  • Be on time

    wasting time

    There are many benefits of being on time. It avoids the negative impact of the delay and easily manages schedule. Time will never stop and wait, it goes on come what may. It’s our job to keep up on time or we find our self left behind.

    Scheduling can help your task on time. Having so many tasks can ruin your time management because we only have 24 hours per day to be exact. It is important to know each task because you can determine how long it will be. Now you can able to adjust your time schedule carefully. Being punctual is an attitude that will keep you on time. Don’t forget to check the surrounding and the weather, it can also cause of your delay.

    To keep yourself on time

    • Know your task – it will give you the idea how long it is.
    • Schedule – it will avoid overlapping task and time conflict
    • Attitude – be punctual and don’t be lazy. Your attitude will keep you moving.
    • Surrounding and climate – bad weather and not appropriate surroundings can cause delay.
    • Don’t think late – when you think you are late, it will manifest and the feeling of being late only brings bad vibes.
    • Just think that you’re just in time and it will make you not to worry.

    We are trained to be on time when we are set to school. We did not get in the school without preparations. That preparation is how we manage to be on time. Without preparations, we have the tendency to be late. Task and time management is one of the key to keep up on time.
    Plan your 24 hours or daily routine. It is a very good habit. Plot your task in time table make a plan.
    I miss my healthy time schedule when I was on elementary.

    • 6am – wake up and prepare for school
    • 7am – 3 pm : Study time
    • 3pm – 6pm : play at the beach, fetch wood, bring pale of water in full, watch sunset
    • 6pm – 7pm : must be at home, clean, do home work “not school assignment” just help at home.
    • 8pm – must be sleeping.

    Now my schedules are more on appointments and doing my project done on time.

    There is one kind of robber whom the law does not strike at… who steals what is most precious to men: time – Napoleon I

    Someone else’s time is a terrible thing to waste.

  • Refuse to hold grudges

    When you feel hate, grudges will come along and we must be careful of our actions. It flames up your anger and turns us bad. It is hard to avoid grudges but we can do something about it. Grudges give bad emotions and you carry it not until you’ve let go.

    Happy person don’t hold grudges and wise enough to learn that grudges are for the people who can’t let go of sad things or experience. Forgiving can take away your grudges and that is the best way I know.

    When we cause other peoples grudges? Be the first to humble down and ask forgiveness. It can lessen the hate and make them easily to forgive.

    Avoid before it happens. We are not perfect that sometimes people don’t like what happen. By understanding, we can control our emotion well and giving considerations allow them to do the right things. Managing our emotions can handle our grudges to let go.

    I don’t want to end this topic without sharing my personal experience. What can you feel when you are giving love to someone that loves you back untruly? It is like having a fake relationship that will never last. I have to know where the pains of grudges come from. The pain of letting go can heal faster than the pain of being cheated. I don’t have any benefits on my grudges. I also remember when my friend borrowed my Eraser Heads “Cutterpillow” album that was never returns. I have now in mind that when I let someone borrows my things; I assume it was already given, so that I won’t hold any grudges on them.

    What did you learn?

    Grudges is a rewards you get when you hate someone so much, It is up to you to received it.

    You can make a difference.

    You can avoid having grudges because its normal and you can make a difference when you can learn to let it go quick. You don’t need grudges in your life.

  • Put people first

    People are important in building an organization. They are the foundation of success. We can say that the numbers tells how big it is. Putting people first is one of the key in building up the organization. As a builder we must check if our people can able to participate or not to make sure that the organization will be at its best. The organization is poor when the people are not good.

    There are many reasons why we have to put people first.
    People give loyalty when they are getting good benefits in return. They will also perform a good job in giving back favors. It’s a win-win situation in both parties.

    How can we check people if they are getting the enough benefits?
    By asking them we can find the answers. Performing a survey questions and knowing their needs is a big hint to check if they are getting enough.

    I share my story as “Micro Amigo Probiotics Corp” part owner. We are promoting health products containing beneficial microbes. It is good for the digestive tract to balance bad and good bacteria in our body.

    Being a part owner, everyone expect to get anything in return after hard works. The budget is not enough to compensate us but we make sure that the distributors who are selling the products get what they have to get. From over 10 part-owners the number drop to 3 and that includes Me, Ivy Gatapia, and Corina Lopez. In the owners point of view the distributors are the people who need to put first in priority and make sure to get their benefits, but in the others point of view, we the owners are the people who are running the business must be compensated to maintain our daily needs. Since we’re not getting what we are expecting to get, we look for new opportunities and others leave their responsibility. Becoming a part owner of Micro Amigo Probiotics is charge to my experience. I learn many lessons from my partner and friends. We never last for 3 years and that business ventures is where I’ve learned why we should put people first. If the owners or the management get satisfied for what they get, I might think that we’re still together until now.

    When you think of putting people first, don’t forget to include yourself. You are just sharing good things to others. What happens when in times that you’re not enough? We don’t want to make it hard giving to others.

  • Get Enough Rest

    Get Enough Rest

    Having enough rest is very important to health. You need to rest when you get tired. We have to be conscious in our activities. Enjoying things you do will give you more energy but don’t neglect to make a good rest.

    I had experienced to work over 48 hours only with only an hour of power nap. I have to finish my work on due time and I need to work very efficient. Sometimes I beat the deadline and ask for extension if I cannot make it. I don’t want to give more time to my work because it is not a good practice, what I mean is I have to finished it as soon as possible in very efficient manner so you can take your rest early.

    Abusing body out of rest is very bad healthy habit. Rest must be into your time management. Don’t worry about having a work deadline because you can plan it without affecting your rest. If you know your schedule very well, you can have a time rest or finished your work on or before deadline.

    Where do I rest?

    I look for a comfortable place to rest where my body is fit to relax. Find a place with pleasant surroundings. Noise can destruct your resting too. I find time to rest on vacation at least once a month. I don’t recommend expensive vacation when the budget is out.

    Rest Tips

    Schedule time to rest. – If you don’t have rest schedule, someday you will pay for it when you get sick. It is better get rest in tiring condition and get relieve than confine on the clinic or hospital for treatment. It is very important to take your rest on time.

    Get at least 4 – 8 hours of rest. – Like a machine it needs maintenance, time to operate and time to check its conditions. Machines need rest to maintain its functions. Our body should take enough rest to maintain good conditions.

    Eat the right food. – The food we eat contributes to give more energy while we rest. Don’t eat too much if you were going to sleep. I recommend fruits that easy to digest.

    Avoid too much rest. – Our body needs activity. Our body needs to be in actions to maintain its ability.

    Learn to meditate. – Meditation can improve you rest. It is one of the best kind of relaxation.

    The morning is wiser than the evening. – Russian Proverb

  • Talk less and listen more

    Having an open mind will make you listen and understand more. Shutting off your mouth while others talking is showing respect. This is not an ordinary skills, it can help you find more wisdom from the one who is talking. Listening skills is a gift. It’s a way to feed your intellectual and spiritual health.

    Listening is similar to reading.

    You can’t understand what you read if you don’t know what all is about or it doesn’t make sense and the same thing with listening. You can’t understand what you heard if you don’t know what it is or you don’t have idea. Talk less and listen more is an advice to develop your skills how to absorb information. It gives respect to the person who talking.

    Listening is Freedom. Be glad that you can hear and no one can stop you not to hear.

    The effective ways to listen:

    • Be interested on the topic
    • Read the mouth of the speakers
    • Look at the face of the speakers, you might get the expression or feel something especially when you look into the eyes
    • You can ask to pardon word if you don’t hear it clear.
    • Don’t make the volume too loud or soft.

  • Remind yourself that your life begins now

    Remind yourself that your life begins now

    When our thought feels like our life is merely to end; in the moment of bad and unfavorable situations; why most people think that they are hopeless? What we do not understand is this is just a beginning of another chapter of our life. Our past was already accomplished. What you have now is a brand new hope.

    Always remind yourself that your life begins now!

    In this chapter of the book, it shows how people use the past or their experience in the wrong way. The past gave us lessons in life and we had interpret it good or bad. We might say the past is cruel things that we can’t move-on anymore or we can say that past make me realized the tomorrow is better than yesterday. You must learn your mistake. Some are saying that the past ruin everything and what had left is nothing. We’re just truly nothing form that start and by knowing that, I can easily accept my defeat. If you still have an energy to breath, think, and love, it’s enough for you to start over again.

    Our past has no power other than the power we give it. Drop all negative references to your past and you notice that living now is much easier. As your past habits creep into your consciousness, simply acknowledge them and let them go. Your past was important because it was needed to get you into the present. Focus on what you can do today, right now, in this moment, and you will begin to create the abundance.
