I got inducted into the Philippine Marketing Association today. And as I entered the Hotel Intercon function room, I sensed an eerie, familiar feeling. It was like being in my old college org genmeet! The dynamics were similar. There were the officers and the active members who dominated the floor, seemingly courting the masses into participation through their “gung-ho-ness.” Then, there were the silent observers slash deadbeats who were there for the free food and raffle prizes. Sooo college!

One major diff though. Some people there today have been active members for 25 years! It’s like joining a college org whose members are the kids who just refuse to graduate. Ha!

Let’s see if PMA can inspire me to jump beyond myself…
