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

August 8, 2019 by Ray L. 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.)

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.
