Education is important, but perseverance and willingness to learn are equally valuable. Let's think. Answer these questions. Which fish raiser inspired you the most? Why? If you were given the chance, what kind
6:58 of fish would you raise? Now, what made these people successful? Let's discover their character traits. One. Determined. Determined people never give up even after storms, losses, or failures. They continue working toward their goals. Example. A fish pond is damaged by heavy rain. Instead of quitting, the owner repairs it and starts again. That's determination. Two. Honest. An people tell the truth
7:46 and admit mistakes. Example, if a fish raiser accidentally forgets to feed the fish, they admit their mistake and immediately correct it. Honesty builds trust. Three, innovative. Innovative means creating better ideas. Example, using automatic fish feeders, using improved fish breeding methods, finding faster ways to harvest fish. Innovation saves time and increases production.
8:32 Four, industrious. Industrious means hardworking. Fish need daily care. They must be fed. Water must be cleaned. Their health must be monitored. Successful fish raisers work consistently every day. Five, risk taker. Starting a business always involves risk. Successful fish raisers carefully study their decisions before investing. They are brave enough to try new opportunities while planning wisely. Being a fish raiser isn't always easy. Some challenges include bad weather,
9:18 fish diseases, expensive fish feeds, water pollution, market competition. But successful fish raisers overcome these problems by learning new techniques, planning carefully, working hard, asking help from experts like BFAR, never giving up. Every challenge becomes an opportunity to learn. Today, we learned that fish raisers are important because they help provide food and income for many Filipino families. Successful fish raisers become successful not only because of their knowledge, but also because of their
10:05 good character. Remember these five important qualities. Determined honest innovative industrious, risk taker. These qualities are useful not only in fish farming, but also in school and everyday life. Ask yourself, what kind of fish would I raise? Where would I build my fish farm? What qualities will help me become successful? Write your answers in your notebook. Thank you for joining today's lesson.
