For me, Manuel L. Quezon has a concerned to the Government of the Philippines. In his speech we are surrounded by friendly nations that and he believe, entertain no untoward designs against us. It shall be to our lasting benefit to maintain these friendly relations, avoiding every act that may disturb them or which may entangle us in the quarrels of others. After we shall have attained the full stature of independence, he trust that our foreign policy shall be fair and just to all nations, granting special privileges to no one, and seeking none for ourselves. To attain these aims, it is imperative to fashion the culture and character of the people.

The Filipino of today is soft, easy-going, based on him. His tendency is towards parasitism. He is uninclined to sustained strenuous effort. On the speech thai I've read, self-restraint is not an active power in us, besides we are truly facing an emergency an that emergency is real. It is at hand. Unless we bring out and use all the energies of which we are capable, we shall not for long enjoy the blessings of liberty and peace.

Today the Filipino is a sad and unimaginative man, perhaps because he has been too long subjected to foreign domination. His sadness is reflected in his speech and his songs. They are of renunciation and disappointment. If we regenerate his spirit and change his outlook, his songs will be of joy, his paintings of glory, his stories of achievement. Let us endow him with optimism sand valor, and with the love of adventure of his forebears.

According to his speech, to insure the accomplishment of this task of national spiritual reconstruction, we shall formulate and adopt a social code—a code of ethics and personal conduct—a written Bushido—that can be explained in the schools, preached from the pulpits, and taught in the streets and plazas, and in the remotest corners of our land. We shall indoctrinate every man, woman, and child in its precepts.

We are known for our placidity and passivity. We shall be a full of lie, of hope, of faith, and of strength. Through self-discipline we shall harness all our energies, so that our power, spreading over and breath of this Land will develop its resources, advance its culture, secure social justice, give puissance to the Nation, and insure happiness and contentment for all the people, under the ægis of liberty and peace.

So in the end of this paragraph, everyone should have a self-dicipline for themselves, so on other peoples of the world are straining themselves to attain higher levels of progress and national security. We shall not lag behind.

"There you have two men -one who made himself and the other who wasted his opportunities, the self-made man and the self-unmade man".
