  1. "If"

    By Rudyard Kipling

     

    If you can keep your head when all about you

    Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;

    If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

    But make allowance for their doubting too;

    If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

    Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,

    Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,

    And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

     

    If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;

    If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;

    If you can meet with triumph and disaster

    And treat those two imposters just the same;

    If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken

    Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

    Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,

    And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;

     

    If you can make one heap of all your winnings

    And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

    And lose, and start again at your beginnings

    And never breath a word about your loss;

    If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

    To serve your turn long after they are gone,

    And so hold on when there is nothing in you

    Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";

     

    If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

    Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;

    If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;

    If all men count with you, but none too much;

    If you can fill the unforgiving minute

    With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -

    Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,

    And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!

  2. Crab mentality. Let me just share my experience. My boss have this cold war going on with one of the company's directors handling operations. Being in sales, we felt that it was only normal for us not to see eye to eye with operations on some engagements. This has been going on for as long as I remember. Fast forward, I just closed 3 accounts (companies as clients) in a span of a week so I felt elated. On one sales meeting with the President and Directors, my boss informed me that he wasn't able to come so it was up to me to present changes in our revenue for the week. I planned ahead and gathered my things to join the meeting. It didn't surprise me that there were only a few people in the meeting including the president. I went on with starting the discussion without any problems encountered whatsoever. After the meeting concluded one manager came running into the board room and asked me why didn't I call him. I was surprised and first thing that I did to diffuse the situation was to apologize and told him I didn't know he was there and anyway I call him to the meeting before as courtesy, but I am not obligated to inform him of when the meeting should start because as a manager he should know about it because of the invites given a day before or before the meeting that day. The director jumped into the fray and informed the head of HR that I was a "bad investment" because of that and some mistakes after I left the room. This surprised me because I was expecting a better reaction from the Senior Director. When confronted by the head of HR during one of our yosi breaks I explained my side which she understood. Looking back, I pondered I was just small fry 3 levels down the senior director, what the heck does she gain from all this?

  3. Na mahalin mo at bigyan ng respeto ang iyong sarili. Kung ano ang ibinigay iyong ibalik rin. Gawing simple ang mga bagay bagay at wag mag-isip masyado. Sabihin ang totoong nararamdaman. Gawin ang totoong nararamdaman. Maging malinaw sa mga bagay bagay. At pinaka importante sa lahat matutong lumakad palayo.

  4. Flings can be fun. Although I guess the older I get the frequency and the interest is not the same as before when I was younger. Hindi na bara-bara ngayon, "come what may", bahala na si batman. Now after going through some, flirting included, you tend to put things into perspective. In my experience someone will fall eventually so you have to manage it well. It can be you or your partner or both. Most of the time the problem lies in both your disposition, status etc. Managing expectations prevents that but later on, should the relationship progress into something the big question is "What's NEXT"?

  5. I danced with the Ms JS Prom who was also my crush in HS. She was so pretty and I was mesmerized the entire night. When we were dancing I didn't touch her waist because... I"M NOT WORTHY!!!! Hahahahahaha. I felt my grimy hands did not have any business holding her waist. When we met a few years later after college we were able to talk about it during coffee and it was hilarious.
