My photo of red Hibiscus (gumamela) flowers.
I used my photo of red Hibiscus rosa sinensis or gumamela flower in our local dialect(Filipino language). It is resembles a happy person, so red, so vibrant in hue. Gumamela flower has been my “avatar” in my other blog sites. I use it here in Literacybase.com so friends could recognize me. And what is the relation with my my topic about life?
Just like a healthy gumamela plant; a person can be beautiful inside and outside if nurtured with love and care. If a person will always think that life is short, so he should enjoy each day as if it is his last.
Be Like a Beautiful Flower
Be like the beautiful flower, show your beauty and goodness of your soul by being positive in every aspect of life. Show refined character. The way you speak, how you mingle with people or how you react to given situations will reflect what kind of a person you are. When you remain composed when problems arise, people will notice how well you can handle and solve whatever burden that comes your way.
Think Positively
Do not worry so much. Let small creases in life pass, and do not let it affect you and weigh you down. A person who always think of negative things tend to attract negative things. But if he shows a smile on his face, even when faced with life’s challenges, everything would be so light to carry on.
Being positive in life makes other people be like one; they tend to reciprocate such goodness in numerous ways. Being good gives you rewards. It will make you realize that life can be very beautiful just by having a positive outlook. One can be like a beautiful flower and enjoy the admiration of other people. This way, life can be more meaningful. Though it is short, it is a well-lived one, and people will always cherish your name.

This is a nice piece on life. One thing is that life has to be lived for a purpose. No one was born without a purpose on earth. The issue is if the tinest ant have a purpose on earth hence its exsitance on earth then we must know we also have. Do you know that the ant as tiny as also fear death, respect authority, knows the weather, feels danger and understand unity? Take time to study them.
Thank you Raphael for reading this post and also to your meaningful comment. Yes, everyone on earth has a purpose, even insects like ants. It is best that we respect and understand each other living being; or even plants or animals because they too have lives and have a purpose for their being.
Very well said, my friend.
Did you know too that gumamemla or hibiscus is also now being added to a veggie salad? Actually @thelme at the other site posted about her salad with a hibiscus flower as one of its ingredients. I cannot imagine the taste, though I also believe that it can be delicious in addition to the other ingredients she mentioned.
And the other Saturday, I saw in Salamat Dok a nutritionist who taught how to make a salad with hibiscus and yes rose petals (i forgot what's the edicble one). Sooner or later, this kind of salad will already be done by chefs on restaurants. I can't wait to taste it actually.
Going back to its comparison in making our life be at the fullest, all of us should we want can really have a life as beautiful as hibiscus. If one can only have simple needs and lives simply, she can already live at the fullest. You see, disappointments are what makes our lives sad. So when we don't have a high expectations in life or just live simply, we can already be happy in simple things, thus our lives will always be beautiful.
Thanks Dina for your very well-written reply; could be good for a blog post! ha ha ha! Yes, if a person will have simple aspirations, simple way of life, everything will be easier to attain. No, stress, no fears, no doubts. Just enjoy life.
