1. Who is Rizal to me?
Jose Protacio Rizal Mercado y Alonso Realonda. This man, the hero of our country, the Philippines.
Rizal was the type of person to be great and intelligent enough to excel and finish his studies while taking part on other fields that may or may not be related to his study. He was special. He was a genius by nature. He craved for more knowledge. He wanted to know more about the surroundings and the thing happening. He was curious, in way that he wanted answers.
As child, Rizal was the still the typical kid who played with his brother and sisters and was taught virtues and great devotion as a devout Catholic. At an early age, Rizal already was aware of the injustices of the people.
As a lover, loving and being able to be in a relationship with girls of different kinds, he was the frustrated lover or even the hopeless romantic. To sum it up, before he got married, and regarding the fact that he had an eleven-year relationship with his ex-girlfriend, his love life was somehow a failure. Some of his literary works were even based on his love life, how he got dumped and how he felt for that someone.
Jose P. Rizal used his works as a pathway for the people especially for the youth. He served as inspiration for the future of the country. Surely, many people now adored his patriotism as he really fought for the country.
I wonder, if Rizal hasn’t been brave, or even wasn’t that smart, would the people before be aware of the mistreatment of the Spaniards to the countrymen? I guess not. The Katipunan perhaps couldn’t even be established.
Rizal’s intelligence was far beyond excellence. He had a wide range of ideas. And he wanted to use these ideas to save the lives of his co-citizens from the exploitation of the Spaniards. He became the influence of the people and the savior of the countrymen who were cowards. And this became the foundation of the Revolution and the beginning of the fight against the evil.
2. What is his inner personality? State your justification.
According to what I have observed from knowing unto his life, Rizal obviously had strengths on his “head”. It was more dominant on his personality. It was then followed by his “heart”. It lurked on his sub-consciousness. Lastly, his “guts”, it remains unconscious. It was his weakness.
Rizal had dominance on his head. His head was his strength. Ever since he was young, he had potentials using his brain and mind. We wanted to know more, he wanted to attain more knowledge. In every curiosity he had, he somehow never stopped without getting an answer. With his young mind, he was a thinker. He observed the things around him making him be aware of the blasphemy of the Spaniards turning to the point that as he grew up, he wanted to find keys to rescue the lives of his fellow citizens.
He had sub-dominance on the heart. It was easy for him to express his emotions and what he really feels. This was clearly obvious from his writings and literary pieces. As he was studying, his primary inspiration was his motherland and as well his family. He was the kind of son that wanted what’s best for his mother. As a child he was participative enough to know different fields of study. As he was studying, he too was confident on his works knowing that it was right for him to do so.
And lastly, his weakness in his guts. Rizal was somehow cowardly because he couldn’t face the Spaniards personally. He fought using a pen or a quilt. He couldn’t join the revolt against the Spaniards as he doesn’t want blood to be shed. He feared failure too. He was scared by the instances that his works will be forgotten in the future. [pic]

The writer, as I can assess, is not an anti-Rizal one. Rather, he is just trying to inculcate how important is the necessity of looking into a much deeper sense, the attributes of a real and true hero…the factors that should be considered so as to call someone, a hero. Is it because he died for our country? Or is it because he had enough courage to…

True enough, even at an early age, Rizal had already discovered that ignorance was detrimental to a relationship between rulers and their subjects – it generates corruption which leads to fallacy, fantacism, intolerance, and greed. For him, education was the solution to the poisonous effects of such to the wellness of the country and its people. Being a man of knowledge, however, is not enough for one to be a substantial leader. Character is also needed in carrying out the moral responsibilities due to a leader. Fortunately, Rizal was both intellectually gifted, having mastered 22 languages and being a versatile genius in many fields; and strong in character, as he possessed oustanding traits like courage, devotion to truth, integrity, selflessness, and loyalty. Having realized the demands of leadership as a tool for social transformation, Rizal devoted his life in honing his skills and character so that, one day, he could “participate in the…

Dr. Jose Protacio Rizal Mercado y Alonzo Realonda, our national hero who is known for his nationalism and patriotism usually come side by side with these words; the doctor, the writer, the philosopher, the clairvoyant, and most of all the hero who died for the country. More than a hundred and fifty years ago, that hero was born and history says that he was the one who revolutionized a new uprising. Not through the literal bloody and violent revolutionary way but by unravelling the skeletons in the colonizers closet through his works and writings. Though he died in the hands of the colonizers, he fought the bloodless way and sparked the spirit of nationalism of the Filipino as an individual.…

Rizal’s appeal for education was not contrary to Spain’s aim at Christianizing the Filipinos. Rizal warned Spain against the possible outcome that may arise from denying the people the benefits of education. The enriching events of Rizal’s study abroad made him see how education could bring social progress. And this he directed toward the development of national sentiment. Rizal’s desire to share with his people what he had learned during his studies in Spain, France, Germany and his observations in London and Belgium became his supreme…

Jose Rizal is our national hero but seriously i don’t know a lot about him. But when I watched the film about Dr. Jose Rizal I was shocked and amazed because of his sacrifice for our country. I though the he was a brilliant individual. He served as an inspiration to all Filipino. During his lifetime, he spent many years outside the Philippines, enriching himself through education, especially in Madrid, Spain. The distance did not diminish nor reduce his love for his country. Far from his motherland, he looked across the seas to find its strength, as well as its weaknesses, in order to uplift it from the abuses of foreign rule.…

Rizal is not only a man with first-class decisions and answers; he is also superior in giving solutions to the social cancer brought about by Spanish imposition. I greatly admire his way of finding education as a first step towards independence; it was a simple answer of providing leverage and advantage for his fellowmen who are entitled to fit such solution. Education was to enlighten them on the best course of action to be taken when the time comes when they have finally grasp what it means to be totally free of a bondage that has maimed them for centuries. credential…

Of all the things I have learned in our humble university, none of it I treasure more than the ability to see things objectively and contextually. I used to be a brash and outspoken young man always quick to make assumptions and always fiery with passion for what I deemed was right; even when all I had was a premature conclusion. I brought this attitude here in our university and was quickly humbled by men and women that maintained their calm and adhered to logic, not sudden whims and misguided passion. This, I said to myself is what I wish to become. I resolutely set to change my ways and actions. To some degree I think I have succeeded. But improving oneself is a continuous and endless process that every individual must aim for. Even our venerated national hero was not the product of biological perfection and natural wisdom. He slowly, meticulously improved himself with every mistake he made, with every book he read. Like you and me, he is a human being that achieved what he did, not because he is special or was destined by some great prophecy, but because he worked for it. A good example would be in the field of language. He did not become a polyglot naturally; language did not come easy to him. It was the product of a diligent and willful learning process. In his letters to his sister, he expostulated that while in Germany, he had a hard time learning the native tongue. He didn’t…
