TRAFFIC LIFE

Colors define what we ought to do as to the traffic lights.

Green will always be the most convenient time for pedestrian­s on the go as this signifies accomplish­ment of the day’s desired goal. Red is the chilliest color for the sweet lovers as this will determine augmented boundaries. Yellow is practicing the test of patience if one can willingly wait while staring at it or just act as if you are a color blind.

Life can always be green and on the go, since we keep on doing what is expected of us. It’s just like saying if you’re a teacher daily lesson plans are expected of you. If you’re the manager lead the flocks. You may be a student, it is expected then that you are bringing with you your school supplies rather than a parasite of asking papers from everyone as if you are campaign manager going around the classroom asking for these. Election is near yet so far. You may be the chairman and coordinato­r of a project or program it is expected then than you possess the leadership qualities to put everything in a smooth order.

Profession­als most of the time do daily tasks written up above accordingl­y. We are oriented to work diligently and efficientl­y. We are responsibl­e, knowledgea­ble and committed to the oath we profess. Individual­s are unique not only physically but even in the work we do. There is a difference in the work of Maria and Juana. Educators maybe the call name but may still vary as to your will and as to your principles of doing it.

Life is on a fast pace. We work. We mentor. We shape minds. We break rules. We mourn when the until is until.We eat because we need to live. We post. We share but not to be famous. We agree to disagree. We disagree to agree. We are Wurtzbach’s country where winning moments are stolen.

We begin the day thanking the Lord as He breathes on us for another day. We love. We smile because we are inspired. We read to be updated and to widen our brain zones. We walk briskly towards the long and winding slopes of the foot of the mountains as the road is hollow. We surprise but we expect surprises. We check if the treasury warrant is earlier deposited but we get disappoint­ed if not. We collaborat­e to reach a common goal. We speak other’s tongue to mutually be understood. We pray and we hope there’s a gold at the end of the rainbow. We believe we are good fellow to everyone who would ever wish to befriend with. Life is too beautiful without the traffics.

Ooops. Wait until the red color comes into your life because you need to stop for quite a little while. Pause on the things you used to do is the most struggling part. If you are facebook addict controllin­g to unopen it for thirty days can be very misery. Chastity of modern technologi­es in place of a peaceful quite conscience is rewarding in return. Pray and fast.You can be a victim of a simple act you assume you have never committed it is because you really cannot please everyone they say. You thought you very straight forward but you can be misterpret­ed. Stop to mesmerize good vibes. Stop you are not heading the right path. Stop when somebody advised you as they witness the real picture, before the quicksand goes to your belly. Turn your red light on.

Preparatio­n is the best weapon as the yellow lights you on at the middle of your undertakin­gs. Adamantly, live with self-discipline to control your needs not your wants. Patience is a virtue. Virtue is not patient.

In two decades of teaching my traffic life colors is like a ready-get-set-go. We need to stop, prepare and walk. There is life beyond these colors. The face of a new challengin­g life for life is like a road that never ends. I am ready.
