If a man empties his purse into his head, no man can take it from him. An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.

Extending the Golden Rule

Good manners and proper behavior are always signs of good breeding and upbringing. People like us better when we are polite and gentle, than when we are rough, crude, and impolite.


"Politeness is to do and say. The kindest things in the kindest way."
This maxim we learn in our grades may well be our guide in determining what is polite and what is not. We can also fall back on the Golden Rule: "Don't do and say unto others what you do not want done or said to you."


Skill in relating warmly and positively to others is needed by every person who wants to enjoy

Be aware

Most destructive habit: WORRY, we should know that 90 percent of the things we worry about don't really happen. We should not give burden to ourselves by worrying to things that last.

Greatest joy: GIVING, it is a habit that is good to nurture. In fact, the people you helped always include you in their prayers, sometimes it is burden but remember that by doing this you are investing your wealth in heaven.

Greatest Loss: LOSS OF SELF RESPECT, the thing that must not be happen to life of a person. Because having respect to yourself means gaining respect from others, if you don't respect yourself then how will others  respect you.

Most satisfying work: HELPING OTHERS, it is associated with giving, but helping other needs your effort and time. Only few can do this, it takes sacrifice and patience to help others achieve a goal. Other people achieved satisfaction in helping others, that is why they continue.

Most endangered species: DEDICATED LEADERS, because follower often expect more from leaders, and leaders don't meet their expectations. John Kennedy said that, "Ask not what the country can do for you, but rather ask ourselves what we can do for our country."  If we don't achieved good result with our leader, it is because we don't work with them.

Greatest problem to overcome: FEAR, the block to our aspirations and desires. If we did not succeed and develop ourselves, it is because we are covered and blinded with fear.

Most effective sleeping pill: PEACE OF MIND, they've said that there is no peace of mine unless you rest in peace, but don't be convince in that word because the peace of mind can be achieved through good thoughts and freeing our mind from guilt.

Most powerful force in life: LOVE, it is something that you can give it away, and it will come back to you.

Greatest asset: FAITH,

Most beautiful attire: SMILE,

Most priced possession: INTEGRITY,

Most important thing in life: BELIEF,

Stages of Human Suffering

Denial- it is always our first reaction when some unusual circumstance is happening to us. If it is good circumstances that arrives or come to us, at first we're ashame to accept it but feeling excited inside, there is the feeling that, "wow amazing, and very nice."  But if it is misfortune like acquiring a dreadful diseases, passing away of love ones, involvement in civil or criminal case, at first we always deny it because it is hard, hurting, and great burden to face those situation that comes in our life, immediately our reaction is, "I wish it is not mine or it is not true."
Anger- if we can't accept anything that happens or arrive, usually we get angry, trying to put blame on others or anything. Sometimes we hurt others or destroy things and materials, we even get drunk with alcohol or take drugs just to forget and give comfort to ourselves, and the worst thing if we can't take it is committing suicide or hurting ourself. 
Bargaining-still we can't accept what happens, if we are dying or has dreaded diseases, we promise and commit ourselves to do what is needed and perform better. If love ones past away, we still wish that some miracle will happen and will do everything just to have his life back, we even volunteer to give our life.
Depression-it is the most difficult part and stage, the saddest part. This time you will realize that this is it, there is no way to go back and correct what had happen. Facing the reality, feeling sad and down, sometimes you think that nobody cares and loves you because of what had happen, it is just like the heaven had fall down on you. It feels like you have lost all your strength in fighting the challenge that arrive in your life.
Acceptance-after the fight and struggle with Denial, Anger, Bargaining, and Depression, you are now ready to accept them. They are now passing, letting them free and go, although this is the final stage, that you are now accepting yourself as a loser, still the pain is there, but keeping it will not let you free. We must get ready to accept anything not good that happen, it hurts but it will bring and leave strength to face a new beginning. If we lost someone, take time to ponder on the good and happy moment that you were together, not all the days that come and pass with their presence are bad and not fruitful, of course you share some laugh together before, those are the things and memories that will inspire us and will make us remember them. Let us put in mind that no one stay and live forever, if there is a welcome eventually the next is goodbye.  Let the dawn of new day give us strength and hope to start new beginning, and will move on.


God will bless.

Comparing Here and There

There is no better than here. We're born and exist in a place that we love and cherish during childhood, but when  we have grown up, we have discovered that we need to move and find better place to stay in, we wonder and learn to stay away from the place that we were originally raised up and nurtured because we found out that the supply and  means are not sufficient and will not satisfy our daily needs. We explore other places to find better settlement and sources until we forget the real purpose of life. We stayed away from the original habitat, we resist the feeling of coming back again. But if we only learn to

The Magic of Looking Again

This assertion will oppose the "First Impression Last" statement. Looking once would not be a perfect way to conclude for anything whether it is a person or object, there are chance that we misinterpret because we're not so much keen in looking, that we missed other side of it, we must put in mind that although there are negatives but we must also give room for the positives that come in big and small portion. We must put in mind that anything can be improved and develop, but the sad thing is, sometimes we rely and contented to the conclusion of others regarding a certain thing that we do not try to look at it personally. Looking again will give chance for positive aspect, the ugly will be beautiful because you will start to appreciate the person in setting aside the negative portion of it. This is the secret why there are people who were developed and succeeded in doing things that others conceived it as ugly or unlovable. The ability to appreciate must be develop in a person so that he will learn to accept and love his environment.

The Four RINGs in a relationship

First is the Engagement Ring, we acquire it when we decided to accept each other and start the relationship of understanding and getting to know each other better. It is the period when we promise that the relationship we have at present will proceed to marriage.


Second is the Wedding Ring, it is one of the most happiest moment that would ever happen to life of groom and bride, will tie each other to move as one, is the event that both parties would like to cherish for long, the moment when you become free to start your own family.


Third is the Suffer Ring, nobody wants or would like to welcome this. But it arrives and come to life of husband and wife, it is inevitable so we must be ready to accept it when it arrives. It is the hard and easy test of relationship to both parties involve. But don't panic and give up because it spices the couple's relationship, life would not be comfortable without this ring.

Love your Profession..

Our profession is the source of our living where we get the bread and butter that is essential for survival. It's too bad that when we go to work and we don't love it, especially in our profession. If we are not excited every morning about getting into the room with all these little kids with their bright eyes waiting for you to help them get to that table, then we must get out of education to do no harm in molding the future of the kids. Find another way or job that you would think would fit in your desire and wants. There are other things that you can do, but let the children alone.
Every one need to be recognized in what she/he doing, because life is continuous relating. Learn to appreciate and praise because that is the only way that you could make someone glad without  giving him anything.
