Unsung Hero: Reaction Paper

This clip is of a man who sees water falling from a rooftop and moves a dying plant to
the water stream. He then sees a woman who needs help getting her food cart up the curb and he
helps her. After that he gives food to a dog begging at his table. Then to a homeless woman and
her daughter, and he gives the girl money. He also leaves bananas for his elderly neighbor and
gives up his seat to a lady on the bus. He does this day after day. One day he arrives at the curb
where he would regularly see the woman and her child and he notices the girl is missing. He
looks sad as it appears that the girl is no longer around and perhaps had not survived the hunger.
But then he sees her running down the sidewalk. It would seem that the money he gave helped
the girl go to school and purchase clean clothes. 

The commercial states that he doesn’t receive money for these little things he does, but
what he does receive are emotions. It wants us to know that our life matters and they will take
care of us whenever we need them.
He witnesses happiness and reaches a deeper understanding. He feels the love and a world made
more beautiful.

I really enjoyed this clip because it is an example of a man who gave of himself to others.
He did the little things. These are all small gestures that made a big difference to the paths he
crossed and it didn’t take him long to make a difference. This made me think about the people I
encounter on a daily basis and the lives that I could be changing or the difference I can make for
others. That without love and kindness, nothing grows. Well, if there is one moral quote we learn
from this video, that is when we show kindness to the world, surely the world will give back.
Believe in Good things to come.

 A Reaction Paper
From Thai Advertisment entitled
“Unsong Hero”
 Ang Aking Pananampalataya

Ang buhay ng isang tao ay walang halaga  kung wala ang pananalig sa Diyos.
Dapat lagi nating ma-alala ang Panginoon sa paghihirap man o kaligayahan, huwag
nating kalimutang siya ang lumikha ng bawat isa at siya rin ang pag-asa ng mundo.

Lumaki ako relihiyosong pamilya, kaya naman simula’t bata pa lamang ay

natutunan na naming magdasal at magtiwala sa Diyos. Habang ang taon ng aking buhay
ay nadaragdagan, dumadating ako sa punto na nakakalimutsn kong magdasal minsan, at
nakakalimutsn kong nandiyan ang Diyos palagi upang gabayan ako, minsan hindi rin
mabuti ang mga inaakto ko, marami akong naging pagkukulang at sala sa Diyos.
Hanggang sa napag isip-isip ko na ang lahat, na bakit kailangan kong mag-alala kung
nandiyaan naman ang Diyos upang gabayan ako, unti unti ko na ring natatanggap ang
ibinigay niyang klase ng pagkatao ko. At habang tumatanda ako natututunan kong ang
lahat ng nangyayari ay ayon sa kagustuhan ng Diyos, na siya namang nag-iiwan ng aral
sa ating buhay. Dapat lagi nating tandaang ipagpasalamat ang lahat sa Diyos, maging
mapagpakumbaba, matulungin, at maging mabait sa kapwa tao. Ang buhay ay ipinahiram
ng Diyos kaya sana huwag nating pababayaan ang ating mga sarili at huwag kalimutang
gumawa ng mabuti kahit na sa maliit na paraan. 

Ang pananampalataya sa buhay natin ay napakahalaga. Dahil kung may tiwala

tayo sa Diyos, hindi madaling mawawalan ng pag-asa. Kapag may pananalig sa Diyos,
magkakaroon tayo ng lakas at inspirasyon upang harapin ang mga hamon at pagsubok, at
magpatuloy sa buhay.
