Don't Judge

rey m @rossmy (89) • Canada 29 Jun 21

"will not be judge by the color of their skin ...., but by the content of their character." How about do not judge at all. Appreciate the good in human takes the complexities of judging characters. After all, not all can claim...

Politics

rey m @rossmy (89) • Canada 1 Oct 20

Political arena can be an effective platform to serve the people. History shows many outstanding men and women politicians who truly served the Public Good. Perhaps some people become politicians because they see no other way to...

Golden rule

rey m @rossmy (89) • Canada 14 Sep 20

"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" the assumption is that this rule can be applied to most situations as long as there are no extremism and mental health issues involved. Extremist and people with mental health...

Life

rey m @rossmy (89) • Canada 1 Aug 20

Some say Life is about the Journey, others believe that Destination is more important. I think what comes before the Journey and the Destination is the most critical. Without a Map, it is difficult to see the start point, the end...

Pay it Forward

rey m @rossmy (89) • Canada 12 Jul 20

It is commonly frowned upon in the Philippines if one lacks the sense of "utang na loob". This "utang na loob" is essentially a "pay back". Pay forward maybe a better social norm to help a Society move away from some of its...

You Just Can't Argue this:

rey m @rossmy (89) • Canada 10 May 20

When Failure happens, it is a Challenge. When Success is achieved, it is a Blessing. When it is a Life or Death, there is a Reason or a Plan. Just exactly, when does a Person responsible for a Failure or Success, and in Life or...

History

rey m @rossmy (89) • Canada 17 Sep 19

Perhaps, when young generation fails to value past events, people, places or things, the blame rest squarely on the lack of connection to history. For instance, as it is almost impossible to forget an old country where so much of...

work

rey m @rossmy (89) • Canada 17 Sep 19

Perhaps, if one can let out a genuine burst of laugh or even a smile before, during and after work in a consistent basis, one has found a meaningful occupation or a place of work. However, working day after day in misery will...

Respect

rey m @rossmy (89) • Canada 12 Sep 19

It maybe counter-intuitive to respect evil, but it is the same as if you are told to respect your opponent. If not going for a walk at night or not shopping alone or a not staying too late at night partying, means curtailing...

FIBA Philippines

rey m @rossmy (89) • Canada 9 Sep 19

Disheartening to see the Philippines finished dead last in recent FIBA tournament. Filipinos love basketball. They love to play and love to watch. Perhaps, lacking world class system that can harness this emotion is the culprit....

Questions

rey m @rossmy (89) • Canada 8 Sep 19

Asking questions is one of the best way is to learn, listening is another. Perhaps, listening skill is more important than questioning. Socrates was confident in the idea that through questioning, reason may be able to find the...

mind over matter

rey m @rossmy (89) • Canada 8 Sep 19

I think "mind over matter" is very true only if the body is not gravely ill. Perhaps will power can help with physical problems at the onset. Like anything else, the important cure is prevention. Will power or "mind over matter"...

Philippines

rey m @rossmy (89) • Canada 25 Aug 19

Why not rename it after the first and true hero of this island: Lapu-lapu. It quite ridiculous that people from this republic called themselves Filipinos as to serve honor to its namesake: a tyrant from Spain, King Philip II.

Philippine National Heroes Day

rey m @rossmy (89) • Canada 25 Aug 19

Had Rizal's supported Bonifacio in an arm revolt against Spain, he might have had left a legacy of national unity today rather than personal aggrandizement. To peacefully seek a change from a foreign "caretaker" government was...

making money

rey m @rossmy (89) • Canada 23 Aug 19

Usually starting a family requires a lot of financial support. But raise in pay happens only after so many years of working. In retirement age, less money may be required to subsist since children are already grown up. It will...

Environment

rey m @rossmy (89) • Canada 22 Aug 19

Wasteful lifestyle needs to change to slow down environmental degradation. Of course this is easier said than done. People have to forego a lot of convenience. High living standard must not get higher and higher. Poor nations...

Strenght training

rey m @rossmy (89) • Canada 20 Aug 19

It is always nice to feel my muscles before, during and after work out. It is not about body building but just staying fit and feeling good. My favorite is the pistol squat and shrug. Also the sauna bath is amazing, then massage...

Perspective

rey m @rossmy (89) • Canada 19 Aug 19

Is the glass half full or half empty? Perhaps a thirsty person will just be happy there's still some left. While those who don't satisfy easy, will see the obvious inadequacy. But that who has abundance couldn't care less. Maybe,...

Gym

rey m @rossmy (89) • Canada 17 Aug 19

I work out almost every day. It's nice to see so many people in the gym. I figured, it is less taxing to the health care system if most are fit. To see bars regularly full of patrons, drinking and smoking their night away,...
