Tips on having a positive and good Materialistic and Spiritualistic Habits author: Aguado, Mark Lester S.

    We have been living in a world full of materialistic as a source of human nature pleasure. I cannot deny that having a materialistic possession is need to survive its natural to an individual to acquire or use any material thing and is a never-ending pleasure. We were bounded by our material needs because our body was also a material aspect of life. As people says everything that is too much is dangerous and unhealthy that why there is spiritual self that has a significant role in how we reflect on this we acquire and decision we made but having too much spiritual self can be also a harm, for example, you can be paranoid to do this because you know that it can cause a scene and bounded by virtue set by your religion or beliefs. So everything must be balanced I think it’s better if the spiritual self and material self should join the force as one to make every human being have a meaningful life. Once we were born our material needs and being introduced in our spirituality. There are some ways to balance our material and spiritual self.

For me, number one we should do is praying we should always confess our sins to our GOD and be thankful for what materialistic need we receive. It also leads us to use our material blessing wise.

             Second applying the idea of wants and needs restricting your material based on your needs and has empathy for other people that need this material. We shouldn’t buy a thing just to follow the trends and Bandwagoning. That we shouldn’t waste our time and effort into a useless thing. We must apply every time we buy the optimistic value of materials we acquire just question yourself if we really need a particular thing or if we use it’s once just to get sincerity from other people? Following the ideology of contentment being contented on what we receive, we do and recreating a simple way of life. It’s also a way to cherish the things we have, and the actions we have done in the sense of spirituality to achieved a healthy spiritual you don’t have to be like a saint. But to realize your faith in something strengthens your Intrapersonal skills and be reflective of what you have done every day. Next is always impart in mind that we should give or donate a portion of our blessing for the needy and less privileged humans as this act to purifies the true essence of being wealth because it’s a healthy activity in both material and spiritual matter. Start helping people with the ideology of Kagandang Loob towards on your Kapwa helping without getting anything in return or act selflessly.

Lastly, materialism and spirituality must always work together.  We should be reflective when we buy things or do a materialistic pleasure for our body's possession. Always think if it’s Necessary to buy or Worth to Buy? It is a waste of money? And does doing this promote Common good does this thing benefit everyone and having no expectations, having a positive attitude on releasing our negative thoughts and feelings. If we apply all the tips I introduced we can tract our peace and happiness in our lives as a material being and acquire spiritual growth as well.

      I have a lot of dreams and desires in the future because humans are naturally born to seek to have pleasure from things from time to time, in short, the very ambitious. When I was a kid my dream is to be a pilot and live a simple life because of becoming a pilot when I was young is simple to fly a big vehicle in the sky to different places but there as I grow I realize we can’t afford the tuition of becoming a pilot. Through the time as human change and develop their personalities are the same their dreams and goals in life may be some have remained, but a lot has changed.

While being a proactive student and join a club organization in our school which I good and excel especially an organization with a lot of outreach programs. I was intent while schooling to help people those in need by participating in Different Community outreach program Also by this time frame I want to be able to speak 5 different languages fluently even it is a local or international language and complete my self-identity. For the year of 2023- 2024 my Ultimate Goal is to graduate no matter what happens. These years are very crucial to a graduating “I promise that when these years come I really push myself to all the best I can to achieve my dream”. Graduating is just the beginning of adulthood life.

It is hard for me to guess about my personal future since I have not experienced and learned much in life. There so many paths I could take I don’t know which direction I will be heading tomorrow or if my mind will change the next day or the day after tomorrow. I only hope that I must make a wise decision without any regrets concern in my life. Because every choice may affect my future outcome in life. I am confident of having a better life in the years coming by. To conclude It’s a logic matter that I can’t predict what could happen in the future if it will bring a good fortune to me or not. But at least I have a plan that leads me on the right track. Hopefully everything I desiderate will be achieved successfully soon, but for now, I will focus on my self-improvement, working proactively so that all those ambitions became a complete reality.

Me versus Tarzan and Victor from the feral child of Aveyron

Have you felt the feeling of being unfortunate in life? Have you read the story of Tarzana and the boy of Aveyron? Once you’ve read or even watched their story I will surely assure that it will change your perspective definition of being unlucky in life. If I were going to relate the psychosocial development of Erik Erikson on how lucky I am compare to Tarzan and Victor, this how it Goes:

Trust vs. Mistrust (birth to 12 months)

It’s a nature to an infant to learn that adults can be trusted. I put my trust in my early childhood to my parents and people around me cause them to provide my basic needs for survival. As an infant being curious to everything and excited to learn a lot I always dependent on my caregiver which is always my loving mother. While Tarzan establish its trust to her acting Mother Ape as a caregiver sadly to said Victor of Aveyron doesn’t establish a trust to any person or animal instead to its environment since it does not mention in his story who care for him when he is infant. I think that how Victor of Aveyron develops its mistrust to humans. I gain hope to my mother, Tarzan gain hope to his acting mother ape and Victor didn’t gain hope since it doesn’t mention who taken care when he was an infant.

Autonomy vs. Shame (1- 3 years old)

               In the toddler age a child must learn on how the sensation of autonomy means early self freedom to act or function independently I think Tarzan and victor establish a lot more autonomy rather than me for either them survive in their “kinagisnang” environment, compare to me because in my toddler age I always in shame to act what I want to other people especially when my parents around I gain a virtue of doubting on what am doing, thinking that all of I’ve done in my toddler age would always wrong to the eyes of people around me and always consult my parents on what is the right to do correspond to my age.

Initiative vs. Guilt (3 – 6 years old)

               Once a child reaches the preschool age I become more capable of put initiative on activities and asserting control through social interaction to my childhood friends. This was I experienced to play what they called “Larong Pinoy” or “Larong Kalye”. I’ve learned to plan and achieve one goal which to play and win as far as I can while socializing with my childhood friends. Based on my perspective Tarzan and victor intuitive to do is for the goal of survival in an independent setting the environment which forest which learning adaptation rather than socializing yes Tarzan and Victor tried to socialize to other animals but then in their childhood mind they prioritize and plan more on how to get food and aim for survival rather than making friends with others. But in the end Victor failed to gain Socializing skills instead he develops fears from humans or the feeling of uncomfortable with people.

Industry vs, Inferiority (6- 12 years old)

This was the elementary age when I develop on how to compare my excellency in schoolwork’s, sports, social activities, and family life. This stage is where I always compare to my self to other and always dominant feeling of jealousy to my sister, friends, and School. This stage I learn that the world doesn’t revolve on me and establish the feeling of competition, so I worked hard to gain awards and Credentials to others. In the case of Victor and Tarzan they didn’t go to school but then I think in this age it burst a lot of their competitive skills. Tarzan felt a bit jealous rather than victor because victor dominant character is individualistic type and adaptive. As a result, theirs a big impact on adolescence and adulthood development.

Identity Vs. Role Confusion (ages 12- 18)

               This the stage is what am I facing right now where I remain confused on my real identity as a Pilipino and individual, also the right role I have done to help the society. As of now, I’m only aware that I must finish schooling to become the leader soon and maintaining of being a good citizen in the Society by abiding the laws established by our government. In instance for Tarzana and Victor, as far I can see they were bot confused on their identity if they could consider as a human like as and what they must do in the society to accept them since its, their first time exposed the rule of political society.

In conclusion in logically, I’m a lucky individual that I didn’t experience those cruel events in the life of an abandoned child because I have everything I need since from being infant until now example I have parents, Education, Friends and well develop intrapersonal skills that I need while the continuing fight for survival. I believe that they also lucky cause from those unpleasant situations they have faced in their young age they develop a strong physical and adaptive body which I don’t have in the first place however they lack on developing intrapersonal skills that must needed in life right now.

Me and Myself: Confusion of a Freshman

I realized something while riding a bus that a turning page occured in my life, being a college student is l very challenging and full of self-development because it helps to manage my time responsibly over a hectic schedule, since I need to travel about two hours to get home, it's hard for me to get much sleep and accomplish my homeworks for school and to develop myself,my intrapersonal skill especially I learned to prioritize the things that I must do than those are not important to do. Going to college is a decision that has no turning back, it is a stage in life where your future self and career will be determinedm.

Who am I? What could be my calling in life? That are some of the questions that comes to my mind before taking college exam. Now I decided to enter Philippine Normal University and be a teacher, but then there is a serious dilemma stucked and clashing in my mind that has not been answered until now, it is being undecided of the major I want to pursue. On what teaching major suits the best based on my abilities, talent and passion. The quote that suits my situation the best is the philosophy of Rene Descartes that “I Know that I don’t know.” It states that in my inner self there is something for me based on my knowledge and capability, but I don't know because I am confused in my environment. I really want to be a psychologist and pursue law in the future but there are rumors about the small chance I have to pass the exam for psych. I also want to take science major in biology but then I’m afraid cause there are more intelligent student who excel a lot in science. Lastly, I want to do Social Science major but then I don’t think if they can reconsider me. Therefore, I further conclude that every path I’ve decided to take all is hard there’s no easy way. It's how you manage and absorb things. I think that I must put more much effort and hard work to finish college without any regrets and I think I’m still on the feeling of adjustment and adaptation.

Create, Inspire and Change

Today we’ve done a bag raid with a chosen partner wherein the goal of the activity is to understand more about other people. In some reason we can know our friends by simply interacting to them but also, we can understand them through their material environment, it is an extension of who they are. We also tackled about Philippines as a collective country, compared to other country promoting individualism. We talk about positive and negative point of each ideology, but for me what ever your country ideology is we have the common ground of promoting common good for everybody. Our teacher leaves us a question to challenge us on what we want to create as response to the society issue problems?

I want to address about the concern of improving education in the Philippines. As of today many remote areas has not been given a proper educational service. They suffer a lot from lack of decent classroom, books, facilities, and school suppplies.

That many unable to reach area where many scholars didn’t want to study in school the reason is poverty and too far of the school from there home instead they decided to help their parents by doing a job with there young age.

Yesterday I saw a 10-year-old male while riding a bus and he sells crackers in the bus. I ask him Why he sell crackers at the young age? He replied that what is the sense of schooling if you are a poor and your parents don’t have the capability to support your financial needs as a child. So as the elder of the family I must help my parent as soon as possible through anything I can but if I were given a chance I would rather to go in school and reach my dream rather risking my life avoiding different vehicles everyday just for earning a small amount of pay he stated and quickly sneak out of the bus. At that night I realize how lucky I am for having tertiary education compare to those young’s who give up their primary education so easily that child always think about the collective effect to his family while being individualistic idea that he must make his life on her own. So as a teacher in the future I yearn to import in every young Pilipino student that they must give much significant by having the right to be an educated person. If the issue of education is being resolve in the Philippine society maybe, we can be a successful country soon cause once and for all education is the basic building block in a strong society. Every successful person begins in education if we can create a globally competitive and excellent Pilipino citizen using our education. Lastly, I want to improve the transportation in our country especially in metro manila. I know the feeling of wasting your productive time for the traffic. Its also show in many research that traffic is one of the reason on why we lost a lot of money and productivity. That we must address urgently the concern of traffic in the Philippines by creating effective law that must be implemented intensively and developing public transportation for all. In conclusion we must address the problem in our society together not only by government who always work but with the cooperation of the Pilipino citizen in participating in the law to eradicate those societal problems. We always promote Bayanihan in our mind to promote Common Good and ensure none any Pilipino left behind and through our freedom of speech as citizens we must recommend solution and always be discipline.
