learn to change!

nabubwisit na ako sa learning and changing kuno na pinapauso ng lekat na mga yun! hindi ko alam kung balak ba nilang magshift sa psychiatry o nagpipilit silang maging inspirational speaker. inconvenience lang ang malinaw na ibinibigay nila sa amin; isipin mo ba naman yung linggu-lingong pagbibyahe papunta sa pagkalayu-layong lupalop na yun tapos ganun at ganun pa rin naman ang pinag-uusapan at ganun at ganun din ang tanghalian! malapit na akong lumipad sa pritong manok nila...

ang tagal kong hindi nagsusulat dito kasi ang gusto ko sana yung maganda ang dating ng una kong post sa 2009. so far wala kasi akong makitang maganda kaya pilit kong pinipigilan ang sarili ko sa pagsusulat kaso hindi na ako makapagtimpi, sobra na! nasayang lang ang pagpipigil ko, napunta sa ganito... pambihira!

read this carefully: if you want to influence somebody and expect that somebody to change for better, you must first show that somebody that you are a changed person. i remember something that i read about a preacher long time ago. a mother brought her son and asked a preacher to advise her son to stop smoking. to the mother's surprise, the preacher simply told them to come back after a month. a month later, the mother and son were in front of the preacher again and this time the preacher advised the young man to refrain from smoking. the mother couldn't help but ask why did they have to wait for a month. it was then revealed that the preacher is also a smoker and he couldn't dare to advise somebody to stop smoking while he himself is a smoker - so what he did is he stopped it himself first before he advised another to do the same.

that, to me, is the perfect way to influence others to change!
