A Filipino old folk tale tells of a young man named Juan Tamad who always wanted to get something doing nothing. One instance is that he laid down under a guava tree and opened his mouth straight under one fruit and waited all day for that guava to fall directly into his mouth. The guava tree is just there, with lots of fruits waiting to be picked and enjoyed. But Juan Tamad chose not to do anything except to wait for that lifeless fruit to do something for him, to fall into his mouth and get eaten.
Friends, a lot of wonderfull opportunities abound around us. Grab those opportunities now.
Are you Juan Tamad or are you the ever-diligent ant who saves during summer so as not to beg during the rain? Decide who you are today.
