Questions

I was having a conversation with my brother last night and I was telling him about my goal for this blog.. I told him that it would be great if only all Filipinos would learn to dream, and everyone would just cooperate to make this Nation better as a whole.. I told him that if everyone would just dream to achieve better, if everyone would just dream of being successful the Philippines can rise up...

My brother was just listening to me... But when he finally spoke he told me a few stuff about the dream being nice and all but he also asked me some of the toughest questions I would ever have to answer..

He asked, "So, how will you get the people to dream?" And so I started to tell him about if only they could see my life they would be inspired and then they would learn to dream... If I could just let the people know what I had to go through growing up and still being able to dream big dreams maybe they would be inspired... He was just looking at me, nodding his head..

And from out of nowhere I told him... Teaching a person to dream is like teaching a man to fish... The original phrase I quoted that from would say, "Don't give a person fish that he may live for the day, instead teach him to fish that he may have food for life.." Then he asked me, "How would you teach a man to fish? If you could find the answer to that, you would be able to change a life, and if you change a life, you can change the world..."

I was silenced! I was dumbstruck! I was in shock! I just didn't have the answer to it...

And so I spent the whole night and today thinking of it until it finally dawned on me that you just can't change everyone... But wait! Im not saying that my dream is hopeless... The answer to it just even brings my dream closer to reality! The answer to it is really long and so I have to write it in different posts but its going to be a 5 post series entitled, "Answers!"
