RESPONSIBILTY

Every dream starts with the vision, a vision for the future. And every dream won't work without a person's frugality, hardwork and devotion to attain one's purpose. Many of the wealthiest men begin life from poverty

With its consistent demand to improve the state of life, they  become successful. While success is within their reach, they continue to fight and remain firm and strong to keep it or even reach another goal.

The owner of the National Book Store started from a small book stand in the sidewalk. Now, it has become the largest store selling your favorite books and school and office supplies. A boy who sold shoes at his very young age in a small corner with the help of his father is now stepping up as he named his store, Shoe Mart which has more than 30 giant malls all over the country. These people can never imagine that their venture would turn into a huge business empire that it is today.

They never stop, they continue to plan and have passion in what they do. The Philippines' notorious boom-bust economic cycle has never been a hindrance of their success. They always find opportunities in every crisis situation.

However, dreaming for easy money and instant wealth is another story. Many Filipinos love to get rich instantly. Who doesn't want it anyway? If one get rich quickly with relatively little effort, why not? In fact a lot of people queuing up to buy lotto tickets.

This number of people continue to grow especially when the prize reach into hundred millions.

Everyone becomes greedy when comes into money. Money pays great relief as if you don't have problems anymore as perceived by others. However, you work hard and / or even harder in order to keep one's own luxurious economic status. The truth is, luxury means great responsibility.

Responsibility means to help others not to make them abusive, to let them grow and develop not to make them greedy, and to make them independent not dependent. If you become the wealthiest man in the whole world, you must share with what you have. However it is not enough to give the least the food to eat and when they ran out of it, you tend to give them again. It is absurd to give money to the paupers if you don't teach them how to spend it wisely. "It is more of teaching them how to catch fish not just giving them fish directly". Yes! This has become a cliche'. But how about training them to be the teachers of those who want to catch fish.

This is now a different level of responsibility which needs an in-depth review to transformation.

The problem with the system of our education is only the mentality of its teachers who build-up the mind of the pupils.
