We at Philippines Today join the rest of the world mourning the tragedy of the attacks to the World Trade Center and the Pentagon in the USA. Let us pray for the grieving families, the heroic men and women who are helping in the search for survivors, and mostly for God's wisdom to guide our world leaders in their most crucial moments of decision.

In the movie "Proof of Life" starring Meg Ryan and Russell Crowe, a scene where a list of countries with rampant kidnappings was depicted. Not surprisingly, the Philippines was number one in that list.

Patience helps the farmer bear the long wait for the next harvest. It keeps an employee striving and testing new waters until he breaks into his dream job. In money talk, it gets the money rolling especially when coupled with thrift and industry.
