From the video entitled "My Dad is a Liar," it really touches my

heart because it shows the sacrifices of a father for his children. Even
though he doesn't have everything in this world, when it comes to the love
of his life, he can give everything he has: his best, his effort, his blood,
and his tears to give a happy and good life to his family. The title itself,
"My Dad is a Liar," means that fathers hide negative energy and feelings
from us. Even when the world gives them pain and challenges, they still
smile when facing us to ensure that we see them as strong, loving
individuals who live their lives with happiness. I felt jealous after
watching because my biological father died when I was a toddler. It hurts
me because I longed for his love and care, and I didn't spend much time
with him to express how much I loved him and was grateful to have him
as my father. Fortunately, I am blessed to have a stepfather who allowed
me to experience fatherly love. I've seen his sacrifices and efforts to give
me a good life. That's why I am determined and inspired by their endless
sacrifices, and I won't give up pursuing my studies because someday it
will be worth it. One day, I will give back everything they gave to me and
let them experience the life they deserve.

The hardest decision ever is to choose between your loved ones or

lot of people who dont know us. One of the most emotional short clips I've
ever watched is "Worth of Sacrifices." The story begins with how much a
father loves his only son, a son who loves to watch the train pass on a
bridge where his father work.But in one incident, everything will change.
The father did not notice that a train was approaching, so he did not
immediately lower the bridge because there was a passing boat. The son
noticed this, so he ran to lower the switch to return the bridge to its normal
position, but unexpectedly, the child fell near the closed part of the bridge,
and the father saw it. Because of extreme panic, the father did not know
what to do, whether to lower the switch to let the train pass or choose not
to touch it to save his child. But still, he chose to sacrifice his son. He
chose to let go of the train on the bridge, which caused his son's death.
After the train passed, none of the passengers noticed what happened or
what the father sacrificed in order for them to live. It was hard for the
father to lose his son to save a lot of people who didn't know them either.
It really touches my heart, and I can't put myself in that scenario because I
can't choose between them. But if I were the father, I would do the same.
Even though it would crush my heart, I would sacrifice my son for the
safety of a lot of people. I know my son would understand me, knowing
that he tried his best to let the train pass but unexpectedly brought him
disaster. I know in that way, he would be proud of me because I chose
wisely, knowing that if I chose him, we would live in guilt forever.
 Ang mga hamon natin sa buhay ang nagbibigay sa atin ng tatag na
humarap sa anumang pagsubok na ating nararanasan buhay. Kaya naman
kung magpapadala tayo sa pahirap nito'y malulugmok tayo at hindi
makakausad. Kinakailangan ang sipag at determinasyon upang makaahon
sa sitwasyong ibinigay saatin ng panahon.
Isa sa hinagangaan kong kuwento na talaga namang nagbigay ng
magandang aral sa akin ay ang Mensahe ng Butil ng Kape, The story of a
Carrot, Egg and a Coffee Bean. Dito'y talaga namang namulat ako sa iba't
ibang uri ng pagharap ng mga tao sa bawat pagsubok na kanilang
nararanasan sa pamamagitan ng karot itlog at butil ng kape ay
naintindihan ko ang kabuluhan ng mga pagsubok sa buhay. Nakasaad sa
kuwento na kapag inilagay ang karot sa kumukulong tubig, ito ay
malakas sa una subalit nang dumating ang pagsubok ay naging mahina.
Ang nangyayari namansa itlog ay ang labas na balat ay nagpapakita ng
kabutihan sa puso subalit nabago ng init ng kumukulong tubig at
nagpapaalaala na minsan may mga taong sa una’y may mabuting puso
subalit kapag dumaan na ang sigalot ay nagkakaroon ng tigas ng kalooban
upang hindi igawad ang kapatawaran sa nagkasala. At sa butil naman ng
kape ay nakapagpapabago sa kumukulong tubig, nadagdagan ang kulay at
bango na sumisimbolo na ikaw mismo ang nagpapabago sa mga
pangyayari sa paligid mo, lumilikha ng positibong pagbabago na dulot ng
magagandang pangyayari. Kaya’t kung papipiliin ako, nais kong maging
isang butil ng kape, sapagkat ang mga pagsubok na nararanasan ko sa
buhay ay gagawin kong inspirasyon na magpatuloy lamang, hindi ako
mababago ng pagsubok sa maling paraan, kundi ang mga paraan ko kung
pano ko ito haharapin at magagamit ang mga aral na aking natutunan
upang mabago ko ang aking buhay pati narin ang buhay ng iba. Gagawin
kong magandang modelo ang aking mga naranasan upang magbigay ng
positibong enerhiya at pananaw sa akin at pati na rin sa mga taong nasa
paligid ko.

"No legacy is so rich as honesty." - William Shakespeare. One of

the best stories that reminds me how important it is to be honest, whatever
the situation, is the story of "Honesty Pays" by Venna Kerecy. The story is
about a CEO who challenges his executives to grow a seed, promising the
next CEO role to the best cultivator. All of the executives receive seeds,
and one of them is named Jim. After they plant the seeds, Jim's colleagues
share that their plants grow perfectly while Jim’s seed didn’t grow despite
his efforts. As one year passes, the CEO will choose who will be the next
CEO. Jim is the one who is chosen because the CEO notices he brings an
empty pot, knowing that he remained honest since the seeds he gave were
boiled in hot water. Jim is a humble and hardworking individual who
encounters various trials and tribulations in his life. Despite facing
numerous temptations to take shortcuts and engage in deceitful practices,
Jim remains steadfast in his commitment to honesty. His honesty not only
earns him the respect and trust of his peers but also leads to unexpected
opportunities and blessings.

Sa bawat sakuna na ating nararanasan may mga taong andiyan para

tayo ay tulungan. Ang sunog ay isa pinakamapinsalang sakuna kaya
naman ang lahat ay nagbibigay ng kaalaman kung paano tayo makakaiwas
at makakagawa ng paraan upang masugpo ang ganitong klase ng
panganib. Mula sa kuwentong Floro Posporo napakaraming aral ang aking
natutunan, mula kay Floro na ubod ng kulit kung kayat sa kaniyang
kuryosidad naudyok siya na ikiskis ang kanyang palito at sa sobrang nais
niyang maranasan ang mga bagay bagay hindi na siya nakinig sa payo ng
kaniyang ina, na nagdala sa kanya ng panganib. Mabuti na lamang at may
mga tumulong sa kanya sa oras ng panganib na iyon, gaya na lamang ni
big tubig, mga sundalo at iba pa. Nagtulong tulong ang lahat upang
maisalba si floro posporo sa pagkakasunog kaya naman laking
pasasalamat nito.
Ang mga pangyayaring ito ay maihahalintudad ko rin sa buhay ng
isang tao, ang apoy ay rumerepresenta sa mga pagsubok na nararanasan
natin sa buhay, kayat may pagkakataon talaga na sa sobrang kuryosidad na
nararamdaman natin ay nakakapag desisyon tayo ng padalos dalos kaya
naman hndi natin inaasahan ang malaking epekto nito sa atin, kung minsan
pa nga'y hindi natin naiintindihan ang payo na naibibigay ng ibang tao
para sa atin dahil sarado ang ating isipan at sariling paniniwala lamang ang
ating pinaniniwalaan. Naiisantabi natin ang mga payo ng mga taong mahal
natin sa buhay dahil mas nangingibabaw ang ating kagustuhan na magawa
ang mga bagay na kailanmay hindi pa nararanasan. Ngunit sa kabila ng
lahat, mayroon paring mga taong handang tumulong upang maisalba tayo
sa maling desisyon na ating naisagawa, sa halip na talikuran tayo at
pabayaan na lamang ay may desidido parin na gumawa ng paraan para
mailigtas tayo sa pagkakalugmok bunga ng pagkakamaling naisagawa. At
dito lamang natin mapagtatanto ang lahat kaya naman natututo tayo at
hndi na ninanais pang maulit ang mga pagkakamaling iyon.
Mahalaga parin na bago tayo gumawa ng isang aksiyon o desisyon
ay pinagiisipan muna nating mabuti, malki rin ang naiiambag ng pakikinig
sa mga payo dahil ito ang mgaisilbing gabay saatin sa pang araw araw.
Sapagkat sa simpleng desisyon ay maaaring may malaking epekto na
makakapagpahamak sa iyong buhay. Ang apoy ay isang mapanganib kung
hindi ntin magagamit ng tama kung kayat nasa saatin na kung paano natin
panghahawakan at makipagsapalaran sa hatid nitong sakuna.
