An Eagle's Wholistic Achievement

When the eagles starts to fly, he soars the highest... And when the eagle falls, he learns the biggest. - atenean101

Eagles are achievers, they say. When they start to fly, they soar high... and when they fall, they learn big. This maybe true, and this maybe not. Whatever the case is, I shall not speak based on other's experiences but myself.

Challenges make us discover the things about ourselves, which we never really knew. Oftentimes, these are the the ones of what make the instrument stretch; what make us go beyond the norm, or what one could ever imagine. And because it has been always the case that our own strengths do not match to the task given, we should not assume that it is beyond our capacity... Instead, let ourselves motivate our own selves and believe that the task is just within our compass.

Another chapter of my life is about to unfold, and not so far from now, I shall begin composing another interesting contents for it. A content that maybe complicated and may not easily be understood by most readers, yet surprisingly impressive, informative and thought-provoking, where most of the time only a few are able to learn. And unlike before, that I normally author the previous chapters by myself, I would now be asking contributors to co-author this next chapter, and help me with my journey into a more readable and legible content for the benefit of many readers.

When Greed Reaches the Philippines

"So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they're busy doing things they think are important. This is because they're chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning." - Morrie Schwartz

It has always been strange to me of why those things which we normally admire in a certain individual are most of the time associated with failure in our system. And those that we detest, like greed and being self-centered, are the ones with success... that while we admire the first quality, we then love and praise the produce of the second...

It's not so long time ago when a group of Australians landed the Philippine archipelago. They invested, built and established a stronghold of their business in the land thinking that the misbehaviors they have had with their business particularly with their employees before, way back in their own land, would be eliminated or would be avoided by employing Filipinos instead of their own race... but the scene that they're trying to avoid are eventually the scene that they're about to handle and manage, as it's becoming surreal as time continues to fly...

Desire is not bad. It is really not bad at all. It only means that you are manifesting your destiny to its optimum level with the use of your optimum potential... and this is exactly one of the the very reason why we are here in this world. And just like what I have read from a certain article, if we only take greed as a driving force in pursuit of many things like happiness besides money then everything will just fall into their right places.

But it's another story when you cross the line. It would already be like stealing... and when we speak about stealing, it is considered to be a mortal sin as it was written in the 'HOLY Book': "thou shall not steal". Also, it would surely cause you a chain of negativity in your system wherein you will eventually steal from someone else or suffer more than others had to, more than others were supposed to, and it would be for a lifetime.
