Di biro ang umibig
ni Jomalene Dacles

Di biro ang umibig pinahahalimuyak nito ang bibig-

o irog sa gabing mapanglaw

          ikaw ang nagsisilbi kong tanglaw

                  pinaparamdam mo na ako'y mahalaga,

            hindi man tayo palagi magkasama.

                                            o kaya naman 

                sa lamig na dala nitong hangin sa gabi

                            hiling ko sa mga tala na ika'y nasa aking tabi.

                  nag-aasam na sana'y mapansin mo ulit.

          ang araw-araw kong pangungulit.

                           

                                             di biro ang umibig.

The Key To Success: Positive Thinking and Positive Action

 by Christine Joy Rosales

Positive thinking is a positive state of mind which sees the bright side of life. A positive frame of mind brings more happiness, improves relationships and attracts success into your life. It is a mindset that everyone can build up.

However, if you want material results, such as more money, success in business or a stable job, you need to exert more effort. Getting results requires not only positive thinking, but also positive action.

 Develop a positive attitude toward life, expect a successful outcome of whatever you do, but you also need to take any necessary actions to ensure your success.

The following are simple and easy steps to radiate positivity to everyone and for yourself.

1. Allow only feelings of happiness, strength and success into your awareness.

2. Disregard and ignore negative thoughts. Refuse to think such thoughts, by substituting them with constructive, happy thoughts. Every time a negative thought finds its way into your mind, immediately replace it with a positive thought.

3. Before starting with any plan or action, visualize clearly in your mind its successful outcome. If you visualize with focus and conviction, you will be amazed at the results.

4. Associate yourself with people who think positively.

5. Think and find out what action you can take to make people happy, and act accordingly.

6. Think and find how you can improve relations with people around you, and act according to your findings.

7. Pray.

 We have been through a lot of adjustments and difficulties to this new scheme of learning. There are instances that we cry over unfinished modules, missing assignments and other responsibilities we failed to do. There are countless of unspoken battles, frustrations, and stress along in this rigorous and challenging year.

 However, few months from now, school year 2020-2021 is about to end. Yet, no one is still certain if face to face classes will resume knowing the current situation of global crisis. But what everybody is certain about is the hope that everything will be back to normal.

Sometimes, our unhealthy habits are another factor that negatively affect our learning behavior. Though, leisure time is important for our health, we always need to know when to start and learn when to stop. Distance learning is a self-directed learning and nobody knows when it will end, thus it is important to adjust and cope with the situation.

Right now, one thing that should never end is the support from our family and loved ones. Most of the time we are struggling over our modules and classes, but we need to prioritize our mental health as much as we are concerned with our grades.

Therefore, in order to finish this school year and the possible years of distance learning,we have to maximize our time and resources, set goals, work progressively, change our unhealthy habits, and start rebuilding ourselves. Only then we can succeed with good health, may it be physical or mental amidst this uncertain days of pandemic.
