“Substantial progress was made in spreading our foreign trade to other areas. Our total trade with Northwest Europe in the first 8 months of last year was 42.3 per cent above the corresponding period the year previous, and our total trade with Asia was up 13.5 per cent. For the first time since 1919, the United States in the first 8 months of 1956 accounted for less than 60 percent of our total trade.” YearsFirstsMadeStatesLastsUnitedUnited StatesProgressMonthsPeriodsPercentFirst TimeEuropeAreasTradeCentsLast YearAsiaCorrespondingForeign Trade Author:Ramon Magsaysay

“Third, and finally, the educated citizen has an obligation to uphold the law. This is the obligation of every citizen in a free and peaceful society--but the educated citizen has a special responsibility by the virtue of his greater understanding.

“Ten years have now passed since many of us first felt the jolt of history-when the second plane crashed into the South Tower of the World Trade Center.

“Walking your path doesn't mean you don't hurt, it means the pain is worth the progress. Sometimes you have to break something down in order to remake it, and that includes yourself, or it did for me. There were moments when I wept for an easier road, but in the end I would not trade my path for anyone else's. It is mine and the traveling of it has made me who I am, and continues to shape and remold me into the best, happiest, most productive, most playful me, I've ever been.” MeanMadeEndsSometimesMomentsPainOrderHurtBreakPathProgressMinesWalkingEasierShapesTradeWho I AmProductiveRemakes Author:Laurell K.
