Don’t Let Others Abuse You – A Lesson from Three Fables

There’s a difference between people who need help, and people who want to take advantage of you. Unfortunately, the latter usually pretends to be the former. While this article was written during a time of crisis (the Covid-19 pandemic), you should remember this lesson more in times of peace and good fortune.

You see, while checking out my bookshelf, I found a tiny book of Aesop’s Fables (“The Dolphins, the Whales and the Gudgeon”, Penguin Little Black Classics) and a few stories stood out because they relate to what our family has experienced. That is why I decided to share them with you here, so take some time to read the stories below and absorb the lessons.

Mga Pwedeng Matutunan Ngayong Quarantine

Dahil sa extended community quarantine (ECQ), malamang marami na tayong oras para gawin ang mga bagay na hindi natin magawa dati. Matatapos ang ECQ sa Metro Manila sa May 15, pero mabuting ipagpatuloy pa rin natin ang social distancing at lumabas lang para sa trabaho at pagbili ng mga kinakailangan. Mukhang magiging ligtas lang tayo kapag may bakuna na laban sa pandemic na ito.

Para sa aral natin ngayon, heto ang isang quote mula kay Orison Swett Marden, ang isa sa aking paboritong manunulat:

Our todays are the blocks with which we build our future. If these are defective, the whole structure of our life will correspond… Power and fortune are hidden away in the hours and moments as they pass, awaiting the eye that can see, the ear that can hear, the hand that can do.

Sa Tagalog: Ang ating araw araw ay mga bloke ng ating kinabukasan. Kung palpak ang mga ito, ang buong istruktura ng ating buhay ay matutulad dito… ang kapangyarihan at mabuting kapalaran ay nakatago sa mga oras at sandaling lumilipas, at ito’y naghihintay para sa mga matang nakakakita, mga taingang nakakarinig, at mga kamay na lumilikha.

Sa kasamaang palad, hindi ito ganoon kasimple sa panahon ngayon. Kahit gusto nating pilitin ang sarili nating gamitin ang mga oras na ito para maging mas masipag, magbasa ng mga libro, pagtuonan pa ng pansin ang ating mga layunin, magsimula ng negosyo o gumawa ng iba pang bagay, malamang napansin mo na rin na hindi ito ganoon kadali habang lumilipas ang panahon.

What to Learn During Quarantine

Due to the extended community quarantine (ECQ), we probably have a lot more free time now. Although the ECQ in Metro Manila officially ends on May 15, we should still continue social distancing and go out only for work and basic necessities. For now it seems the only way we’ll be safe is when we all get vaccinated against this pandemic.

Anyway, for today’s lesson, let’s look at what Orison Swett Marden, one of my favorite authors wrote:

Our todays are the blocks with which we build our future. If these are defective, the whole structure of our life will correspond… Power and fortune are hidden away in the hours and moments as they pass, awaiting the eye that can see, the ear that can hear, the hand that can do.

Unfortunately, right now it’s not that simple. While we tell ourselves that we should really use the time to be more productive, read more books, put more time towards our goals, maybe start a side business or something else, you probably find that it’s not that easy especially as time goes on.

Magplano na para sa PAGKATAPOS ng Quarantine

Halos isang buwan na mula noong nagkaroon ng enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) dito sa amin, at ilang araw pa ang magdadaan bago ito matapos sa ika-30 ng Abril (kung hindi ito patatagalin pa). Sabi ng research, kailangan mo ng halos 21 na araw bago ka magkaroon ng bagong habit, kaya malamang marami na ang nasanay sa ECQ.

Kailangan pa rin nating alalahanin na hindi magtatagal nang habang panahon itong pandemic na ito. Bukod sa pagbalik sa opisina at pagbalik ng mga estudyante sa iskwelahan, may mga bagay na kinakailangan pa rin nating gawin dati bago nangyari ang lahat ng ito.

Habang irerekomenda ko na ipagpatuloy pa rin natin ang social distancing at lumabas lang kapag kinakailangan, kailangan pa rin nating pagplanuhan ang mga trabahong kailangan nating gawin pagkatapos nitong quarantine. May mga kailangan ka bang gawin sa trabaho, negosyo, o sa bahay? May mga lisensya, clearance, o mga registrations ka bang kailangang kunin o iparenew? Pagisipan mo na sila ngayon habang may oras pa tayo!

Narito ang ilang mga bagay na gagawin ko kapag natapos na ang mga restrictions ngayon.

Start Planning for Life AFTER Quarantine

It has already been over a month since our government ordered an enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) in our area, and we have several days to go before it ends on April 30th (if it doesn’t get extended). Research said that it takes around 21 days to get a new habit so by now most people have already settled into daily routines designed around the ECQ.

We have to remember, however, that this pandemic will NOT last forever. Aside from a lot of us returning to office work and students returning to school, we’ll still need to finish the things that we needed to do before this all happened.

While I’d personally recommend that we continue to practice social distancing and go out only when necessary, we have to start planning for the work that needs to be done after the quarantine ends. Are there things that you need to do for your job, business, or your household soon? Do you have licenses, clearances or registrations that you need to get or renew? Start planning for them now while we still have some time!

Here’s a quick list of ideas based on what I plan to do once the restrictions have been lifted.
