There were group of foxes in the nearby valley discussing among themselves what would be their lunch for the day. Out from nowhere, they spotted a rabbit in the green side of that valley. One of the foxes proudly says, “Yummy! This would be my menu for lunch, you bet?” it said to the other fox. “ Really? Can you bring that rabbit for your lunch?” Reply by one of the foxes. “Yeah, I promise.”After such conversation, the chasing had begun. The fox tried it’s best to capture the rabbit but it cannot get its objective. Five hours had passed, the fox is still running but it did not capture the rabbit until the fox got tired of chasing and then quit. The rabbit is gone in the forest and disappeared. What do you think why the fox did not capture the rabbit? The reason is quite obvious – they have a different perspective. The fox running only for its LUNCH but on the part of the rabbit, it was running for its LIFE.What about you my friend, are you running only for your lunch (living) or running to have a better life? According to latest economic survey of your government, almost 30% to 40% of average Filipino family is under the poverty line. The majority of Filipinos does not only see, smell, taste touch and hear poverty – they breathe it every day. This is really a big concern. How can we develop a strong republic if the economic welfare of its citizenry is not healthy? Poverty is indeed one of the foremost problems we have to address and solve. I believe that the root cause of poverty lies in our “internal core values”. In order to change the present economic condition of our country – we must change our view and perception on how we see the world. Each of us should empower one another. It is through proper MINDSET and EMPOWERMENT that we can improve the quality of living in order to have a republic. And that CHANGE should start from every one of us!

Life is a choice
Once there were two eggs discussing what they wanted to be when they hatched. The first egg said, " I want to be an oyster when i hatch. An osyter just lay in the water and never has to make any decisions. The currents of the ocean move it about, so it doesn't have to plan. The ocean water passing by brings its food. Whatever the ocean provides is what the oyster receives, no more, no less."
The first egg continued, "That's the life for me. It may be limited, but there are no decisions and no responsibilities. There's a secure existence controlled only by the ocean."
The second egg said, "That's not the life for me. I wish to be an eagle. An eagle is free to go where it wants and to do as it pleases. Of course, it is responsible for hunting its own food and making survival decisions, but it is also free to fly as high as the mountains."
"The eagle", continued the second egg "is in control; instead of being controlled by others. I want no limits placed on me, nor do I want to be a slave of the ocean. Consequently, I am willing to expand the effort required to live the life of an eagle. I will create my own destiny."
What role would you like to portray in life? To be an Oyster? Or be an Eagle? The CHOICE is yours!
