2002 NCE Sharing

Fostering Cooperation
Keeping Open to the World
by Dr. Jesus Estanislao


Forge unity with neighbors
not at the expense of all others
nor to the exclusion of the broader good.

Good regionalism remains open
to every opportunity to contribute
to the welfare of the human family.

The whole world is our charge
We cannot shirk our responsibility
as citizens of the international community.

My refelection written on June 22, 2002

No man is an island. We cannot live alone nor can we do anything on our own. Every thing is interconnected. What we do now can affect the people around us in one way or another.

Politically speaking, the president cannot do everything on her own. Even if she will be given the chance to be a president all her life she cannot accomplish every single task and implement every single project without the help of those people below her. That is why she has her vice president, secretaries, undersecretaries and many other assistants below her.

In a corporate setting a simple work can prove to be very crucial in the overall result of a certain plan or output.

Let no man compare two jobs and say that one is bigger than the other because at the end of the day no matter how big or “small” your work is when we scrutinize the end product, it will not be what it is suppose to be if you did not do your work well.

Always remember that a good worker not only think in a microscopic view but also look and work in a macroscopic perspective, thinking not only of himself but the effect of his existence to the world. And that in the end there are no triangles where there are people at the top and people below but only circles where everybody is equal and important.

Thank you! :)
