Exercise 8: serving others, A Social Responsibility

ENDALICIA A. QUILLOY

1. Explain the meaning of the saying “No man is an island”

 That no one is truly self-sufficient, everyone must rely on the company and comfort of
others in order to thrive.
 The phrase “no man is an island” expresses the idea that human beings do badly when
isolated from others and need to be part of a community in order to thrive.

2. Read an article on “Serving Others,” React on it and write your explanations.

 DO NOT WAIT FRO THANK YOU- You should not wait that all people will be thankful
to you for your help. You should understand, that the help is not something like goods,
which is possible to sell with benefits. We help each other just because we want to do in
this way. Do you give the person the bill, because you explained hoe to go to the library,
for example? Or should we stop giving some free advices and free help? It seems, that
no one needs such kind of help, because it will not improve our life.

3. Who are the “others” in your life?

 My friends

4. Should we limit our “service for others” to our “significant others” or the people who are close
to us, either by blood relationship or through friendship? Explain your answer fully.

 Yes, don’t give too much to other people you need also to give yourself a break about
giving other people.

5. How did Rizal do his share of “serving others”? Explain your answers fully.

 Rizal served not only himself and his family and friends, he was passionate about
helping his countrymen from mistreatment. His love for his own country had pushed him
to open himself into helping his fellow Filipinos, and though they were strangers to him,
he had treated all of his countrymen as his family.
6. How can you do your share of “serving others”? Explain your answers fully.
 In a simple way by helping other people not just in money matter but as long as I can
help, I will. Even with the simplest form of just being approachable enables me to be
open for help to others. For me to be able to give service to others, I must be able to
open myself to strangers and to have a bigger heart. i will share my service, first and
foremost, in the simplest deeds there is; just the mere act of checking up on a friend or
giving an advice is already an act of service.
Integration:
I realize: that helping other people gives me so much happiness to my heart, it’s so good to
help others succeed in life.
I resolve: that when you choose to help others, especially if it’s face to face, you’re entering
their lives in a positive way, reinforcing social connections as you go. Helping everyone as
much as we can, but see that the other person doesn’t take it for granted and depends on
you for everything.
Exercise 9: Positive vs. Negative Love Of self’

1. Differentiate positive love of self and negative love of self or selfishness. Research for the
answer in the library or the internet. Cite your source of information.

 The difference between loving yourself and being selfish is very simply established.
Loving your self is when you create positive thoughts about yourself and those positive
thoughts are also good for other people. Being selfish is when you create negative
thoughts, they are good for yourself and bad for other people.

2. Read an article on “Greediness”. Give your reactions to the said article.

 We should not be greedy because greediness is not healthy.

3. Identify and discuss the roadblocks to serving others.

 Money because even if I want to help other youth to study, I couldn’t because I don’t
have enough to money to sustain them.

4. Is it possible for a selfish person to be truly patriotic, socially concerned, morally upright and
productive? Support your answer.

 No, because they always think about their selves.

5. In our present society, what seems to be the root cause of the following: graft and corruption,
terrorism, environmental destruction?

 Selfishness

6. What is the relationship between Rizal’s positive love of self and his fellow Filipino? Explain
your answer fully.

 Because of Rizal positive love of self he was able to share it with his fellow countrymen
without asking anything in return serving them with all to save them from the poverty that
is caused by the Spaniards.

Integration:

I realize that: good self-love is build ourselves, before entering into a relationship and
independent of the relationship, throughout its duration. Bad self-love uses others. When we
only self-love in the negative way, we enter relationships based on how they make us feel. Self-
love using others centers on our needs.

I resolve that: loving yourself is when you create positive thoughts about yourself and those
positive thoughts are also good for other people.
Exercise 10: Are You Proactive or Reactive?

1. How does proactive behavior differ from reactive behavior?

 being reactive means that you don’t take any initiative or make strategic decisions in life,
you just go where life kicks you; and then you react to what happens to you, sometimes
with positive, but more often with negative feelings while being proactive is that you ask
yourself what’s likely to happen and you act accordingly to get the best
possible outcome. You act before a situation becomes a source of frustration or crisis.
2. Give five examples of proactive or reactive? Explain your answer.

Proactive – I want, I prefer, I can, I choose, I will

Reactive – I need, I must, I can’t, I have to, if only

3. Evaluate your language. Is it mostly proactive or reactive? Explain your answer.

 Reactive because I just go where life gets me.

4, if you want positive changes to happen in your environment, start by listing down positive
attributes which you possess as a proactive person and compare with Dr. Rizal’s.

 Trying to think ahead creating a better future

5. If you want positive changes to happen in your environment, start by listing down positive
attributes which you possess as a proactive person and compare these with Dr. Rizal’s.

 Critical thinking
 Be progressive and don’t be contented on what you have try to achieve more.
 Educate and our self and make a way to improve it.

6. As a change agent, what proactive choices can you make in the following situations?

a. If you are a member of a dysfunctional family- I will make a solution to solve a problem
b. If you live in a community inhabited by juvenile delinquents- I will define the problems
and act to find a solution.
c. If you country is a third world country with a leadership crisis- I choose to stay on course
and manage the whole situation be a good leader on my community and family.

Integration:

In two to three statements, complete the following:

I realize that: reactive people are often affected by their physical environment. If the weather is
good, they feel good if it isn’t, it affects their attitude and performance. Proactive people carry
their own weather with them.

I resolve that If you had been reactive you would’ve dealt only with the things that went
wrong, which would’ve saved you a lot of time and peace of mind.
Exercise 11: Creativity: the key to productivity and Progress

I realize that creative skills, you need to be willing to take risks in order to advance your
abilities. while your efforts may not lead to success every time, you will still be boosting
your creative talents and building skills that will serve you well in the future.

I resolve that productive often describes a person's capability to do a lot of work, but
iscan refer to anything that produces a lot.

If we simply learn how to focus our efforts on significant and meaningful tasks there is
no limit to what we can accomplish. This is the foundation of why people study time
management.

I resolve that: time management is a very important skill to be learned and to be mastered in
order to have a better lifestyle.

negative emotions). It took root when we were still young and our parents and others
on our childhood circle provided too much for us and exercised excessive control
over us. They instilled a level of dependency and lack of self-discipline that can last

smaller steps towards it, starting from a very small task to begin with.

summarized into three nations. First, he believed that God was plus Supra. Lastly, he
believed that God was the origin of nature; that is, nature was the expression of God.

themselves. Explain your answer
 Our early Filipinos, in their simple communities, had everything that they needed not
only to survive, but to enjoy the beauty
 of hand-made colorful clothes, to rest in their comfortable homes, to hear the
soothing sounds of their own musical instruments, to worship their gods, to respect

generation with the use of their own alphabet.

and pessimism among youth and old Filipino citizens. Explain your answer.

suffering to accomplish his purposes in your life. Ultimately, God is control. He allows the good
in the good and bad things in life, and we trust him to work all things together for good in the
lives of those who love him.

I resolve that: even if we sometimes feel unsure about adapting or creating family prayers,
rituals, and other practices, we have this concrete reminder that the way we live our everyday
lives matters not just to God but to the corporate lives of even our smallest faith communities.

to a homeland and alliance with other citizens who share the same sentiment. This
attachment can be a combination of many different feelings relating to one’s own
homeland, including ethnic, cultural, political or historical aspects.

Integration:

I realize that: patriotism is love of country. But you can’t love your country without loving your
countrymen and countrywomen. We don’t always have to agree, but we must empower each
other, we must find the common ground, we must build bridges across our differences to pursue
the common good.

speech and manifested in one’s action the fruits of which enable a nation to stand.

national borders and cultures. It also describes an interdependence of nations around the globe
fostered through free trade.

collaboration they are sharing with each other, synergy is present.

more individuals.

have won. Win-lose situations result when only one side perceives the outcome as
positive. Thus, win-lose outcomes are less likely to be accepted voluntarily.
