The Seat

“The person you are inside is the person you can be outside.” This line can imply many picture of human’s personality. A greedy, a selfish, a hopeless but thankful personality and sometimes a kind one. These are the most common personalities usually seen on jeepney.One night while I was on my way home a greedy personality appeared after me, a jeepney driver. Insisting that his 18 seater jeepney is 20 seater.Nobody gave in the selfish passengers are on their bad face wanting not to share any space on their seats to the last hopeless passenger who were thinking of not seeing any other available route of jeepney or taxi cab to their place.Finally big five to the only kind and generous human around who gave his seat which resulted him to almost seat on the air before landing on the floor.

The Pedestrian

“Man always on the danger zone.” This was taught to me in one of the personality development workshops I attended in college. I am already working now, I am no longer a student in a university but I still observe and find curiosity on the things around me.When I was on my way home I saw a couple crossed a pedestrian. A wife on the danger zone holding her husband’s hand on the other side.For some you might think that this scene showed a fading love since Mr. Prince Charming is no longer Mr. Gentleman. Surely, if we see this couple 20 years ago on the same pedestrian lane we will see them on the other picture around.Remember when you were still dating? Your boyfriend sends you the best flower arrangement, wraps the best chocolate, composes you the flowing letter and pays for your date in the...

Level up or Level down

"I graduated Cum Laude." This is the line of the person I know which I hated much hearing. Do you really have to wear the crown of your awards? Is it righteous to shout who you were and you are?Personally I can tell that these are useless efforts of people who know nothing but brag themselves. I just can dare listening to the character of such people. As I hear them on my left it, I let go of their words on my right ear. Or before the these boastful words enter my ear I do not allow my mind to entertain them.The more they shout for the number of gold medals they won the lesser I hear them. I have my own music played on my mind, why will I waste my time listening over these hopeless efforts of pointless people if I know I know my self? I did not graduate Cum Laude but my GPA is 94 out of 100....

Quality Time

Today's world is made with so many schedules. Sometimes we're having trouble managing our resources but do we know what resource should be given enough attention and priority in order for us to properly and effectively use the rest of the resources we have on hand?I was on the public transit for work when I saw a mother with her son seated on her lap. People may not have noticed it but while I was looking at them I created a question on my mind. "Why did the mother seat the child on her lap when there are still available seats on the bus?"As I was staring at them, I needed not to ask anyone else about it anymore. I realized that the mother did not want to save money for her child's fare but she's trying to save the time for her son. Allowing her son to seat on her lap was giving her the chance...

Creating a Criteria Towards Others

Do Unto Others As You Would Have Them Do Unto You - Matthew 7:12Living a harmonious relationship with others is like living in peace within ourselves. Whatever things we like to do to ourselves should be done to others. Whenever people say they hate their peers for some reason, they are actually starting to dislike themselves.As Matthew 7:1 stated, "Judge not, that you may not be judged". Life is about acceptance. We can only expect to be accepted if we open our minds to the idea that we create others perception towards us. Setting a criteria towards others is like setting a picture of who you are and how you appear before them. If you feed you mind with the idea that you are friendly then you will find more friends. You will not find any bad reason to be rejected by others. It will reflect...
