ZOOM IN OR ZOOM OUT



ZOOM IN OR ZOOM OUT

By: Kate Richelaine Lamigo

 


Camera on. 

Focus.

Shutter.

 

Just like a camera, the way we see life depends on what angle we focus on our lenses. We are photographers of our life. We may be bombarded with different problems and trials but it's up to us if we zoom in or zoom out the negative sides. 

 

Zooming in. 

 

If we are so much focused on what is lacking and what is wrong, we'll never know what are the things that may help us to continue and still hope. We'll never know the things God gave for us freely. We'll never know the best things because we are so focused on worst things. 

 

Try to zoom out. See the whole beauty of your subject. See everything you may capture on your camera lenses. 

 

Just like in life. 

 

If you are a student, instead of complaining about your requirements, why wouldn't you use your time well? Plan with action. Making every task with accuracy is the goal. Be calm and never cram. Every thing will fall into their right places if you could be able to manage everything without panicking. 

 

In business, set your goal first. Consider everything that affects your firm and strategize. There is no such thing as overnight success. Surely, it has flaws and strengths. Work on it. Acknowledge your Corporate Social Responsibility as business enterprise. Capitalism will not only be the center of your lenses but also humanity. 

 

As public servants, always make the best of what you can give for the people. Whether you do good or bad, people will still say something negative about you but still, do good. The most important is that you've done everything in serving the people who need you the most. 

 

Zoom in or zoom out.

Here is to Those Who Think They Are Just Mediocre

  Here is to Those Who Think They Are Just Mediocre By Gabrielle A. Palma Just average . Terms that are usually coined with our names. Not actually digging deeper to the struggles and successes beyond the hands that overwork, mind that overthinks and heart that over-understands. Surviving in a setting where everyone is fed up with such high expectations. People often perceive any work should come out best, if not, better. We always tend to unconsciously neglect what is just good. Because honestly, sometimes it gets tiring to overachieve when you know for a fact that it is not always a matter of exceeding something but just being enough.  To those who think they are mediocre, you are not. You are just waiting for the moment—your right time, your right place, and your right path. Sometimes, the booze and galore in every drink just do not make sense and make the situation even more chaotic. It is okay to just pour a little bit and then just fill it again when empty.  To thos...

Forgotten Vows of the Carabaos

Forgotten Vows of the Carabaos By: Gabrielle A. Palma   Stinking smell that lingers in the nose as the tears are dripping rapidly from the eyes. The heart is slowly shattering as the feet unhurriedly walk towards the awful corner. In her arms, there lies an existence—a wonderful one. Yet vanishes and expires as she rests it on the surface. Drifted away and suddenly, “Ay! Tae ng kalabaw.” Stepped on the disgusting thing coated with nasty guilt. Beside, is a child—abandoned and forgotten.  Living in a twisted system ruled by various oppressors, life of the poor in the Philippines, is indeed a deprived one. Leaving every decision and fate with no choice, but to pull everything about them just to survive even if it means scratching a part of their dignity and principle.  This is where the circumstance of child abandonment enters the discourse lay upon the table. As the pressing issues continue to surge such as poverty that leads to a financial problem, broken marriage, and te...

WHO IS THE REAL WINNER IN LIFE?

WHO IS THE REAL WINNER IN LIFE? By: Wei Won People may laugh at you along the way, People may refuse to help you because they believe that you cannot return the help they’ll give, People may humiliate you for being nobody, People may treat you like you did wrong to them, People may pull you down, You may feel drowning in a part of a sea where no one else is able to help you, Your relatives may don’t consider you as their relative,  Your friends might lose their interest in you, You may lose your loved one, You may feel despondent, You may engulf by darkness, You may want to end your life,  You may want to give up, But before you do that, you need to read this! Dark moments in life are inevitable and that’s normal - we all go through that way. You are not alone in this battle, again, you are not alone. We all struggle and suffer from the pain caused by the toxic people in our environment. Never punish yourself just because people are making you feel that you’ve done wrong to th...
