Give a little

Once in a while, I would urge anyone to donate a little money to charity.  This is not just for the street kids or the crippled, this is for the future of our country.  I believe that just by donating even at least 1 piso as much as possible, this country has hope in becoming prosperous.

For instance, I prefer donating money to humanitarian groups that deals with children.  Why?  Because, like the song goes, I believe the children are our future.  Teach them well and let them lead the way.  I theorized that if we focus on helping and (of course) educating the children (especially the ones from impoverished homes), we’ll be able to mold them into ideal citizens and competent leaders.  In the future, poverty will be decreased and the crime rate will drop. 

It’s a longshot but I don’t care.  It’s better than doing nothing.

So please, give a little.

Passion versus Discipline

A few months ago, Lyndon Gregorio (creator of Beerkada) talked about the power of passion versus the power of discipline.  What he said at that time does makes sense.

“A person with discipline can work and get tired.  A person with passion can work and never gets tired.”

Now this is not just a strategy for success.  It can be a strategy for effective leadership.

It’s true that Filipinos tend to hate discipline.  However, Filipinos are a passionate people.  Here’s my theory: a good leader who can ignite and guide the passion of the followers towards positive means is an effective leader.

So much for my previous belief that discipline can make this country more prosperous.
