Now most scenario in man's life is that when a person is still alive, other people will only see things that are negative in his life, like his mistakes, fall downs and rare of his achievements. Not until a person's gone when we realize that he had done so much to his fellow or with his community. Where it's too late to say thank you and you're the Best! I can relate this scenario with what happened to our previous DILG secretary Robredo. Well not only to him but most in our lives it happens, right. So say Thank you always to people who are always there for you and to people whom you think is bad, because if you only appreciative of every things even your enemies have done something right for you.

That's right, often the best lessons come to us from people who challenge us. What works best for me is to just bless them. If you look someone right in the eyes and say bless you most of the time they will remain speachless. Of course if they aregoing to hit you, duck and run away hard. Blessings

That is so true. We sometimes take those people for granted and would only realized their important when they are already gone. It is also the same with our family. We sometimes take them for granted maybe because we know that they will just be there for us. Not realizing that life is short and we'll just realized everything when it is already too late.
So while your loved ones are still around, show them that you do love them. Buy your mom or wife flowers and be amazed on their grateful smile. Do it while they are still alive as it would be painful to buy one when they are already gone. Say I love you and hug them more frequently because you will regret not doing that after they are gone.

Yes indeed most of the time we do appreciate things when people are gone.
And we ignore things the they done when they are still alive in fact we often see
their failure, so sad but I hope we can learn from it.

Hi friend, you are right, most of us don't appreciate the people for their good work, we don't realize the value of a thing or person, if it is near by to us, we only know the real value when it is gone far away from us, also we know about the need and necessity of that person at that time.

It is a stereotype set up to feel that way.You need not to be rude to other people, but you should not consider yourself a saint. It depends on how you managed yourself, not because it is accepted in the society. But what is really you believe in.
