WORK TO LIVE, NOT LIVE TO WORK
It's 5 o'clock in the morning; the alarm sets off. You get out of bed. You take a bath. You have your breakfast. You leave the house. You're ready to face another working day. Or are you?
When I was a kid, I would ask my mom why she and my father had to work. She would always tell me that they had to, so we could have the money to buy food, to pay for the bills, to pay for schooling & so on. Both my parents worked but I'm really grateful to God; that in spite of that, I was never lacking in love, time, nor care from my parents.
As a matter of fact, I grew up to be a responsible individual because my parents really took care of me. Although they were at the office 5 days a week from 8am to 6pm, they still found time to look after me, and teach me, my lessons in the evening.
They made sure that I did my homework. They didn't pressure me to aspire for honors, but I was motivated enough to study hard so I'd get good grades. It was my way of repaying my parents who never complained about working. I guess fate has been really good to me because, modesty aside, I managed to land in the top of my respective classes.
My parents taught me that one has to work in order for him to live a good life. They stressed, however, that this should not be taken as having to live just to work! They said that work should only be a part of life and it should not occupy one's whole existence.
And they lived this philosophy. At the end of the work day, they would leave all their work-related problems in the office so that at home they could be devoted to us 100% as a family, no less.
I must say that I agree with them. To this day, I still hear their message that work should be just a part of life and not life itself. I pity those people who have their way in this game called life. They have forgotten how to really live because they work too hard.
There' nothing wrong with striving at work, but people must watch out for signs that they have begun to work themselves to death. Remember that anything in excess is bad. Maybe, they want to achieve something badly, that's why they work so hard. But I believe that success in the workplace doesn't always bring happiness.
To be successful means that you have to sacrifice some things and sometimes, you end up sacrificing your family, your friends, your life; you achieve your professional goals, but you lose yourself. Then you wonder if the loss is worth the gain.
Everybody's wish, in this world, is happiness and there are many ways to be happy. But when we work too hard or worry too much, we often forget that the simple things in life are those that make us happy…. a call from a friend, a smile from a stranger, the sight of a lovely flower, a surprise gift, a filling meal, a pat on the back, etc. It doesn't require much to get these gifts. These gifts are for free, but they provide immeasurable happiness.
Work to live and not live to work. Find time for yourself, for your family, for your friends. Keep in mind that your priority is your loved ones, and not your work. Everybody deserves to be happy and I hope that everyone grows old without any regret in life.
I hope each of us will have a smile on our faces when we reminisce the old times, I hope that everyone

Two Days We Should Not Worry
There are two days in every week about which we should not worry,
two days which should be kept free from fear and apprehension.
One of these days is Yesterday with all its mistakes and cares,
its faults and blunders, its aches and pains.
Yesterday has passed forever beyond our control.
All the money in the world cannot bring back Yesterday.
We cannot undo a single act we performed;
we cannot erase a single word we said.
Yesterday is gone forever.
The other day we should not worry about is Tomorrow
with all its possible adversities, its burdens,
its large promise and its poor performance;
Tomorrow is also beyond our immediate control.
Tomorrow's sun will rise,
either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds, but it will rise.
Until it does, we have no stake in Tomorrow,
for it is yet to be born.
This leaves only one day, Today.
Any person can fight the battle of just one day.
It is when you and I add the burdens of those two awful eternities
Yesterday and Tomorrow that we break down.
It is not the experience of Today that drives a person mad,
it is the remorse or bitterness of something which happened Yesterday and the dread of what Tomorrow may bring.
Let us, therefore, Live but one day at a time

Mother love, A very touching poem
He cannot tell his mother he's dying.
Somehow he's embarrassed, ashamed of fifty-six years
of imperfections, of doing everything she told him
(even as a teenager) not to do.
He's ashamed for her, too--her second son to die this way,
that out of her milk-white and perfect bones
came a perfect cell that would divide and divide
her heart into a million pieces, if she only knew.
His world was every yellow tulip she breathed in April,
every strawberry whose redness she swallowed in July,
every song on her lips whose notes
slid in tenor waves through her thin skin
and lulled him off to sleep again hush little baby don't say a word.
She once felt his fingers and toes fluttering
beneath the tight skin of her belly, his straining to open his mouth
and tell her everything in the world he knew was beautiful.
Now he feels an invisible weight
pushing out on his belly and his love has no words
for all the nothing in the world
he knows is beautiful.

One of these days is Yesterday with all its mistakes and cares,
its faults and blunders, its aches and pains.
Yesterday has passed forever beyond our control.
All the money in the world cannot bring back Yesterday.
We cannot undo a single act we performed;
we cannot erase a single word we said.
Yesterday is gone forever.
The other day we should not worry about is Tomorrow
with all its possible adversities, its burdens,
its large promise and its poor performance;
Tomorrow is also beyond our immediate control.
Tomorrow's sun will rise,
either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds, but it will rise.
Until it does, we have no stake in Tomorrow,
for it is yet to be born.
This leaves only one day, Today.
Any person can fight the battle of just one day.
It is when you and I add the burdens of those two awful eternities
Yesterday and Tomorrow that we break down.
It is not the experience of Today that drives a person mad,
it is the remorse or bitterness of something which happened Yesterday and the dread of what Tomorrow may bring.
Let us, therefore, Live but one day at a time

Mother love, A very touching poem
He cannot tell his mother he's dying.
Somehow he's embarrassed, ashamed of fifty-six years
of imperfections, of doing everything she told him
(even as a teenager) not to do.
He's ashamed for her, too--her second son to die this way,
that out of her milk-white and perfect bones
came a perfect cell that would divide and divide
her heart into a million pieces, if she only knew.
His world was every yellow tulip she breathed in April,
every strawberry whose redness she swallowed in July,
every song on her lips whose notes
slid in tenor waves through her thin skin
and lulled him off to sleep again hush little baby don't say a word.
She once felt his fingers and toes fluttering
beneath the tight skin of her belly, his straining to open his mouth
and tell her everything in the world he knew was beautiful.
Now he feels an invisible weight
pushing out on his belly and his love has no words
for all the nothing in the world
he knows is beautiful.
Live and be Happy
~Watch a sunrise at least once a year
~Look people in the eye
~Sing in the shower
~Be forgiving of yourself and others
~Never give up on anybody, miracles happen everyday
~Surprise loved ones with little unexpected gifts
~Make the best of bad situations
~Admit your mistakes
~Slow dance
~Remember that the most important thing is trust
~Make it a habit to do nice things for people who'll never find out
~Think big thoughts, but relish small pleasures
~Never cheat
~Smile a lot
~Never deprive someone of hope; it might be all they have
~Strive for excellence, not perfection
~Be kinder than necessary
~Never take action when you're angry
~Be romantic
~When someone hugs you, let them be first to let go
~Seek out the good in people
~Look at the stars
~Judge your success by the degree that you're enjoying
peace, health and love

10 secrets to be a better person
The FIRST secret - the power of THOUGHT.
Love begins with our thoughts. We become what we think about.Loving thoughts
create loving experiences and loving relationships. Affirmations can change
our beliefs and thoughts about others and ourselves. If we want to love
someone, we need to consider his or her needs and desires. Thinking about
your ideal partner will help you recognise her when you meet her.
The SECOND secret - the power of RESPECT.
You cannot love anyone or anything unless you first respect them.
The first person you need to respect is yourself.
To begin to gain self-respect, ask yourself, What do I respect
about myself?-
To gain respect for others, even those you may dislike, ask
yourself,
What do I respect about them?-
The THIRD secret - the power of GIVING.
If you want to receive love, all you have to do is give it!
The more love you give, the more you will receive.
To love is to give of yourself, freely and unconditionally.
Practice random acts of kindness. Before committing to a
relationship ask not what the other person will be able to give to
you, but
rather what will you be able to give them.
The secret formula of a happy, lifelong, loving relationship is to
always focus on what you can give instead of what you can take.
The FOURTH secret - the power of FRIENDSHIP.
To find a true love, you must first find a true friend.
Love does not consist of gazing into each other"s eyes, but rather
looking outward together in the same direction.
To love someone completely you must love him or her for who they
are and not for what they look like.
Friendship is the soil through which love seeds grow.
If you want to bring love into a relationship, you must first
bring friendship.
The FIFTH secret - the power of TOUCH.
Touch is one of the most powerful expressions of love, breaking
down barriers and bonding relationships.
Touch changes our physical and emotional states and makes us more
receptive to love.
The SIXTH secret - the power of LETTING GO.
If you love something, let it free. If it comes back to you, it"s
yours, if it doesn"t, it never was.
Even in a loving relationship, people need their own space.
If we want to learn to love, we must first learn to forgive and
let go of past hurts and grievances.
Love means letting go of our fears, prejudices, egos and
conditions.
Today I let go of all my fears, the past has no power over me -
today is the beginning of a new life.-
The SEVENTH secret - the power of COMMUNICATION.
When we learn to communicate openly and honestly, life changes.
To love someone is to communicate with them.
Let the people you love know that you love them and appreciate
them.
Never be afraid to say those three magic words: .I Love You.-
Never let an opportunity pass to praise someone.
Always leave someone you love with a loving word -
it could be the last time you see him or her.
If you were about to die but could make telephone calls to the
people you loved, who would you call, what would you say and .. why
are you waiting?
The EIGHTH secret - the power of COMMITMENT.
If you want to have love in abundance, you must be committed to
it, and that commitment will be reflected in your thoughts and
actions.
Commitment is the TRUE test of love. If you want to have loving
relationships, you must be committed to loving relationships.
When you are committed to someone or something, quitting is never
an option.
Commitment distinguishes a fragile relationship from a strong one.
The NINTH secret - the power of PASSION.
Passion ignites love and keeps it alive.
Lasting passion does not come through physical attraction alone;
it comes from deep commitment, enthusiasm, interest and
excitement.
Passion can be recreated by recreating past experiences.
When you felt passionate spontaneity and surprises produce
passion.
The essence of love and happiness are the same;
all we need to do is to live each day with passion.
The TENTH secret - the power of TRUST.
Trust is essential in all loving relationships.
Without it one person becomes suspicious, anxious and fearful
and the other person feels trapped and emotionally suffocated.
You cannot love someone completely unless you trust him or her
completely.
Act as if your relationship with the person you love will never
end.
One of the ways you can tell whether a person is right for you is
to ask yourself, .Do I trust them completely and unreservedly?
If the answer is .no-, think carefully before making a
commitment.
Love begins with our thoughts. We become what we think about.Loving thoughts

What wonders a smile can do...
She smiled at a sorrowful stranger.
The smile seemed to make him feel better.
He remembered past kindnesses of a friend
And wrote him a thank you letter.
The friend was so pleased with the thank you
That he left a large tip after lunch.
The waitress, surprised by the size of the tip,
Bet the whole thing on a hunch.
The next day she picked up her winnings,
And gave part to a man on the street.
The man on the street was grateful;
For two days he'd had nothing to eat.
After he finished his dinner,
He left for his small dingy room.
He didn't know at that moment
that he might be facing his doom.
On the way he picked up a shivering puppy
And took him home to get warm.
The puppy was very grateful
To be in out of the storm.
That night the house caught on fire.
The puppy barked the alarm.
He barked till he woke the whole household
And saved everybody from harm.
One of the boys that he rescued
Grew up to be President.
All this because of a simple smile
. . .That hadn't cost a cent.
The smile seemed to make him feel better.

Watch your table manners!
While most job interviews take place in an office, not all do. There are interviews that take place in clubs, restaurants and various other places that are tucked well away from the office. If you find part or all of an interview being conducted while you are expected to have a drink or eat, be careful.
The first tip we can give is for you to be just as alert in these surroundings as you would be in the office. Do not be lulled into a false sense of security by thinking there is no interview or the interview is over and you can now relax. You are still being observed just as carefully as ever - maybe, even more so.
A typical example of what not to do: Andy has nervously gone through a series of morning interviews with different people in the organisation. As lunchtime approached, he was invited to go to lunch with two of the people with whom he had already interviewed. As the three crossed the street to the restaurant, Andy breathed a sigh of relief and indicated he was glad the interviews were over. He proceeded to act as if they were. He no longer gave thoughtful responses to questions and he seemed very opinionated. Indeed, the company associates got to see Andy as he really was and decided they didn’t like what they saw. You are on stage until you take your exit. Don’t forget your part.
The second advice is to follow the leader as far as possible. If the interviewer orders only a soft drink, do not up the ante by ordering liquor. The worst is if you decide to order food while others do not. At lunch, the best advice is to decide on a fruit juice or something equally neutral even if others have ordered a beer. They may be testing you, and going back to work or more interviews after even one drink is not advisable no matter how well you think you can handle it.
Finally, if food is offered, order something that’s easy to eat and in small portions. Try to avoid spaghetti, fried chicken, and bony fish. You’re probably not hungry anyway, and you won’t be eating much because you will be talking most of the time. But be sure you direct your attention to your audience, not your food! Your social graces - and especially your table manners -- are particularly on display in such settings.

An Open Letter to a Graduating Daughter
The writer's daughter graduates this March from the Ateneo de Manila University, and he shares his letter of advice to her with all college students graduating this year.
Dear Elynaea,
Today is your day. As you sit barely listening to the endless stream of graduation speeches, a lot of things must be rushing through your head and producing a mix of emotions.
You must be recalling those days of struggle -- the countless hours spent studying, doing research, preparing projects, agonizing over possible test results -- and relief passes through you as you realize that they are finally over.
Too, your mind must be trying to peer into the future. You daydream of landing your first job, of earning your first salary, even of eventually getting your own car, acquiring your own flat and traveling to different places.
But as you gaze around, the sight of your classmates must dampen your enthusiasm and fuel feelings of anxiety. So many new graduates soon to go looking for a job, just like you. And you must be wondering: How will I fare in the job market? Will I be another jobless statistic? Or will I be among the lucky ones who find a good job right away? How tough is it really out there? Will I be successful in my chosen career?
Your trepidation is understandable, and I wish I could guarantee your future for you. But I can't. Only you can decide your fate through the priorities you set, the decisions you make, the efforts you spend, the sacrifices you make.
The best thing I can do for you today is to share years of insight on how to effectively manage one's career. These insights come not only from my own experience but also from observing successful people -- friends and former classmates, peers in the profession, my superiors, work associates and many others. They come from different fields and took different approaches, but the underlying principles for their success are uncannily similar. Here they are:
Have a clear vision. Your vision should be as clear and as specific as you can make it. Aim as high as you believe you can go. If you aim too low, you might find the challenge insufficient and the achievement too shallow. If you aim too high, you may have difficulty hitting your target and may live a life full of frustration.
Your vision should be something you truly believe will give your life significance and meaning. Being young, you may think that financial reward or fame would make you happy. They won't. People with such vision often end up miserable and empty inside even when they do succeed. To find your vision, imagine yourself retiring four decades later and asking yourself, "Did my achievements make me the best of what I could be?"
Draw up a focused plan. This plan will give you the focus and the general guidelines to attain your vision and mission. For now, it should contain only the broad strokes and offer answers to the "what" and the "when." The specifics (the "how") will come later.
It is also very important that you know the value of properly pacing yourself. A pace that is too fast can lead to exhaustion and burnout. A pace that is too slow can lead to complacency, meandering and loss of interest.
Right now, you will not be able to determine your correct pace, but you can start creating a time frame containing rough estimates. With experience, you will develop a better sense of timing and can adjust your plan accordingly.
Prepare a specific action plan. After you have defined your vision and mission then it is time for implementation.
The first thing you have to do is, of course, get a job based on your vision. Find the organization that can help you achieve your vision -- provide you proper training and development, recognize your talents and give you opportunities to move up. The search may be long and hard, but if you put your heart and mind to it, you will find this organization. There are many articles on job hunting, including those that I have written. Now is the time to apply the insights you have gained from them.
Once aboard that organization, try to acquire a clear idea of how the company works. What are its vision, goals, strategies and priorities? How aligned are these with yours? Use this information to prepare your strategy for accomplishing each step of your mission. These are now the specifics, the detailed action plan.
To help you draw up that action plan, try answering these questions: How long will it realistically take you to move from one level to the next higher one? What are the things you have to accomplish? What preparatory training and developmental steps must you take? Can the organization provide you these? If it can, how can you avail yourself of them? If it cannot, can you obtain them outside the company? How much will it cost you? What assistance will you need?
As I said earlier, this is just a very rough framework for career success. The gaps and details will have to be filled by you.
Later in life, certain events may occur that will require you to revise your plan, rethink your strategy, or adjust your timing. Some of them may be good -- an unexpected promotion, a significant transfer, even a better job offer. If this happens, do not become complacent or overconfident. Always keep your feet firmly planted on the ground.
Some may be bad and derail your plan -- an economic or industry slump, a shift in the organization's priorities, a change in management. Don't despair. Adjust your plan and timing, but keep your mind focused on your vision. The road to success is not always straight and paved; there may be detours and rough trails along the way. But with patience, perseverance and determination, no doubt you will make it.
I have saved the best for last that you may remember it best: Always pray to God for guidance and strength in all your endeavors. No matter how well you plan and how hard you work, without His blessing, all will be in vain.
God bless and Godspeed!
Dear Elynaea,
Today is your day. As you sit barely listening to the endless stream of graduation speeches, a lot of things must be rushing through your head and producing a mix of emotions.
You must be recalling those days of struggle -- the countless hours spent studying, doing research, preparing projects, agonizing over possible test results -- and relief passes through you as you realize that they are finally over.
Too, your mind must be trying to peer into the future. You daydream of landing your first job, of earning your first salary, even of eventually getting your own car, acquiring your own flat and traveling to different places.
But as you gaze around, the sight of your classmates must dampen your enthusiasm and fuel feelings of anxiety. So many new graduates soon to go looking for a job, just like you. And you must be wondering: How will I fare in the job market? Will I be another jobless statistic? Or will I be among the lucky ones who find a good job right away? How tough is it really out there? Will I be successful in my chosen career?
Your trepidation is understandable, and I wish I could guarantee your future for you. But I can't. Only you can decide your fate through the priorities you set, the decisions you make, the efforts you spend, the sacrifices you make.
The best thing I can do for you today is to share years of insight on how to effectively manage one's career. These insights come not only from my own experience but also from observing successful people -- friends and former classmates, peers in the profession, my superiors, work associates and many others. They come from different fields and took different approaches, but the underlying principles for their success are uncannily similar. Here they are:
Have a clear vision. Your vision should be as clear and as specific as you can make it. Aim as high as you believe you can go. If you aim too low, you might find the challenge insufficient and the achievement too shallow. If you aim too high, you may have difficulty hitting your target and may live a life full of frustration.
Your vision should be something you truly believe will give your life significance and meaning. Being young, you may think that financial reward or fame would make you happy. They won't. People with such vision often end up miserable and empty inside even when they do succeed. To find your vision, imagine yourself retiring four decades later and asking yourself, "Did my achievements make me the best of what I could be?"
Draw up a focused plan. This plan will give you the focus and the general guidelines to attain your vision and mission. For now, it should contain only the broad strokes and offer answers to the "what" and the "when." The specifics (the "how") will come later.
It is also very important that you know the value of properly pacing yourself. A pace that is too fast can lead to exhaustion and burnout. A pace that is too slow can lead to complacency, meandering and loss of interest.
Right now, you will not be able to determine your correct pace, but you can start creating a time frame containing rough estimates. With experience, you will develop a better sense of timing and can adjust your plan accordingly.
Prepare a specific action plan. After you have defined your vision and mission then it is time for implementation.
The first thing you have to do is, of course, get a job based on your vision. Find the organization that can help you achieve your vision -- provide you proper training and development, recognize your talents and give you opportunities to move up. The search may be long and hard, but if you put your heart and mind to it, you will find this organization. There are many articles on job hunting, including those that I have written. Now is the time to apply the insights you have gained from them.
Once aboard that organization, try to acquire a clear idea of how the company works. What are its vision, goals, strategies and priorities? How aligned are these with yours? Use this information to prepare your strategy for accomplishing each step of your mission. These are now the specifics, the detailed action plan.
To help you draw up that action plan, try answering these questions: How long will it realistically take you to move from one level to the next higher one? What are the things you have to accomplish? What preparatory training and developmental steps must you take? Can the organization provide you these? If it can, how can you avail yourself of them? If it cannot, can you obtain them outside the company? How much will it cost you? What assistance will you need?
As I said earlier, this is just a very rough framework for career success. The gaps and details will have to be filled by you.
Later in life, certain events may occur that will require you to revise your plan, rethink your strategy, or adjust your timing. Some of them may be good -- an unexpected promotion, a significant transfer, even a better job offer. If this happens, do not become complacent or overconfident. Always keep your feet firmly planted on the ground.
Some may be bad and derail your plan -- an economic or industry slump, a shift in the organization's priorities, a change in management. Don't despair. Adjust your plan and timing, but keep your mind focused on your vision. The road to success is not always straight and paved; there may be detours and rough trails along the way. But with patience, perseverance and determination, no doubt you will make it.
I have saved the best for last that you may remember it best: Always pray to God for guidance and strength in all your endeavors. No matter how well you plan and how hard you work, without His blessing, all will be in vain.
God bless and Godspeed!
What is a friend??
A friend is someone who fills our lives with beauty, joy and grace and makes the world we live in, a better, happier place.

Silence make the real conversations between friends, not the saying but the never needing today is what counts.
A true friend is someone who walks into your world, when the rest of the world walks out on you.
The friends who are really worth having are those who will listen to your deepest hurts, and feel they

A very famous song is "everybody is looking for intimacy", that is deep friendship. Your communion stage is over & you both become necessary for each other to share, are the ideas and thoughts of each other , you have started thinking on the same levels that other person is thinking.
