Answer:

Similar to the given content, as a human being, there are certain cases
wherein I am not consistent with what I am saying towards my actions. I also
break promises, which can lead me to have that thought of "igo ra sa sulti
wala sa buhat".

For example, last June, before the start of summer 2022, I planned to
save up money for a gym membership because I wanted to exercise and lose
some weight. I’ve been gaining weight beyond the normal weight that I must
be. Months of summer have passed and I still haven't gone to the gym and
have spent all of my money on unnecessary things that cause me to gain
weight. I was too lazy to get up in the morning and exercise. I did self-at-
home exercise for a few weeks before the start of the new school year. Hence,
there’s a slight significant change, but still I was bothered by the thought that
I hadn’t made it to the goals that I wanted.

That situation has taught me lessons that will help me live a more ethical
life. Like everyone else, I am always trying to exercise my ethical life because
I want to live a consistent life without compromising others' reputations. By
knowing my limitations and boundaries, I can avoid chaos. In that case, it
somehow makes my life more meaningful and worthwhile.

Consistency is the key towards success. By dedicating my whole life

towards what I am passionate about in reaching my goals and paying enough
attention to what I am saying and doing, it will surely make me the person I
want and deserve to be.
