Can you remember na may subject tayo sa elementary called “Good Moral Character and Right Conduct”? Naalala ko pa kung paano tayo tinuturuan na maging magalang sa mga matatanda. Di ko nga makalimutan na tinuruan ako ng aking nanay na tawagin ang lahat ng nakakatanda sa akin ng uncle or auntie. Tinuruan din tayo na huwag mag uwi ng mga gamit na hindi atin o huwag mag nakaw, na huwag magsinungaling at manlamang ng kapwa.
Unfortunately, mas marami na ngayon ang mga nagsisinungaling, nagiging bastos at walang pag galang sa kapwa at matatanda.
Siguro ito na ang nawawala sa ating kultura bilang mga Pilipino.
For us to have good character, allow me to share with you some practical and helpful tips that you can do:
SURROUND YOURSELF WITH PEOPLE WHO HAVE GOOD CHARACTER
Sikapin natin na ang mga taong nakapaligid sa atin ay mga taong may mabuting character. Aminin natin, minsan talaga, tayo ang nahahawaan at hindi tayo ang nanghahawa. Kaya naman dapat lang na piliin natin ang mga taong may impluwensya sa ating pagkatao. Ika nga, tell me who your friends are and I will tell you who you are.
DO NOT ENTERTAIN NEGATIVE IDEAS
Sa panahon ngayon, napakadaling bumigay sa mga negative na ideas. Instead of working hard for success, some people settle for the short-cut.of things. Instead na maging tapat, nandaraya na lang; instead na magsabi ng totoo, magsisinungaling na lang; instead na tumulong sa kapwa ay nanlalamang sa iba.
MEDITATE ON GOD’S WORD
The best character book that you can read is the Bible, which is the Word of God.
Everything we need to know is in the Bible. If we need help on how to maintain having good character, we can find it in the Bible. Sabi nga sa Psalm 119:11, “I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.”
THINK. REFLECT. APPLY.
