Because Ideas Change Lives
Here’s an important question: How do you react when someone tells you facts that you don’t want to hear?
Do you immediately get angry? Do you get defensive? Do you start making excuses, play victim, and throw a tantrum because you were hurt by what they said even if it might be true?
If that’s how you react, then you might end up sad and miserable. Furthermore, it will all be YOUR fault no matter how much you make excuses and deny it.

Naaalala ko pa ang napakaraming umaga kung saan gumigising ang pamilya namin bago mag alas singko ng umaga para kumain ng almusal. Sa mga oras na iyon naghahanda kami ng kapatid ko para pumasok sa paaralan. Wala kaming masyadong magawa noon. Walang mga cellphones o social media sites na kumukuha sa aming atensyon, at walang nakakatuwang palabas sa TV sa ganoong oras sa umaga.
Sa mga taong iyon sa grade school at highschool, mayroon kami dating maliit na plaka na gawa sa kahoy at nakasabit ito malapit sa mesa kung saan kami kumakain. Mayroong tulang nakasulat dito, at iyon ay ang tulang Desiderata, na isinulat ni Max Ehrmann. Iyon lang ang nababasa ko sa silid-kainan namin noon, at marami akong natutunang mahahalagang aral mula dito. Ibabahagi ko ang mga natutunan kong aral dito.
[Read more…]I still remember all those sleepy mornings several years ago when my family would wake up before 5am to eat breakfast and my brother and I would prepare to go to school. There wasn’t much to do way back then. There were no cellphones or social media sites to distract us, and there were no decent TV shows to watch that early in the morning.
During all those years of mine in grade school and highschool, we had a small wooden plaque hanging over our dinner table and it had a poem written on it, the Desiderata, by Max Ehrmann. That was the only thing I could read in the dining room all those years, and I learned some incredibly valuable lessons from it. I’d like to share what I learned with you here.
