Get What You Want & Want What You Get

[junayag]

getting and wanting are two different perspectives....how do you correlate?

[hazel]

get what you want??? as of now, I get what I need...

[junayag]

getting what you want derives motivation out of a need.... and wanting what you get could be putting interest to what you have...

[hazel]

ikaw jud sir...imo jud ko pahuna-hunaon...hehehe ma utingkay ahong stock (up) knowledge sa imong threads.

[junayag]

but it is a nice feeling ginger di ba when you get encounter people who speak the same language? it is in TB that I admire a lot of intellectuals...

[hazel]

yes, I and ms da binsi were even talking about wanting to have lunch with you in another thread...hahaha

[junayag]

what could that be??? any special thread in mind? interactive?....what made me one are your genuiness, candidness...

[C2H4]

Wanting is passive, getting is active.

A guy may want a girl with all his heart and soul, but If he doesn't do anything about it, he'll never get her. 

[hazel]

no, we were just posting in the Q and A board. http://tubagbohol.mikeligalig.com/index.php?topic=4112.0

[junayag]

ok gals...

wanting what you get have tendencies for reduced sense of satisfaction.... hence, one need to infuse a desire to use what you have productively...

[C2H4]

Sometimes, Mr Junayag, we also have to examine if we want something for the right reasons.

When I was in college, uso kaayo tong Levis 501, I was obsessed with getting a pair. It seemed that everyone had one, ako ra ang wala. I wanted it so bad pero dili man ko ka afford kay wala man ko'y kuarta.

Then pag abot na nako dire, nag shopping mi sa akong cuzin sa Gilroy, CA, where the outlet stores are ridiculously cheap, esp. with their season sale prices. When we went to the Levi's store, I saw that they had their 501's at 75% off! I didn't buy one. To this day, wala pa gyud katilaw ning akong sampot ug Levi's. 

I realized that I wanted those jeans before because I knew I couldn't afford it. When we can't have something, we want it more. Do we want something because we really, truly want it? Or do we merely want it because we know we can't? 

[junayag]

it is craving out of fad...what i would like to drive is to use this line to motivate people in working for what they really what to get in life and wanting what they have for a continuous need... for a long term...for if this want is shortlived... the efforts would become senseless....

[Bambi]

Human in nature are always not satisfied of what he gets.  Just an example:  "Ang baboy sa ato bisag galukdo na ug ta-i mangita pa gjod ug la-ing tai." (sorry, for the words)

[junayag]

it differs when we put ourselves in the right frame of mind... but wanting and not getting shows some lapses in decision making....

C2H4: sakit mana uy.... sakit gyud! i know how it feels. especially when that something is a somebody!!! hu hu hu hu!

[Melrose]

To Jun and everybody:

Here's a poem by Nikki Giovanni, an African American Poet. Many many years ago, this used to be my favorite poem because it really pierced my heart. (saddist!!! ha ha! ) It spoke loudly what I felt inside. It's a sad poem but it speaks of  realities- the limited choices we have in this journey we call life. 

CHOICES

If i can't do
what i want to do
then my job is to not
do what i don't want
to do


It's not the same thing
but it's the best i can
do


If i can't have
what i want . . . then
my job is to want
what i've got
and be satisfied
that at least there
is something more to want


Since i can't go
where i need
to go . . . then i must . . . go
where the signs point
through always understanding
parallel movement
isn't lateral


When i can't express
what i really feel
i practice feeling
what i can express
and none of it is equal


I know
but that's why mankind
alone among the animals
learns to cry

What I want is what I dont need; and what I get is what I need.

-Geoffrey F. Abert-

[ms da binsi]

Ambot ninyo oi! mabuang ko anang injong want diha... all i know i got what i wanted,and what i want to get are those i would need sama sa tide para labada ugma, fertilizer sa akong mga bulak, etc.

[C2H4]

@Mr Junayag: I remember a line from Coelho's The Alchemist, "If you want something bad enough, all the universe conspires for you to get it", or somewhere along those lines. Sorry kung dili nko ma quote word for word, dugay na to nga panahon. Anyways, I agree. If someone truly wants something, he will do everything in his power to get it. If he doesn't pour his heart and soul into getting it, then it must mean he doesn't want it that bad, does it?  

@Ms Melrose: I so loved the poem, bisan heartbreaking kaayo basahon. We can't make someone love us. Sad...but true. Mao na mo agree pud ko ni Ms Melrose, there are some things in life, that although we want soooo bad, we just can't have. Esp. if our "want" involves other people, then getting what we want becomes subject to the laws of the universe. It is out of our hands.  

[C2H4]

@ms da binsi: korek! bwahahahaha! makalabad sa ulo ning mga want, want, want 

@lorenzo: you want what you don't need, except siguro sa Love dodong...you want it and you need it. We all do. Although, in denial pa man ning atong dodong nga dili pa sya gusto mag GF...hehehe! joke lang dong! 

[..yadz..]

[Sigbin II]

getting and wanting are two different perspectives....how do you correlate?

Getting what one wants is taking action to accomplish one's objective, irrespective of whether this is a want or a need.  Wanting what one gets is contentment with one's situation in life, some people would call it complacency.

[C2H4]

^very well said, Mr Sigbin...you have effectively said what I wanted...nope, tried to say very ineffectively 

[ms da binsi]

Amen pod ko ni sigbin...

[junayag]

am so amazed with all your inputs.... the statement is more of a motivational line on positive values....it is about firm conviction... keep on believing and working till it will happen...

[Sigbin II]

Amen pod ko ni sigbin...

Ayaw la'g amen, Belle.  Makaingnan ko'g tiguwang ana.

[ms da binsi]

wahahhahahaahhahhah dili oi! amen lang gud kay uyon ba!!!

[junayag]

when a person gets what he wanted, the satisfaction level deteriorates...that would lead to wastage... through "get what you want and want what you get" this would motivate us to keep the same level of satisfaction or even enhance it for maximum usability....

[Lorenzo]

The pretext of "Getting what you want and wanting what you get" should be the figurative language that symbolizes our relationship with the Almighty. The undying link between creator and created--and our eternal need for His love and grace.

[ms da binsi]

Unsa gud ka Insoy nag pari ka o nag Doctor ka diha sa imong school???

[Bambi]

I think  he is blessed into two.....he gets what he wants and vice versa.

[hazel]

Bran is like a hungry dog...he can't get enough of both. *joke*

[C2H4]

Grabe gi sungog gyud si dong Lorenzo 

[junayag]

Bran Lorenz, you're exquisitely articulate...

[ms da binsi]

[Happy]

I didn't get all that I want, because some of it I don't need so it will be useless..

mao ra nay akong ikasulti kay hagbong manko sa IQ ug EQ

[Bambi]

I get along with few good reliable friends....it is wanting, and get their trust what I want.

Maybe, i must have also to ge what I want but the thing i want the friendster but get not enough Photos.  Let us see!

[ms da binsi]

[Lorenzo]

Bran Lorenz, you're exquisitely articulate...

Im a learner, Mr. Jun Ayag. I learn from you
Warm regards, Sir!

[Lorenzo]

Unsa gud ka Insoy nag pari ka o nag Doctor ka diha sa imong school???

Gi ask ko ana alot by friends, Ate. Im just a humble student with the same vices as all of us--but I have a strong faith with the Lord--personal reasons; i can tell you about it if you want. PM lang ta, okey?

[ms da binsi]

sure...

[junayag]

Lorenz,
am optimistic that you'll have a very bright future...keep on widening your perspectives and keeping that humility in your heart.. and that you'll make excellent service when your advocacy will always be in positive outlook...

[Lorenzo]

Mr. Jun Ayag, what I do in life is nothing and pales in comparison to what you, my fellow kababayans are able to do. To have that gut motivation to work abroad---and away from your loved ones, friends, families, for such an extended period of time. So that you can provide sustenance and income for family back home in the Philippines. To me, that is the ultimate sacrifice, and anything I do in my life will never ever be as great as that. The Filipina who goes to Europe to work as a domestic worker--and stays there for several months--so she can provide for her family back in the Pilipinas---to me, is humbling and very inspiring. I hear alot of that from the stories what my mum and aunties tell me---and it really does put you back into reality. I would like to someday have that kind of DEDICATION to family and life--as you guys do. You, my Boholano compatriots of TB, are abroad working--

You all should be praised by the children of OFWs, such as myself, for the hard work, and sacrifice you made to provide a better life for your children etc. To me.........that in itself is very powerful.

Regards, Mr. Jun Aag.

[Lorenzo]

Whic goes back to the thread topic.

Hard working, and driven OFWs want to go abroad to provide for the needs of their loved ones in the Phillippines.

[Happy]

humble jud kaayo ni si dodong Bran oi, nindot imong model sa mga pilipino

Whic goes back to the thread topic.

We are all heroes in our own simple and little way

[Ginger]

Unsa gud ka Insoy nag pari ka o nag Doctor ka diha sa imong school???

mag doctor na si dong Insoy, bella coz that's what he wants.
