I am surprised with the part the Pope was prompted with the question about technology by the Leandro Santos II., UST Law student, at the Youth Encounter with POPE FRANCIS.

------------------


The Pope reply with THREE LANGUAGE -- TO THINK, TO FEEL, and TO DO. Can you repeat this? To think, to feel, and to do. And all that, harmoniously.

He also posed the questions, the world of information. Today, with so many means of communications, we are overloaded with information. Is that bad?

Not necessarily. It is good and it can help.

But there is a real danger of living in a way of accumulating information. We have so much information, but maybe we don’t know what to do with that information.

We’re on the risk of becoming museums of young people that have everything but without knowing what to do with them.

------------------

I am very familiar with this concern, and I have given at least 4 years of my career trying to give solution to this issue. I am very surprised it was raise to the POPE as a concern by the youth, I felt my voice was heard.

SO MUCH OF SO MANY CAN BE PARALYZING, to clear once mind what to do with technology and information is a daunting process in it self. So many who claim they figured out the internet are actually the exact people who create more confusion, adding more and more conflicting ideas, overwhelming misleading information, clogging the minds of those who turn to technology for results. In-turn museum of youth,collection of knowledge as display, but do not really know what to do with it. We have millions of users of the internet all bloated with information, nailed with their own confusion. 

SO MANY ARE CONTRIBUTING, PUBLISHING TRASHY IDEAS far from the SUPERIOR REALITY, it is what makes not only the youth of our country confused with technology, but almost the 90% of the general internet Filipino users, left with million of so called clues how to use IT to advance their career, their studies, their well being, results -- NOTHING.

The internet if it is filtered, if it is authentic, can really help our youth move forward.

I sometimes really wish I have an alien power to provide FOCUS among us. To be someone who has superpower to make technology understanding instant. Unfortunately I am not. I am only she, who is sometimes defeated by own personal needs, who gets exhausted, who is also overwhelmed by the many who wants attention and make internet understanding their business and their so called advocacy.

Although we never stop thinking of how we can deliver good technology training, best e-commerce and start-up ideas, other computer education and applications, but to avoid adding more clutters online, I saw my self stepping back. To insist what I know is better and correct against others, will only be up against all the trash of those who continue to write and published about their expertise, for the purpose of better ranking, SEO effort only for attention.

I opt to step back, although reflective against my brand being not too visible, it is not contributing if we continuously over-flood the internet of ideas repackaged as new and claim uniquely as ours.

I refuse to add repeated content, personal opinion against others with no names. I refuse to publicly say more, if it is already said by others, or if I have said it before, or if I already said it again and again, regardless of my positioning, for the sake of the precious time of those who are hopeful for changes, I opt to keep our training available only to those who will come and ask.

"TO THINK, TO FEEL and TO DO, And all that, harmoniously",

To hope technology will help us achieve results for our lives, is time to DO things needed to be done.

And following what the POPE have said, be a YOUNG HOLY, a SAINT who can love. It all make sense, to love is to offer online what is good for others.

MANILA BULLETIN TRANSLATION:

The Pope -

You might ask me: ‘Father, how do we become saints?’ This is another challenge. It’s the challenge of love. Which is the most important subject that you have to learn in university? What is the most important subject you have to learn in life? To learn how to love and this is the challenge that life offers you: To learn how to love and not just accumulating information without knowing what to do with it. But through that love, that information bear fruit.

After this, the gospel offers us a serene path and way forward. Use the three languages: of the mind, of the heart, and of your hands. And the three, to use them in harmony: What you think, you must feel and put into effect. Your information comes down to your heart and you realize it in real works. And this, harmoniously. Think what you feel and what you do. Feel what you think and feel what you do. You do what you think and what you feel—the three languages. Can you repeat this? To think, to feel, and to do. To think, to feel, and to do. To think, to feel, and to do. And all that, harmoniously.

    I am a woman, sometimes a man. Most of the time I live my life online. 

    Maybe to some they will find my lifestyle unusual, for a lot of things I do is digitalized, made public to expressed what I want, and what I want to happen. 


    I AM NOT A WRITER -
    I am not trying to be a writer, I am so poor at it, a lot of the time I embarrass myself in trying to be one. I think my brain is not rigged to process words I like to write, I always end up typing another word different from what I wanted to say. This is not to mention it's normal for me to misspelled words and joggle English with Filipino grammar, yet still you will find me writing very long text, it is a big irony for me too, why I keep on trying. 



    AN ARTISAN -
    
    I am an artist in heart. I am moved with images that speaks about life, feelings, insights, culture, heritage, history and faith. Sometimes the internet is my refuge, my escape, my friend. 


    AS A WOMAN -
    I am a woman of will, I need to become one, needing to be strong is an understatement. I believe I am summoned by GOD to be one. Maybe because I have to be for I am a mother of three beautiful souls. I have no other choice but to be strong just like any other woman who care and knows how to love.  My will motivated by love is my ultimate tool that powers me as a female. 


    TO MY CHILDREN -
    Nurturing and letting go, loving and wanting, protecting and allowing, teaching and letting it be is a confusing task I am face everyday. To balance all of which as a mother is a daunting task, it is exhausting, most of the time I wonder  if it is really possible to achieve the right balance required for motherhood. 

    My only trust is GOD will embrace my children too, just like what HE always do to me when things are all wrong., when things are so hard.  It is my everyday prayer good or bad GOD's presences will always be with them. 



    RELATIONSHIP -
    I am a daughter, a grand-daughter, a sister, a loving sister. I am a sister in law, a niece, a cousin, a ninang and a bff.  I like to show God's love to all of them around me, in turn I also feel blessed with all of them around me. 

    I am born with something, I have a good family. I do not have a rug to richness fairy tail story. I am born enjoying the fruits of my grandmother's hard work. We are treated like prince and princesses; always like a child in their eyes. We are loved, we are protected, we are  provided for.   I am listened to within the family I grow up with, my opinion and what I want for my family is respected.  The only gift I can give back to them as token of gratitude is honor. 



    POOR OR RICH-
    I can be poor, there are times I choose to be one, it does not matter to me. 

    Having money and not having money is normal. No one should brag about their status in life, because you will always be subjected with someone who has far more than you. Anyway what ever you have always, it will never be enough.

    Poor or rich there is honor to it.  


    AS A WORK FORCE-
    I am normally a boss, a project leader, a chief operations manager, a consultant. I could also be a partner. I like to think I can work with anyone side by side. Occasionally I am a servant. I feel glad when I have a chance to do one. 


    AS A WIFE -
    I believe I am the worst of its kind, I am very poor being one.  The more I try to be perfect, the more I fail as one.  Because of that, I hate being too married. 

    But I believe in commitment, to honor what is right, no matter how hard, no matter how sacrificial the requirements is, I will forever commit to what I think is right. 

    I think a spouse or a partner is not a possession to keep. A wife or a husband is an individual with their own souls, with their own thinking and aspirations, that should not be controlled, repress because of marital obligations.  

    Marriage should be bonded base on honest, sincere respect with utmost willingness to give or to give way. 

    I do not believe there is such a thing as soul-mate, but I believe in mutual admiration, affection, submission, loyalty, and the irony of fidelity and freedom. 



    AN ENEMY-
    I can be a competition, or a terrible adversary, sometimes an enemy,  I rarely keep my opinion to myself  against someone who I have bad feeling with. Even I despise myself when I feel ill with someone. 

    What I can only assure to those who like a duo with me; it will take a lot for anyone to make me  reach to a tipping point.  It is rare for me to immediately react on provocation without calculating the odds and the elements  I can leverage, which can result good gains on my favor. 

    In times of war do not expect any opponent to fight fair.  


    PATIENCE - 
    Contrary to what my friends think I do have patience, I pray hard for it.  I ask God to bless me with such virtue, to help me  tolerate and give understanding to others who are critical of me. I need to learn how to respect opinion even if it is not favorable to me or to my ears. 

    As long as there is no fabrication, no exaggerations, each one of us is entitled to how we perceive things. You will earn my respect as long as you are honest with me regardless how odd your truth is. 


    RESPECT-
    I will never demand respect from anyone, but I will try to earn RESPECT from people who I value. 



    MONEY MATTERS-
    I am a business strategist, an investor, an owner, a debtor, a payor, a payee. I am a risk taker, an executioner, an occasional loser.   I will settle everything I legitimately owe. I do honor my words even if it will take me my whole life time to do so. I always go back to the people who I owe promises.   
    Money is not the root of evil. It is the fear of not having that turn someone greedy. 


    LOSES 
    I know when to let go especially if it will make me loss more; for the sake of peace some times it is best just to forgive (Matthew 18:27 - KJV) 

    "Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt." 


    YET I am not expecting  any entitlement for pardon, cancellation  or forgiveness.  I will wish heaven will see my heart and help me amend to all who I did wrong regardless of reasons and intention.

    I am thankful, I am not afraid to take some blows, to endure loses, to have nothing. I do not mind. 



    GAIN-
    In life we will always have blessings.   We will always have something to count. We will always be given chances to flourished and enriched ourselves; it is just a matter how good or awful, how ignorant we are in managing our gains.



    CHALLENGES 
    I enjoy challenges. I live as if I am injected with adrenaline serum and look for challenges I can unleash the energy accumulated inside of me.  I besiege what is seemingly impossible. I am DARNA. 



    HUMILITY -
    I can't make my self humble, I need to ask GOD to touch me with humility.

    I appreciate those who knows how to show appreciation, people who can give sincere praises for others.  For me those who can express their admiration to other are the real people who are blessed with HUMILITY.  


    PRIDE - 
    I hate it, I am confused with it, I never learned how to tame it inside of me.  It is sometimes a rage, demanding entitlement, feeling of being so deserving to be respected. 


    On the other hand, PRIDE is also a the time I feel 
    happy and so proud of my self, for things I have done, for the things own, for the things that is around me. 


    PRIDE is  a feeling of being capable of doing, regardless if it is good or bad. It is being happy with your talent or skills. 

     
    But I also know it is pride that gives me survival, it is being afraid of losing.  I welcome pride as an instinct, to protect what I think is right.


    ENVY - 
    Is a by-product of pride. 
    I pray envy will not eat me. I pray to be meek and low, always recognizing  the presence of GOD to help me overcome envy. 
    Sometimes envy is painful.
     

    TIME - 
    In the natural sense of it time can't be  duplicated, it is always diminishing  and it is relevant to exhaustion.   


    Time is physical.  It is like a space it can only be occupied once. Therefore time is just one passing second for our family. A diminishing moment relevant to physical limitation for our career. 

    TIME & CAREER?
