Behind his dark world gives light to others

Earlier this day, I was watching the entertaining Filipino show Rated K which is anchored by the prominent celebrity reporter Ms. Korina Sanchez. Personally, I loved watching her show since it is entertaining, interesting and you can get some lessons as well out of it. In fact, lately I was really pity on what her show was featured it talks about different kinds of work. But for me the most interesting person the Rated K featured there is the blind old man who was blinded since he was four years old. I just can say that the man is amazing. I forgot the old man’s name but definitely he is blind but surviving. I really salute on the bravery of that old man.

When he was in his adult age he left he’s home and traveled alone in Manila despite the condition that he has. It is because he doesn’t want to depend more on his parents, he traveled alone and reached Manila after riding with the train. He depends more on God that give him confidence in dealing in places he never seen and never been with since he was blind. And because God is too good, Mr. Old blind man survived his life, having a family of his own. At the morning he sell “ice drop” for his family and at the evening he’s selling “ballot”. If someone will buying his stuff Mr. Old man doesn’t even know how much money his customer is given him, so therefore it is considered a risk because of the possibilities that his customers might cheat him. However, despite that he only answered that God will be the one who will judge them.

If we try to analyze, Mr. Old blind man is not just a tough man with self confidence facing the world of life but he is as well one of the best example and role model of those lazy people who are complete but doesn’t want to work at all, but love doing nasty things abusing themselves by doing drugs which leads them to robbery or other illegal activities. Why not think about it? If we want to survive in this world that we are living, start working now and live normally there are many works everywhere but sometimes we are being blinded of laziness which is not good at all.
