will continue. Merging of two or more technologies will be possible. And in the farther future even those ideas that are still housed in the brain can be auctioned to the highest bidder.

Its The BEST! ☺

Last week, Miss A gave us a project for our Prelim Examination and the topic is "Communication and Technology". Miss A assigned Janelli Veldazco, Rogelio Sasam, Andrew Abrigo, Louina Beato and Arvie Surio to be the group leaders. Each leader is free to choose their group members.

Janelli Veladazco chose me, Lou San Mateo, Marie Stella Joy Alcazor, Jojie Arroyo and Allan De Ocampo as members. During our meeting we've decided to compare nature and technology for little uniqueness. So we  made our VID presentation along with the other groups. There are feed backs that they didn't understand our presentation but nevertheless were proud of it. we put our best time and effort in it.

I know that all the groups did their best in every presentation but then only one has to stand out.
For me, Andrew Abrigo's group had it.
Why? Just because the teamwork was great and the effort was amazing.
All in all there presentation as a whole was clear, informative and interesting. ☺

HAHA! Cant erase on my mind what happened last Friday. I really enjoy the party esp. when we our performing our presentation.
And of course there will be no happiness if my friend MMA students were not there to participate the party.
Even though were not that so close to each other we feel that we are so close to each other esp. when we are performing our presentation. Thanks also to this party because we've  realized that we can be like brothers/sisters. Were now starting to know each other and open some conversations.

The FRIENDSHIP begins to grow. Now, I would say that my classmates are very cool and AWESOME just like ME.(HAHA! LOL. Just kidding) Just like CAS family esp.

Thanks  to her we perform our presentation very well. ☺

TRAFFIC SUCKS! >:))

 
Every time traffic starts, I get irritated. Traffic is a waste of time for people going to work, school and to those having emergency cases. As a student, I have to adjust my time from waking up much early to avoid being late in my school. This very same irritation gets into my nerve in going home from school to our house.
Also its sad to say that traffic build up also allows some petty and heinous crimes to happen from bad snatching to murders.



However, there could also be advantages in traffic. It may prevent accidents because of the slow moving vehicles. Bad elements can easily be apprehended when caught in traffic.



Therefore, its really mad to admit that traffic congestion has become part of our life because it occurs anytime of the day. However, time adjustment and management is a good answer to battle traffic problems. And foremost, always remember. 



"BE PATIENT" because patience is a virtue. ☺
