20 Quotes tungkol sa Pag-asa (kapag nawawalan ka na nito)

by 1 Comment

English Version (Click Here)

May mga panahong pakiramdam natin hindi na natin kayang harapin ang ating mga problema. Iyong mga oras na nawawalan tayo ng pag-asa, masyado na tayong maraming pinagdaanan, at parang mas madaling sumuko na lang at tigilan ang lahat.

Gayunpaman, may mga bagay na hindi natin pwedeng isuko, at kailangan natin silang ipagpatuloy hanggang sa huli. Ang pamilya namin ay nahihirapan ngayon dahil sa mga plano ng isang korporasyon, at ang proyekto nila ay makakasakit sa pamumuhay ng pamilya namin. Naiistress kami nang husto dahil sa kanila. Kahit gusto nilang ituloy ang proyektong iyon kahit masasaktan ang pamilya namin, hindi kami susuko.

Sa mga oras na ganoon, narito ang ilang quotes o kasabihan na pwedeng makapagbigay sa iyo ng pag-asa sa buhay. Kapag ikaw ay nahihirapan nang husto dahil sa iyong mga problema, sana mabigyan ka ng mga ito ng lakas ng loob para ipagpatuloy ang laban hanggang sa huli.

They say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world: someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for.

— Tom Bodett

(Sabi nila, tatlo lang ang kailangan lang ng tao para maging masaya sa buhay sa mundong ito: isang taong iniibig, bagay na ginagawa, at bagay na inaasahan.)

Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.

― Epicurus

(Huwag mong sayangin ang mga nakamit mo dahil sa paghahangad mo sa mga bagay na hindi pa napapasaiyo; alalahanin mo na ang mga nakamit mo ngayon ay mga bagay na hinahangad mo lang dati.)

We dream to give ourselves hope. To stop dreaming – well, that’s like saying you can never change your fate.

― Amy Tan

(Nangangarap tayo para magkaroon ng pag-asa. Ang pagtigil sa pangangarap – katumbas na rin iyon ng pag amin na hindi mo mababago ang iyong kapalaran o kinabukasan.)

The road that is built in hope is more pleasant to the traveler than the road built in despair, even though they both lead to the same destination.

― Marion Zimmer Bradley

(Ang landas na ginawa mula sa pag-asa ay mas mabuti para sa mga manlalakbay kaysa sa mga landas na ginawa dahil sa desperasyon kahit pareho ang kanilang pinatutunguhan.)

We must free ourselves of the hope that the sea will ever rest. We must learn to sail in high winds.

— Aristotle Onassis

(Kailangan nating iwanan ang pagaakala na magpapahinga ang dagat. Kailangan nating matutong maglayag habang napakalakas ng hangin.)

20 Quotes about Hope (for when things seem Hopeless)

There will be times when our problems seem too much for us to handle. Times when all hope seems lost, we’ve suffered more than enough, and it feels like it will be much easier to just give up and just stop everything.

Unfortunately, there are some things we just can’t or shouldn’t give up on, and we need to keep going until the bitter end. Our family has been going through tough times lately because of a certain corporation’s plans, and their project will severely harm our family’s quality of life. We’ve been going through so much stress thanks to them. Still, even though they intend to continue the project that would despite the harm that they’ll cause, we will not give up.

For tough times like these, here are a few quotes I found that can reignite your sense of hope. When you’re going through difficult problems, I hope they’ll inspire you to keep fighting until the very end.

They say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world: someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for.

Isang Araw May Mga Sumubok Manloko sa Akin…

Bago maglakbay sa ibang bansa, inuuna ko palaging magbasa tungkol sa mga scams o “modus” at mga krimen sa lugar na iyon na kailangan naming iwasan. Mula sa mga taxi na may napakabibilis na metro, mga mandurukot, at mga overpriced na bar, mahihilig gumamit ng iba’t ibang modus ang mga kriminal para makuha ang pera ng kanilang mga biktima. Sa article kong ito, ikukuwento ko ang isang beses kung saan may mga sumubok manloko sa akin noong mas bata pa ako.

Ngayong nagbabalik tanaw ako sa karanasang iyon, naiisip ko na napakaraming mali sa ginagawa nila. Hindi ko alam kung mayroon talaga silang naloko. Nakakatuwa pa rin ang alaalang iyon kaya nais ko itong ikuwento sa inyo.

Yung isang panahong may sumubok manloko sa akin…

Inosenteng college freshman pa lang ako noong panahong iyon, at naaalala ko ito dahil dala dala ko pa ang malaking green na plastik duffel bag ko. Isa ako dating “sheltered” (protektado palagi ng mga magulang) na iskolar at wala pang isang taon ang nakakalipas mula noong nakapagtapos ako ng highschool. Kahit alam ko mang may mga manloloko sa mundo, hindi ko maisip na tatargetin nila ako. Isa lang kasi akong mahirap na financial aid scholar, hindi isang mayamang turista o negosyante.

Naaalala ko pa na sa araw na iyon maaga akong nakalabas ng klase. Mainit ang panahon noon. Nasa huling bahagi na ako ng aking commute papauwi at kinailangan ko na lang maglakad nang ilang minuto para makarating sa bahay. Ala-una ng hapon noon kaya kahit naglalakad ako sa tabi ng isang popular na highway na malapit sa isang mall, walang masyadong tao sa oras na iyon.

Habang tinatawid ko ang isang konkretong tulay papunta sa aking bahay, may sumunod sa aking isang matanda. Nakasuot siya ng baseball cap, t-shirt, at maong shorts at habang sinasabayan niya ako sinabi niya…

“Uy, nakita mo ba yung foreigner na nakahulog ng singsing?”

Doon nagsimula ang isang pinabobong modus na naranasan ko.

The Time Some People Tried to Scam Me…

Before I travel to any new country, I always check for common scams and crimes that my family and I should watch out for. From taxis with overcharging meters, pickpockets, and overpriced bar scams, criminals use all sorts of ploys to grab some quick cash from unsuspecting victims. For this article, I’ll tell you about one time some people tried to scam me when I was way younger.

Looking back at it. there were so many things wrong with their attempt that I don’t know if they ever fooled anyone with it. It was still a very interesting experience, however, so I wanted to share it with you all.

The time some people tried to scam me…

I was a young and innocent college freshman when it happened, and I remember because I was still carrying that big green plastic duffel bag that I first used college. I was a sheltered scholar boy less than a year out of high school back then so although I knew there were scammers out there, I never thought any of them would try to target me. After all, I was just some poor financial aid scholar, not some rich tourist or businessman.

Anyway, I remember that on the day it happened, I got out of class very early on that hot and dry summer afternoon. I was already at the last section of my commute home, and I only needed to walk a few minutes to get to my home. It was around 1pm at that time so although I was walking along a busy highway near a mall, there weren’t a lot of people around.

Midway through crossing a concrete bridge on the way to my house, an old man wearing a baseball cap, a t-shirt, and denim shorts started walking alongside me and said…

“Hey, did you see the foreigner who dropped that gold ring?”

That was the start of the clumsiest scam attempt I have ever experienced.

“Work Smarter, Not Harder” (Matalinong Diskarte, Hindi Pagpapagod): Tatlong Payo Tungkol sa Tagumpay at Pagsisikap

by 1 Comment

English Version (Click Here)

Narinig mo na ba ang mga salitang “work smarter, not harder”? Gamitin ang utak sa trabaho kaysa magpagod lamang ng sarili? Nakatambay ako sa kapihan isang araw at narinig ko ang isang lalaking nagkukuwento tungkol sa mga pinaplano niyang negosyo sa kaniyang mga nakatatandang kasama. Mula real estate, online businesses, at vending machines, mabubuti ang kanyang mga naisip at naikuwentong idea.

Gayunpaman, naramdaman ko na masyado niya atang minamaliit ang panganib, at mukha ring wala siyang masyadong alam o experience sa pagnenegosyo. Baka mapahamak siya dahil doon. Sana magtagumpay siya sa mga pinaplano niyang gawin.

Noong kausap niya ang kanyang mga nakatatandang kakilala, paulit ulit niyang sinasabi ang mga salitang “work smart” at huwag mag-“work hard” lang, at kung paano walang yumayaman sa pagiging empleyado lamang (may paraan naman kung marunong kang mag-ipon at mag-invest nang mabuti). Salamat sa kanya, may naisip akong isulat ngayong linggong ito.

Ano nga ba ang ibig sabihin ng “work smarter, not harder”? Ito ang ilang payo namin para sa iyo!
