SINGAPORE

Yesterday Feb. 1, 2021 in our Dev Econ class I cried when I recounted the story of the domestic helper in one block in SG who told me that $25SGD n lng kuno mabilin sa iya sweldo after kuhaan sa mga deductions niya as a foreign worker in Singapore. I have Development Econ n pud this sem and I am happy that I am still in touch with my Development Studies field. Wait, I need to download something diay. Jia you Doki. You can do it always! :)

Fresh Pick

A Return to Love, by Marianne Williamson
(as quoted by Nelson Mandela in his inaugural speech, 1994)

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that frightens us.

We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?

Actually, who are we not to be?

You are a child of God.

Your playing small doesn't serve the world.

There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.

We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.

It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our own fears, our presence automatically liberates others.

--The Power of Focus, 2000, by Canfield, Hansen and Hewitt, p. 159
