We all make mistakes in life, experiences which serves as lessons. Some people learn from their mistakes and others don't. Realization from mistakes only happens to people who truly understand and take it by heart the things they learn from doing wrong. Some commit the same mistakes again and again, why? Maybe because they are just stubborn, prideful, careless, ignorant or just plain stupid or maybe because we're only humans, born to make mistakes anyhow, mistakes help us guide to do what is right in every step we make....A work in progress, that's what we are....from the mistakes we make we learn, grow and develop to become a better person

I believe wild birds have wings to fly and they can manage on their own , easily migrate from one place to the other, for sure even without the budget they can fend for themselves and learn how to survive what the government should focus on is to put budget on more important department such as education , health, agriculture and infrastructures. But I guess people needs to be educated well and be taught good values. The government should put funds on issues that concerns the needs of the majority. I am thankful now that our new President Rodrigo Duterte is answering the needs of the people , he just put a very big budget on education where the public schools nationwide received a big budget/funding, such a big relief for people who can't afford to send their children to school because of higher tuition fee, now it's for free. Lucky are those countries who have leaders with a good heart. If there are still corrupt people in the government , no matter how big is allotted to every department, it would be useless and will just go to the pockets of the greedy people . I know and have seen how government officials and their accomplices manipulate the budget. Anyway, education per see is not just knowledge from the book that we learn from school, people should know how to educate their HEARTS and MINDS , now that's what needs more funding

"Perhaps the summary of good-breeding may be reduced to this rule. “Behave unto all men as you would they should behave unto you.” This will most certainly oblige us to treat all mankind with the utmost civility and respect, there being nothing that we desire more than to be treated so by them."

"Hope can be a powerful force. Maybe there's no actual magic in it, but when you know what you hope for most and hold it like a light within you, you can make things happen, almost like magic."

Men and women are all the same. We are humans with feelings or emotions. Men are mostly tough but it melts my heart to see a man who cries and never feel ashamed to show his vulnerability. I have seen my ex cry over a sad movie, an unfortunate man or woman on a show talking about his/her hard life, he feels for other people so much, street children and beggars, when he makes me upset and I just keep quiet and won't talk to him. Men are actually more emotional than women, especially when they talk about their personal problems they pour their heart out to you. I saw my father cry and got very emotional in front of us when we sometimes have family forum just expressing each of our feelings. Men are like girls too, soft, gentle and vulnerable and for that, I admire a man with a good heart

Thinking of this song ........ I'm alive, alert, awake, enthusiastic!

Thank God it's Friday......my rest day, and I'm loving every minute of it

Good advise Peggy i prefer silent rejection too. I wouldn't call it rejection as some people here are really only here for the forum and they are very selective with which message to reply. People have preferences , some wouldn't like answering hi hello messages but only substantial and interesting message but still depends on the mood or gut feeling. If someone don't reply don't take it personally , it's their preferences and we all have the right to choose who we want to talk to. As for rejecting , I find it hard to tell someone the reason why because somehow I know I could hurt someone's feelings. And I don't have that much time to really reply all the messages here just to reject someone? I hope people will not think of it as rejection, don't take it too hard on yourself....I know and understand how it feels but if we always think negatively then we will get hurt, lose confidence somehow or get depressed. We should always have an open mind to accept rejection, online and in reality it's the same , we meet people and some would like us and others wouldn't, some would talk back and others wouldn't.

Don't ever think that you are the only one who doesn't feel good with the rejection. Have you ever thought that the one rejecting also feels guilty or hurt. We all have feelings and we feel for other people too , sometimes just have to do things our own way and we have to accept and respect that. DON'T FEEL BAD. Just continue to search , there will always be one who will answer you and you even can't be too sure also if you will like her or not , coz if not, you will just stop sending messages, right? Have you ever thought of how these people think also why you just suddenly stop messaging with no explanation or even when you explain .....see, you may not be aware of it but you yourself is rejecting other people too. It's called preferences, learn to accept that.

Communication has many forms/styles/skills but it depends really on every individual's personality. Everyone behaves differently from the other, some are sensitive, compassionate,considerate and understanding, they speak softly and uses gentle words careful not to offend anyone , others are truly opposite that they are blatantly rude, swears or speaks harsh words and they think that having the freedom of speech is they could already speak whatever they want without the consideration of other's feelings. Lucky are those who have good skills in communicating with confidence on how they could relay the right messages to someone, but other's have a hard time starting a conversation. Anyhow, we cannot judge people right away with just a few exchange of words. Listen carefully, observe and understand the person you are talking to then you will know if he or she has good intentions towards you. Trying to dissect everything he or she says is normal , but becareful with your judgement, reading and putting meanings to every word in a negative way could give you false judgement. Having an open mind and heart with a good discernment will lead you in knowing the real person. Listen to their questions , how they deliver it and the succeeding questions will help you recognize if it's only curiosity or rudely imposing on you already which can be irritating. But there are people who are not quite aware of how they talk, some sounds rude and careless but others are very tactful. Human behavior is a very complex thing to study and understand.

I can relate to Peggy

It's like walking straight and suddenly something fell on your shoulder and to the ground. You glance , check what it is, take off that little dirt on your shoulder or blow a speck of dirt and just walk on, walk with your head held high. No point in wasting time, it's useless to talk to people who doesn't know how to listen, narrow minded and rude, don't go down to their level.

"Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky."
Rabindranath Tagore

Let it rain, let it go... Wait for the clouds to clear, rain only passes by and after that you'll see a beautiful sky with a rainbow look around you and appreciate it, what a wonderful world yeah, and you sing your heart out........

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow
Blue birds fly
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Dreams really do come true ooh oh
Someday I'll wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney top
That's where you'll find me
Oh, somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
And the dream that you dare to,
Oh why, oh why can't I?
Well I see trees of green and red roses too,
I'll watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Well I see skies of blue
And I see clouds of white
And the brightness of day
I like the dark
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people passing by
I see friends shaking hands
Singing, "How do you do?"
They're really singing, "I, I love you."
I hear babies cry and I watch them grow,
They'll learn much more than we'll know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world world
Someday I'll wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney top
That's where you'll find me
Oh, somewhere over the rainbow way up high
And the dream that you dare to, why oh, why can't I?

Feeling fired up, this whole week has been busy with meetings here and there and loving the pleasures I get from my work....now on my way again to a meeting. Satisfying & fulfilling week and looking forward to a nice weekend ... Thank God it's Thursday tomorrow

Sceptical

"And when it rains on your parade, look up rather than down. Without the rain, there would be no rainbow."
