the core value of this article was sharing..anything you have in you would be worthless until it’s given away and shared to others..blessed are those who shares without thinking twice..(“,)

5. Berja - February 9, 2008

Lesson for this article…”Don’t be so greedy”if you have something and you know that others really need it,share it without hesitations.

6. dana evangelista - February 9, 2008

so dapat talagang tangalin na sa utak ng mga tao ung motto na “Moderate the Greed”

7. katie - February 9, 2008

15. Rolando Magada Jr. - February 11, 2008

maybe it’s not actually a thing that you could get when you gave something but its the happiness you will feel…

16. Gregorio Albario Jr. mn2-2d - February 11, 2008

ganda ng message…. real happiness is best achieved if you share such happiness to others… it is the time when you will really feel satisfied on whatever you have in life…

28. luie - February 13, 2008

ahh.. so, i think i’ll gave away my belongings just to say that i have.. hehehe

29. rem jerome f. ramirez BBA MN 2-2d - February 13, 2008

very rewarding kasi ang feeling kapag nagbibigay ka…..

30. ivy - February 13, 2008

you don’t ever have a thing until you give it away?? sometimes we felt that we have the most miserable life in the world, but looking around there are most needy and make us realize how lucky we are. learn to give and be thankful for everything :-)

31. miyvki - February 13, 2008

lets learn to share the blessings our Lord has given us, we are just an instrument of God for others… “LIVING IS GIVING, GIVING IS LIVING”

32. king jhan - February 13, 2008

i don’t believe in that quote, you can’t all the things that you have

33. ervi doronila - February 13, 2008

ganun,,dun moh p lng xa mrerealize..

34. richard - February 13, 2008

i guess i wont ever realize the truth in this quote until i actually die., hehehe., :) its hard to realize something like this especially in this time and age.

35. Kenan - February 13, 2008

tama nga nmn.wala nakoh msabi

36. rommel - February 13, 2008

hindi ko maisip yung kahukugan nung sinabi nya eh

37. magno sinohin - February 13, 2008

nyc!!!
speechless?!!!
wala ako masabing iba ah!!!!

38. cariss_4-2 - February 13, 2008

things are mere things until you have learn how to share. After all, hindi lang ikaw ang tao sa mundo, so if you got anything to give that won’t hurt that bad if you give it away, why not?

39. sane bps4.2 - February 13, 2008

i concede with the given facts.. .
it cud also serve as a purpose for everyone who hasn’t lost anything yet.. . to love and nurture what we posses so as to have a better memory once its lost.. .

40. janis 4-2 - February 13, 2008

super generous naman nya…i salute him for that…

41. jenny may gementiza - February 13, 2008

kht paanu dpt magtira tau para sa sarili natin!!

42. Loven Carl Wasan - February 13, 2008

eto nanaman tayo sa pag bibigay eh… hahaha… tama nga naman.. hindi natin malalaman na meron tayo kung hindi tayo magbibigay… pero wag natin ibigay lahat… nalaman nga natin na meron tayong pwedeng ibigay… naubos naman…

43. FAYE BERNARDINO MN2-2D - February 13, 2008

tama naman ginawa niya na magbigay noh….

44. kim - February 13, 2008

ang ganda ah….sabi nga ng jolibee tuwing sasapit ang pasko SHARE A TOY….ewan..

45. Emmanuel - February 14, 2008

tama yan

we just realize that in the real world, the more important is to sacrifice for the sake of others

prove our existence by sharing what you’ve got to others for you to realize that you had once that thing

46. Ma. Kristine Agarao - February 14, 2008

Sabi nga nung pari.. “its about making the right choices in life” whatever you decide to choose as long as you believe that its right then surely it will have a “thing” on you.
..tulad nung pag-donate nia.. he was able to utter the words because for him self-fulfillment is best achived if you choose to give and help others.

..on the other hand..some may think..(specially ung mga hikahos) na…that money will have a “thing” on them if they will use for their own living.that’s not selfishness..that’s practicality

both have a point..rights

47. Ma. Kristine Agarao - February 14, 2008

right?..i mean..hehehe

48. Gerald Peter Corton - February 14, 2008

According to the moral of the story I once read, “Blessed are those who are pure in heart for they shall see God”

It doesn’t matter whether we possessed the most precious things in this world or not. What is more important is how we spend our life during our time.

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

kung lahat ba naman ng tao eh katulad ni Pareng Ernest di sana walang problema….

Matutong magbigay at mamuhay ng simple!!! yun lang Yon!!!

50. jonnel manlapas - February 14, 2008

all i can say is that, giving is the real meaning of owning or possessing a thing….

51. Marianne Grace - February 14, 2008

your realisation of having something in your hands happens when it is lost..

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

ernest hemingway wouls always remind me of a prof ……no other than sir cuenca…..he’s one of his faves kc….lageng kpg sat nababanggit xa s klase….sikat!

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

i have read the old man and the sea and it really deserve to won the nobel prize..

i think what ernest hemingway wants to tell us that if we lose something or let go something for the good of others, their will be in something better in return..

54. ROJ - February 14, 2008

kng mgbbgay t u ng khit anung bgay dpat lng bukal sa ating klooban

55. Maria Carla L. Manalo - February 14, 2008

para bang..you will only know the true value of something or someone when its already gone o you will only learn to appreciate things when you learn to share it..?

56. Jake M. Turingan - February 14, 2008

uhm…ang pagkakaintindi ko sa sinabi nya eh saka mo lang malalaman ang isang bagay kung wala na ito sa iyo….o kaya di mo talaga masasabing meron ka ng bagay na iyon kung di mo ito magagawang ishare sa iba…ang lalim masydao eh di kaya ng utak ko…nakapagod mag-isip..
-XVII-

57. betsy - February 14, 2008

gnun ba po un…you really have to lose something for you to realize that you once have it???

in short….tapon mu lht ng possessions mu!

58. ely - February 14, 2008

dapat sakin mo n lang binigay…hehehe!!!joke!!

i think that is the bravest thing to do to give kasi konti na lang ang mga gni2ng klase ng tao ngaun…

59. Alex Sevilla - February 14, 2008

Give until it huts.. yun ang nakita ko…

60. ghy - February 15, 2008

63. karl-bps3-2 - November 27, 2008

64. Rachael seso - November 27, 2008

66. careen_bps3-2 - November 27, 2008

68. me-ann (BPS 3-2) - November 28, 2008

to give is to recieve ^^,

good karma kapalit ng giving

so…. GIVE!!!

69. James Remojo BSME I-2 - March 29, 2009

sabi nga it’s better to give than to receive.
gaano ba kahalaga ang magbigay?
hindi naman palagi na kapag nagbigay tayo ay may matatanggap tayo.
pero, mabuti ng magbigay ayon sa hinihiling ng kagustuhan mo, dahil alam ko iyon ang mas higit na matatanggap mo.

70. jaypee mortel bsme 1-2 - March 30, 2009

…hindi ko pa nababasa yung novel nya…

…maganda b yung story..?

…maganda naman siguro yun, nanalo n ng award eh…

…pero dun sa sinabi nya, parang try and try until u succeed…

71. gilbert ancheta(bsme 1-2) - March 30, 2009
