The short clip is very interesting and inspiring. It's all about a mother and a daughter who lives in poverty. But this goes to other families around us especially in every country in the world. We can't avoid poverty, because most of the people and families experienced it anywhere. They struggle every minute, hour, everyday so that they can continue and live on in every day we had. This is a big problem to us and to every people, because most of the person who lives in poverty don't have a work to feed themselves and their families. People and families always find a solution for this, just like for an example, making a small business around their place so that they can earn even a little bit of money. In my experience, especially here in the Philippines, I saw many families who don't have enough food, they don' have work, they don't have a place to live in, and even they go to streets and to sleep and make their home. They even search for food in the garbage cans where leftovers thrown by the people. Sometimes, I wanted to help them in every problem they have but I can't give it all to them, sometimes, I can give a small amount of money or I give them food when I met them in the streets. We must treat them equally even they are poor or rich, it doesn't matter because, we are all brothers and sisters. And we must share also our blessings to them. It doesn't matter if what is his/her culture, beliefs, and other things, if they need help , we must help them with all our courage. Even they don't call for help, we must offer them right away even they decline it. But most of the people thinks that they are superior in every person they encounter in terms of money, rank, position, and many more. For me, position or ranks doesn't matter to me because we are all human and we are all the same. We must also forgive and forget what people and families do to us ,because we don't know their problems either, and also all the people have problems in life that needs a solution for a better life. Helping each other is the best way to communicate to other people around us, even if they don't know us and we don't know them, we must acknowledge them as a human also, and we must start the conversation right away to them so that we can make friends with them and to the other people in the whole world. There are many types of people around us that we don't know because of their looks, culture, language, and many more. We must accept them even other people don't like them or some people avoiding them the kind of person they don't love. And also love is the most important thing that connects all the people in the world. By giving a small love, we can value the life of each of our loved ones, not just loved ones, but our friends, families, and the people we don't know and we just met them. By giving love, we can cherish them and they can be part of our life. Most of the people look down a person immediately after they see their appearance. Also, the most important value inside a person's personality, is their attitude. Sometimes people and families, accept anybody they meet because of their good attitude. Attitude may change a person's life in which it can use to help and meet new friends. For me, the best thing to have many friends is I don't look in their appearance, I rather look and feel their personality towards me, and make a good relationship with them and other people around me. Most of the people losses hope immediately like overcoming poverty in their place. They quit immediately without thinking what's the best solution to overcome their problems. For me, if they just go and try their best even there are a little chance of success, they must stand and try to overcome poverty. Their families and friends must help together to stand and find many solutions to their problems rather than thinking to quit and loss hope and forever lives in poverty. Because I can say, if a person don't losses hope and try his or her best to solve their problems with his friends and families, they can find an opportunity to become successful and overcome their fears in life. And they can stand again smiling with fortune and opportunity to live their new life and career. Also, the can be successful and overcome poverty.
Most of these people is inspired from things, person, a fruit , or anything they find that it can help them to become successful in life. This things that inspired them become their dedication to strive hard in their stage. Because of poverty, they can compare themselves in everything they can see around them. This thing just not inspiring them in their life, but they see these things to be a part of their life as if they strive hard to become successful. For me, as we humans think, things are just tools to anybody, but it can represents the whole quality and values you have, when you share it to other people and offer and give them help right away. For me, things can be part of our life, because these things helps me in everyday I live on. Just like for an example, this thing called eyeglasses, I wear them every day to help me watch clearly around me, I cherish it as a part of my life because without it, I can't properly see. It makes my eyeglass to be my best friend too which I used everywhere and every time I need it. We all know that our valuable things will not last forever if we let them broke or we don't care it anymore because we don't need it in the near future. For me, we humans have life also, we cherish it until the day we die, as of these things, if they are broke for an example my eyeglass, I can replace it immediately unlike our lives we can't replace it, because we live only once in our life, that's why we must value our life because if we don't, we die. Unlike these things, they don't have emotions , they don't have the feelings as we share and feel it to others. We have the emotion that can change ourselves and can change the personality of a certain person. For me, we are all balanced and unique in every aspects. as well as humans who deal with these things. Let says that, we all human don't live without these things. Just for an example, where do we live if there are no house? Or lets says how do we eat if there is no animals around us? In fact, these are all true, but most of the people don't care about it and even saying thank you to all the blessings they have in their life.
The Mother compared their life with the fruits they sell with her daughter. The clip was focus on the pineapple fruit. Her daughter had a hard time breaking it with the knife. For me, the meaning of this is, when a person wants to be a successful in life, they must face hard challenges in their way to make to the top and breaks in. The breaking and slicing of pineapple is just hard as we try our best to find best opportunities in our life. For me, the pineapple serves as an obstacle in her daughter that the daughter is struggling about breaking and slicing it to be sell. It's just like solving math problems in school that we don't know how to answer it with correct answers. And not learning how to analyze and find the problem and how we will fix and give a solution with it. And we know how hard a pineapple is, it's hard as we study and learn about all we need to learned inside the room. As we go and work hard in our studies, we can come up with an idea to solve and give a solution to a certain problem ,like breaking the skin and slicing the pineapple. For me, I can compare we humans to a pineapple, by just looking it, we all know growing pineapples takes longer time to be ripe and we can harvest it and eat. It's just like going to school , and learned a lot of things in a long time inside and outside the school. As I said, as we grow older, we can think more creatively and we can analyze a simple problem and give a solution to it and a conclusion. It's just like the surface of a pineapple, they said pineapples has many eyes, and yes that is the truth. We can see that the eyes around the body of the pineapple serves as an opportunity in our life in real world. Imagine that every eye of the pineapple is an opportunity for you to become successful in life and find better jobs or you can make your own idea to expand and develop in the near future. For me, it is a good example for us to make a pineapple to be your inspiration and be dedicated as hard as a pineapple.
Her mother didn't go to school, but she is dedicated that her daughter can go to school and finish her studies in life. Her mother don't know anything that can teach her daughter to become more smart. But her mother don't lose hope, she strive hard , so that her daughter can go to school and finish her studies. For me, her mother is so brave that she endure all the pain in her life so that she can support her daughter and give her a better life in the near future. And that's the best mother you can have in your life. Some children are lucky because their parents care for them always and good parents teach their children in good conduct. Even the mother couldn't teach a thing to her daughter, she finds a way that she can teach her daughter by understanding things by an example. Her mother start grabbing a piece of pineapple, without saying any words, her mother started to peel the pineapple. As her daughter who don't know how to peel it, she observed and learned by understanding the feelings of her mother and finding a solution on how to peel a pineapple. For me, it is a good example, even her mother couldn't talk because she's afraid that she don't know what to say to her daughter, so that her daughter can understand her what she's doing to peel the piece of pineapple. Her daughter strive hard to understand and slowly she finally learned how to peel the pineapple by her own hands perfectly. She makes her mother proud because she finally do it herself to peel and help her mother to sell it to other people around them. For me, her mother serves as a good example as a hard-working parent to all the people around them that their children always learned from their parents before learning things inside a classroom.
When her mother is selling fruits as a vendor, she saw her daughter staring at her classmates buying an ice cream from a man. Her daughter wanted to buy an ice cream, but she dont have money to buy because she know that they are poor. And her mother's income is not enough for them to live on. An obligation of a parent is to serve their children what they needs, but in this video. when her mother is staring at her daughter, she looked on her money from her income but sadly, she dont have enough money to buy her daughter an ice cream. Her mother can buy her an ice cream if she had enough money but her mother also know what is the best way to used the money correctly. And also, I acknowledged his daughter, that her daughter understand their situation they are in. But we know, our mother is not just weak to give up what's their children want, so her mother finds a away and even my mother or your mother, or whose mother will make a way so that their children will get what they want just like especially toys, candies, phones, and other things. So until her daughter fell asleep, and her mother is thinking and understanding their situation and how to give a solution to make her daughter happy. So her mother come up with an idea making an ice cream made of a pineapple. We all know, that our mothers won't give up until their children smiles, because they love their children so much. So as her daughter sleeps well, she started making the pineapple ice cream. Her mother do a lot of hard work for making that a present for her daughter in the morning. And she put the pineapple in a stick and put in under the ice cubes so that, it will froze and be an ice cream in the next morning. In the morning, her daughter started to taste the pineapple ice cream that her mother made for her. And her mother brag about her pineapple ice cream to her daughter that it is more delicious than a regular ice cream sold in the streets. For me, If I eat that mother-made ice cream , it will be the best because its your own mother who made it for you, and your mother made it will love and care and put her feelings on it. And I would rather eating it than buying expensive ice cream made my other person. After her daughter taste it, she comes up with an idea on selling it to the other person around them. Imagine for that age, her daughter's understands it and she made up an extraordinary idea to sell it and not just eating eat because she wants to eat an ice cream because she is jealous to her classmates eating more delicious ice cream. Her mother was shocked after her daughter tell her about selling it and her daughter dont know that he made a simple innovation to help her mother in business. So in the next morning, her mother and her daughter decided to sell and made some pineapple ice creams. By the idea of her daughter, it is a good opportunity to them to have a better life, and if their innovation will clicked then they can be successful in life. So her daughter started to sell them in the market with best of luck. She started talking to the people and entertaining them if they like pineapple ice cream and someone will buy her pineapple ice cream. But no one wants to try and buy her pineapple ice cream. For me, at her age, she lacked attention because she don't know how to sales talk yet and she dont have any experience what to do to have a customer and buy her pineapple ice cream. Until she went home and asked her mother, "how come no one wants to buy my ice cream?". For me, her reaction about it, is that her pineapple ice cream is not just delicious and why people buy such an ice cream that is made from a real fruit pineapple. I know she feel sad about it, I can see that she wants to quit about selling it, but her mother says to her that she must go to the market and how other person like her sell their products, and get many customers. For me, her mother don't teach her how to sell it to the other people, she just tell her and instruct her daughter to go to the market rather than teaching her how to sell it, because she can't teach her because she didn't go to school even she wanted to teach her daughter. Her mother is quite impressive because she suggest to her daughter to go to the market and observe people how they sell it properly. We all know that she is very young but she immediately go to the market. As she go to the market she saw many people, she hear many noises coming from the vendor that entertain and capture their sight so that the customers will buy to their products. In real life, many people do these things to sell their products. At first, it is very hard to sell, but when the time comes, if you didn't give up on it, and pursue your goals, and you try and try your best, it is worth it, because you can get many attention if you are a good seller. The hard work you spent to establish a good relationship with the customers is the best way to communicate with them and to sell your products to them.
As your small business grow bigger and bigger, you learned these experiences and determination towards your business and the feelings you get from day to day to serve other people and listen and understand their complaints about your products. I experienced and observed people when I am buying something in a market or in any store around us, some vendors or people who sell their products get mad if you don't buy some of their products. The reason of these is that they lack of patience and hard work and I don't like these kind of people who beg anyone to buy their products to us. They must be unique and try their best to communicate with good conduct so that the people will go to them without saying anything and buy their products automatically. Some people learned and experienced on selling their products by observing other competitors and you are dedicated to earn and to become successful in life. There are many techniques you can used in selling your product. It depends on the people how they come up an idea that surpasses other competitors. Making new innovations to become the business grow and people will buy it. The idea of making new products making them unique, and an idea on how to sell it to the public and other people. Nowadays, I see many stores anywhere, just like for an example, a food stall with a unique idea on making it. As many weeks passed, their business is growing and growing each day. In such that, their products or food are unique than they only have this kind of an idea and not in the other store around the city. And until these people observed their progress towards business, but some people intend to copy their idea and setting up a stall beside them to compete with each other. But some people also makes a new idea from that business and make another idea that will surpass it and become productive. For me, making a business is the easiest way to earn money and become successful, I saw many people who start from scratch and make a small business and many years passed, they become successful and their business grow and become productive, because of their hard work and their dedication to take risk and see what's the effect of risking it. Well most of the time, all the people go and make a business, even at young age you can make your own business if you are unique in presenting your business and how you sell it to the public. Nowadays, you can see everywhere in the city, there are many businesses around, just like for an example a sari-sari store which is a good idea and a small business to start with. By doing this, you must be smart on what you sell in your business, and most important thing is that you know what your neighbours needed at most. You must be smart and creative, and you must know already what the people needs so that you can start your business right away. In a business, we can say you are not the only one who make this business, just like the example above, making a sari-sari store, there are people who observed you and come up an idea to make a sari-sari store too, these are your competitors in business. I experienced these every day, as I buy something, I usually go to the store where I always buy because their store is very unique, and they have fast and good service, and they entertain and communicate you with a smile. Even the store is far, I rather go there, rather going to the store just beside our home, because their sari-sari store is not unique and they have a slow service.
At the time when her daughter arrived at the market, she immediately observed vendors inside and outside the market. Just like me, every day I observed many people even I don't want to do. One of my hobby is observing people, well I don't know why but that's what I feel. The daughter observed one vendor at a time, and she listens to what they say and how they sell their products to the customers. And because of her age, she's too young to handle such hard work and determination, but small business like selling pineapple ice cream is a best way and best example towards business. As she observed, she thinks, and finally come up an idea on how she will sell her pineapple ice cream in the public. Based on my experience, when I was a kid before, I always find things that are interesting around my house and in the school . That's why she immediately come up an idea to innovate her pineapple ice cream. The fact that at a young age, children has better imaginations than we are today, and they can create creative things and better ideas. Children also has a better memory than adults. And children can make and solve immediately a problem , and makes the best solution to answer a specific problem. As the daughter come up an idea she went home immediately, and she get her materials like crayons and paper, and start making her idea, by drawing a pineapple ice cream and some text on it. Her idea is very impressive, she made a banner herself made from paper and crayons, and put it on the front of her pineapple ice cream bucket as a design and attraction to the customers. But in some cases, in big companies, they usually have more idea than making a banner, they usually come up an idea on advertising their products in the newspaper, advertising their products in the tv, or as well as in the internet so that many people will see and buy their product. Advertising the product is not enough to sell it to the customers, it needs a unique way of introducing the product to the customers. They must present and give their best way of introducing to catch the attention of the customers. It's just like in pitching , we must catch the attention of the customers and the people by saying the value propositions of the business or product they are making. The important things to tell in an advertise.
In the next morning, the daughter go to the market bringing her pineapple ice cream with a banner in front. Not just that, she learned how to sales talk , how to convince and communicate her customers to buy her pineapple ice cream. She didn't give up and she try her best, and the result is positive, her innovation works, and finally she is able to sell her new snow-ice pineapple ice cream. Creating that idea, she can be an example to the people who losses hope and give up that they never become successful in life. Her first success is just the new beginning of finding new opportunities in the near future. And it helps her in her studies that making her own innovation and selling her pineapple ice cream, give her an experienced to handle big problems in the future and giving them best solutions to overcome. If people nowadays, as this young girl, work hard and have dedication to overcome their problems, there is always a way to become the impossible be possible in various ways and hard work. Her daughter really want to help her mother in business, and now she finally did it, and day by day, she sells and improve her communication skills to get customers. And day by day, she gathered experiences , and make new friends out of it. This is business, when you strive hard then you can be successful, but if you just give up and losses hope, you can see the bright future of success. Every day, the daughter may enhanced his abilities and capabilities in selling her pineapple ice cream, not just that, as she experienced it ,as she go to college or even graduated in college, she has a bright future towards business with his creative ideas and imaginations. For me, if she doing it until she graduated in college, not just helping her mother, but she can learned many things, new ideas and new experiences throughout her studies . And she can improve her innovation if she really want to become successful in life. Her mother is very special to her, but her mother is very happy seeing her daughter develops business techniques and help her to earn money. Both of them works hard and her daughter works and focuses also in her studies. They both become successful in life, with the happiness and love they share to each other, and the time they spend to overcome their struggles and problems. I really appreciated the effort of her daughter because she is the one who is willing to help her family especially her mother despite of hard work and paper works in her school , and she is willing to sacrifice in order to work and earn for their family. Time goes by, after the success of her snow-ice pineapple ice cream, she already had a bicycle carry with a bunch of pineapple ice cream to help her transport immediately and go to place in an instant rather than walking and sell her delicious pineapple ice cream to everyone. For me, I can see her progress just an instant as she started selling it by travelling via walking to place to place, her pineapple business become successful and she bought a bicycle to help her travel and sell. She is a great daughter by working hard and helping her mother.
After all the hard work of her daughter, the mother is very happy to see her daughter become successful in her innovation in making snow ice pineapple ice cream. For me, every parent will become proud at their children if at early stage their children become successful in life and in the future, they will improve their capabilities and skills towards business. Her daughter learned many experiences through her hard work and dedication in helping her mother to sell and earn money to live on. Even she's too young in balancing her studies and selling her snow ice pineapple ice cream, she didn't lose focus in her studies, and keeping high grades. I am very proud of her, as well as having a creative mind and thinking skills of making simple innovation by observing other people in the community and especially in a market. I really appreciate what she did for her family especially to her mother, despite their state of living, they don't lose hope, and they find solution to overcome their problems. Her daughter become happy communicating to other children, as she able to solve problems on her own by observing them every day. Her mother smiled at her daughter seeing her as a beautiful and hard working child and student. And her daughter smiled back at her, realizing that her mother is very proud of her. And her mother thinking at the moment and saying to herself, if in the future, if she gets old and it's time to leave her daughter, she will be happy because her mother know that she will be fine because her daughter has become a successful person already. Even her mother is now old, she is ready and she know that her daughter will become her greatest achievement of being successful because of her mother do sacrifices for her. We all know that our parent's goal is that their children will study hard until they finished college, and find a good job, and earned many experiences, so that we will become a good example to everyone and making our parent's proud.
I learned many things in the short video clip. First of all, there is no problem that cannot be solved, if we just strive like the mother and her daughter we can discover new ways to fix our problems in life. Her daughter is a great example of young children nowadays, because at an early age, they can observe and experiences in making simple and great innovations to help their families and their self to become successful in life as they grow up. Making a simple innovation is a good start in making a small business and put your dedication and passion to it, so that time goes by, it will grow rapidly if we work for it, develop it, and maintain it. Having a broad mind in understanding your surroundings is a way to think creatively and make some simple ideas out of your observation and your experiences and someday, we will become the best in the world, being a successful person with great ideas that can contribute to the community.
