A good traveller is one who does not know where he is going to, and a perfect traveller does not know where he came from.
Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is the noble art of leaving things undone. The wisdom of life consists in the elimination of non-essentials.
Hope is like a road in the country; there was never a road, but when many people walk on it, the road comes into existence.
If you can spend a perfectly useless afternoon in a perfectly useless manner, you have learned how to live.
No one realizes how beautiful it is to travel until he comes home and rests his head on his old, familiar pillow.
Our lives are not in the lap of the gods, but in the lap of our cooks.
Society can exist only on the basis that there is some amount of polished lying and that no one says exactly what he thinks.
The wise man reads both books and life itself.
This I conceive to be the chemical function of humor: to change the character of our thought.
Today we are afraid of simple words like goodness and mercy and kindness. We don't believe in the good old words because we don't believe in good old values anymore. And that's why the world is sick.
Where there are too many policemen, there is no liberty. Where there are too many soldiers, there is no peace. Where there are too many lawyers, there is no justice.

MARRIAGE
When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her hand and said, I've got something to tell you. She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes.
Suddenly I didn't know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know what I was thinking. I want a divorce. I raised the topic calmly.
She didn't seem to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly, why? I avoided her question. This made her angry. She threw away the chopsticks and shouted at me, you are not a man! That night, we
didn't talk to each other. She was weeping. I knew she wanted to find out what had happened to our marriage. But I could hardly give her a satisfactory answer; she had lost my heart to Dew. I didn't love her anymore. I just pitied her!
With a deep sense of guilt, I drafted a divorce agreement which stated that she could own our house, our car, and 30% stake of my company.
She glanced at it and then tore it into pieces. The woman who had spent ten years of her life with me had become a stranger. I felt sorry for her wasted time, resources and energy but I could not take back what I had said for I loved Dew so dearly. Finally she cried loudly in front of me, which was what I had expected to see. To me her cry was actually a kind of release. The idea of divorce which had obsessed me
for several weeks seemed to be firmer and clearer now.
The next day, I came back home very late and found her writing something at the table. I didn't have supper but went straight to sleep and fell asleep very fast because I was tired after an eventful day with Dew.
When I woke up, she was still there at the table writing. I just did not care so I turned over and was asleep again.
In the morning she presented her divorce conditions: she didn't want anything from me, but needed a month's notice before the divorce. She requested that in that one month we both struggle to live as normal a life as possible. Her reasons were simple: our son had his exams in a month's time and she didn't want to disrupt him with our broken marriage.
This was agreeable to me. But she had something more, she asked me to recall how I had carried her into out bridal room on our wedding day.
She requested that everyday for the month's duration I carry her out of our bedroom to the front door every morning. I thought she was going crazy. Just to make our last days together bearable I accepted her odd request.
I told Dew about my wife's divorce conditions. She laughed loudly and thought it was absurd. No matter what tricks she applies, she has to face the divorce, she said scornfully.
My wife and I hadn't had any body contact since my divorce intention was explicitly expressed. So when I carried her out on the first day, we both appeared clumsy. Our son clapped behind us, daddy is holding mummy in his arms. His words brought me a sense of pain. From the bedroom to the sitting room, then to the door, I walked over ten meters with her in my arms. She closed her eyes and said softly; don't tell our son about the divorce. I nodded, feeling somewhat upset. I put her down outside the door. She went to wait for the bus to work. I drove alone to the office.
On the second day, both of us acted much more easily. She leaned on my chest. I could smell the fragrance of her blouse. I realized that I hadn't looked at this woman carefully for a long time. I realized she was not young any more. There were fine wrinkles on her face, her hair was graying! Our marriage had taken its toll on her. For a minute I wondered what I had done to her.
On the fourth day, when I lifted her up, I felt a sense of intimacy returning. This was the woman who had given ten years of her life to me.
On the fifth and sixth day, I realized that our sense of intimacy was growing again. I didn't tell Dew about this. It became easier to carry her as the month slipped by. Perhaps the everyday workout made me stronger.
She was choosing what to wear one morning. She tried on quite a few dresses but could not find a suitable one. Then she sighed, all my dresses have grown bigger. I suddenly realized that she had grown so thin, that was the reason why I could carry her more easily.
Suddenly it hit me... she had buried so much pain and bitterness in her heart. Subconsciously I reached out and touched her head.
Our son came in at the moment and said, Dad, it's time to carry mum out. To him, seeing his father carrying his mother out had become an essential part of his life. My wife gestured to our son to come closer and hugged him tightly. I turned my face away because I was afraid I might change my mind at this last minute. I then held her in my arms, walking from the bedroom, through the sitting room, to the hallway. Her hand surrounded my neck softly and naturally. I held her body tightly; it was just like our wedding day.
But her much lighter weight made me sad. On the last day, when I held her in my arms I could hardly move a step. Our son had gone to school. I held her tightly and said, I hadn't noticed that our life lacked intimacy.
I drove to office... jumped out of the car swiftly without locking the door. I was afraid any delay would make me change my mind... I walked upstairs. Dew opened the door and I said to her, Sorry, Dew, I do not want the divorce anymore.
She looked at me, astonished, and then touched my forehead. Do you have a fever? She said. I moved her hand off my head. Sorry, Dew, I said, I won't divorce. My marriage life was boring probably because she
and I didn't value the details of our lives, not because we didn't love each other any more. Now I realize that since I carried her into my home on our wedding day I am supposed to hold her until death do us apart.
Dew seemed to suddenly wake up. She gave me a loud slap and then slammed the door and burst into tears. I walked downstairs and drove away.
At the floral shop on the way, I ordered a bouquet of flowers for my wife. The salesgirl asked me what to write on the card. I smiled and wrote, I'll carry you out every morning until death do us apart.
The small details of your lives are what really matter in a relationship. It is not the mansion, the car, property, the money in the bank, blah..blah.. blah. These create an environment conducive for happiness but cannot give happiness in themselves. So find time to be your spouse's friend and do those little things for each other that build intimacy. Do have a real happy marriage!
If you don't share this, nothing will happen to you..
If you do, you just might save a marriage.

The following is an actual question given in a University of Washington chemistry mid term.
The answer by one student was so "profound" that the professor shared it
with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the
pleasure of enjoying it as well :
Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?
Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using
Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant.
One student, however, wrote the following:
First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need
to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which
they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to
Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many
souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today.
Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one
of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can
project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are,
we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we
look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states
that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to
stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.
This gives two possibilities:
1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter
Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase
until all Hell breaks loose.
2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell,
then the temperature and pressure will drop
until Hell freezes over.
So which is it?
If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my
Freshman year that, "It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep
with you," and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then
number two must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has
already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has
frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is
therefore, extinct..... .leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the
existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting:
"Oh my God."

Butch Jimenez, head of PLDT's media and strategic communications
department, delivered this speech at the UP Diliman Class 2003
commencement exercises
AS college students, you're just about to set sail into the real
world. As you prepare for the battleground of life, you'll hear many
speeches, read tons of books and get miles of advice telling you to
work hard, dream big, go out and do something for yourself, and have
a vision.
Not bad advice, really. In fact, following these nuggets of truth may
just bring you to the top. But as I've lived my life over the years,
I have come to realize that it is great to dream big, have a vision,
make a name, and work hard. But guess what: There's something better
than that.
So my message today simply asks the question, What's better than...?
Let's start off with something really simple. What's better than a
long speech? No doubt, a short one. So, you guys are in luck because
I do intend to keep this short.
Now, let me take you through a very simple math exam. I'll rattle off
a couple of equations, and you tell me what you observe about them.
Be mindful of the instructions. You are to tell me what you observe
about the equations. Here goes:
3+4=7, 9+2=11, 8+4=13, and 6+6=12. Tell me, what do you observe?
Every time I conduct this test, more than 90 percent of the
participants immediately say, 8+4 is NOT 13, it's 12!
That's true and they are correct. But they could have also observed
that the three other equations were right. That 3+4 is 7, that 9+2 is
11, and that 6+6 is 12.
What's my point? Many people immediately focus on the negative
instead of the positive. Most of us focus on what's wrong with other
people more than what's right about them.
Examine those four equations. Three were right and only one was
wrong. But what is the knee-jerk observation? The wrong equation.
If 10 people you didn't know were to walk through that door, most of
you would describe those people by what's negative about them. He's
fat. He's balding. Oh, the short one. Oh, the skinny girl.
Ahhh, 'yung pango. Etc.
Get the point? It's always the negative we focus on and not the
positive. You'll definitely experience this in the corporate world.
You do a hundred good things and one mistake-guess what? Chances are,
your attention will be called on that one mistake.
So what's better than focusing on the negative? Believe me, its
focusing on the positive. And if this world could learn to focus on
the positive more than the negative, it would be a much nicer place
to live in.
Better than working hard We have always been told to work hard. Our
parents say that, our teachers say that, and our principal says that.
But there's something better than merely working hard. It's working
SMART.
It's taking time to understand the situation, and coming out with an
effective and efficient solution to get more done with less time and
effort. As the Japanese say, "There's always a better way."
One of the most memorable case studies I came across with as I
studied Japanese management at Sophia University in Tokyo was the
case of the empty soap box, which happened in one of Japan's biggest
cosmetics companies.
The company received a complaint that a consumer had bought a box of
soap that was empty. It immediately isolated the problem to the
assembly line, which transported all the packaged boxes of soap to
the delivery department. For some reason, one soap box went through
the assembly line empty.
Management tasked its engineers to solve the problem. Post-haste, the
engineers worked hard to devise an X-ray machine with high-resolution
monitors manned by two people to watch all the soap boxes that passed
through the line to make sure they were not empty. No doubt, they
worked hard and they worked fast.
But a rank-and-file employee that was posed the same problem came out
with another solution. He bought a strong industrial electric fan and
pointed it at the assembly line. He switched the fan on, and as each
soap box passed the fan, it simply blew the empty boxes out of the
line.
Clearly, the engineers worked hard, but the rank-and-file employee
worked smart. So what's better than merely working hard? It's working
smart.
Having said that, it is still important to work hard. If you could
combine both working hard and working smart, you would possess a
major factor toward success.
Better than dreaming big I will bet my next month's salary that many
have encouraged you to dream big. Maybe even to reach for the stars
and aim high.
I sure heard that about a million times right before I graduated from
this university. So I did. I did dream big. I did aim high. I did
reach for the stars. No doubt, it works. In fact, the saying is
true: "If you aim for nothing, that's exactly what you'll hit:
nothing."
But there's something better than dreaming big. Believe me, I got
shocked myself. And I learned it from the biggest dreamer of all
time, Walt Disney.
When it comes to dreaming big, Walt is the man. No bigger dreams were
fulfilled than his. Every leadership book describes him as the
ultimate dreamer. In fact, the principle of dreaming and achieving is
the core message of the Disney hit song, "When You Wish Upon a Star".
"When you wish upon a star, makes no difference who you are; anything
your heart desires will come to you. If your heart is in your dream,
no request is too extreme. When you wish upon a star, as dreamers
do," as Jiminy Cricket sang.
But is that what he preached in the Disney company? Dream?
Imagineering
Well, not! exactly. Kinda, but not quite. The problem with dreaming
is if that's all you do, you'll really get nowhere. In fact, you may
just fall asleep and never wake up.
The secret to Disney's success is not just dreaming, it's
IMAGINEERING.
You won't find this word in a dictionary. It's purely a Disney word.
Those who engage in imagineering are called imagineers. The word
combines the words "imagination" and "engineering."
In the book "Imagineers," Disney's CEO, Michael Eisner, claims
that "imagineers turn impossible dreams into real magic."
Walt Disney explained there is really no secret to their approach.
They just keep moving forward-opening new doors and doing new things,
because they are curious. And it is this curiosity that leads them
down new paths. They always dream, explore and experiment. In short,
imagineering is the blending of creative imagination and technical
know-how.
Eisner expounds on this thought by saying that "Not only are
imagineers curious, they are courageous, outrageous, and their
creativity is contagious."
The big difference with imagineers is that they dream and then they
DO! So don't just be a dreamer, be an imagineer.
You must have all been given a lecture at one time or another about
the importance of having a vision. Even leadership expert John
Maxwell says that an indispensable quality of a leader is to have a
vision. The Bible also makes it very clear that "Without vision,
people perish." So no doubt about it, having a vision is important to
success.
But surprise! There's something more potent than a vision. It's a
CAUSE. If all you're doing is trying to reach your vision and you're
pitted against someone fighting for a cause, chances are you'll lose.
The Vietnam War is a classic example. Literally with sticks and
stones, the Viet Cong beat the heavily armed US Army to surrender,
primarily because the US had a vision to win the war, but the
Vietnamese were fighting for a cause.
In the realm of business, many leaders have visions of making their
company No. 1, or grabbing market share, or forever increasing
profits.
Nothing really wrong with that vision, but take the example of Sony
founder Akio Morita. He did not just have a vision to build the
biggest electronics company in the world. In his biography, "Made in
Japan," he reveals that the real reason he set up Sony was to help
rebuild his country, which had just been battered by war. He had a
cause he was fighting for. His vision to be an electronics giant was
secondary.
What's the difference between a vision and a cause? Here's what sets
them apart...
No one is willing to die for a vision. People will die for a cause.
You posses a vision. A cause possesses you. A vision lies in your
hands. A cause lies in your heart. A vision involves sacrifice. A
cause involves the ultimate sacrifice.
Just a word of caution. You must have the right vision, and you must
be fighting for the right cause. In the end, right will always win
out.
It may take time, and it may take long. But if you have the right
vision and are fighting for the right cause, you will prevail. If
not, no matter how sincere you are, if you are not fighting for what
is right, you will ultimately fail.
Two final quotes
Allow me to end with two quotes that I have lived by ever since I
stepped out of UP.
The first comes from the Bible, which says, "To whom much is given,
much is required."
Having been given the opportunity to study in UP, no doubt, much has
been given to you in terms of an excellent education. Don't forget
that in return, much is now required of you to use that education not
just for yourself, but for others.
And as you move up and start reaching the pinnacle of success, even
more will be required of you to look at the wel! fare of others, of
society and of the country.
Though I have often dreamed of addressing any graduating class of UP
Diliman, I never really thought it would happen. This brings me to
the second quote I have held close to my heart as I traverse the
destiny God has laid out for me.
"There is no destination beyond reach of one who walks with God." My
standing in front of you today, as the youngest commencement speaker
of this esteemed university in 92 years, is proof of how true that
quote is.
A final review:
* What's better than focusing on the negative? Focus on the positive.
* What's better than working hard? It's working smart.
* What's better than dreaming? Imagineering.
* What's better than doing something for yourself? Doing something
for your country.
* What's better than a vision? A cause.
* What's better than a long speech? Definitely, a short one.
Thank you and congratulations, UP Diliman graduating class of 2003.

effort. As the Japanese say, "There's always a better way."
One of the most memorable case studies I came across with as I
studied Japanese management at Sophia University in Tokyo was the
case of the empty soap box, which happened in one of Japan's biggest
cosmetics companies.
The company received a complaint that a consumer had bought a box of
soap that was empty. It immediately isolated the problem to the
assembly line, which transported all the packaged boxes of soap to
the delivery department. For some reason, one soap box went through
the assembly line empty.
Management tasked its engineers to solve the problem. Post-haste, the
engineers worked hard to devise an X-ray machine with high-resolution
monitors manned by two people to watch all the soap boxes that passed
through the line to make sure they were not empty. No doubt, they
worked hard and they worked fast.
But a rank-and-file employee that was posed the same problem came out
with another solution. He bought a strong industrial electric fan and
pointed it at the assembly line. He switched the fan on, and as each
soap box passed the fan, it simply blew the empty boxes out of the
line.
Clearly, the engineers worked hard, but the rank-and-file employee
worked smart. So what's better than merely working hard? It's working
smart.
Having said that, it is still important to work hard. If you could
combine both working hard and working smart, you would possess a
major factor toward success.
Better than dreaming big I will bet my next month's salary that many
have encouraged you to dream big. Maybe even to reach for the stars
and aim high.
I sure heard that about a million times right before I graduated from
this university. So I did. I did dream big. I did aim high. I did
reach for the stars. No doubt, it works. In fact, the saying is
true: "If you aim for nothing, that's exactly what you'll hit:
nothing."
But there's something better than dreaming big. Believe me, I got
shocked myself. And I learned it from the biggest dreamer of all
time, Walt Disney.
When it comes to dreaming big, Walt is the man. No bigger dreams were
fulfilled than his. Every leadership book describes him as the
ultimate dreamer. In fact, the principle of dreaming and achieving is
the core message of the Disney hit song, "When You Wish Upon a Star".
"When you wish upon a star, makes no difference who you are; anything
your heart desires will come to you. If your heart is in your dream,
no request is too extreme. When you wish upon a star, as dreamers
do," as Jiminy Cricket sang.
But is that what he preached in the Disney company? Dream?
Imagineering
Well, not! exactly. Kinda, but not quite. The problem with dreaming
is if that's all you do, you'll really get nowhere. In fact, you may
just fall asleep and never wake up.
The secret to Disney's success is not just dreaming, it's
IMAGINEERING.
You won't find this word in a dictionary. It's purely a Disney word.
Those who engage in imagineering are called imagineers. The word
combines the words "imagination" and "engineering."
In the book "Imagineers," Disney's CEO, Michael Eisner, claims
that "imagineers turn impossible dreams into real magic."
Walt Disney explained there is really no secret to their approach.
They just keep moving forward-opening new doors and doing new things,
because they are curious. And it is this curiosity that leads them
down new paths. They always dream, explore and experiment. In short,
imagineering is the blending of creative imagination and technical
know-how.
Eisner expounds on this thought by saying that "Not only are
imagineers curious, they are courageous, outrageous, and their
creativity is contagious."
The big difference with imagineers is that they dream and then they
DO! So don't just be a dreamer, be an imagineer.
You must have all been given a lecture at one time or another about
the importance of having a vision. Even leadership expert John
Maxwell says that an indispensable quality of a leader is to have a
vision. The Bible also makes it very clear that "Without vision,
people perish." So no doubt about it, having a vision is important to
success.
But surprise! There's something more potent than a vision. It's a
CAUSE. If all you're doing is trying to reach your vision and you're
pitted against someone fighting for a cause, chances are you'll lose.
The Vietnam War is a classic example. Literally with sticks and
stones, the Viet Cong beat the heavily armed US Army to surrender,
primarily because the US had a vision to win the war, but the
Vietnamese were fighting for a cause.
In the realm of business, many leaders have visions of making their
company No. 1, or grabbing market share, or forever increasing
profits.
Nothing really wrong with that vision, but take the example of Sony
founder Akio Morita. He did not just have a vision to build the
biggest electronics company in the world. In his biography, "Made in
Japan," he reveals that the real reason he set up Sony was to help
rebuild his country, which had just been battered by war. He had a
cause he was fighting for. His vision to be an electronics giant was
secondary.
What's the difference between a vision and a cause? Here's what sets
them apart...
No one is willing to die for a vision. People will die for a cause.
You posses a vision. A cause possesses you. A vision lies in your
hands. A cause lies in your heart. A vision involves sacrifice. A
cause involves the ultimate sacrifice.
Just a word of caution. You must have the right vision, and you must
be fighting for the right cause. In the end, right will always win
out.
It may take time, and it may take long. But if you have the right
vision and are fighting for the right cause, you will prevail. If
not, no matter how sincere you are, if you are not fighting for what
is right, you will ultimately fail.
Two final quotes
Allow me to end with two quotes that I have lived by ever since I
stepped out of UP.
The first comes from the Bible, which says, "To whom much is given,
much is required."
Having been given the opportunity to study in UP, no doubt, much has
been given to you in terms of an excellent education. Don't forget
that in return, much is now required of you to use that education not
just for yourself, but for others.
And as you move up and start reaching the pinnacle of success, even
more will be required of you to look at the wel! fare of others, of
society and of the country.
Though I have often dreamed of addressing any graduating class of UP
Diliman, I never really thought it would happen. This brings me to
the second quote I have held close to my heart as I traverse the
destiny God has laid out for me.
"There is no destination beyond reach of one who walks with God." My
standing in front of you today, as the youngest commencement speaker
of this esteemed university in 92 years, is proof of how true that
quote is.
A final review:
* What's better than focusing on the negative? Focus on the positive.
* What's better than working hard? It's working smart.
* What's better than dreaming? Imagineering.
* What's better than doing something for yourself? Doing something
for your country.
* What's better than a vision? A cause.
* What's better than a long speech? Definitely, a short one.
Thank you and congratulations, UP Diliman graduating class of 2003.
