Random thoughts...

If we are spending most of our effort trying to stop somebody from doing something - then we must carefully examine our true purpose in life. Indeed we must support both of those we like and we hate if for anything to get things done for the common good of the majority.

There was never anything wrong with the struggles of life or the conditions that leads to such struggles. Such made our life meaningful as we overcome each of those. But when our chance to overcome such struggle is taken away from us that is what to be such a condition that calls for true revolution.

Greed in some ways drive our economy and has kept things moving. What we must fight against is the greed that holds us down. We cannot ask all our people to be saints all at once - but we can ask them to do some useful deeds.

Clear objective is the most important pre-requisite to deliver results by optimal means - clear objectives at different levels, overall, team level, sub-team level, individual and the periodic dimensions of each.

How many years it will take us to run out of fears and run full of love - never losing hope.

Balance of being rational and being emotional - can you rationalize why you like or hate anything or anyone?

Responsibilities with no power - formula for failure
Tasks with no means
Power with little wage drive us into corruption.

When things go beyond logic, let us re-examine our logic.

Who are the real cause of conflicts, is it the tactless or the over-sensitive?

We may have been so self-righteous thinking everyone else is wrong and that we will never die only to realize near the end that we hardly lived and yet yes, we too are about to die.

For as long as we do not have enough indicators or information to see things as they are, we tend to see things as we are. So be careful of the judgments you make unto others as most of these turn out to be a judgment on yourself.


There are three kinds of fulfilment - the objective or answer is handed down to you, when you cheated for it and when you achieve it through fair and honest work. If you are getting your happiness on the first, you need to develop independence, on the second you have to do soul searching and if you regularly do the last one, you must be enjoying your life.

Why is it called soul searching? Because you can hardly see your soul if it's not yet totally lost.

We see the intention of others based on who we are, who they are or the truth.

When we are at least a good part of a good system, for all the good and bad things that come, we never mind who gets the credit nor who is to blame, we just keep making things happen.

There are two political winners in a democratic system, the ones that identifies the sentiments of majority and sides with it or the ones that makes a stand and brings the majority on his side.

Each person has a good and bad side, the role of leadership is to nurture the good side of men.


The power of first reaction - our first reaction to anything is very powerful. It tells us who and how we are, this is the first power; our reaction gives us reflection of ourselves. Friends, we are always told to be careful on what we do and here in Facebook on what we post. However, we may do anything ourselves as initiator once or twice a day or a bit more if we are hyperactive - but we react to someone else's action way more, 10 times, 20 times, maybe a hundred times more… most of our reactions maybe we keep to ourselves and that's the second power that your reaction gives you - you can choose to keep it to yourself or to let it be known, the third power comes into play when you let your reaction be known, it let others to get to know you a little bit more that either commits you to something good or traps you to something otherwise.

Happiness is not about the absence of pain or adversaries, it is about a strong heart and open mind.

Human advancement is not and never will be about trying to stop each other from saying or expressing what we do not want to hear or see, it is about using whatever motivation we get to change for the better from whatever we hear or see from each other. Let's keep making each other better rather than to dwell on suppressive behavior. Never stop thinking, saying or acting about what we really know and feel from within - let's be true, let's thrive on both agreements and disagreements and we might see that both are equally propelling on our way forward, the former being rewarding and satisfying, the latter generates more creativity and passion… 

From a multi-dimensional perspective, there's no point to argue or quarrel about anything - we let ourselves be who we are, let each other do what we do and say what we want to say about each other, when this happens it's going to be a peaceful world of harmony - BUT maybe peace is boring and absence of conflict to fight out of diminishes the nurturing of human spirit…


Adding a question into my prayer - am I sinful enough to be rich?


There are two types of arguments that happens between two parties, the one between those who follow their hearts and does not have enough mind to see the common ground and those who follow their minds but does not have in their hearts what it takes to understand the other side.


Being oppressed is when we are taken advantage of for being obedient, for being honest and for our love of peace.

I am a son of a country that most from all over the world loves so much, Filipino triumphs and tragedy is shared far and wide.
