Reaction Paper about Honor and Excellence
The speech of Prof. Monsod, a retired professor in college of economics in the University of the Philippines gave her last lecture to her students about the motto of the university. In her lecture, she urged her students to place honor and excellence, in which I agree that honor, was placed first before excellence for a reason.
It is interesting that Prof. Monsod pointed out cheating. She added that cheating in small thing would lead to cheating in the large things. She also said that the majority of the country’s top officials came fro University of the Philippines, but the question is; “If they were so good, why are we where we are now?” That they become part of the country’s problem and not to be part of the solution.
She also discussed on how we could help this country. Serving people has no single way. Sometimes the phrase “Serve the people” transforms into a regular statement because it seems nothing happens. I maybe disagree to her statement "that if you are going to help this country, you've got to be in the country." Because we can serve our country in our own ways. Of course, others would prefer to have the way they were used to be. Others would like to explore. But practically speaking, others would prefer to go abroad than to stay her unemployed. In addition, as an OFW, they can also help our country in terms of economic development of the country. Many of them spend their money here, invest here and give cash donations, but still our country has no improvements.
Still, future rests on us leaders. We must make sure that we can bring form of changes. Whether what university or colleges it is, we must always placed first our honor before excellence. It starts in every individual. If in simple things we can be a part of a problem, in that simple thing we can be a part of the solution of the country's problem. REACTION PAPER
