NAPA-THROWBACK ang award-winning actress at ABS-CBN executive na si Charo Santos nu’ng unang pagkakataon na sumabak siya sa rampahan bilang model.
Hinding-hindi raw niya malilimutan yung araw na kabadung-kabado siya para sa first modelling job niya sa TV na naging simula ng kanyang career sa entertainment industry.
Kasabay nito, nagbigay ng ilang payo si Charo para sa lahat ng nangangarap ngunit nagdadalawang-isip na sumubok at sumugal sa kanilang buhay.
Ibinahagi niya ito sa kanyang Instagram account, aniya, “I often catch myself asking – ‘kaya ko ba yan?’
“On my first ever modelling stint on TV, when I was about to walk, I couldn’t move my body.
“I got nervous. I got scared… I thought ‘Kaya ko ba to?’ Until one of the models told me, ‘Go Charo, just walk,'” mensahe ng host ng “Maalaala Mo Kaya.”
Patuloy pa niya, “In times of uncertainties and doubts, I just tell myself, ‘Go Charo… just walk!’ And was it all a smooth walk? Of course not, but I learned these things.”
Kasunod nito, inisa-isa ni Charo ang mga natutunan niya sa pakikipaglaban sa mga hamon ng buhay.
“1. It will never be a walk in the park all the time. But that’s what makes it exciting.
“2. You might fall and sometimes its going to be a really hard fall, but as the saying goes, it’s not how you fall but how you stand up. The harder the fall, the greater the lesson. And that’s what makes life worth living.
“3. If you don’t take that first step… you won’t get to where you want to be. It always has to start somewhere.
“4. Sometimes you have to walk with others. It’s never fun to walk alone.
“5. Of course, you can honor the fear and the uncertainties but don’t stay too long on that route. Rest a bit and then walk again.
“6. Always look around and enjoy the view. Learn to appreciate. Learn to be grateful. It will make the walk meaningful,” pahayag ng veteran actress.
Dagdag pa niyang paalala, “Are you stuck and scared to move? Go, just walk! If I didn’t take that one step 50 years ago, I wouldn’t be here giving you these #CharosTips.”
