Actualizing One's Purpose in Life


Quoting the words of St. Augustine in his book The Confessions, "My heart remains restless until it rest in you," the human journey is a predestined path by the creator. Its a solid pathway that one can walk however the perils and the challenges lies on the path is the crucible that tests how a person celebrate his rationality.


Shall I accumulate wealth? Shall I stockpile more than what my storehouse can accommodate? After my passing who will remember me? Shall I be remembered as arich man who died and left all to dust?


Roman kings were ruthless at first but later devoted their lives and wealth for acts which would assure their rightful place in history. Constantine gave birth to Christianity by being its patron.


We need not be a saint nor a king to leave a legacy. A simple drop of sweat given for the salvation of others from pains and suffering of disease and hunger is a passport to the pearly gates.

               
               The Bachelor of Science in Nursing Online Program of the World Citi Colleges is a very special program, a breakthrough in the professional nursing education in the Philippines, the first educational institution approved by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) to offer distance learning through the Trans-National Education (TNE) Memorandum Order with strong linkages with Northwestern Polytechnic University (NPU) and the Beautiful Heart Foundation, Inc.
