You don't have anything unless you have it on paper or film!

As much as I wish it weren't true:

You don't have anything unless you have it on paper or film!

This relates specifically to two things in life especially: college/job experience and sports.



No one can define their college experience eloquently enough as to make it seem more significant than anyone else.  If that was so, then there would not be a need for transcripts.  No one wants to hear how difficult things have been for you, or how much you have grown, or how much you have changed as a person because of college or some life experience.  These are subjective forms of criterion and often have no place in the methods used to process applications, decide candidates, or how information/teaching is distributed.  I have learned this the hard way.  Thinking that my ideas would be more credible than most, I sought to get higher levels of decision making.  I even tried making contacts with people who could inspire change (in my field of environmental film studies at the time).  Despite having graduated in two years and belonging to MENSA, I did not receive any positive feedback.  Many people want to tell you that going to college are more important than where you go.  Most people will tell you that the degree is the most important thing you receive from college.  These are both wrong.  Where you go to college matters just as much as if you went to college or not.  Also, the most important thing you receive from college is your GPA; not your degree, not your greater awareness of the world, not your newfound connections; your GPA.  Go to the best school, get the highest GPA and things will take care of themselves.



Second relates to sports.  Since the documentation of sports figures (stats) are so variable and the validity of anyone's recommendation is questioned; film is the only criteria on which people can make fair judgments.  The forty time is a perfect example of this.  I don't want to hear that you ran a 4.4 40 because everyone I know runs a 4.4 40.  Having the video that confirms your killer speed will convince me that you can run fast.  I don't buy your vertical jump, but show a video of you dunking and I will believe that you have hops.  The truth of the matter is that no one is trustworthy when it comes to these quotations.  We don't really know the height and weight of any professional athlete.  Creating film is the best way to prove to people that you can do what you say you can do.

These two life lessons took me many years to uncover and finally get on board with.  Stop trying to fight what you already know and make yourself successful by giving yourself the evidence to make your claims worthwhile.

  1. My life is beautiful thanks to you, Mein Helfer. Lord Jesus in my life as a candle light in the darkness. You showed me the meaning of faith with your words. I know that even when I cried all day thinking about how to recover, you were not sleeping, you were dear to me. I contacted the herbal center Dr Itua, who lived in West Africa.
