Top lessons from the book "The Difference Between Advising and Shaming" by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie highlights the distinctions between constructive feedback and harmful criticism.

1. Intent Matters: Advising aims to help and support the person, while shaming intends to belittle and demean. The motivation behind the words significantly impacts how they are received.

2. Respect and Dignity: Effective advice respects the recipient's dignity and self-worth. Shaming, on the other hand, undermines a person's sense of value and can cause emotional harm.

3. Constructive vs. Destructive: Advising provides constructive feedback that can lead to improvement and growth. Shaming is destructive and often leaves the person feeling worse about themselves without a clear path forward.

4. Focus on Behavior, Not Person: Advising addresses specific behaviors or actions and suggests ways to improve them. Shaming attacks the person's character or identity, making it personal and hurtful.

5. Empathy and Understanding: Good advice comes from a place of empathy and understanding. It considers the person's circumstances and feelings. Shaming lacks empathy and often ignores the individual's context.

6. Encouragement vs. Discouragement: Advising encourages and motivates the person to do better. It is supportive and uplifting. Shaming discourages and can lead to a decrease in self-esteem and motivation.

7. Long-term Impact: Advising fosters a positive long-term impact, building trust and encouraging continuous improvement. Shaming can have long-lasting negative effects, damaging relationships and causing emotional scars.

These lessons highlight the importance of delivering feedback with care, empathy, and respect to support and uplift others, rather than tearing them down.

"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

― Frank Herbert, Dune

Noong Nobyembre 10, 1983, pumanaw ang g**o at manunulat na si Paz Marquez Benitez. Isa siya sa mga pinakaunang babaeng manunulat sa bansa, at isa sa mga pinakaunang nagsulat ng mga akdang pampanitikan sa wikang Ingles. Ang kanyang akda na Dead Stars (1925) ang itinuturing na pinakaunang modernong maikling kuwento na sinulat ng isang Pilipino sa Ingles.

Isinilang siya noong Marso 3, 1894 sa pamilya ni Gregorio Marquez at Maria Jurado, dalawang maimpluwensyang g**o galing sa Lucena, Tayabas (na ngayon’y lalawigan ng Quezon). Pagkatapos niyang mag-aral sa Tayabas High School noong 1910, lumipat siya sa Maynila at nag-aral sa noo'y Philippine Normal School (ngayo'y Philippine Normal University). Doon ay nakilala siya dahil sa kanyang kagandahan at pagiging kapitan ng kanilang women's basketball team. Doon na rin niya nakilala ang kanyang naging kabiyak, si Francisco Benitez. Kumuha rin siya ng Bachelor of Arts degree sa University of the Philippines, kung saan isa siya sa mga pinakaunang mga babaeng nagtapos doon noong 1912. Sa parehong taon, itinanghal siya na Manila Carnival Queen at naitampok siya sa iba't ibang mga peryodiko.

Dalawang taon matapos siyang maikasal, bumalik siya sa UP upang magturo sa noo'y Kagawaran ng Ingles (ngayo'y Department of English and Comparative Literature), at binuo ang isa sa mga pinakaunang kurso sa pagsulat ng maikling kuwento. Dahil doon, tinawag siyang “La Girl Filipina” ng kanyang mga estudyante. Karamihan sa kanyang estudyante ay naging kilala ring manunulat tulad nina Paz Latorena, Bienvenido Santos, Salvador P. Lopez, Manuel Arguilla, Loreto Paras Sulit, at Pambansang Alagad ng Sining Francisco Arcellana. Noong 1928, nilikom niya ang mga akda ng ilan niyang mga estudyante at inilimbag ito bilang isang antolohiya, ang Filipino Love Stories. Sa kasamaang palad, ang iba sa kanyang mga akda ay sinasabing nawasak noong Ikalawang Digmaang Pandaigdig.

Bukod sa pagiging g**o ay naging aktibo rin siyang tagapagtatag ng iba pang mga institusyon. Noong 1919, isa siya sa naging tagapagtatag ng kauna-unahang sekular na paaralang para sa mga kababaihan sa bansa, ang Philippine Women's College (ngayo'y Philippine Women's University). Itinatag rin niya sa taong iyon ang Woman’s Journal, ang pinakaunang modernong magasin para sa babae sa bansa, at katuwang ang kanyang asawa, ay itinatag nila ang Philippine Journal of Education.

Nagretiro siya sa pagtuturo matapos mamatay ang kanyang asawa noong 1951. Siya na rin ang humalili sa kanya bilang managing editor ng Philippine Journal of Education, at nagsulat doon ng mahigit sa 200 kolumn sa pagitan ng 1951 at 1977.

Bilang pagkilala sa kanyang natatanging ambag sa panitikang Pilipino, patuloy na itinuturo sa mga paaralan sa bansa ang kanyang akdang Dead Stars. Taong 1995, inilimbag ng kanyang anak na si Virginia Benitez Licuanan ang kanyang talambuhay, ang Paz Marquez Benitez: One Woman’s Life, Letters, and Writings. Para sa kanyang ika-129 na anibersaryo ng kanyang kapanganakan, ginawan siya ng isang “Google Doodle” na itinapok sa website ng Google.
