A father said to his daughter 🤠 "You just graduated, this is a car I bought a while ago... It is a few years old. But before I give it, take it to a car dealer in the city and sell it , see how much they offer.”

The girl came back to her father and said: "They offered 1000 euros because it looks very old"
The father said: Hold it and take it to the 2nd hand car dealer.

The girl returns to her father and says: "The pawn shop offered 100 euros because it is a very old car and lots of investments are needed to drive it again"

A father asked his daughter to join a passionate car club with experts and show them the car. The girl drove the car to the passionate car club, turned and said to her father: “Some people in the club offered me 100,000 euros because it is a rare car that is in good condition, with great capabilities and super difficult to find.”🤗

Then the father said, "I wanted to let you know that you are not worth anything if you are not in the right place." If you are not appreciated, do not be angry, that means you are in the wrong place. "Don't stay in a place where no one sees your value 😉."

Because of the ill effects of worry, Jesus tells us not to worry about those needs that God promises to supply. Worry may
(1) damage your health,
(2) disrupt your productivity,
(3) negatively affect the way you treat others, and
(4) reduce your ability to trust in God.
How many ill effects of worry are you experiencing? Here is the difference between worry and genuine concern—worry immobilizes, but concern moves you to action.

Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? Matthew 6:25-27 KJV

"Uitați-vă la el, are 44 de ani și o familie frumoasă, este la ora actuală ULTIMUL BĂRBAT ADEVĂRAT DIN LUME, singurul om care nu a fugit din fața agresorului rus!

Putea să umple un avion cu bani și să plece din Ucraina, nu a făcut-o, putea să stea ascuns într-un buncăr, nu a făcut-o, putea să predea țară rușilor, nu a facut-o.

Peste 48 de ore, omul acesta poate să nu mai fie, însă , ceea ce a făcut el pentru tara lui, nu a făcut nimeni de la cel de-al doilea război mondial!

….....…............…...................................................

Asta e lumea secolului nostru, unii mor pentru libertate , alții își bat joc de ea!

Zelinski ultimul erou al Europei!

On February 20, 1975, Primitivo Mijares, former president of the National Press Club and former chairman of the Media Advisory Council, defected from the Marcos regime. A year later, he published his book, "The Conjugal Dictatorship of Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos," an exposé on the Marcos presidency.

Mijares was a campus journalist during his high school days. In 1950, he became the youngest editor of Baguio's biggest newspaper then, the Baguio Midland Courier. The following year, he became a full-fledged reporter for the Manila Chronicle. He developed a close relationship with President Marcos when he covered the president's activities for the said newspaper. He soon became Marcos' chief propagandist, writing articles aimed to convince Filipinos that martial law was necessary to reform the society and to fight against the communist insurgency. He even wrote a press release about the "ambush" of Juan Ponce Enrile, Defense Secretary of the Marcos administration, before the actual event happened. The ambush pushed Marcos to declare Martial Law.

When the Philippines Daily Express reopened after the declaration of Martial Law, Marcos selected Mijares as the newspaper's presidential reporter. He ran for the position of president of the National Press Club (NPC) and won unopposed. As president of the NPC, he automatically became the chairman of the Media Advisory Council. He was paid well for his services, and his family lived the good life.

Soon enough, Mijares began seeing the dark side of the Marcos regime. In an interview with the Reno Gazette-Journal published on July 5, 1975, he claimed, "Over a series of months, I got a series of instructions to allow his cronies to take over certain television and newspaper establishments... The previous owners have not been paid one single centavo of compensation... I felt guilty allowing all Marcos' friends to take over for nothing." He also claimed that Marcos ordered him to investigate Arnold Zeitlin, an American journalist, on the charge of violation of ethics of journalism, but that the charge had no basis. Marcos singled out Zeitlin because the latter was writing articles that were uncomplimentary to him and his regime. An outcry from the American press forced Marcos to back down.

In September 1974, Mijares was sent to the United States to set up a meeting between Imelda Marcos and the Philippine refugees in the US. At the last second, Mrs. Marcos backed out. Feeling used by the Marcos couple, he decided not to return to the Philippines. On June 17, 1975, he appeared before a US House International Relations subcommittee to testify claims of bribery, corruption and fraud against Marcos and his administration. He also claimed that on the night prior to his testimony, Marcos asked him not to continue with it. Cabinet Secretary Guillermo De Vega then offered him $50,000 as a bribe. The next day, Philippine Consul General Trinidad Alconel informed Mijares that the bribe had been increased to $100,000. Mijares rejected the bribe.

In 1976, he published his book, "The Conjugal Dictatorship of Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos," which exposed the excesses of the Marcos dictatorship. The book was banned in the Philippines while Marcos was still in power.

In January 1977, Mijares was last seen boarding a flight from Guam to the Philippines. After that, he was never seen or heard from again. In the same year, his youngest son, Luis Manuel, was kidnapped, tortured and killed. The 16-year old's mangled body was found two weeks after his abduction.
