Productivity can be seen in different lights. While most of us look at it as taking some time off from inactivities by doing odd jobs to augment income, productivity may come in the form of taking further studies, acquiring new skill, learning new craft or even picking up new sport. Still, to some, reading a good book over a cup of coffee or while taking their sweet guilty pleasures can be productive as they want it to be.
The measure then to conclude for a time to be productive is if the activity enriches, or affords us insights useful in our present (and future) undertakings. Whatever they are and however meager they may be, they all deserve a good landing in foregoing pages.
Goods of this world, whether money, food, water, even talents and time, are meant for all. Do not deny your stories for they may even become a barometer of success. Otherwise stated, let your tales shine to inspire fellow Pinoys to light their own fire to otherwise dimming nationhood.
