P30,000 water system solution–Perlas By Nestor P. Burgos Jr. Inquirer Visayas First Posted 21:45:00 03/16/2010

 Water Supply ILOILO CITY—VILLAGE-BASED water systems that could cost as little as P30,000 to build should be used to fight the adverse effects of El Nino that has devastated thousands of hectares of farms in the country, presidential candidate Nicanor Perlas said on Monday.

 Perlas, president of the Partido ng Marangal na Sambayanan (Pangmasa), said the village-based water systems, including wells and irrigation systems, were cheaper, easy to set up and environment-friendly compared to large dams.

 “The government should immediately address the water supply problems especially in rural villages,” Perlas said in a phone interview on Monday with Inquirer.

A MAN FOUND A COCOON OF A BUTTERFLY

He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little opening.

Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could go no further.

The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which would contract in time.

Neither happened!!

In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shrivelled wings- it was never able to fly.

What the man in his kindness and haste did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening was natures way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.

Sometimes struggling is exactly what we need in our life. If nature allows us to go through life without any obstacles, it would cripple us. We would not be as strong as we could be.

What did you learn from the above story.. I learnt two things:-

That I must develop and grow through adversity

That in my FM Group Network marketing business I must allow my down-line to develop and evolve in the same way I have. I cannot do the work for them. If they are to grow into beautiful butterflies, they must do it for themselves… WITH SUPPORT FROM THEIR TEAM MEMBERS.

Remember the words of Calvin Coolidge

Nothing can take the place of PERSISTANCE

TALENT will not-nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent

GENIUS will not-unrewarded genius is almost a proverb

EDUCATION will not-the world is full of educated derelicts

PERSISTANCE and DETERMINATION alone are OMNIPOTENT
