Fortitude Of Filipinos

Have you ever asked yourself if you are strong enough to face your own problems? Then if you are, good to you. But did you know that Filipinos are also known to have the quality of fortitude? Why? Because first of all Filipinos are known to face problems with courage in life. They put all of their strength to overcome the challenges in their life. A good example for this quality is our parents. They work hard for the sake of their family and to earn for their children to study at the school. Even though they are busy working hard and most of it consume the time, they still have the moment with their children. Filipinos are also known to be brave and strong. I have read an article entitled “Filipinos are strong and brave" by Ben Emata from the website www.sunstar.com.ph. 

Incidents here in the Philippines doesn’t come in small matter. Example of this is the typhoon yolanda. Yolanda surely set fear to the residents of tacloban due to what it cause to them and how strong the wind and rain that happened in tacloban. But we overcome this fear because we remember the things that happened before yolanda occured. Past experiences makes us learn and take action to the future. We remember that over the past years, we have fought different challenges and threats to our life. We remember that in a year, not only 1 or 2 typhoons strikes a thunder to our country, but 15 or more. We remember that when calamaties and disasters came to us, it is times like war and corruptions that happened in our country. Courage is what makes us filipinos special in this world. Filipinos can stand with a smile in their hearts. Let's raise our courage to do what we must forever do and Let's have courage to be what we should always be.

Ambrose Redmoon has once said that "Courage is not the absence of fear; but rather, the judgment that something else is more important than fear."

This means that whatever challenges that we encounter in life, let that be our guide through light  to be strong and to face this problem. We know that we must face the present first before we face the future for we know that we can't face whatever will happen in our life if we don't experience the values that we encounter in life. 


"The brave may not live forever, but the cautious do not live at all. From now on you’ll be traveling the road between who you think you are and who you can be. The key is to allow yourself to make the journey." -Meg Cabot
