Never lose hope

THE EAR - The Freeman
March 26, 2014 | 12:00am

HOPE. During a symposium of high school students in a local university, one speaker said: "You must never lose hope...for hope springs eternal." Another speaker, also speaking on the subject of hope, quoted Martin Luther as saying: "Everything that is done in this world is done by hope."

WHISPER. One student whispered to his seatmate: "Mao na bitaw si papa. Sige la'g taya sa lotto ug sige'ng hope nga makadaug. So far not so good." Replied his seatmate: "Usahay too much hope makapordoy."
