WEEKLY WISDOM:
REMEMBERING A GREAT HERO
Next
week, on August 21, we celebrate the 25th anniversary of Ninoy Aquino's
gift of freedom for us, which he paid for with his life. Many times
though, we don't really appreciate the freedom we've been given.
I was at a forum last Friday where people were saying that the
youth of today take so many things for granted - that we can be so
materialistic and apathetic, and that we don't use our freedom
responsibly.
Well that's true sometimes. But last Saturday, a group of kids
chose to spend their weekend morning helping us to prepare for our
workshop - with no expectation of anything in return.
They volunteered their time and talents because they cared. They
became our first batch of bridge builders...and there are many who
are like them all over the country.
We know that if you put a few bad apples in a basket, it can spoil
the other good apples. Well, it's a good thing people aren't made like
apples. We have the freedom to choose. And we can choose to be a
positive influence. Stephen Covey calls those people who make that
choice 'transition persons'. Gandhi was a transition person. And so
was Ninoy.
This week, we can start remembering the sacrifice this great hero
made. Blaine Lee said "Sacrifice is giving up something now for what
you want the most". If you choose to, you can sacrifice something to
bring more light into someone's life. It doesn't have to be time or
money. It could be something as simple as not wanting to be right all
the time.
This week, we can pay the gift forward. This week, we can all be heroes.
