Problems are left to solutions, and solutions are left to choices, and choices are left to me.

Choose. Take chances. Make dreams happen. And it's life.

Little Bad Boy

Dr. José Protasio Rizal Mercado y Alonso Realonda is known as the Philippines' Pambansang Bayani. A well known person to Filipinos and to some nationalities who not only possessed one profession but almost all of them.  Jose Rizal is a very intelligent man who came from a wealthy family. He was able to go abroad to travel and study.

But of course, he also made himself comfortable in those places. He found comfort in some bars and with some friends. Studies show that Rizal made used some of his time having fun. There were also a lot of ladies that were connected to him. In which most of them were from the other countries.

Rizal also was a gambler. At times, he goes out with friends and gambles. But surely, he wouldn't have lost most of those games. Taking him as a very diligent and intelligent man.

But what Rizal has portrayed when he was in the other countries simply explains that he is just like any man, just like any Flipino. He too is just a normal guy playing his games. It shows that no matter how intelligent you are and how many good traits you have possessed, you can still do wrong things.

Rizal has the right to do those things. He just made himself happy. No matter how great and good he is, there is still a part of him that tells us that he isn't as clean as God.

What I love most about Rizal is that he always thinks of what is for the good of others. He doesn't prioritize himself, but rather, makes sure that others are safe and well. He made all the studies and all the hard work to help his family and to save his country.

He came back for the Philippines. He came for the independence of this country. He never forgot to look back, and that's what brought him to great heights. He brought all the knowledge he knew to the Philippines. He taught Filipino boys and girls. He taught them to be strong and inspired them to do what is right. He cured a lot of civilians. He helped contribute to the development of the lives of the Filipinos.  

He loved the Philippines so much that he fought for the independence of this country till his last breath. He truly is a hero.

As we remember him, we remember the love and wisdom he shared to us, to our country, and to the world too.
