JK Rowling was rejected twelve times by publishers.
A glimmer of hope for me then … perhaps???

Philippines has been known to be the home of resilient people. Disaster upon disaster, Filipinos have undeniably become stronger and optimistic as seen in the context of post-disaster recovery and survival. In simple words, this narrative of the so-called Filipino resiliency is derived from Filipinos still being able to paint smile on their faces despite the mishap as well as being able to overcome the suffering and trauma.
Even so, the strike of the pandemic appears to have greatly affected the Filipinos as the tremors it carries along covers a lot of aspects in the society. The pandemic, being a pain in the neck that hinders people from doing what they usually do throughout the day, signifies huge impacts in their lives. Such societal changes in the country have definitely brought worries to Filipinos, leaving yet another period where their resiliency is put to the test. However, more than ever…

In the middle of the night, unable to sleep; by the way, it’s not insomnia but a random longer nap in the evening, hah! Meanwhile, I had a chance to ponder success and life while reading the different posts at a Facebook group. I thought, why not share my unexpected sight on the said words.
“Success” and “Life” are highly used keywords by us countless times during the world’s span. Sometimes talking to myself, I ponder deep and could not imagine existence without these two precious words from millions of words in the vocabulary.
Success life has diversified classifications differing from person to person. We set the standards or criteria to register a victory according to our perspective, observations, priorities and judgements. Therefore the success life is never identical or somehow near to similarity. However, commonly success life is recorded when one achieves or attains ones’ set targets.

This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.
I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community #, and as long as I live it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can.
“I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake.” #

# YOU can be a friend to others in some “quiet” way… by just being around for them. Showing friendship and caring to those struggling in the darkest places. YOU can be a light in the darkness.

“What we do for ourselves dies with us, but what we do for others lives on…forever”
https://quietheroes.wordpress.com/
It’s been a while. It actually feels like its been forever.
The job I started way back in late February of this year, has not only taken up most of my time, it’s also effected how I look at and see people, and I mean REALLY SEE people.
I took this job because I thought I could help those who truly need help, stupidly or naively believing I could perhaps make a difference, however small the difference.
It’s kind of strange, a foolish kluge, a conundrum that makes my attempts to sleep at night a real struggle. Yet, it’s the most fruitless and rewarding job I’ve ever undertaken throughout my working life. It’s a brilliant, cruel nightmare that never stops spewing out rewards and failures and triumphs at the exact same moment. And I love it.
The team I work with are very experienced and a little bit cynical, but…
