English to Tagalog: Obama Quote from English to Tagalog General field: Social Sciences Detailed field: Government / Politics
Source text - English "Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a certain poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself. Because it's only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you realize your true potential." - Barack Obama
Translation - Tagalog "Nakatutok sa buhay dahil lamang sa pagpapagawa ng barya ay nagpapakita ng kakulangan sa ambisyon. Humihingi lamang ng kaunti tungkol sa iyo. Dahil lamang sa kung ika'y humihila ng bagon sa mas malaking bagay kaysa sa iyo na nalaman mo ang tunay mong kakayahan." - Barack Obama
A 23-year old college graduate of BA International Studies, major in Asian Studies. I have mastery in the English, Filipino (Tagalog) and Cebuano languages. I am also currently learning Japanese and Arabic (Levantine, Moroccan, Tunisian). I might learn French, Russian and German soon. Born and raised in the Southern Philippines in a big city called Davao City, but relocated in a few kilometers away from the city.
I learned Japanese since I was 12 and took a college course of it and learned Arabic through self-study. I want to hone my translation, proofreading and transcription skills in this website. I also have deep fascination of history, geography, culture and current events that I find interesting. I might want to expand my knowledge of linguistics, especially in other languages.
