1. Wars are not inevitable, therefore are avoidable.
2. Concealment of your emotions is the way to escape conflict.
3. Stand for what is right, even if what is right leads to injustice and risk to human welfare.
4. It is fun to suffer: Filipinos stay poor because they enjoy experiencing poverty.
5. Fighting back is a sign of immaturity.
6. Aspire for a mature life: think, behave, and act like an adult. Do not mingle with the childish and the childlike.

8. In living a goal-driven life, there’s no room for enjoyment.
9. Do not admit that you’re vulnerable, even if it is obvious.
10. Sharing your life to a limited number of people is not a sign of fear of a bigger world.
11. Live out your principles; everything else is nothing but bunch of craps.

17. Personal judgment is not a form of attack.
18. Do not seek for personal growth: reject new ideas and become the living proof that your philosophy works.
