I am sharing a lesson I learnt from the simple people this 48th Independence day here in PNG https://lnkd.in/gmxFJKYN

Today, on National Indigenous Peoples Day, we celebrate the rich and diverse cultures of First Nation, Metis and Inuit people across the province. We're committed to honouring and respecting the traditions and cultures of the 20 First Nations and two Métis Settlement lands and traditional territories on which we operate.

On July 4th we celebrate the courage of those men and women who embraced the idea of freedom and indepedence and sacrificed much to earn it. It took over seven years from the time the Declaration of Independence was signed until the day the British surrendered, but those in the halls of Congress, and those who rallied behind such a powerful ideal didn't know how long the task would last. Today we are honored and inspired by those same "self- evident" truths to continue building a more perfect Union, no matter how long the task will take. Happy Indepedence Day! #independenceday #transformers #distributiontransformers #fieldservices #temporarypower #circulareconomy #sustainability #rentalpower

Honoring Courage and Sacrifice: The Celebration of Philippine National Heroes Day In the heart of the Philippines, a nation rich in history and valor, one day stands out as a time to remember and celebrate the individuals who have shaped the destiny of the archipelago. Philippine National Heroes Day, observed on the last Monday of August, is a poignant reminder of the courage, sacrifice, and unwavering love for the country that defines the character of its national heroes. Philippine National Heroes Day is not just a historical observance; it is a unifying force that brings together the diverse cultural and regional communities that make up the Philippines. It serves as a reminder that the struggles faced by the heroes were not confined to a specific area but affected the entire nation. The celebration transcends geographical boundaries, fostering a sense of camaraderie and shared responsibility among Filipinos. In a world where historical narratives can sometimes be forgotten or overshadowed, the observance of Philippine National Heroes Day serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by those who paved the way for the nation's prosperity. It is a day to honor their legacy by fostering unity, encouraging civic participation, and inspiring the next generation to carry the torch of heroism forward.

NOT SHAMEFUL TO REMEMBER Memories of war enable our society to remember the past, to express appreciation to those who sacrificed their lives and willingly served our country. At the same time we also need to acknowledge and accept that on occasions, events and happenings from the past, which would be considered unnecessary today, occurred for significant and highly acceptable reasons. Those of us today should never feel guilt nor shame for these actions, which some are constantly demanding that we do. This is why we, as Australians, come together every ANZAC Day. We do it to commemorate the ANZAC’s and their achievements: we should remember them though, not as old soldiers from a forgotten war, but as the young Australians each of them were in 1915, when they left our shores to defend Australia. Remembering moments from our history allows us as a society to learn from them and to move forward in a positive and determined manner. We cannot change history and nor should we, but we can and should learn from it. Australians young and old, will always remember them.

Education is everything.

Pray these prayer points today: 1. I repent from using my tongue to slander or cause scandal. 2. My words will be seasoned with praise and grace. 3. I prophesy and decree that I will enjoy supernatural peace, power, progress, prosperity, provision, productivity, protection, and prolonged life. https://lnkd.in/dT8fBVYM

This moment is temporary If life is not how you expected it to be, it is up to you to take action to change that. It starts with deciding how you want life to be and then take the smallest of steps necessary to move towards it. The ability to change things can only start with you. #bepresent #enjoytoday #selfbelief #peace #TurningPoint #shorts https://lnkd.in/eXjMUNQ6
