The Fence

As I was browsing my old documents I stumbled upon this file. I thought I posted this already in my blog but to my surprise I didn't. I read it again and it is really worth sharing. So I hope you enjoy the story.

Edel and I attended the Basic Communication Skills Workshop sponsored by Laguna Feast and facilitated by the Light of Jesus Training Ministry. It was held at the Casa del Nino Montessori School in Pacita Complex, San Pedro Laguna. 

It was a memorable experience. Edel and I learned a lot from this workshop and we’re excited to be back next week for more! Just this day, we discussed three out of five modules. The speakers are highly knowledgeable of the topic and they’re highly entertaining. The speakers are full of energy. In fact at the beginning of time, they are form of energies encapsulated in the form human beings. 

Here's a story from that workshop that made a mark in my heart. 

There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence.

The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence.

Finally the day came when the boy didn’t lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper. The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone.

The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said, “You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won’t matter how many times you say I’m sorry, the wound is still there.”

The little boy then understood how powerful his words were. He looked up at his father and said “I hope you can forgive me father for the holes I put in you.”

“Of course I can,” said the father.

Let's be careful with our words.

Until my next post!

Journey to the Past: An Introduction

I’ve been blogging for a year in this blog and I think I haven’t introduced myself (well aside from the about me page) yet. So here’s a post that will show you a glimpse of who I am. I’m happy with my title.

My favorite subjects are math and science. I love computing. I love the idea of problem solving. I love numbers. I love thinking of a better way on how to simplify things with the use of science (observation) and math (computations). I know I’m a good researcher. I’m a good absorber of knowledge. I’m a very curious kid very hungry for information that would simplify problems using the tools I’m good at. As a matter of fact, in our office, I’m considered as the best problem solver, mini-tool programmer even if I’m not in the IT department.

But here’s the catch I’m not good at public speaking, constructing sentences, and some other things that is related to English. In fact, if I were given a chance not to take English subjects I would grab that opportunity no thinking twice. No second thoughts! Also, if you read my English papers before you’ll see grammatical errors after grammatical errors and my writing has no sense at all (well not all but most of them). English is really found outside of my comfort zone.

I remember the time when I took the entrance exam of my alma mater. In that entrance exam there are four subjects, Math, Science, Reading and Language. My grades in science and math are exceptionally high (above the 95th percentile) but my Reading is 71st percentile and the worst of them all Language 54th percentile. Imagine that. I didn’t pass the entrance exam. So I applied for wait list. Luckily, because of my exceptionally high grades in science and math I landed on a BS Chemical Engineering course.

I know you’re currently thinking of this line, “You’re saying that you’re not good at English and yet here you are creating you’re craft with the use of words, sentences and paragraph. You’re insane!”

Yeah. Most of the people who went out of their comfort zone were once called insane but most of them made a difference in this world. Most of them created a dent in the universe.

I know I am not that good in the English grammar but I know my mind is great. And I can do anything with the help of my brain.

I know you can do it too.

Get out of your comfort zone.

Share your greatest talents to the world.

Contribute.

Make a difference.

Until my next post!

This week I saw a great video of Steve Jobs during the 2005 Commencement exercise of Stanford University. He was the guest speaker of that event. I was inspired by this video and I want to share it with you. 

Here's the video clip. 

This is the best commencement exercise speech I ever heard so far.
