“To the world, you maybe but one person but to one person, you maybe the world” – by Heather Darling-Cortes
By: Ferdinand Luyun | Throughout history, mankind has been subjected to frequent transgressions and humiliations. No one is exempted. It is an integral part of our human nature.
To counter balance these weaknesses, we are endowed with brilliance and tremendous gift of a will to overcome these odds by doing the right thing as living examples of what humanity can be. I am not a perfect human being, far from it. Incredibly, instead of choosing the road well traveled, I decided a long time ago to blaze my own trail in order to recognize and appreciate the true meaning of what life is all about,
its gifts and treasures which we constantly seek in order to make a difference.
A splendid endeavor with a worthy cause.
My last column of Organizational Transparencies, I wrote about the real effects of human behavior in the progress or regression of companies or organizations based on truth and facts and not on fictions. The article was meant to be informative and inspirational in nature notably with emphasis of our daily reverent relationships with others. No pun intended. Most of our astute readers were appreciative and complimentary of the exactness of the article. A breath of fresh air indeed. Objective writing connotes simplicity in use, neutrality in character and reality and honesty of data. Needless to say, a few detractors navigated the way around towards anger and resentment. As the saying goes “the truth always hurts”. Perhaps I can assume that the article was not meant for their perusal. For whatever it is, I wish you well and say, “que sera, sera”
Most of you will agree that our imperfect world could use a little “Genuine Attitude” these days to make a difference in our imperfect life! For this is the beauty of life that empower millions of us to differentiate the good from the uncouth side of things. The world we live in is full of complications and living simply has not been easy. However, as part of our human endurance and spirit, some of us have managed to experience greatness with gentleness, see possibilities instead of problems and turned “possible’ from impossible. A complete turnaround from the universal feeling of hopelessness brought about by the egocentric attitude and greed of those in power. Some of us are filled with hope that inspire others to be heroically helpful. This started me thinking of the many silent heroes and heroines who are performing simple tasks of kindness to our fellow human beings with profound implications, a magnificent vision to moral victory.
As I look around me, I am more aware of the countless blessings that life has to offer and more appreciative of the pleasures or gifts which we can extend to the lives of our kindred to make a difference. And in this spirit, we are grateful and happy for sharing a part of our lives with others. No one should feel inferior by being himself or herself. We are here to live amply with vision, hope, achievement and to enrich the world with dignity and integrity.
