If asked how she will describe herself in three words, she uttered:

“Describe yourself:
1. Ambitious
2. Tenacious
3. Authentic

AMBITIOUS:

For me, the definition of being ambitious is one always striving towards the next accomplishment. Thus, having ambitions gives us a purpose in life and helps us flourish in ways we don’t expect.

I have always had this strong desire and determination to succeed in things I do, be it big or small. Once I’m near accomplishing one thing, I find myself already thinking about the next thing I want to achieve. Being ambitious helps me also grow and be comfortable in “not” being comfortable. This is because of the fact that I know there will be certain risks and changes that I have to go through to accomplish certain goals.

To dream and plan is one thing. As an ambitious person myself, I know that execution is vital to get things done. This strong drive of ambition in me helps me overcome inevitable fears and uncertainty that come along the way and gets me the results I want, work and pray for.

TENACIOUS:

When I want something and focus myself on attaining it, it’s already a done deal. Nothing and no one (perceptions and opinions) can stop me. I am determined to do everything I can and won’t stop until I accomplish my goal.

Some may say it’s “stubbornness”, but for me, it’s “tenacity”, which can also be synonymous with “persistent determination”. Given the first trait I chose to describe myself, which was “Ambitious”, it helped me develop along the way this virtue of tenacity.

Being an ambitious goal-getter with the tenacity of a pit bull is the best two virtues I have that works together hand in hand like a gem in this SPMU industry. I set myself with a goal using my ambitious mind and go for it with the tenacity in my soul, and so far, it has done nothing but help me achieve great heights in which some, I may say, even better than the original goals I have dreamt and prayed for.

AUTHENTIC:

Being authentic and genuine to yourself is liberating. We were all born to be unique, not perfect.

I have always chosen to be true to myself regardless of the pressure surrounding me. When I was young, there was this radio station NU Rock 107.5 that I always listened to, and there’s this quote that they kept saying: “Only dead fish swim with the current.” It stuck with me, and it helped me change my perspective early in life. I have never feared to be different, but I always dreaded to be ordinary or bland. This is one trait I have always been proud of because being genuine and authentic is easier said than done. Before you can even be true to yourself, you must be able to discover yourself first. All else follows, and in a world full of critics and cynics, being able to stand up, be and represent your true nature and beliefs makes it more challenging, but it’s so worth it and invaluable once attained. When I discovered my true core, life became more bearable, decisions and choices were easier to make and loving myself is just second nature.

Being authentic and having my distinct personal character helped me swim my way up through this massive industry and helped me stand out. I see myself as a fish that swims against the current. I don’t let anyone’s opinion and perspective affect me and the way I choose to live my life, and because of this choice I made, I am happier, content and solid.
