My goal in life?
That really is a hard question, Mike. Ive been thinking about this question earlier today, and when I think about it all--what really matters in life is our ability to care for our loved ones, raise our children the best way possible and enjoy life in the present, diba?
I guess my main goal in life is to emulate my father; he is my role model, really, he is the best example of a man for me--he is hard working, totally dedicated to his family here and back in the Philippines, loving towards his wife and never forgets to show his love, he is God-fearing, his retiscent character (he is the typical patriarchal figure--and he commands great respect from his family, friends and co-workers in the hospital). He is a man who has gone through so much in life---he lost his own father when he was only 21 y/o when he was still in Engineering school; despite such financial and personal problems associaed with the loss of his father (as my father was the eldest of 7 children!) he remained strong and with the GRACE of GOD, found an Engineering job in Saudi Arabia--where he worked to send the rest of his brothers and sisters to college--and at the same time---stayed loyal to my mother.
They say that a man's character is defined by his works--it really is true, jud. I hope and pray that I become as responsible and decisive as my father---I would like to impress him so that when I am a father in the future, he will smile and commend me. His approval is very important for me...
