That woman beside me is the most wonderful woman you'll meet in your entire lifetime - my mother
I have been reading a book that my friend gave me for christmas. It is a rather short book but it is taking me forever to finish it for some reason. It is enitled "9 Things a Leader MUST DO" by Dr. Henry Cloud. It contains so many lessons that you would really have to ponder on the message before you proceed to the next chapter.It is only 127 pages long and is slightly bigger than Archie comics so my slow pace is still unforgivable.
I intend to put this small lesson here in my online journal so that I could share it to the small number of people who read this blog, if any and so that I could go back into it some time-it really is a lesson worth remembering. (the below is not a compendium or summary of the what is written in the book. It contains my analysis and understanding of what is written)
When you're old and you look back in life, you could judge your performance in two ways:
1.) I would have been ________________ if _________________.
2.) I did really well. I never imagined I could ____________________.
Everyone was a given talent. I was addicted to Pilipinas Got Talent and it amazed me how great our kababyans are. There are a lot of undiscovered jewels in the Philippines and I am grateful to have seen a few. There are those who were given a chance to show them while others are yet to be discovered. It is in the same light that we are all given aptitudes and capabilities to succeed. It is just that, not all us are given the chance or are placed in a position wherein we can truly succeed. It is really up to us, to do something about the situation. It is for us to realize our potential and not have it rot within us.
