At the first glance, I am thinking of who he is? what's his purpose there at school? I said to myself that he looks familiar, I think I have seen him somewhere. That was my reaction towards this guy after seeing him along while I'm buying some drinks at the convenience store. My friends told me that "yeah he's an artist plus a comedian from the past, well until now I think?" So I started to say "ohh, that's why", and they keep saying the "yeah" word. Hahahaaha it was very funny, until one moment came, luckily he was able to fit in in the elevator we are riding.

I didn't knew that he was the one being told, the one they said "behold, Jon Santos", then the crowd started to cheer and yell like "woooooh" and I was like "wooooh the what?" hahahaha then my friends were laughing at me again. Then he started his speech upon holding the microphone saying and expressing himself as a gay who grew in a family of military men. As I was searching through, he is one of the three Philippine show business personalities who have Argawanon blood. He is more popularly known as a Filipino comedian, actor and most especially an impersonator.




He was there, right in front of us, speaking for the passion of us students. I thought that it would be something unsual but he was telling it directly to the point where we really need that in order to achieve our passion. There are 10 things that he said that would make us or help us improve along and achieve the lifetime goal, and the following are:

1. Listen
2. Learn to enrich
3. Learn what you love
4. Knowledge is everything
5. Win the war before you fight it ( A statement he quoted at the book " The Art Of War by Sun Tzu)
6. Adjust, adapt and evolve.
7. Learn to look back
8. Learn what your divine is
9. You are never alone in your journey
10. Lose yourself

When you're reading this, it's simple right? but for me its not. I guess it will take me years to achieve this because who knows how great can you be in the next years. All of what he said was inspirational and educational as well. What he said is not just a word, a group of words that would mean nothing, instead, what he said was the best of the best he was when he was growing up. No wonder he made it through and expanded it more and more. 

Here's a great quote from a great man that inspired me more after hearing Jon Santos' speech,
"It always seems impossible until it's done."-Nelson Mandela
