AT A GLANCE
Maricar reminded her followers that she's not romanticizing failure.
Doctor-actress Maricar Reyes gave some inspiring words to struggling students.
On Facebook, she posted: Your grades in school will not determine your success in life."
She added in jest how then she failed her "neuro" in medical school.
The 41-year-old star reiterated that what matters is how one "bounces back" from failure.
In the comment section, she continued: "Sa mga bumagsak at wasak dyan, it’s not the end of the world!!! Its just the tough beginning of your success story!!!"
Though, Maricar reminded her followers that she's not romanticizing failure.
"Im encouraging people TO GET BACK UP when they do," she stressed.
"This post was inspired by a teacher we spoke to recently who told us about the increasing number of self harm in students who get failing grades. Parang end of the world na pag bumagsak. This post will hopefully remind them that its NOT the end of the world…"
Maricar quipped: "Ang boring ng pelikula kung puro happy-happy noh. Dapat may kontrabida at malaking problema. How the lead character OVERCOMES CONFLICT, makes it interesting."
Meanwhile, many netizens agreed to Maricar's two cents.
In fact, online content creator licensed physician Dr. Winston Creones Tiwaquen, commonly known as Dr. Kilimanguru, reacted, writing: "True!"
TV personality Kim Atienza, on the other hand, commented: "Ako din."
