I will be on a long trip later today, to visit University of the Philippines in Baguio, for a 30 minutes discussion about steemit, with their Mass Communications Department and for this trip, i don't have a steemit souvenir to leave them; so i leave them a full blown steemit gift instead.
My Gift To You, Student Of Mass Communication , University Of The Philippines, Baguio!
I am here to tell you that YOU are gifted. You are awesome! You are the best; the very best!
I am here for you, to remind you incessantly, that you have everything it takes.
One thing you need to remember always: "You were made in Jehovah's image". This is a power sentence!
I was once like YOU! For me though, it was different. I was gifted and i found out really early in life and established this within the cores of my being, "that i had gifts". One thing for sure: "i had to find this out".
"Everyone is gifted!" Finding yourself takes an ongoing conscious effort and sometimes you need guidance.
The entire secular educational system is designed to help YOU find yourself. And now, i am here to help as well!
In my case, my parents helped matters. They spotted me out early on. My dad would always say; "Terry, you have gifts".
He would marvel at the time, at how i would memorize entire text books, "word for word" and he would repeat; "you have gifts" but as i grew older, he also noticed change.
As i evolved and started to get a clearer picture of "real life", i was no longer memorizing stuff. Life started to happen!
I started seeing things more insightfully and it wasn't really about x + y = z afterall; so i started to deviate a bit into understand underlying concepts, instead of outright man-made theories and i was no longer as effective as i formally was, in passing exams and my daddy would get worried.
I wanted my own theories. I was a man too and i wanted my own theories.
Why can't people do exams built around my own theories?
My dad believed firmly that education was my path. He wanted me to get to the heights of secular education, at least till PhD and even when i was in best in my class but i had percentages lower than 90, i would receive a beating.
Hahaha, he used to be the one to go pick up my result and i would stay locked at home, awaiting in panic. He locks the door.
Life kept happening!
'Education it is', but there are different schools of study and one such school, that we don't get to do much of; is "school of life". It exists! I have schooled there!
I had "the school of life", to help me find myself. My mirrors were on the streets. I started out; my own journey; at 13, i started to understand fully, the toughness life holds.
At 15, i was already on my own, carrying hefty dreams, wanting to bring about true change. I would hangout with much older boys at the time; champs and our conversation would always revolve around; "Terry, what's the way forward". From this streets, i complete University but i also was doing "the school of life".
I saw myself on the streets out there and i started to form a longing to help humanity.
To accomplish "fixing humanity", you need secular education but depending on the curriculum of the school you are in; you may need a ton of extra-curricular activities and you get that directly or indirectly, from the "school of life!"
In some cases, you may acquire "school of life" knowledge, due to your human nature, love, special talent, empathy etc
"Dear student", do your studies!
I want to empower you with new knowledge!
I want you to stay in school but i want you to try out school in newer ways. The world is fast-paced, let's move along and not be left behind.
Join me here on https://steemit.com, let's work out ways for you to hone your education, till you are whirlwind of force, when it comes to knowledge and an understanding of life.
Steemit presents variety; "world standard" and that is where we want to be!
"You are in Scholar in the University of Philippines?"; how would fare amidst scholars from other parts of the world?
You can easily find out here on Steemit!
Steemit is a school; a social community of the world's greatest and reputable minds, that celebrates people regardless of nationality, status or age. "Everyone is a celebrity on steemit".
Let's prepare you for your exams on steemit.
When i stopped memorizing books, how did i read for exams?
I would read my entire text book first in a speed-read. Next, i would do a casual, nonchalant reading, one or two times and finally a major in-depth reading. Then close to the exam date, i would write out all i have read in my own words, into a booklet labelled "keypoints" and i would read only this booklet before my exam.
Regardless, of your methods of reading, if you apply yourself to writing out what you have read, using your own sentiments, perspective and words; they stick!
We can do all that and more on steemit, even within your blog posts.

Education is the key to our mutual beneficial future. Since I have joined Steemit I am able to give more to the poeple then ever before in my life. I am getting paid to educate you guys. This is the greatest service I can give to the world and finally I am able to.
Good luck with your Discussion, Terry.
Yes, thank you. You are awesome example when it comes to educating
Thank you Terry, I work hard to bring content to the people.
Nice! Followed you and will be checking the memory techniques :)
Awesome, I hope you like them.
Agreed to this one! Education is our only weapon in the future :) thank you for your effort in imparting knowledge!
Steemit is a school of life, a school of meeting interesting personal, a school where some of your thought could be 'judged' 'corrected' and accepted.
Steemit is a school where you find your hidden talent(i.e writing) I am not a prolific writer, I don't know 'jack' in writing. But here I am happy that I can write at least five hundred words that people would love to keep visiting to see what next I have in 'store'. I am still learning from this Amazing school can't trade it for anything. Thanks for sharing as always.
I admire you TERRY a.k.a @surpassinggoogle...
As long their family can give them support for their education, they must pursue that chance. Not all kids can have a good education or good school and universities; like me, I did not finish my school. I'm a high school graduate and I step only 1st semester at Philippine Merchant Marine School and Jump to Polytechnic University of the Philippines Course of E.C.E 1st semester only.
Reason, financial support. I hope kids in this present time must study well while their family has the ability to support their education.
thanks for sharing your article... I hope students hear your opinion and learn to use steemit for their future to help their self and family like @erangvee a good example of it.
Yes, thank you for admiring me too and valuing the info here. i do have passion to empower youths cos i was youth too and like you, i did university on my own, with parent support. 15 years old, i was already a grown man, till i finished university. I did #steemgigs and the community solely to direct people into their vision aspect, so that they can create things and build dreams and vision. It is not totally about school. it is more about life and substance. What i mean is, there is more to school even, than just the four corners of a university and steemit helps alot in that regard
Upvoted and resteemed Terry. this maybe long but really worthy to read blog. You really have talent that is why Ned choose you really great talented person here on Steemit
Talk soon. Later today. i am just rushing and trying to catch some rest. So talk later
Inspiring others through great action is one of the most important actions we can do ourselves. Being a pleasant human being is another. Both two characteristics you show here. Education is key to great development. Way to be!
On point. Thank you for a great summary!
Thank you
We can learn a lot from Steemit and get some entertainment to. The best is the people behind helping each other and I also thank you @surpassinggoogle for being a part that supports people like me that are neck deep in troubles and worries and for that my sincere thanks to you.
Thank you. Keep on strong! Life is one hard thing
Thank you @surpassinggoogle
I am just keeping it together as hard as I can with this progressive condition that I have.
terry is a gift to the world, such an inspiration to others, the world would be a better place if everyone is like you heheh
thank you for sharing your gift terry :) God bless you more ^_^
I believe so too. Thanks for looking intently and identifying these aspects of me
you are the best Terry! keep shining , continue to be awesome!!! :-))
Sure will
What a lovely way to help your community, they are blessed to have you.
Still on the trip, Internet for a few minutes! Stay awesome!
'The School of Life' - everyone should enrol here early on too. Let us know how it was with UP-B students Terry!
Everything is just not in order right now. The days just flew fast and i always in my 24/7 pains. But i am here, waiting till its around 8. Nothing much. I will simply tell them to sign up. Only 30 mins of talk time. More like hijacking their gathering. So hours to Baguio for 30 mins of talk! Let's see
I want you to stay in school but i want you to try out school in newer ways. The world is fast-paced, let's move along and not be left behind.
So true are these lines and so motivational as well and i am glad that you pointed in this blog that we can take steemit along with our education as a means of it ...as a part of it.....
Thanks for posting this blog....steem on & stay blissful....

Steemit for me, is like a library where different ideas can be found. This is why i drop my thoughts here so that people can read and learn about some philosophical topics.
Sense
One right step for SteeMit, you always try to broaden people's knowledge for SteeMit, I think this is very important work. I'm happy for your work, SteeMit society will be proud of you @surpassinggoogle

We are bleesed to have you on Steemit,thanks for the tireless efforts you are doing to spread Steemit.
I have even written a post thank you the incredible guys who have made steemit blow up in the last 3 months,thanks again.
This sentence below about ourselves is really Powerful.
People need to keep hearing this to bring out their greatness.

Thanks for the inspiration.
I even wrote a post thanking you,Jerry Banfield,Stephen Kendal and Dragon Slayer.
You 4 Incredible Guys have made Steemit grow rapidly in the last 3 Months.

Yes, please do. This post did work in Baguio. It is actually university of Baguio. I was lost there as i was mentioning university of PH Baguio and the Taxis got lost
i agree with you 100%. learning is the ultimate earning. it is knowledge known, that makes people earn = L + earn.
i really like the fact that you remind everyone daily that they are special, awesome and being the best at all we do.
Education is the most essential tool we need to use if we want to live a better life among other people. A well educated person is a rich person
No doubt!

Smart move! Students are the pillars of this world!
We must always believe in ourselves and never let anything go.

Education is very important. But I agree that the search for like-minded people is even more important.
