Strike When Iron Is Hot_ Back to School Slogan

Aiming to enhance my teaching skills every year, I learned to become inventive. In teaching, learning is an active component. Students learn from the teacher and the latter learns from the students as well. The Challenge... Business law is now one board subject. Who said business law subjects are not tedious? Recently Richard Saavedra soared high (TOP 1) in the Accountancy Board Exam raising ADDU's banner. With these developments, what innovations can I suggest as a business law professor. Read, read, read until you cannot ready anymore... this undying slogan remains. My new battle cry 2013 onwards: "When you have an opportunity to do something, do it before you lose your chance. Strike when the iron is hot."

Betrayal

Can an enemy betray you? Absent of trust, an attack of an enemy can rarely be caught off guard. But when betrayal is committed by a friend or a loved one, the consequences would be mentally perturbing. Trust and honesty are both expected in this cherished relationship. Hence breach of trust and loyalty creates devastating impact to the one who valued the relationship so much. Effects of betrayal can be deeply rooted. Time may heal the wounds but the scars will still be engraved. For the person betrayed, it is difficult to explain how betrayal was done. The pain is so overwhelming that the victim could be thwarted from reasonably recounting the painful experience. How about the betrayer? Certainly this person knew the act traverses the boundary of trust and loyalty. Good faith is the usual defense. But can one claim good faith when there is knowledge or awareness that the act can cause grave or irreparable damage to another person who cherish the relationship?
