LESSON 2 FOR YOUR “I” ONLY “If you start with whatever,you might end up wherever!” “What do you want to be?” Many kids have already answer to this question though they have not given it much thought. A number of high schoolers respond with “I still don‟t know... Whatever... It‟s still far off!” Some college students just reply, “To be successful.” (Successful in what?) Certain yuppies retort: “Come what may... “These people will surely end up somewhere. But who would want to end up just “somewhere”? Some of those who have found themselves there now just find solace in the axiom: “Wherever you are, you‟re there!” So where does the problem lie? It seems that, for some, as their future gets closer, the less time they think about it. And the future is always much nearer than one thinks!

LESSON 3 PRIVATE “I”

“You do not expose a gold mine by sitting on it.” An old man engages some teenagers in a conversation where he relates a happening. Have you ever attended a gathering in which, at one point, the emcee announces that under YOUNG JI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL / COLLEGE

your chair is an envelope containing a prize or a gift that you will be glad to receive? Many children readily spring from their seats, crouch and peek under their chairs. Some children need persuading from their chairs. Some children need persuading from their parents. Some teenagers do not persuading. Others hesitate. Other teenagers dismiss it as kid stuff. They would rather go for the regular fare. Some first feel their surroundings. They feel shy or fear of embarrassment if they do not get anything under their chair. While “feeling their way through,” some smart kids come to peep under people‟s chairs. A teenager blurts out, “There are more there!” Another utters, “Don‟t you have a chair of your own?” One exclaims, “Go some place else!” One youth mutters, “I‟ll wait for the excitement to die down before I check under my chair.” Meanwhile people left and right keep discovering cash, books etc.! And the anticipation is killing the poor guy. He waits and forgets about it until he gets home - where he remembers, rather regretfully, what he just could have at least known in the first place. “Maybe the gift was small, not for me. Somebody else might have greater use for it...” he says. After recounting this anecdote to the youths, he told the old man stands up, still muttering, “Had I only checked it out...” Which kind of teenager are you.

Answer the following. Choose the right attitude. 1.

The teacher asks the class to read, summarize a literary work and write a reflection paper on it. You notice that prior to this, the assignments started with short stories, then poems, then a novelette. Now comes a novel. This activity is already becoming irritating. A. B. C.

Perhaps the teacher has no time to read these literary works on his/her own. That is why it assigned at the students‟ expense. Maybe the librarian has complained that fewer and fewer students visit the library.The librarian‟s job is already at stake. These literary works open me to the vicarious experience of different “worlds” of culture, writing styles and techniques, vocabulary, wisdom or human errors and successes, etc. Actually, they are the “advanced courses” in two of the three R‟s (reading, „riting and „rthmetic) very essential tools in human endeavors.

You feel that some class and schoolwide activities are boring. They seem to be just a waste of your time.

YOUNG JI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL / COLLEGE

A. B.

C. 3.

The teachers and other school authorities gave us anything that comes to their minds. Perhaps the objectives of these activities are not made obvious to me as a matter of teaching method, such as to tickle my curiosity. I just need to be actively aware that I am being exposed to learning situations. The student‟s active participation hastens learning. Why do they not just tell me what to learn? Then we can go all home!

You intend to eat in a new fast-food joint. Once inside the place, you grumble how tasteless its ads are, how customer-unfriendly the arrangement of facilities is, how inefficient the style of service is, and so on. What can you instead of grumble? A. B. C.

Prevent the restaurant from further operation by telling other people not to patronize it. I shall make sardonic remarks to the waiters and guards. This is an opportunity for me to be creative and come up with better ideas to improve the different aspects of the restaurant. I can then suggest my ideas to the manager.

“I” SIGHT TO INSIGHT To achieve success, one must remember: “Wanting something is nothing but doing something is gaining.”

- Brian F. Del Rosario

LESSON 4 “I” + DEAL = IDEAL “Face a problem if you must but prevent an appointment with it in the first place, if you will.” Have you ever heard this story? There was this person who, while window-shopping, saw beautiful flowers at a shop. She bought a spray of them for no immediate reason. When she got home, there was no vase to put them in. So back to the shopping mall she wen. Once home she noticed there was no vase to put them in. So back to the shopping mall she went. Once home, she noticed there was no doily on which to place the vase. This spelt another trip to the mall. But the doily did not match the table she had at home. So a new table that would look good on a new rug was ordered. Financial resources were nearing depletion bu this time. But the curtains so new windows had to be installed. The person pawned some jewelry YOUNG JI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL / COLLEGE

to finance the windows, and the new flooring to go with them... Until finally, the whole house had to change-change hands from that person to a new owner to pay foe the debts incurred. The story may seem ridiculous but it shows how one concern can grow and branch into bigger, graver ones. Nothing is wrong with buying flowers. But life is not a bed of roses. People can sometimes made odd choices and responses in dealing with real-life situations to the extent that the results can go the way of the anecdote unless these situations are seen from the right perspective and are nipped in the bud.

LESSON 5 GET MORE MILEAGE TO THE NEW “I” - WAY “When you finally decide to decide and act on a problem, you will be amazed how many problems your decision will solve!” YOUNG JI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL / COLLEGE

Do you have problems? Of course, who really does not? Everyone has problems. But do your problems keep recurring? Do you have problems that you barely overcame last year and the year before that? For a student like you, there are problems that have a way of popping up yearly. That is why a student‟s New year‟s resolution are almost the same year after year, and the list seems get longer every year! These Resolutions seem to be ineffective. In fact, you might have just remembered some of them because the word solutions is mentioned here. That means they have been forgotten for a whole year! Now that you are already in a higher-year level, you have again new problems on top of recurring ones - no wonder your resolutions list gets longer.

Recall yourself brushing your teeth that early stage. You were trying to roll your toothbrush in every way inside your mouth. Try to relive and feel the experience in your hand. Sometimes you gagged when you had unintentionally swallowed small amount of toothpaste. Rinsing after brushing was not thoroughly then. Gargling was still a difficult feat.

LESSON 1 T.I.M.E (TRULY, “I” MEAN EARLY) “Time is of the essence. No, make that LIFE is of the essence.” “I’ OPENER If you spend eight hours for sleeping and right hours for honest work and you have a lot of spare time, you are in luck. The questions are these: What do you do during your spare time? How are you doing with your grade? If you have some spare time and you are not doing well with your grades, you might be using your spare time in nonproductive activities. You need more time for school work. Do not be troubled; you have the time! If, on the other hand, you are spending more than twenty hours a day, you are in the deepest of trouble! You should check again the time you allot for your major activities. You might be using more than enough time on any of those activities (grooming, perhaps?). It is good if you are using the time on school activities. YOUNG JI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL / COLLEGE

“My only problem is time!” is a usual expression of people who need “more” time. Time goes hand in hand with life and if time is problematic for some, then, their whole life must be a mess. If time constitutes a problem, what do people expect it to do? Go away? If time stresses them, would these people rather not have any accompanies life, and if time leaves, these people would be dead. It is paradoxical that people who have problems with time do not want to part with life. Perhaps these people mean that their problem actually is the lack of time. The trouble is that the same people who consider time a problem already have time but they do not even notice or give it due attention. Some who do notice that they have time on their hands are having trouble in using it. People say that time moves very slowly or that time goes too fast. Actually, the pace of time has been regular and constant since time immemorial. We human beings are the ones who are slow or fast. Time does not idle; people do. People are themselves the problem, not time. Time is not to blame. It is not doing anything wrong. And time does not go; people do. Time will still be around long after people are gone. Perhaps the roots of our problems with time are our attitudes toward time and our objects of focus. We usually look at time as something adjustable, therefore, controllable and manageable but it is not! If we focus our thoughts and efforts on adjusting it, we end up being controlled not by time but by circumstances. Then, we end up weary and frustrated. Shift then to a new focus and paradigm of thinking. We often hear the admonition “Do not waste time!” But since we cannot control time, we cannot waste time! We cannot even save it and spend it in the future. We have heard of the cliché “Life is too short.” Life is the one ticking. We grow old. And if we spend our lives on wasteful activities, then we waste our lives on activities that “eat up” time! We cannot be happy be happy to waste our short lives nor to expect others to waste their lives on us when we do not value time and life. Some of our activities have become habits with the passage of time. If these activities are “time eaters,” we might have developed bad habits or “vices.” “Time is a gift” is an oft-repeated statement. It is not even a “recyclable” gift. But it gives a human being an opportunity to gift other human beings through it.

What is the right attitude? 1. Your sibling (assume one if there is none) always searches every morning in the closet drawers for a handkerchief, towel, pair of socks, underwear, etc. Your sibling always gets rattled; you get irritated. Since you two go to the same school, you two are always tardy every morning. a) Arranging one‟s personal effects and preparing the night before those that are needed the following day save a lot of time and effort and prevent unnecessary agitation. Irritating others is avoided, too. b) It is the job and responsibility of my mother or the helper to prepare our things for our daily use. c) Arranging and preparing personal effects are menial work which my sibling and I are not fit to do. 2. I am usually late in arriving at school and at other functions because of the traffic. a) The traffic management authorities should be faulted not me. I do not have any control over the traffic. b) The school must change its policies on school schedule, tardiness and absences. Teachers should be more lenient. We all live in the same country, exposed to the same environment. c) I must wake up much earlier and leave the house much earlier to avoid traffic or any unforeseen circumstance. 3. I hear some people describe the misuse of time by other people as Filipino time. I want this thinking changed because I am a Filipino and I use time wisely. a) At my age, I cannot do anything about it. b) If I want a change to start, the change must start with me. c) If this thinking is what we Filipinos want, then I can already start to be always late! “I” SIGHT TO INSIGHT “This T.I.M.E. is my time!”

“Someone exhorted: Live simply that other may simply live.” There was this spouse who, upon looking through the window of his house, happened to notice the new electric fan inside the neighbor‟s house. “Dear,” he called out to his wife, “I think I want one of those electric fans.” “I‟ll arrange for that,” his wife responded. The next time he peeped, he motioned to his wife and said, “Look at our neighbor‟s new television; I think it‟s nice to have one.” “ But we have one!” his wife cut in. “But theirs is picture-in-picture-in-picture!” he reasoned. “I‟ll arrange for that,” the wife yielded. The next time he peeked, he saw the neighbor‟s new furniture. He again called his wife‟s attention to it. She said, “But we already have a set!” “That one‟s different,” he insisted. The wife did not argue anymore, saying “I‟ll arrange for that.” The following week, the husband looked through the window again and chanced upon some activity inside the neighbor‟s house that looked like a wake. He turned to his wife and as he was about to speak... “I‟ll arrange for that!” We do not intend to make fun of the departed nor of their bereaved loved ones. Surely you have seen how preposterous the preceding situation is. Yet, in real life, the earlier scenes are repeated in various ways, sometimes to the point of risking one‟s reputation, dignity or security just to accommodate one‟s uncontrolled wants. Meanwhile, others may be hurt in the process. The trouble starts when an individual is not even conscious of his/her uncontrolled wants and their effects on other human beings.

Examine my role and that of my parents in strengthening a trusting relationship; and Identify what will strengthen and what will weaken a parents- son/ daughter relationship.

In Your Mind’s ―I‖ It is Sunday evening. You are at your classmates house, rushing a term paper to be submitted first hour tomorrow. What brought about this situation? Your classmate is not allowed to go out of the house. Why? She got a call last Friday evening from a classmate friend about an invitation to a party that same evening. She mentioned her hesitation to go since a term paper was due Monday.‖But it’s just Friday!‖ her classmatefriend said. So she asked permission from her Dad. Her dad asked her if she had no assignment to work on and if there was no class the following day. The second question was easy to answer – no school the following day which was Saturday. The first question about the assignment was somewhat complicated. Because any answer wou the problems-- by ld invite more complications. If she said ―Yes, there is a term paper to make, it wold be useless to ask permission. If she said.‖None‖ her conscience would bother her classmatefriend who taught of a way to solver. So she mentioned this dilemma to her classmate- friendwho taught of a way to solve the problem--- by not considering the term paper as an assignment. It was the teacher anyway who called that thing term paper, not assignment. ―And Dad didn’t mention any term paper, she seconded. They then congratulated each other for that stroke of pure genius! The only hump to overcome was Mom. Dad did not forget to ask, ―‖ Did you already ask your Mom? With Mom it was already easy. Dad’s permission already tilted the balance in her favor. When Mom asked about a pending assignment, the answer came out rather easily. The only things Mom requested from her were to call her up as soon as she arrived at the party, to give her the phone number there, and to be at home by 1:00 a.m. She said yes—only to let Mom know that she heard her. In her mind, the first two requests were easy to accomplish. The third, she was not inclined to follow. She was thinking that once she was at the party, it was already easy to come up with partly true excuses. Then Mom gave her pocket money, just in case. A little later, she was picked up by her classmatefriend. By 12:30 a.m., her cell phone rang. She remembered she should have called up her mom. The call was from her mom. Her Mom suddenly woke up and remembered that she was supposed to receive a call. Mom’s voice was a combination of worry, anger and pleading. Mom asked why she did not call. ―I‖ forgot she responded somewhat curtly. Mom reminded her entreatingly to be home by one. She said yes again but she knew she could not be home in thirty minutes. She set her mind that one o’ clock was going- home time and not already- at- home time. YOUNG JI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL / COLLEGE

She could not understand the fuss over being home so early. That was the second time anyway she would be coming home late. Nothing wrong happened to her the first time. Why should it be different the second time? She was even better off because she did not smoke unlike others, and did not drink liquor except punch. Well, it was her parents’ problem. She did not ask to be born anyway. At this point, you remind your classmate about the term paper you two are to finish. OT is already 1:30 a. m.‖ you anxiously utter.
