---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The Filipino poet Nick Joaquin (1917-2004) has stated: 'The history of Manila can be put in three words: challenge and response.' In other words, Manila has responded courageously to the challenges of war and disaster, and has triumphed.
"Whether on the level of the individual, society, or civilisation as a whole, the key to meaningful progress, growth, and creativity lies in responding courageously to challenges and continuing to make positive efforts for the future. It is a mistake to seek escape from hardships and simply skate through life. Real meaning in one's youth and one's life is found in earnest struggle."
