Good Enough No Longer Is

One day inside the HR director’s office an interview was taking place.
INTERVIEWER: “So why did you leave your previous job?”
APPLICANT: “The company relocated and they did not tell me where!!!”
There was a time when horror stories used to begin with: "It was a dark and stormy night..." Now it begins with your boss saying, "I never wanted you to leave but..." And so you enter the house of horrors.
Buzzards, Bats and Bumble Bees

The name Wayne Rice, editor of the book entitled “More Hot Illustrations for Youth Talks” is familiar to me. I’ve used many of the stories found from that book and have found it helpful in giving life lessons. Delightfully however, I came across a material this time written by James Danhof, also from an Internet site and his contributions have really caught my attention to his wisdom in catching lessons fit for life learning. Allow me to share with you his findings on 3 kinds of creatures that never learned how to fly given an abnormal situation.
If you put a buzzard in a pen six or eight feet square and entirely open at the top, the bird, in spite of his ability to fly, will be an absolute prisoner. The reason is that a buzzard always begins a flight from the ground with a run of ten or twelve feet. Without space to run, as is his habit, he will not even attempt to fly, but will remain a prisoner for life in a small jail with no hope.

I had a scheduled talk in Tagaytay.
It was a stormy day. But a commitment is a commitment.
And so early 6:30 morning, My wife Lilia, Pam my assistant and I left Manila and took the South Luzon Expressway. We arrived early. We haven’t had our breakfast. I know a very nice place called Santis; tried it before and fell in love with a dish they made called Tuna Sashimi salad. I’ve always wanted to go back and taste that dish again and now the moment is here.
The store opened at 8AM and we entered the place 2 minutes before eight. Judith the manager welcomed us. And when I told her I would love to taste their famous Tuna Sashimi Salad she said, “Sir, I am sorry but the chef will come in at 8:30AM but please do make yourself comfortable and I can bring you anything else you like.”
Almost as Good as Your Dog

If you can start the day without caffeine, if you can get along without pep pills, if you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains, if you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,
If you can eat the same food every day and be grateful for it, if you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time, if you can overlook it when those you love take it out on you when, though no fault of yours, something goes wrong,
If you can take criticism and blame without resentment, if you can ignore a friend's limited education and never correct him/her, if you can resist treating a rich friend better than a poor friend,
Experience Education and Expertise

There are clichés that may not be true. Let me give you some of them.
“Practice makes perfect.” Not necessarily true.
Practice makes permanent. This is true. Ask any golfer. If you have a defective golf swing and you practice it constantly then you will be permanently defective.
Experience is the best teacher. Not necessarily true.
Only evaluated experience teaches best. Many people continue doing the same mistakes not because they are lacking in experiencing but simply because they never evaluated their experiences.
Experience is not the same as education.

Each year, CNN gives $100,000 to the winner (from a field of ten finalists - winnowed from 9,000 nominees from all over the world) of its "Hero of the Year" award. This year, a 28-year-old Filipino, Efren Peñaflorida, made it to the top ten.
Once in a while comes an excellent opportunity to showcase to the world the dignity of Filipinos able to turn tragedy into triumph, from adversity to opportunity.
I have voted for Efren Peñaflorida. And I will vote for him again... and again...
Maybe you would or should too.

There are questions that are hard to answer.
In the wake of the recent calamity many people are asking questions.
- Why did the calamity occur?
- Who is responsible for this?
- Why does this have to happen to me at a time like this?
- Where is God in all of these?
- Why do I feel so angry?
- Is this the end times?
- Is God judging our country?
- What will happen to me now?
- Will I still be able to recover?
A Stronger Storm Headed Our Way

The flood waters have not yet subsided and a stronger storm is headed our way.
In times like these, when logic and reason do not work, prayer does!
Speakers like me can encourage people to stay strong in the midst of the storm. Scientists can provide helpful info on how to act during a storm but only Jesus can still the storm.
