No English

by Luis Arriola*

English Dictionary has not been able to explain the difference between the two words “COMPLETE” and “FINISHED”. Some people say there is no difference between “COMPLETE and “FINISHED”, but there is. 

When you marry the right woman, you are COMPLETE and when you marry the wrong woman you are FINISHED! When your wife catches you with another woman you are COMPLETELY FINISHED and when your wife likes shopping so much you are FINISHED COMPLETELY!!! 

In Asean, especially next year, you are complete if you have prepared properly like if you have joined the AKLAN FORUM. But you are finished if you have not. And completely finished if you had not even given it a thought or do any preparation. (The ASEAN Economic Integration 2015 will be effective next year.)

Are You The Winner? The Loser?

The winner is always part of the answer.
The loser is always part of the problem.
The winner always has a solution.
The loser always has an excuse.
The winner says, ‘let me do it for you”.
The loser says, “that’s not my job”.
The winner sees an answer for every problem.
The loser sees a problem for every answer.
The winner says, “It may be difficult but it is possible”.
The loser says, “it may be possible but it is too difficult”. 
The winner says, “Can, can”.
The Loser says, “Cannot, cannot”.
The winner says, “I’m possible”.
The loser says, “Impossible”.
The winner sees the light.
The loser sees the night.
The winner says, “Never say die”.
The loser always say, “Die, die.”
So, the winner wins.
And the loser loses. 
Your choice?

ENGAGE ROTARY CHANGE LIVES

Past President Megs Lunn reported, “Rotary International District 3850 (Panay, Negros Occidental and Western Mindanao) and District 3830 (Makati, CALABARZON areas plus Palawan) will rendezvous at our beautiful island, Boracay for the annual gathering of thousands of busy Rotarians. 

D3850 Governor Mark Anthony Ortiz and District 3830 Governor Robert Kuan are very excited to make things happen for both districts. Rotarian delegates from these two districts will invade the island for a combo of Rotary learning and Rotary fun on March 6-9, 2014 at the Boracay Crown Regency Hotel & Convention Center, Boracay Island, Malay, Aklan.” /MP
