     I learned that you should not let the difficulties in life impact you, no matter how serious or difficult the situations are or the troubles you are going through, from the story "A Letter to Pedro, Also Known As Pete of Rene Estella Amper. We better laugh, as the Filipinos frequently do.

     An example of how happy Filipinos really are. We still have smiles on our faces and can still tell jokes despite the events that are happening in our nation, such as corruption, the environmental issue, prostitution,, poverty and other social issues.

     No matter how challenging life is, we will always believe that we can learn to find happiness in even the simplest of things. There isn't even a barrier to what is referred to as "pleasure."
