"A Little Story"

[Please read and ponder. This story can be applied to almost everything in this world that relates to people as a group of individuals]

This is the story about four people named: Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.

There was an important job to be done, and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it.

Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.

Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody's job.

Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it.

It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.

Nice Thought (from SMM) For Us to Ponder

From Sana Maulit Muli Episode Week 15 Day 1
(One of the key ideas of the series)

Jasmine: “…Wala akong pinagsisihan ni isang minuto sa buhay ko. Bawat oras, bawat pangyayari, masaya man o mahirap ay naging dahilan kung ano ako ngayon.”

Camille: “Pero ang dami kong oras na sinayang”

Jasmine: “Hindi sayang kung may natutunan tayo…Kaya simula ngayon, i-cherish na natin ang bawat minuto ng oras natin. Huwag na nating i-delay ang pagsabi pa ng “I love you” sa mga magulang natin, mga kaibigan o kahit na sinong mahal natin sa buhay. Limitado lang oras natin dito sa mundo. May iba nga masmaiksi pa. Kaya huwag na nating sayangin ito. Lubusin na natin ang bawat minuto ng oras ng buhay natin.”
