Local Winnipeg Filipino Not Smarter Than You

This is going to be the few times I'm going to reveal a bit about myself. One of the pet peeves is that people (including my family members) tend to underestimate me and quick to judge without thinking. Fellow reader, I'm going to give you a life lesson that I sincerely hope that you will learn. Just because someone might seem like a slow learner might mean he/she has selective attention.

Without going into the psychological details, it means I choose to learn something that interests me as a person. I am always thinking and lucky enough to have a functioning brain since I've been hit in the head several times. If I weren't involved in several blows to the head I would be a genius of some sort but I'm not. Nonetheless I am capable to retain some new knowledge without the aid of stimulated drugs.

Before I continue, I must assure you that I'm not ranting. Instead I am trying to rationalize an understanding both my quirks and faults with complete honesty. One of the few things that I've learned over the years is that many people judge other from their actions and make a perceptive conclusion. Linear thinking isn't always the best way to make an assessment of one's being.

The truth about me is that I learn, adapt and become whatever I choose to be. After learning of what I become I also evolve as a person, sort of like advanced artificial intelligence. More I learn, the more I comprehend and understand about the world around me.
Essentially, I've learned to be complex yet have a simple outlook on life.

People who get to really know me, learn that I'm quite an interesting surprise with several layers of fascinating interest. Deep inside all of this complex unique individual is a human being that's misunderstood on several levels it upsets me. It also makes me think that I have no equal.

Just the thought has me to presume humanity has yet to evolve further as a species. Set aside the fact I can be arrogant, there's still an ounce of truth in this statement. At the same time I've also humbly proven that I am no better at perceiving the world around me than the person reading this and that the title of this blog is very much appropriately truthful. Without a doubt we are all still human beings trying to better ourselves and evolve past the perception of individuals without knowing the person as a whole.

We as a species owe it to ourselves to evolve beyond to a greater plane of comprehensive understanding of the world around us. Maybe someday we will. The last thing to come out of Pandora's box was 'hope'. As a person that's learning to be a good mentor to children, to look for hope is something to believe goodness comes from within the heart, at least it's a start to something good in this world.
