In a sentence, write your most important takeaway from the Magisterial Lecture. by Mario R.

We are who we are, and we can define ourselves from others simply because of their existence. I am me, and they are themselves. Yet despite the differences that define and separate us from others, it's inevitable that we share common factors with others. Hence, it's our interaction with those around us leading to our own life experiences, that truly reveals who we are. ]]> 2021-04-23 06:21:33 UTC https://padlet.com/mechano/z4yrpigaowphw1ju/wish/1450630055 Sean Chua https://padlet.com/mechano/z4yrpigaowphw1ju/wish/1450635714 Understanding becomes superficial and incomplete without immersion and experience.

However, Dra. Angeles challenged this with a good point— the "bulaga" game.  Although the pursuit to discover the "I" is a journey that is only for the self, it can only be captured by the key concept of "experiences", and our own experiences are inseparable to how we interact with other people. Hence, the importance of "others" in discovering the "self".]]> 2021-04-28 14:33:24 UTC https://padlet.com/mechano/z4yrpigaowphw1ju/wish/1469322712 Jacinto Maliwat https://padlet.com/mechano/z4yrpigaowphw1ju/wish/1472191404
The most important takeaway I got is to always support our dynamic life with reflection and building strong relationships truly matters. Dr. Angeles together with Mr. Spack, Aristotle are one in saying that a  reflective life leads us to thrive well.
