Unmasking True Motives

Age and experience are partners when making decisions. One's judgment is more sound out of first hand experience. How does one measure a person's intention/s? How does one evaluate messages of "heroism" instead of arrogance? How does one size up a person's generosity? It's really not a tall order in this age. One can't be misled when the background is obvious. Know the real motive from the available data. Trust more your own judgment.

People who pretend easily give away their true color. Say your privilege speech in the highest place but still your green scales will show. The aura just shows that your words are purely motivated by self-interest. The actions behind your words are not consistent. Your role modeling falls out of place. Your role does not agree to the standard of a model.

Humility is still the best virtue especially in budding leaders. You're just a neophyte in the field and you assume yourself to be great already. People will say you're great when you have proven yourself of greatness. Wait for people to say that. Right now, they want your face away from the surroundings because you have grown to be an arrogant, deceitful, and disrespectful public servant. You're no different from the rest in the government offices in the country. Shame on you. You are pathetic.

English Coordinator Goes to Science High School

I was surprised when I learned that the English Coordinator has been chosen to teach in Science High School. I admit, I was expecting somebody else will be chosen. I'm sorry I underestimated the English Coordinator.

I was more surprised when I found out that the one I expected was only rank 3. The main reason for the ranking, I really do not know but the behavior problem was stressed. I learned that he was caught unprepared with lesson plan because he didn't want to do it.

The English Coordinator is really more gentle, sweet for a man. But I appreciate the character that after a disagreement, he would drop by the office to greet me cheerfully. And he would readily cheer me up and give credit for a nice deed I have done.

I am not a wordy person, I do not demonstrate my feelings well. But I'm sure you know who's short of sort.

I am proud of the English Coordinator, Mr. Ronel Balistoy. Good luck and God bless you.

People and How They Deal with Gratitude

It happens all the time; people have different ways of dealing with gratitude. As the religious song goes: ten men received help, but only one came back to give thanks. In the real world, this is very true.

There is a different concept about getting support. Others view it as an obligation on the part of the giver, especially if the latter is family. It may be true that charity begins at home; but a "thank you" or other grateful act acknowledging the deed is very much appreciated in the family.

When the help come from others who are not blood relation, the more gratefulness is expected. The problem may arise when the receiver has low emotional quotient - all he knows is he should get the help and when he is displeased all good deed will be erased. However, some may be receiving lesser help but everytime, a grateful act is given.

This is life. The lesson is: Do not expect anything in return when helping others. On the other hand, for those who receive help: Be grateful always - help does not come all the time.
