Part 1
Hi good day sa inyo. I’m Emily and here’s another inspiring edition of Life in a Minute.
Sa tennis, matunog na matunog ang pangalang Maria Sharapova, ang Russian na tumalo kay Serena Williams in straight sets sa Wimbledon tournament. Napakalaking accomplishment nito para sa isang disi-siete anyos, diba. But there’s more to the story than just a good-looking and a great tennis player. Dahil sa kabila ng tagumpay nyang ito, ay merong pagsusumikap at sakripisyo, mula sa kanyang pinakakamahal na mga magulang. No wonder, sila agad ang nilapitan nya ng manalo sya sa tennis.
I’ll share more of her story, mamaya sa pagbabalik ng Life in a Minute.
Part 2
Welcome once more, second part na po tayo ng Life in a Minute, this is still Emily.
Ipinakita ni Sharapova ang isang sikreto ng success, a strong family na willing magsacrifice. Bakit? Alam nyo kasi, ginive up ng parents nya ang bahay nila at trabaho non, nung 7 years old palang si Maria para makapunta sila sa US. Naging waiter yung father nyang si Yuri para matustusan yung pagte-tennis nya. Marami ring sinacrifice si Maria, bilang kabataan kasi todo disiplina ang kinailangan nya. So, hindi overnight yung proceso ng kanyang tagumpay, kundi resulta ito ng mahabang panahong pagsisikap nya at ng kanyang parents.
See friends, sabi nga pag may tiyaga, may nilaga diba, Life in a Minute will be back.
Part 3
Hi, last leg na po ng Life in a Minute ngayon, so please stay tuned.
Alam nyo magandang example yung pinakitang sacrifice at discipline ng pamilyang Sharapova para magtagumpay. But I think, more than any success, sana maging willing din ang bawat parent at kabataan na magtagumpay sa kanilang mga spiritual na buhay. Sabi nga ng Bible diba, what will it profit a man, if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul. I guess, kapag nag-work ang buong family para sa kanilang spirituality, yan ang tunay na success.
Alright, this has been Life in a Minute with Emily, sana maging model tayo ng sacrifice at discipline necessary to raise up a Godly next generation.
