FLAVORFUL DISH

Life is like a dish. What we are as a person is a product of different ingredients mixed together to form our unique flavor. These ingredients in our lives come in various forms, through personal experiences, challenges, triumphs, and most importantly, our relationships. The people who have helped us reach who we are today – our family, friends, and, of course, our mentors. Ah, mentors. They are like the master chefs who guide us through the recipe of life, ensuring we don’t turn into a burnt soufflĂ©.

Think of yourself as the main course at a five-star restaurant. You have your base ingredients – the core values and experiences that define you. But, let's be honest, even the finest dish needs a bit of seasoning, right? And that's where our mentors come in. They’re the salt, pepper, and occasionally, the unexpected dash of hot sauce that give us that extra zing.


In a fast-paced world and challenging times, I am fortunate enough to meet not just one but a bunch of mentors from different walks of life. And so today, let me share with you three key lessons I've learned so far as a mentee.

I desperately long for it whenever I’m overwhelmed with life’s busy-ness. And whenever we meet, it never fails to amaze me. Posible ra jud diay mu-storya kas-a in a day or none at all.
