Organisasyong Agimat

[font=Comic Sans MS]Desiderata
by: Max Ehrmann

Go placidly
Amid the noise and haiste, and remember
What peace there may be in silence

As far as possible without surrender be on terms with all persons.

Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
And listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant;
they to have their story.
Avoid loud and aggresive persons
they are vexatious to the spirit.

If you compare your self with others
you may become vain and bitter
for always there will be a greater and lesser person than your self.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep your interest in your own career,
however humble;it is a real possesion
in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere
life is full of heroism

Be your self, especially, do not feign affection
Neither be cynical about love
for in face of all aridity & disenchantment
it is perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully
surrendering the things of youth

Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden
misfortune. But do not distress your self with dark imaginings.

Many fears are born on fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe, no less than
the trees and the stars;you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt
the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God
whatever you concieve him to be
and whatever your labors and aspirations
in the noisy confusion of life keep
peace with your soul.[/font]
With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.

Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

Ito po ang piece na kaylangan namin kabisaduhin para sa speech
lesson namin, noong nakita ko po ito, nasabi ko agad, nakakatamad kasi sobrang
haba nito para sakin. Pero noong binasa ko na at piliting intindihin
ang ibig ipiahiwatig ng tula, naging madali itong kabisaduhihin para sa akin.
Nakita ko po na parang kapareho ng agimat ang gusto ng sumulat ng tulang ito.
Nais nitong mabigyan ang lahat ng pagkakataon na makapagsalita at marinig.
Gusto niya ng kapayapaan at katahimikan hindi ang gulo at giyera.

"Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
And listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant;
they to have their story.
Avoid loud and aggresive persons
they are vexatious to the spirit."

Marami na akong nabasang history ng tulang ito ang totoo hindi ko na alam ang paniniwalaan ko.
May nga nagsasabing si Atty.Max Ehrmann talaga ang orihinal na may gawa nito.
May iba na ang sabi ay natagpuan ito sa St.Paul's Church sa Baltimore at gumawa lang ng sariling bersiyon si Atty.Ehrmann at hindi talaga kilala kung sino ang sumulat nito.
Pero ano man ang totoo, sino man ang sumulat nito, kahanga-hanga siya dahil
ang tulang isinulat niya ay nabasa ng buong mundo at nakaka-apekto sa isip at paniniwala ng mga tao magpahangang ngayon. Wala naman siyang masamang hangarin sa tulang ito, ang tanging gusto lang niya ay maging maligaya lahat ng tao at mabuhay sa kapayapaan ang lahat.
Hindi natin kaylangan ang makidigma, lahat tayo ay maaring maging masaya at mabuhay ng payapa kung gugustuhin natin. At higit sa lahat wag nating kalilimutan ang Panginoon, makatatagpo tayo ng kapayapan ng loob sa kanya, ano man ang paghihirap at problema natin sa buhay marami paring mga bagay ang maari nating tignan at maging dahilan para maging maligaya tayong lahat.
