Journey to a Greener Pasture

Brain drain is not very new to us now a days, it has been happening for a century or so. Underdeveloped and rural places are the very ones who are affected by this trend. Many if not most of all educated and well off individuals choose to live and find a job in the city. In Philippines alone the number of overseas workers are almost 10 million.

These workers are often not to blame. There are many factors why brain drain is still existing now a days. Often professionals such as doctors and teachers do not want to work in a rural area because of underpaid salaries. It is not all the time people will do the act of service. They too have their own families to feed.  There are countries often are the developed countries give good salaries compared to third world countries. I do not believe that campaigns on decreasing the number of migrating productive individuals are being pushed through. Ceasing the brain drain trend from existence is not a very hard problem if the government and its people will unite.

Greener pastures are those areas you care the most

There are many ways to make this problem vanish. One is to increase the wages of teachers,nurses, health care workers and other professionals that are in the rural area. These mentioned professionals are very important in producing a productive citizen. Excellent teachers will eventually produce good students. Good nurses and doctors will be in charge of providing accessible and efficient therapeutic interventions to those who are having health needs and even to those who have health risks. Campaigning for wide spread patriotism can also be a solution to this problem. Sometimes we just have to be creative on how we can earn and help our community at the same time.

Budget is never a problem. Instead of fixing not so destroyed roads why not give that budget for compensation of rural services. Fixing national roads that cause no problem at all just to impress their constituents solve the problem. Dealing on political issues until the end of term of a government official and blaming each other is also not the solution of this problem. Resolving conflicts to war is definitely not a solution.

We do not need new nurses, new doctors, new pilots and most specially we do not need a new president and other government officials. We just need to be involved. As what my teacher said in our lecture one time America or other countries is not a greener environment. We just have to water our land to make ours become greener. 

World Peace: Undeniably Impossible

Do you really think war will end someday and peace will reign all over the world? Unlike viruses peace will never spread throughout and encrypt to humanity. The world without war is like paradise for the once who are in it and to the future generation however this will never come true. I am not usually a pessimist but what I saw in news everyday made me lose hope. News that includes countries fighting with each other, strikes and civil wars within a country. Crimes are increasing in number each day.

Have inner peace.

As quoted from George Bernard Shaw “You'll never have a quiet world till you knock the patriotism out of the human race.” I totally agree with this quote, often patriotism is the root of war. Individuals are so focused in being patriotic that they lost the interest to have peace. Everybody wanted to protect almost everything they love which is often the cause of war. 


Who among you does not want peace? World peace can start from yourself. Having a quarrel with your neighbor early in the morning is not a good way to start a peaceful world. Being selfish and thinking only for your own happiness is not a way to start a peaceful world. 


Sad to say but often reality hurts. Selfishness and conflicts will never be gone in between each individual. As long as there is something to achieve everyone will fight to reach the highest step of the ladder. Think of it as a small office that has employees of the same position eventually each worker will think of ways on how to increase their rank and be promoted. As time goes by conflicts will appear. I am not saying we should be laid back and not achieve our goals in life. I am just showing the point where war often starts and how world peace will never occur. In conclusion, world peace is just a mere imagination however, we can be peaceful in our own way. We can live with peace in our hearts and surroundings by avoiding conflicts as much as possible.

Through this you will have the inspiration to make the relationship work.

Another tip is to SHOW YOUR PARTNER your love.Even little gestures matters. You can make your partner a breakfast in bed during weekends if you both do not have work or have a nice dinner after a long busy day. This way you can both catch up with your day’s work. You can also go together in a bar a have fun with your common friends.

Be a mystery, in this way you both will not predictable. Surprise your partner once in a while. Be adventurous and creative. You can try things both you have not done before. You can have your summer in somewhere and explore together. Enjoy life together when you both have the time.
