 Making heroes out of the country

All the best heroes are people who make themselves extraordinary. Based on the article, we encourage
ourselves to perseverance for our dreams because anything or everything is not impossible. Don’t be
discouraged. It’s often the last key in the bunch that opens the lock. We must be faithful in God because
he was one of our huge inspiration to make ourselves fighting. And also share everything what we
succeed to everyone specially to return of democracy in our country or city to encourage everybody to
stand up and never give up to dream because we have a right time when it comes up.

The greatest oak was once a little nut who held its ground. Do not be afraid to change. Believe yourself.
Push your limits, conquer your goals and be happy person with your succeeding in life. Let encourage
everyone to still persevere finish its work so that you may be matured and complete.

Small fish in a big pond

People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing. We should be following our hearts
because there is our happiness and there are our dreams so that follow our hearts to put us in our
triumph in life.

As a student I was try to stop dreaming but I never give up to fight and what is my purpose to pursue my
dream because of all my beloved ones. We need to find our niche to change and to be succeed. This is
our satisfaction we intend all the time. So, don’t be scared to fail because it will be your motivation to
climb up and to shining ourselves being the one of successful creatures of God.

Changing Paradigms

People are best resource and best hope to make a city to be a well-liberated and democratic. Don't
underestimate people because if we are not to be cooperate to make a City's succeed, the City will go
down and obstreperous. We need to create a way to stop discrimination and relied leaders solely on
their own capacities. We are democratic so that we need to give an open door to hear the call of the
people and let them to express their emotions and suggestion for our City or what is the best for us and
focus what we should need to fix quickly to prevent any remorse.

The contributions of people are important because they sustaining the City alive and democracy. The
cooperation of everyone is the key of success so that don't waste the contributions of people and we
must need to remember we live in the same community so that we need to help each other’s to rise up
and reach our goals as a community.

A Strong Heart
From time to time we all know what the differences of all each kind of government and how it works to
the different places in the world like the estate of City of Naga. The city of Naga was a city in shambles
but when people elected the new mayor, they put themselves to the politician who have a strong heart
to make a wonderful change to their City and to be well-organized the City. The politician in the article
he made out the crowd crazy because of his dedication and having a strong heart even he had a weak
mandate and weaker political patronage but he doesn't think to stop or to fight what he would like to
get away his City from the shambles and to break the curse of long standing problems that beset his
City. We need a leader that manage all throughout the City to become a successful and liberate.

As a student we need to remember that leadership is about vision and responsibility not power so that
we put our mind when we elect the leader, the leader is a great not because of their power but because
of their ability to empower the others. Success is achieved by ordinary people with an extraordinary
determination. Leader is just a guide to help people to become their City to prosperity.
The story featured a different type of love. It was short but inspiring on the
other hand due to the lessons that it gave. One thing that I like the most is
when, it highlighted the unconditional and diligent love of a mother to her
child. I noticed that, it showcased the sacrifices that a mother will do just to
prolong the life of her weak son and provide happiness until the day of his
very last breath.

Moreover, the story also reiterated that love will always be equal and fair. It
does not cost anything to find your destiny whether you came from a rich
family clan or poor with almost nothing to eat on your plate. The truest feeling
will lead us to the person, we are destined to be. It may take a long time but a
perfect opportunity will give us the chance to meet that person somewhere
down the road.

So, when I reach the right age, I will look for a wife who may not be that
beautiful like the celebrity we know, but a lady who is beautiful inside and out.
A lady who will understand my weaknesses and help me enhance my strength.
A lady who will be ready to stay with me through thick and thin and be always
on my side during my rise and fall.

There is no perfect love. Sometimes you need to sacrifice even the most
important thing that you have. Sometimes it also tests your faith. All you need
are honesty and respect. Accept who you are and do your initiative to
progress.
