-taken from a reading while I’m on a bus to office- Everybody is the body of the team (work spirit) There is a story of 4 people name, everybody, somebody, anybody and nobody. There was an important job to be done and everybody was asked to do it. Anybody could have done it but nobody did it. Somebody got angry because of that, because it was everybody’s job.

Bitter medicine
No one likes to be criticized, in my opinion. While some people like to criticize others. Just take it with open heart. Although it’s not easy. Take it with a pinch of salt too. Some may be true. Maybe what they say is something that we overlook. Listen with your head, not your heart. If it’s true, accept it. If it’s not, take it as something passes by. – me

Kindness and anger
When I was young, I was told to treat others like I want others to treat me. Along the way, I don’t see it that way. Doing something good to others doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll receive something good for others. However doing something bad, somehow reciprocal. You’ll get it for sure. I take it that everyone likes kindness so kindness takes longer time to return to you. Everyone likes it so they want to keep it. Unlike bad things, lets […]
When you’re angry
When either people or things are testing our patience. It’s easy to just vent it out. It’s a relief. Sometimes regret comes after. Because we can’t think clearly. Don’t deny it either. Because you’ll be more furious. Acknowledge it. And say, it’s okay, you’re worth more than this. What’s the big deal. Because there are other big thing which worth your attention and energy more. Be happy! Be peaceful!
