Women are like ... mathematics.

Nakakahilo at nakakapagod silang intiendihin.

Men Are Like

                                                   Marvin Diamante  - Mr. International Philippines 2024

Men are like ... pandanggo sa ilaw.

Kailangan kayong magkasundo ... para sabay at maganda ang galaw.

Motivation As Motivating Factor

Motivation is the process that initiates, guides and maintains goal-oriented behaviors.  For instance, motivation is what helps you lose extra weight, or pushes you to get that promotion at work. In short, motivation causes you to act in a way that gets you closer to your goals.

Motivation is a crucial element in setting and attaining our objectives. It is one of the driving forces behind human behavior. It fuels one to persevere and have patience until the objective is met.

Regarding the image above ... some important names crop up to describe the guy's attitude and their motivations ... or the lack of it.

1. Estee Lauder - "I didn't get there by wishing for it ... or hoping for it, but by WORKING for it. "

Precisely ... if you want to escape ... you have to WORK hard to make it happen.

2. Mahatma Gandhi - "Strength does not come from PHYSICAL capacity.  It comes from indomitable WILL."

I believe that.  If there's a WILL ... there's a WAY. That what happens with the guy on the right... his motivation is to escape.  I can't say the same thing with the other guy.

3. Helen Keller -"ALONE we can do so LITTLE ... TOGETHER we can do so MUCH.

The guy can do the job (escaping) by himself. The job can be finished faster if the other guy has the same motivation as him.

4. Mother Teresa - "I can do things you CAN NOT ... YOU can do things I CAN NOT. Together we CAN do great things.

If both men are on the same webpage ... escaping is a piece of cake.

5. Audrey Hepburn - "Nothing is impossible ... the word itself says ... I am possible.

Escaping is not a Mission Impossible if you put your mind and heart into it.

6. George Weinberg - "Hope never abandons you ... you abandon it."

The guy on the right hopes he can escape ... the guy on the left from the looks of it ... abandoned hope.

7. Will Rogers - "Even if you are on the right track, you'll get run over ... if you just SIT there.

He is talking about the man on the left. You can never escape ... if you will sit on your behind ... and continue to SIT and sleep.

Having Hung-Ups With The PAST?

Some people could not move FORWARD in their lives because they unknowingly tied themselves BACKWARD.

They could not see much hope in the FUTURE because they always looked back and saw what happened in the PAST

They cannot become what they want to be because they are too attached to what they have been.

Just bear in mind folks that your PAST does not define your FUTURE ...but the lessons learned from your past experiences don't need to be forgotten. 

Make them your inspiration ... and your driving force to shape a successful future.

OVP Budget Hearring,

I just want to react to this post.

Pagkatapos tayong purgahin ng mga scoop at inside stories sa YouTube regarding the OVP budget hearings ... and then binondat tayo ng blow by blow account sa pag-ALICE ni Alice Guo ... tapos sa West Philippine Sea ginawa na yatang panata ng mga tsekwa ang mambomba ... pagbukas mo ng computer si Cassandra Li Ong at Pastor Quiboloy naman ang paboritong pulutan. Wait humahabol pa si Harry Roque. Ad nauseam.

And if that is not enough ... nakakarindi na rin ang mga mga poltical memes sa anumang social media platform ... bulag na lang at bingi ang walang ALAM at walang paki-ALAM. 

Kung wala kang reaction at chill ka pa rin and you don't care how government squanders and misuse the people's money ... if you are reacting matter-of-factly sa pag-island hopping ni Alice at Cassandra in their way to freedom ... and if you are emotionally ambivalent ... na instead of supporting the police in their quest to dredge up the fugitive ... you give them a thumbs down ... something is really wrong. IN YOU! At tama si Lex Francisco.

Pakicheck mo lang ang sarili mo ... dahil baka parte ka na ng problema - lalo na kung patuloy mong binoboto ng mga kandidato na parang hindi nagiisip.

Ang pagboto ay isang sagradong bagay. Habang yong matinong botante ay sinasala kung sino ang nararapat mamuno sa bayan ... ikaw naman naman nilalaro mo lang na para kang nakipag-jack en poy.

Kailan ka ba magigising sa katotohanan ... na isa ka sa mga dahilan kung bakit may mga senador na ginawa na lang nilang tambayan ang senado ... Ilang barko pa ba natin ang kailangang mabangga at mabutas ... pero dedma at wala kang marinig na sign of protest sa kanila.

Binoto mo sila di ba ... so okey lang ba sa iyo na pro-Tsekwa sila at hindi pro-Filipino? Ini-luklok natin sila sa pedestal ... and it is an abnormality na kampi sila sa kalaban ... at ang tingin sa iyo ay insignificant ... walang karapatan ... or worst para ka lang isang "MIRON" - walang value ... at hindi importante.

Politcal Memes and Editorials

A political meme is a purposefully designed visual framing of a position. Memes are a new brand and fashion of political messages, campaigns, and advertising. It is a new way of communication ... a joke or humor understood only by a particular group of people.   They are inside jokes or private jokes and has the ability to trigger an emotional reaction.

Memes work politically if they go viral when shared on any social media platform ... and if they help foster and nurture affinity, attachment, and a sense of belonging to a political party, circle or  “in-group” and if they make a strong and riveting statement about a public figure or political issue.

Memes can spread rapidly online and into popular culture due to their shareability — they are easily created, consumed, altered, and disseminated. They can quickly communicate the creator’s stance on the subject. The stronger the emotional response provoked by a post, the greater the intent to spread it.

On the other hand, editorials are magazine or newspaper articles that cater to the publisher or the editor's opinions and points of view. It is usually accompanied by political caricatures or cartoons that are related to what the editor says.

 

Like political memes, it is meant to influence public opinion and encourage and stimulate analytical and judicious critical thinking that sometimes makes its readers take action on an issue. At its core, an editorial is an opinionated news story delivered in professionally.

It usually addresses and covers the most pressing issues of the day, viral political developments, and attempts to devise and hatch new perspectives and viewpoints based on non-partisan and unbiased scrutiny of facts on hand vis a vis some other contradicting opinions.

An editorial is predominantly about balance just like Fox News adopting a motto "Fair and Balanced" network. But on some cases, editorials were meant to stir things up, when such is the need.
