The Mysterious Mountain

                        The selection "The Mysterious Mountain" from the title alone I can say from the start that is  an interesting selection and I could understand easily what it talks all about and I can relate to this selection well.But, I can' deny that when I read further the selection,I said to myself;"Oh, what a wrong impression I have made".I thought  the title itself will meet my impression that is interesting and I can fully understand the selection.I found it more challenging and a little bit difficult because it has a big difference from the articles that I had read before.This article is full of of unfamiliar words, and what I did so that I can understand the article better, I used dictionary and other references to find its meaning.If the meaning of the certain word can't meet my satisfaction or I can't relate on,I diligently scan other related words or get their synonyms which is the easier thing to do.It is really true that in reading especially like this kind of article,I must consider the organization of thoughts,read and reread because it helps me more to cope with the infomation given in the said article and to improve my skills in understanding.Through reading this kind of article it helps me more in exercising my skills in observing and interpreting what the article is all about.Some of the language used in the article is so strange  to me, I really tried to read and reread so that can fully understand.But indeed,I enjoyed it because I learned new words and it adds more in my vocabulary.I consider this as challenging task because it makes me more disciplined in my reading skills and habits.And it is true that"ONE PAGE A DAY, TAKES IGNORANCE AWAY!"So keep on reading good books-especially the Word of God the Bible.

No One Stops To Say "Thank You" Anymore

                                                          My Personal Reaction
     

                      People who do not know their ethics and the basics social graces are often misunderstood as uncivilized people.To many, they look funny, awkward,uneducated and ignorant.Imagine a well-known local homeless man in the article who sets as an example of having good manners towards the people surrounds him.What do you think will people say about you?

                       For me,manners are based on our brotherly and sisterly love towards others."Making them feel that they are valued and important." I learned more lessons from this article such that I must treat people equally even from different tribes,races and status in life. I must discover,too,the barriers for developing  my manners and correct it in a way that I can progressively give  respect and value  others integrity.I must develop my habit of giving positive manner towards others and must be sensitive enough to weigh respect to them as they are.
                      I was impressed  and enlightened about this article.It illustrates  how I should develop and show good manners towards  other people that I am encountering everyday.It reminds me always  how good manners are important and useful in my everyday life and even my lifestyle as well.This article gave me a fresh-inspiring lesson on how I develop my treatment towards others.I am so thankful with my parents that they taught me to respect and value others lives which I keep 'til this time.And it is absolutely true that adequate parenting is the major factor in teaching,motivating and guiding children to live a life with good manners towards their parents, siblings,  to their selves and to others especially to the elderly.

                     Manners also serve as a tool which provides and guides every individual to balance own attitude towards others and sustain a good treatment towards other people.In fact,it takes me to the point of realization that people come and go,so the best thing to do is show respect and be courteous enough.
                     Therefore, manners require self-discipline,respect and love.A person who respects and has a love to others will always be considerate and tactful in his words,expressions and deeds.Manners can be done using magic words such that "Thank you",Excuse me" and others,and using gestures and actions like "Extending a helping hand"and "Any act of charity".And  above all respect God and  be courteous to His creature.

"The Difference between the Impossible and the Possible Lies in a Person's Determination".Tommy Lacorda

                 Determination plays a most vital role in achieving person's success in life. It molds and prepare the person to press onward in spite of his limitations and circumstances itself. Many works cease because the person was not prepared for the opposition and criticism about his integrity-the discouragement was just too much.Every good work and step that the person's make to reach his dreams and goals in life, is unavoidable that there are those  who will try to stop it, try to pull him down which leads the person's to discouragement and lack of confidence that's why he will withdraw for becoming of who he is in the future.He will think that all things are impossible for him to reach!But if determination will be rooted in person's heart and mind, he could learn confidence to face criticism in two ways:He will come to realize that criticism and obstacle are steps to strengthen his integrity that he can and that criticism work is nothing new and he will grow in his ability to step out on faith and courage because he will realize that he is not alone-there are people who give their endlessly support and love to him and most especially God is there that will strengthen  him to continue to work out and achieve his desirable goals and dreams in life in spite of opposition.

Here's an inspiring story about determination I would like to share to you.

 

                                     Determination through Opposition
                Jason was a young Christian who had a vision to reach youth. He worked hard to organized a rally as a means to bring gospel to them.His enthusiasm was certainly not lacking as he called others to join him in his vision of winning his peers to Christ.

                   Although there were many who supported Jason's work and shared in it by giving of their time,finances and prayers, Jason quickly learned that with any worthy cause comes opposition. Jason heard the comments firsthand."This is never going to work"."I don't believe anybody will attend, even if it gets organized."Some questioned his integrity-"Jason just wants to be the boss or "he has to be in the limelight".

                    After hearing these comments, it didn't take very long for Jason to begin doubting whether he should continue to try to launch this outreach rally. Then came the other disappointments. People said they would help and then would not show up.Rumors spread that the rally had been canceled due to lack of of interest. The posters, which had already been mailed out, had the main speaker's name misspelled.

                    Jason, however, continued to pray. He continued to seek support from those who shared his vision.He pressed forward despite opposition and doubts,and the rally was held as scheduled.There have been many more rallies in Jason's community since that first one, each having some sort of opposition and each being used by the Lord to further His Kingdom.

                  This movie inspires me lot because it plays a vital role in family relationships.After I watched the movie, it seems it realizes me more that as a daughter I should be responsible enough to handle things whatever trials that life may brings in our family relationships.The twins in this movie did everything just to restore the relationship of their parents. I really touched of this movie because imagine how young they are but indeed they successfully restore their broken family.It awakens and enlightens us that nothing is more important than our family to be unite as one and the love of God be center in the family relationship.And it reminds us, too that divorce is not the solution of the problems and trials that life may brings.Instead we will listen to  the advices of the ungodly people,we will run to Jesus who is the BEST SOLUTION of this storms in life.God never gives us trials that we can't handle,it is just a test to strengthen our love to each other and to draw closer to Him.
