What makes your decision?

Sometimes it is better to be kind than to be right. Last week, while retrieving Self Learning Kits (SLKs) for Junior High schools, I have seen their eyes being tired with the situation they are in, just to get through with their studies. The educational system that we are in right now seems to be...(heaved a deep sigh) When I picked up their new SLKs, I am not sure of what will I do, will I just let the SLKs sit there and have it distributed the following day or will I tell them that have to picked it up so that they can finish early? But then... There has been no weekends for them. School time is not from 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM, now it beyond those hours. It is very tiring for them, I always asked them how was it, did they finished everything and they will tell me, "ma'am, it is hard!" So, what was my decision? I told them they can just picked it up, when they are okay to do their SLKs. Then another situation came. With the road clearing, there has been arguments about this certain owner of the plant box that has to be demolished, and after few days, she said yes with one condition, if possible, the team who are assigned for the clearing, can leave those branches of mango for now and cut those branches when they are ready to be picked. One official said, no.. Law is law. And this woman is not a voter of this community. I said, let's leave those branches for now, it won't take two weeks before they are ready to be picked. CAN WE JUST BE HUMAN AND BE CONSIDERATE? Yes, she is not a voter here, but she is living/residing here. I know i am quite soft-hearted, but... I won! My point was taken.
