In life, what matters are:

-not what we bought but what we built;

-not what we got but what we shared;

-not our success but our significance;

-not what we learned but we taught;

-not our competence but our character;

-not how long we will be remembered but by whom and for what;

Live a life…

that matters…

that cares…

that loves…

In life, what matters are:

-not how long we will be remembered but by whom and for what;

because someday i want to be famous not because of my looks(conceited) but because of my intellgnce and the wisdom i shared with others..and to be “the greatest man on earth”.

2. paulavalles - February 8, 2008

6. analen_b_sanchez - February 9, 2008

we should be thankful that we’re given a chance to enjoy life here on earth..what reallyu matters is how we live our life..how and what we cancontribute and share to others…like what have mentioned on this article..may we all find the purpose of our life..(“,)

7. Berja - February 9, 2008

Simple lang ang buhay…Leave a legacy para maalala ka ng mga tao!!!!

8. katie - February 9, 2008

ayoko kay vito.why? look, he;s ideas are limited that do not believe that hes “not” could be also those things that we could value…why b with not with ganito o ganyan, choice mo yan kung gusto mong ivalue lahat.hello?! how narrow minded.

9. clarence salazar - February 10, 2008

what matters in life is on how view things, and how u live ur life..

10. novskii sebuc 4-2 - February 10, 2008

basta ako,i’m living my life to the fullest..having a situation like mine,it’s really complicated..i need to fight for one single breath..that’s why i need to smile all the tym..i need to cherish my life to the fullest because i’m not sure hanggang kelan ako tatagal..so un..just rejoice..

life is really sumthing to be thankful for..

12. Ana Ramos - February 10, 2008

just live life to the fullest and remember to live a little something behind so you’ll become imortal

13. remylyn - February 10, 2008

just a piece of advice to all of us….
may the Lord be your motivation of doing good….the bottom line of all the goods in life is God!
take heart, be not weary of doing good to everybody, because, surely you will reap here on earth and in heaven hopefully! remember, it is not enough that you do good, what makes it complete is through the motivation of your heart…all life issues are attested in our hearts!
so,we have to be careful to other’s heart, we might brake theirs!

14. Lani Escobido - February 11, 2008

tama eh?wat matters most is dat we love at all…(kanta un diba?)jowktym!!!seriously,,,wat matters most is how u live ur life and what have u been to others that is worth remembering…kya nga ako ngpapakabait ako kasi gusto ko ipgatayo ako ng rebulto eh..i mean,monumento pala..

31. ^_^ xandra pataueg ^_^ - February 11, 2008

…so what is important is how we affect other’s lives in a good way, tama b?
well, yes… because someone’s worth is sometimes measured on how people around him value his presence..
so it matters if we left a footprints of good things and memories into one’s heart…

32. acel - February 12, 2008

ganda naman nito. sir halatang tumatanda ka.
anyways, di mahalaga kung anong meron ka, mas mahalaga ay kung gaano mo ipinakita sa mga taong mahal m0 ang pagmamahal na para lamang sa kanila.

50. miyvki - February 13, 2008

-not our competence but our character;

it is really our character that determines who we are, lets live life with the will of our Lord….. God bless those people who is in the wrong direction, He will put them back to the journey towards Him….

51. ANALEA - February 13, 2008

wisdom is meaningless if we keep it in ourselves.

54. GRACE - February 13, 2008

64. cariss_4-2 - February 13, 2008

Sabi nga sa isang anime, “Life is not a race in which it doesnt matter who runs the fastest but rather how you manage to pass through the hurdles and how you influenced the lives of those people you met along the way.”

Living a life is not merely getting riches and fame but rather how you touched the lives of the people who matters the most to you. ^.^

65. mary joy - February 13, 2008

73. lost seraph - February 13, 2008

how about the “soul eaters”?

those who took life,

the ownly thing thet know is devouring another’s life….

is it still a life worth living? even if it’s a hollow shell?

74. ely - February 13, 2008

-not what we got but what we shared;

It is more important in life to give what you can , because life is too short and those things that you have today will not be yours whan your already dead so its beter to share what you have .
And also give importance to every single second of your life dahil once mo lang pagdadaanan ang lahat ng yan .

75. santos 4-1 - February 14, 2008

“live a life that matters, that cares, that loves…” wow!yun lang!haha.. dapat lang!para mapakinabangan ka naman ng iba noh!!hehe..

76. Ma. Kristine Agarao - February 14, 2008

according to the emperor’ club:
” Great ambition and conquest without contribution is without significance. What will your contribution be? How will history remember you? ”
..to be able to keep that faith in giving 100% in all you do..you should always think of these things

1.The legacy you will leave
2.The inspiration you will give; and
3. The attitude you will develop

84. Jacq-BPS 4-2 - February 14, 2008

The richest man in the world and the beggar outside your window has no difference at all……

88. she.... bpag - February 14, 2008

i ‘ll read about this and take its message but then there’s always one’s tendency to deviate fron something that is considered the right thing to be done…..nevertheless we should always try to just do them anyway….for better results!

89. kenan - February 14, 2008

hayyzzz galing.. that’s true. hindi kah lang nabuhay para sa sarili moh.. nabuhay kah rin para sa iba.

90. Richard Joseph Carpio BPS 4-2 - February 14, 2008

it is somehow similar to the lines of Baden-Powell, the founder of the scouting organization, “the real way to happiness is by giving happiness to others.” we tend to care only for ourselves and not to think the welfare of others..

91. Rowena B. Urmenita - February 14, 2008

95. CARLO mayo Antalan - February 14, 2008

the world became very convenient… we got access on almost all the thing in the world… years from now perhaps going to moon is like a vaction to disney land or paris or whrever. i mean accessible. a bit accessible.. but the thing is, it is much harder now to find happiness… we build tall buildings, houses etc but break family. we got beautiful bridges but not to link us with other people, not to build better connection. we can reach our destination easier, faster with less hassle but not reach contentment..:(

96. anna marie angelito - February 14, 2008

hehehe…isa sa pinaka mahirap gawin…hay…pero napaka fullfilling kung nagawa mo…

97. joe ANN(4-2) - February 14, 2008

korek!
in life what’s important is how we make others feel that life is hope..
that we care
we believe
share
and leave footprints to other people’s heart.
Nice article, simple yet heartwarming..

98. mia - February 14, 2008

and whatever life may bring us…. may you see the brighter side of it…. :)

99. Alex Sevilla - February 14, 2008

are we talking here of Vito Corleone of the famous Godfather created by Mario Puzo? Sa akin kasi ang pinaka naalala kong line nya…

“Im gonna make him an offer he can’t refuse. ”

“A man who doesn’t spend time with his family can never be a real man.”

“I have a sentimental weakness for my children and I spoil them, as you can see. They talk when they should be listening. “

100. harly - February 14, 2008

very inspiring article…

life is beautiful!!, amen

101. jovay - February 14, 2008

so it means we should love, because through love, we can be selfless.. and enhance not just our mind but our character because people around us remember us the way we behave and the things we’ve done which favors them… don’t resist in doing good not only to ourselves but to all people around us so we could feel our importance… para sa oras na mawala tyo, mamizz nila tayo ^_^ hahahaha

102. noreen - February 15, 2008

additional lang po…

and it matters
not what someone is born
but how they grow up to be…

live life..yeah we should be..
and share love….thats the best kind of love…
the love that is shared..
because the universe only makes sense when we have them to share our feelings with.. (whoever “them” might be..)

103. pamsy - February 15, 2008

this article is so cool..

everybody should read this.. u’l learn a lot from this..

104. chems aka jane kay Mr.X - February 15, 2008

sometimes nacoconfuse tayo sa mga bagay-bagay…kung anoh ba talga ang pinakamahalaga….
