Nagbigay si Orison Swett Marden ng mabuting payo para malaman natin kung sulit man o hindi ang paggastos natin ng pera: “It is wholly a question of what you get out of your expenditure, not its amount, which makes it a wise expenditure or a foolish one.” Ang nakuha mo sa iyong paggastos, hindi ang laki ng halagang ginastos mo, ang batayan ng kabutihan o pagkasulit ng iyong gastusin. Kung lamang ang pakinabang na nakuha natin kumpara sa ginastos, mabuti ang paggastos natin. Eto lang ang kailangan nating tandaan. Ang halaga ng bagay ay hindi palaging maitutugma sa presyo nito, at napakaraming gastusin ang walang kwenta gaano pa man kaakit-akit ang bawas o pagkamura nito.

Heto ang isang maiksing guide na pwede mong gamitin para malaman kung maayos ba ang iyong paggastos ng pera.

Orison Swett Marden gave some good advice on how we can tell if we spent our money wisely: “It is wholly a question of what you get out of your expenditure, not its amount, which makes it a wise expenditure or a foolish one.” If we got more value compared to what we spent to get it, then it’s a good deal. The thing is, value is not always connected to price and a lot of expenses are terrible no matter how exciting the discounts seem.

Here’s a short guide you can use to tell if you spent your money wisely.

Paano Gamitin ang Karma upang Umasenso

Noong nakaraang buwan, nagkita kami ng mga kaibigan ko sa isang mall para manood ng isang bagong spy movie. Doon, nilason ng supervillain o kontrabida ang ilang milyong tao upang palakihin ang illegal niyang negosyo. Doon din mayroong politikong hinayaang mamatay ang ilang milyong tao dahil magiging mas popular siya mula dito.

Sa dulo ng movie, nakarma sila. Ang kontrabida/supervillain ay namatay dahil sa sarili niyang lason at ang korupt na politiko ay nakaposas at ikukulong dahil sa kanyang krimen. Kung nanood ka ng maraming action movies, mapapansin mo na madalas mangyari ang ganoon. Ang mga kontrabida ay napaparusahan at ang mga bida ay ginagantimpalaan. Nakukuha ng mga tao ang nararapat sa kanila. Ayun ang law of karma o ibig sabihin ng nakarma.

Kahit ang kahulugan ng karma ay nagmumula sa salita ng Sanskrit para sa “action” o “gawa”, ito’y tinatawag din sa espiritwal na tuntunin ng cause and effect (sanhi at epekto o bunga). Ang lahat ng ginagawa natin (at HINDI ginagawa o kinakaligtaang gawin) ay nakaaapekto sa ating buhay. Ang mabubuting gawain ay nagdudulot ng mabuting resulta, ang kasamaan ay nagdudulot ng masasamang resulta. Kahit “obvious” ito, madalas nating nakakalimutan kung paano nito naaapektohan ang mga gawain natin at ang ating kapabayaan ay nagdudulot ng ating mga problema at kabiguan.

Ngayon, paano natin magagamit ang karma para umasenso? Basahin mo lang ito.
