How do I contribute to my country as a Filipino citizen in terms of responsibility, resourcefulness and creativity?
In terms of responsibility:
Respect the Queue
Whether you’re lining up at the grocery or are driving your car stuck in traffic, there is never an excuse to mindlessly overtake other people just so you can be first. Get rid of the me-first mentality and learn to put up with a little inconvenience because your little bit of inconvenience goes a long way into making things a LOT more convenient for everyone else. Just because everyone does it doesn’t mean you should follow suit as well. Be the detractor who follows the rules when on one else will.
Resourcefulness
Engage in community-related activities in your barangay/parish/whichever group you belong to and lend them your skills. If you don’t have any skills to lend, then develop some.
Creativity
Find something that you like to do and keep on doing it until you become really good at it. Then, once you become really good at it, keep on going until you become excellent at it. It’s a never-ending journey but getting there is just as fun as the perceived goal.
