What Matters Most

By Irene Nacionales-Reding

People tend to overlook many things in life. And it's sad that even the most precious ones, they seem to neglect and doesn't even care. There are those whom you might think are INTELLIGENT. Who claimed they got DEEP THOUGHTS. But what's amazing with deep thoughts when their hearts are shallow? Isn't it that we saw these people who are so-called "intelligents" but when it comes to practical living, they were nothing but DUMB? They may speak fancy words...but is that what matters?  So,what's matters most? In my opinion, it is what's inside the heart of each one. Appreciation to those who sees inside of you, is a gift you can't buy. It's PRICELESS. See things in a beautiful way. Even if all around you are ugly. Look for the positive side of everything. Say the good things you feel about a person, a loved one...before it's too late. Before the day comes that he or she can hear no more. Because if one died, even if you put him in an expensive coffin, and give her beautiful flowers, and a lavish funeral,she'll no longer feel that.  So DO IT NOW. To your loved ones, to your parents, to every person whom you thought accepts you and appreciate you for who you are..for what you are. Who's with you through thick and thin. Who lifts you up in your every downfall and never gets tired of holding your hands and reaching your arms whenever you feel restless. Be UNSELFISH even once in your life....
