About the Author, Dan Jimenez (danmeljim)+ + Born in Binmaley, Pangasinan. Grew up in Galas, Quezon City. A graduate of PMA Class of 1977, married to the only woman he has ever loved who bore him 2 daughters and a son. All wonderful human beings. These thoughts reflect the search that one day will end. And that the greatest failure is the one never attempted. Life and other non-essentials as viewed from afar yet always with an open mind.+ + + Preface + The written word cast its spell early in my life with Ingkong's introduction. Thoughts and ideas came alive and breathed on their own to tickle those who agreed and those who did not. The syntheses of ideas even in the most vehement and venomous ways strengthened the resolve to be better and to dig deeper into the rationale of life regardless of the seeming futility of the quest. I relished the exchange. As vanity dictated, attention whether negative or positive, was better than being ignored. To matter, one must be loved or be hated. This will be the first of hopefully a series of attempts to be relevant. Age dictates that time is shorter but never insufficient. With the lengthening shadows of twilight, yesterday holds what was the future as tomorrow unfolds the answers long sought for. There is but one request in this journey I invite you to take. These are my truths, my biases and my perceptions. Be not offended by those that run contrary to yours. Be justified in believing otherwise. If by chance, you agree, welcome aboard. As always, in all endeavors I have indulged in, the greatest failure is that never attempted. And to this I sign my name...+ + + Contents My Philippine Military Academy: - p6 1. Masikap Story - p6 2.
