Managing Crisis @ ezinearticles.com
Recently, my first ever article submitted to ezinearticles.com was approved and went live. I was moved to write the article because of the incident happened last August 23, 2010 at the Quirino grandstand — the manila hostage drama — wherein 8 people lost their lives. It was a sad story. It really was a crisis.
If we can only undo what had been done, we could have done so. Since it’s irreversible, what is within our grasp is acceptance and be able to move forward and learn from it. It might be a hard learning experience but it is still learning in the first place. We grieve at the demise of those foreigners and share the feelings of the bereaved as well as of their whole country.
It’s September. Few days from now we will commemorate 9/11. Of the same vein, it was a crisis that never forgotten. It will always be remembered. Why? It’s not only because of the remorse and excruciating pain it brought to many. More importantly, we saw how it solidified us — the humanity. Many things have changed since then. It proves one thing that is certain, we have learned a lot and learning still.
These underpin the fact that life on earth is unpredictable. We have deciphered the seemingly undecipherable, understood the supposed incomprehensible, achieved what is somewhat unattainable, but we are still left no prescience. There must be someone powerful, the omnipotent and omniscient who can reverse our predicaments and to erase them completely from our memory. It is God’s business so to speak!
there is always a room to change, sometimes learning is hard, there are many frustrations and disappointments but what important is that you learn from it because learning does not only depend on the success but also on failures, it doesnt matter on how many times you fall, its a matter on how many times you rise.

i think, we must hear the other side of mendoza… i guess he won’t do it UNLESS he has valid REASONS. . .
He had done wrong, whatever reasons he had. We are not yet living the true life but satan’s rulership. So keep on the watch and keep doing good things.
