Learn to Be Patient with those People who find it Hard to Express Themselves
Not everyone knows how to communicate their emotions. Some of them find it hard to express what they truly feel inside. So if you are surrounded by this kind of people, then please be patient with them. There’s a reason why they act that way.

Those Who Experience Emptiness Will Be Able To Give More
I was in the ATM Booth and waiting for my turn to withdraw some money. The waiting line was too long because the government already released the budget for the 4P’s beneficiaries. It’s a program that provides cash for the poorest of the poor in the Philippines. With so much excitement on their faces, the beneficiaries waited patiently to receive the cash they will spend for Christmas. Some don’t know how to operate the ATM machine, so they need to ask the guard to assist them. I was there observing the gladness in their faces as they receive the cash that they’ve been waiting for.
