SECRETS OF THE CHAMPION: The Burden on their Shoulders and the Perks of Excellence

Zaldy Carreon De Leon Jr.

The difference between just doing something and putting all your heart, soul, and passion into that something, is likened to just living your life versus experiencing life. Deeper, richer way is derived from the latter while the former is merely what it is....

What makes life deeper and richer? Is it not how you look into that something that other people finds ordinary and you took it and bring that something to a better something?

Let me tell you an anecdote on how I have become a member of GAHE. I formed a group called PEACE SCHOLARS, there is no permit for that organization to operate from the government and from other agencies. I do not know where or how to start but inside my heart, there is pure and solid passion to work and endeavor towards peace and humanity. Due to the lack of recognition and valid credentials from my part, I still continue with the hope that someday PEACE SCHOLARS will be revived as a formal and accredited group in the Philippines. Then, our founder, Honorable Espalabra, gave a chance, taught me how to start and learned valuable lessons on her and with the other people involved and behind this ultimate group, GAHE.

I was polished like a diamond. She gets her tool and start to clean me up, polished me, soften out the rough surfaces, until I was revived as one of the dynamic leader and active ambassador of the great non-profit institution in the Philippines and the world beyond.

The award given by the National Humanity Global Peace Federation through and by Honorable Prof. Amb Dr. E. Easterrajan is another testament how GAHE valued people of potentials, and raised them from stones to diamonds. With sincerest thanks and appreciation to Dr. Rajanji.

An honorary degree is an academic degree for which a university (or other degree-awarding institution) has waived all of the usual requirements, such as matriculation, attendance, course credits, a dissertation, and the passing of comprehensive examinations. It is also known by the Latin phrases honoris causa ("for the sake of the honor") or ad honorem ("to the honour"). The degree is typically a doctorate or, less commonly, a master's degree, and may be awarded to someone who has no prior connection with the academic institution or no previous postsecondary education. The degree is often conferred as a way of honoring a distinguished visitor's contributions to a specific field or to society in general.

Truly, the conferment of the Doctor of Humanity is not just any title one can put after their name, it is a responsibility that should be taken with patience and hope, and for one, knowing the deeper and richer meaning of life, not just for the self but to others as well.

Congratulations!
