Unbridled criticism of govt officials

Be better than before, than yesterday...

This post has seen posts by a relative and former staff, criticizing and ridiculing some famous or high ranking govt officials.  As of now, they can freely do this as this is a free country.   And perhaps those high ranking officials will ignore their rantings now and dismiss their nega posts about them

How they talk the personalities down is something I can not stomach.  

I rather improve myself than devote time on things I can not change.   What a waste of time and talent

But what if they are listed down and they take a revenge.  

This is one of the advice of Dale Carnegie not to condemn, criticize, or complain.

What comes, comes around and comes around hard.  Karma is real.    For every action there is an equal opposite reaction.      Someone should remind or tell them

Clarity of purpose - begin with the end in mind

Be better than before, than yesterday...

In my readings and discussion with JP last Sunday, we should be clear at the start on why you need to make money.  Without money, you have nothing to help the world become a better world.  

Thus if you ever want to be wealthy, you have to partake or use the money for the right purpose ie make the world a better place.

This has to come first rather than making money first and then donating what is excess Always the first fruit.

Often said Filipinos are trained to be employees to be job hunters rather than entrepreneurs

I just watched a video decrying the fact that Chinese Bombay, Japanese, Koreans, come over to the Philippines to do business,  because they say there is a lot of money to be made in the Philippines.  And we Filipinos leave the country to what?   Work abroad as DH and as employees.  It may be in the mindset.   Chinese value being a business owner, the head of a lion rather than a hair of a dragon or elephant.

""Anak, mag aral ka para maging negosyante" Chinese"

"Anak mag aral ka para pagdating ng panahon, may maganda kang trabaho.   Fil"

Sadly again for a time, gusto ng nanay makapag Japan mga anak na babae.  (While during the Japanese occupation, parents advice their daughters to avoid Japanese because they may be assaulted)

A debate: being free and kind, or demanding respect and importance

Be better than before, than yesterday...

There are two conflicting thoughts:    one is to be kind and helpful - tell to the world.   And this post would like to live by that paradigm.  All that was given to you free shall be re given to others free .  A certain religous and ethnic group likes to live by this and are truly blessed.

However there is another point of view the Machiavellian point of view that others must give respect and honor to your unique talents and leadership.  

Which is better?

For the first one, I could not get any consultancy because I give the secret to all those who ask.  And my distinct advantage over others do not get more noticed.  Others take advantage of my generosity.  Even our business partners.   They pick my brains and then proceed to do it on their own.  No respect. No NDA

I would like to tell of a story of a business person who got the best deal out of me/us: (and  abused us)

     1.  Sued us  constantly

     2.  Made it hard to give us ROW.  It had been pending for 20 years +

     3.  Having an appointment with her takes ages and is extremely difficult

However a member of the family got critically ill and has 7 number bill at the hospital and would want me to give her aid.

Should we or not.   Or the person reaps what she has sowed
