Life Lessons for February 2012

Work ate up most of my time this month. Hence, the long overdue blog update.

I have so many moments to share, but for now, let me give you my February batch of life lessons. Read on.

32. Go out of your comfort zone. Say hello to technology.

33. Don't say yes to everything. Learn how to turn down and say no when you have to. You're neither a doormat nor a robot.

34. Be approachable, considerate & helpful to your officemates. A happy working environment lessens the stress.

35. Do it yourself.

36. Don't let your mind stop you from having a good time. -Jason Mraz

37. When do you stop asking questions? Once you get the answer.

38. Never settle for "Okay lang" and "Pwede na". You're born to have the best, do your best and be the best.

39. Pay attention to details. Always double check and re-check.

40. Find fulfillment from your job and use it as a motivation to keep going.

41. Act with confidence and maturity.

42. One of the highest (but usually taken for granted) forms of respect is listening. Listen.

43. During (rare) family time, really be there. Forget about work, turn off the internet *coughs*, answer the SMS later.

44. Stuff you can splurge on? Comfy shoes, reliable umbrella, and the like.

45. "Be Love" <3

46. Surround yourself with happy people, good stuff, and a positive environment. Shoo away negativity - -you don't need any.

47. Instead of labeling people as difficult, think of them as different.

48. You are investing the best years of your life to your current job. Make it a good investment.

49. Don't just think out of the box. Try thinking without the box.

50. Keep the faith.

51. Never lose that yearning for learning. Otherwise, you'll become a dinosaur.

52. The person who is nice to you, but not nice to the waiter, is not a nice person.

53. Learn how to say NO.

54. The magic is within you. There ain't no crystal ball.

55. Don't take yourself too seriously. No one else does.

56. "When you want something, the best person to depend on is yourself." (Loved this quote I read somewhere)

57. Make time for your friends. Through ups and down, they'll be there for you, keeping you sane.

58. Pay yourself FIRST.

59. Manage expectations and address them beforehand.

60. People who do not say what they want, don't give themselves a chance to get what they really want.
