Hanggang saan ba tayo dadalhin ng ating "pinag-aralan?"


Mahalaga ba ang EDUKASYON? Importante ba sa buhay ng tao ang masabing "may pinag-aralan?" Kung ang sagot dito ay "oo," bakit ang daming taong nakapag-aral nga subalit marami din namang problema? Kung "hindi" ang sagot dito, bakit ang daming naghihirap sa buhay dahil sa kawalan ng pinag-aralan?

Hindi nakapag-aral si Estela dahil sa hirap ng buhay, ni hindi siya marunong magbasa at magsulat. At tulad ng inaasahan, ang kawalan niya ng pinag-aralan ay naging ugat ng pagkakaroon niya ng maraming problema.
Nag-aaral ang mga anak niya pero hindi niya maturuan sa mga "homework" dahil nga wala siyang alam sa pagbasa. Ni hindi niya mabasa ang labels ng mga gamot, kaya nga may isang pagkakataon na nagkamali siya ng pinainom na gamot sa anak niya na may allergy sa ibang gamot. Iyon ang pinag-awayan nila nang husto ng asawa niya. Natural, importante ang kalusugan. Ang probleman naman kay Estela, hindi siya nagtatanong sa mga kasama niya na marunong bumasa.
Noong una, lagi silang nagkakabangga ng biyenan niya na isang guro sa pampublikong paaralan. Minamaliit siya ng biyenan niya na may pinag-aralan naman.
Sa mundong ginagalawan natin, sino nga ba ang mas may puwang at nararapat mabigyan ng pagkakataon?
Kung may pinag-aralan ang tao subalit pangit naman ang ugali, wala rin siyang mararating. Iyan ang palagay ko. Ibig sabihin nito, hindi ang dami ng kaalaman at dami ng kursong natapos ang pasaporte upang maging maayos at tahimik ang buhay. Gayundin naman, ang kawalan ng pinag-aralan ay hindi nangangahulugan ng kawalan ng pag-asa sa buhay. Sa aking palagay, diskarte sa buhay ang importante kung wala ka mang pinag-aralan. Subalit, hindi ko sinasabing hindi kailangang mag-aral ng mga kabataan. Sa totoo lang, kung may kakayanan rin lang magpaaral ang mga magulang, nararapat na pagtapusin nila ng pag-aaral ang mga bata. Iba pa rin ang taong may pinag-aralan na , may mabuting pag-uugali pa.
Sa bandang huli ng istorya, sinabi ng biyenan ni Estela na siya yata ang mas mangmang sa kanilang dalawa dahil hindi niya naunawaan ang sitwasyon... Tama siya -- ang taong may pinag-aralan, marunong umintindi sa totoong hamon ng buhay.
Ito ang napulot ko sa pelikulang ABAKADA... INA.
May isa pa akong naisip isulat dahil sa panonood ko ng pelikulang ito. Abangan nyo na lang...

Management Lessons from GUNG HO

'I must recognize that man achieves the highest degree of efficiency when he plays. If someone says he works out of loyalty to the company, he is a damned liar.' ----Soichiro Honda Founder-millionaire Honda Motor Co., Ltd. When a company fails, who should take the blame? When the workers complain, who should do some reflections, the management or the workers themselves? Hunt Stevenson, in the movie GUNG HO (means to WORK TOGETHER) , needed to do some reflections before it was too late. His failure to do some actions would result in closure of Assan Motors, thereby leaving hundreds of American laborers unemployed. According to Robert Heller, the author of the article EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT: TAKING RESPONSIBILITY, "How the boss behaves has a profound effect on how other managers perform - and thus on the performance of the entire outfit. That's a self-evident truth, acknowledged by most people. But few bosses acknowledge the corollary: that inferior performance is partl...

Levels Earned, Lessons Learned in SHAIYA

The holy week was not really holy for me. This was time of the year when I played hard. Really played hard, as in trying to make the toon level every time I logged in . And to help my toon level up, even my husband and my daughter would play with her. This year, my toon is DanieGanda. Danie, for the record, is my daughter's nick name. But I thought of adding the word "Ganda," which is a tagalog term for Beauty. DanieGanda is a human priest in the normal mode. As the rule in Shaiya, a player won't be able to create a character in the hard mode [here, toons are stronger] without first reaching level 40 in the normal mode, which is a level lower than HM. When DanieGanda started, she was power leveled by king-kruller, whom DanieGanda met while my daughter was playing the toon. King_kruller was als o Danie's first friend in Shaiya. At the moment, he's already level 58, UM. The experience was good for Danie was able to meet players from different walks o...

My SHAIYA battle for a week

A duo with -kamikaze- MMORPG. Online games. Virtual world. SHAIYA. The past holy week signaled the beginning and end of my battle in the virtual world. I started playing an MMORPG for a week -- trying to level up my character named SexySteffi in an online game known to players as SHAIYA . It wasn't as sophisticated as Wow but most things are basically the same. The best parts would be killing monsters to level up and killing darkies to get higher ranks. Another good thing about online games like SHAIYA is the opportunity to talk to people or gamers from different parts of the world. I've met gamers from Columbia, Chile, Texas, Australia, Canada, etc. Gamers really come from different walks of life. Some are young, some old, some married, some single, some just fooling around, some serious about leveling up. As a priest, SexySteffi is in demand in the game :-) Some players would always invite her to a party so that they could conquer the monsters without getting killed a...
