The three questions were:
When is the best time to do things?
Who is the most important one?
What is the right thing to do?
“Remember then that there is only one important time, and that time is now. The most important one is always the one you are with. And the most important thing is to do good for the one who is standing at your side. This is why we are here.”
― Jon J. Muth, The Three Questions
"I vow to live in the present and to refrain from looking back at the negativities for it is eating up my inner being. I will always look at the joy and comfort of the people around me such as my students and my closest friends including those I connect with through blogging. I will continue to do good, to extend my support, and pray for those who needed them most."
- Jon Yu, reflecting on The Three Questions
I gotta get myself a copy of that book soon :) Those three questions has gotten me into thinking deeper on how I should go about with my current life.
ReplyDeleteHi Simon,
ReplyDeleteWe all have questions in life and these are probably the best to ask and to answer. Good luck to your search as life is filled with obstacles but with open doors.
Magandang Tanghali sir Jonathan :)
ReplyDeleteWell, I haven't read this book of Leo Tolstoy yet. Judging on your mini review, I believe it's a good one!
Sa pagkakaintindi ko dun sa mahiwagang Three Questions is...
Kung ano ang pwedeng gawin ngayon ay huwag ng ipagpabukas pa. Time is Gold and it's slowly slipping away like a grains of sand. Mabilis na lumilipas ang oras, di mo namamalayan, your time is already up before you even make your move.
Huwag mo na rin hanapin kung sino ang wala. Ang mahalaga ay kung sino ang nanjan sa tabi mo at nagbibigay importansya para sa iyo. Sa kanya mo na lang ituon ang iyong atensyon, kesa naman sa taong pilit mong hinahabol ngunit di ka man lng nilingon kahit minsan.
Have a good day!
One thing that I notice about you Jon is your ability to interpret thing on what you saw and read... galing :D
ReplyDeleteMagandang tanghali rin sa iyo fiel. Tama at napapanahon din ang mensahe nito. Yung last paragraph mo eh pahabol sa huli mong post. Gustong gusto ko ito eh mahilig pa naman akong bumalik sa nakaraan kaya dapat na itong tapusin. I thank God for your wisdom.
ReplyDeleteHello Rix,
ReplyDeleteMagisa kasi ako sa buhay kaya puro reflections ang ginagawa ko. Pag naghahalaman, nagbabasa, nagsasalita, nagtuturo at kahit na namamasyal, hinahanapan ko talaga ng kahalagahan ang lahat. Kaya nga kitang gawan ng isang post based on your comments, ha,ha,ha.
Cher Jo, ampunin mo na ko! hahaha... i love love love love to see your collections.. hehehe
ReplyDeleteNung isang araw pauwi ako, nagrereflect din ako sa buhay ko... lels. Tungkol naman dun sa Stones and pebbles and Sand as to which should be put first in a bottle, talking about priorities in life din...
Hahanap ako ng librong to, diba sya rin ang author ng anna karenina? pero di ko pa nababasa.. ;/
Asking this three question I feel I will have a good start of the week. have a nice week ahead of you too! And no matter what, I can always be a support you can count on too. Im just an fb away :D
natawa ako sa last message ko dami gremer ko lolz. Ako kasi sa sobrang naooverwhelm ko sa isang bagay ang nangyayari eh nakakaligtaan ko mag reflect. kapag tahimik dun lang ako nakakapagreflect.
ReplyDeleteHi cher,
ReplyDeleteKuhaan ko ba ng pics mga books ko. Hayaan mo pag yumaman ako mag donate ako for your teaching.
Parang yung mayonnaise story yung reflection mo. Dahil sa line ng work mo darami pa yang mga reflections. One day you will feel ayaw mo na but the next day sugod pa rin sa giyera.
I love this comment a lot and thanks for the assurance of support. Have a great week.
Hi Rix,
ReplyDeleteHindi rin naman dapat lahat iniisip mababaliw tayo niyan. Mag praktis na nga akong humitit ng katol para lagi akong may selfie pic na smiling lol!
Interesting questions indeed!..
ReplyDeleteMagandang i-reflect sa buhay although struggle din sa akin minsan lalo na't maraming dumarating na concern. Sabagay life is ever changing kaya magbago man ang season (at mga gawain), nararapat lamang na pagtuunan ang mga katanungang iyan!
Tama ka diyan. The questions are just guides and it is good to stop for awhile and look at things. Just like your postings, great sources if looking at life and what we want to accomplish.
ReplyDeleteI'll try to answer them:
ReplyDeleteWhen is the best time to do things?
- When your mind is clear and your heart is light.
Who is the most important one?
- No one is the most important; we are all equals, regardless of what we are.
What is the right thing to do?
- The one which would give you genuine happiness.
Hello Geosef,
ReplyDeleteSorry, I deleted your post since I was in a moving vehicle when I tried publishing it then it went to delete. I typed them in instead.
Great answers and applicable to a lot of things in life. I will try to answer using these questions about your postings on your three friends.
nyahaha kanino ka naman na inspire mag hithit ng katol? lolz...
ReplyDeleteKanino pa nga ba? Kailangan pa bang i-explain yan? lol! @ Rix
ReplyDeleteI learned something today ha. I think it's for the best. Past is past. Live the present para mas happy ang future.
ReplyDeletewow, very well said and it's inspiring.. while reading this post naisip ko tama, dapat nga hindi mo pa isipin pa ang mga maraming pagkakamali mo o ng ibang tao sayo para patuloy kang magenjoy sa buhay na meron ka ngayon. Now is the time to stop blaming your past.. tama.. tama..
ReplyDeleteHello June,
ReplyDeletePoint taken and I always live in the past. Hindi na siya maibabalik that's why I always end up sad. I am looking at the now so I can see the future.
Hi Ms. Leeh,
ReplyDeleteTama nga, dahil hindi ako magiging masaya if I always blame myself for what others did or if I blame others for what they did to me. Time to move, time to accept and embrace the present and future.
Such a great thoughts to ponder,
ReplyDeletea book that is indeed worthy to be read!
Welcome MeCoy,
ReplyDeleteSurely worth of reflection!
Three questions, When, Who and What! Ang hirap sagutin nyan... specially that I have my own question about priorities right now about work... hirap! #justsaying
ReplyDeleteMahirap nga Mar. There are many aspects of life that needed questionings but the most difficulty is finding the answers. As they always say, follow your heart. I find making priorities difficult as well.
ReplyDeleteBefore I read the answers to the question, I wrote mine first:
ReplyDelete1. Best time to do things is when one is inspired.
2. God
3. In line with God's word.
But then I read the answers and found out that yes, that it make sense to me too. Time is gold so I too make my time worth every moment. Try to enjoy and be glad no matter what.
Hi Ms. Joy,
ReplyDeleteParang quiz, ha,ha,ha. A po ang score ninyo, A for God! What a great mantra, to live every moment and be glad.
Oooooh, I have to see ur collection! Self proclaimed bibliophile here
