For my fellow Graduates, batch 2010.
We are now as free as the birds ready to wander the sky with no limits. Cages have been opened up for our eagle's strength to be displayed in front of the crowd awaiting for our graceful exit. Our wings have been fashioned and assured of its robustness.
Our eyes have been cleared of the real colors of the world that we may not be deceived. Black has been vividly distinguished from white, green from blue, red apart from pink. But we have always been taught to shine as brightly as yellow - as lustrous as the sun flashes its rays in the middle of each day.
Just as we have been trained to fly above hills, the gods have now endowed us the freedom to discover the height of the mountains. We have learned in Mathematics that a length with an equation of x/0, wherein x is a real number, is considered indefinite. What a waste of time to study such a vague concept. Nonetheless, the time has now come for us to be tested of how much we understand the logic of Mathematical expressions, formula and equations. The "indefiniteness" of the length of our own mountains - that is our dreams - which we now try to calculate in order to come up with our own equations of life.
We shall face the world with the fluency of our language and our grammatical correctness. When others seem to sing their song out of tune, with an incomprehensible use of words, may we remain faithful to how our elder birds sang beautiful music as we sing the tunes of our own lives. Let us fill the world with good words and splendid music, with our freshest voices and finely-tuned melodies and pitches.
Science has taught us that the sun is 91 million miles away from our planet. When our dreams start to seem unreachable, let us remember that scientists have been able to calibrate the distance of the Earth to the sun - however impossible it may be. As wise men always advice us, "If there's a will, there's a way".
We have been introduced to holy personalities named Buddha, Rama, Krishna, Shiva, Allah, Jesus. We have learned that other people live without believing in a greater power - that is, a god - which the world calls an atheist. But our mentors in religion and good morals have taught us to respect one another's beliefs and practices, because the worth of a person cannot really be defined on what he/she believes in, but how he/she lives out what he/she believes in.
And with that, we have been taught to look up once in a while, put our hands together and utter a prayer to our God who is omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent. However we call Him/Her, he listens to all languages and accepts all good practices.
When you believe, somehow you will. You when you believe. Just as we have reached this far, we shall reach farther - the farthest distance of our dreams.
We are now as free as the birds ready to wander the sky with no limits.
