Amplified advertisement

An advertisement along EDSA says :

Imagine a party that never ends…

I dare not imagine. I can see the ending already. I would die. Har har har. Even party animals need time to rest in order to boost their energy.

The power of advertisement.

I just read today the history of the largest publishing group in Europe. The focus of the founder then was to show the products as they really. Then shifted to show how these products are created. What came next is the power of the representation.

These days, it is a mixture of all these and some more. Thus, a culture all its own was created. Tentacles spread all around. Influencing all our senses.

I just hope we don't just plain believe them. Try and know. Then believe.

Lion Chaser Manifesto

Quit living as if the purpose of life is to arrive safely at death. Set God-sized goals. Pursue God-ordained passions. Go after a dream that is destined to fail without divine intervention. Keep asking questions. Keep making mistakes. Keep seeking God. Stop pointing out problems and become part of the solution. Stop repeating the past and start creating the future. Stop playing it safe and start taking risks. Expand your horizons. Accumulate experiences. Enjoy the journey. Find every excuse you can to celebrate everything you can. Live like today is the first day and last day of your life. Don't let what's wrong with you keep you from worshiping what's right with God. Burn sinful bridges. Blaze new trails. Criticize by creating. Worry less about what people think and more about what God thinks. Don't try to be who you're not. Be yourself. Laugh at yourself. Quit holding out. Quit holding back. Quit running away.

Chase the lion.
