Backstabber

Chinkee Tan Have you ever been backstabbed? Are you a victim of people talking behind your back? You ask them what the problem is. “Nothing,” they answer. But the whole office or class already knows what the problem is. Or sometimes you’ll hear them say, “I’m not mad. We’re done with that.” But the moment you leave, they start spreading news and rumors about you. This is called BACKSTABBING. Some people try to hide their backstabbing by saying they’re just concerned about you. Then suddenly they say bitter and bad things about you. For example, in the office, someone got promoted or you were able to achieve an award, and were recognized for your effort. Then the people you call your friends say things like, “Don’t mind them! Just remember that I’m happy for you!” “They’re just jealous!” “They’re only saying those things because they’re not getting promoted no matter what they do!” But, little did you know that to other people, this is what they say: “He really is getting more boastful. He wasn’t always like that.” “It should have been me. He was just sucking it up with the boss.” “His head is getting big!” In this situation, you’ll see how backstabbing DESTROYS SOMEONE’S LIFE instead of helping him/her change for the better. If you’ve experienced backstabbing, instead of getting annoyed about it, why not just try to understand why people are acting that way? Why do people backstab? LOW SELF ESTEEM They don’t think so well of Read More …

Don’t Be Greedy!

Chinkee Tan “Money, money money Must be funny In the rich man’s world” These are lyrics from the song from Abba. Who does not want to earn more money? There is nothing wrong with earning money. But I’ve seen many families and lives come to ruin not because they are not earning enough, but because they are actually earning so much that they have forgotten what it’s like to have a sense of family. Some are so driven to become successful and rich that they forget the reason why they are working, and who they are working for in the first place — their families. It’s important for all of us to understand when we’re already going overboard and beyond the healthy limit — It’s already too much when you need to pee so badly, but you still don’t want to go on a CR break. It’s already too much when you take your breakfast during lunch, and your lunch during dinner. It’s already too much when you mistake your wife for your client. It’s already too much when you start whispering your workmate’s name in your sleep. It’s already too much when one can actually compare you to a raisin and not a grape because of too much stress. It’s already too much when you actually forget what day it is today, and the birthdays of all your loved ones. As they say, we need to work in moderation. Anything that is in excess will never do us any Read More …

I Don’t Want To Cram Anymore! I Don’t Want To Cram Anymore!

Chinkee Tan It’s Monday again! Time to go back to work and school. There are so many deadlines and homework to do. Have you ever felt lazy the whole night, and found yourself preparing and working on your readings only by dawn? Have you ever rushed to school or work, found yourself having a last look at your exams or reports? How about staying up late, chugging loads of coffee, and on your way to work, you rush? You almost tore the page of whatever it is that you’re reading, and you feel yourself having a cold sweat. The question is, “Are you finished with your work or are you just beating the deadline?” CRAMMING is the word for this scenario. We are all very familiar to this kind of studying and preparation technique. This is the quickest way to remember (at the very least) some parts from our notes, or do last minute changes that we were not able to finish ahead of time. When I was still in school, I was confident that I wouldn’t get called right away for any recitation because that was done according to class number anyway (overconfident). My style was to try hard to listen to what the teacher was saying memorize it. (Problem is, I’m often asleep.) I don’t study much. I watch TV and play games when I’m at home. So when exam time comes, “IT’S CRAMMING TIME!” When I took the exam, I couldn’t remember what it was that I Read More …

Angry! Frustrated! Stressed!

Chinkee Tan Do you easily get angry? Frustrated? Stressed? It’s so frustrating to meet people who never think of anything else but themselves. It’s so frustrating to talk to people who never did anything else but lie and make up stories. It’s so frustrating to deal with people who can’t answer their cellphones and return a text message. Well, we all have the right to get angry and frustrated! Who wouldn’t be in situations like that? But, if we think about it, what good will it do if we are angry all the time? Angry! Frustrated! Stressed! Our days will only get ruined, and no good will come out of always being angry. Why should we punish ourselves for other people’s mistakes? The moment we don’t forgive, they win and we lose. Imagine this: you remember everything that all those “inconsiderate” people did to you every single day, whether they did it on purpose or not. You think of ways to avenge yourself every single night — you can’t even sleep at night just thinking about it! The truth is, it is you who are living in all the stress, not them. Let us not live in bitterness but in forgiveness. Let us live in peace rather than in hate. Let us live a stress-free life rather than a stressful life. I think the best solution to a life of stress is to release and to rest in the peace of God. Release your stress and you will be blessed! Read More …

Tips on growing a second income

Armando Bartolome If the amount an employee earns from a 9-to- 5 job isn't enough to provide for the family, there are other ways to add to the income by engaging in a small business. According to the National Wages and Productivity Commission of the Department of Labor, an employee working in the National Capital Region receives P491 a day. That amount may not be enough to provide the basic needs of a family with three children. AN EMPLOYEE’S GOAL Not having enough capital to start a business is the primary reason why an employee gets stuck with just a single means of earning.  You may have seen from some offices employees selling products to add to their income. While some companies do not allow this, some employees still find a way to earn through a small business.  Another possible means where one can earn more is by selling products through networking. There are legitimate networking businesses in the Philippines that help many people increase their means of living.  Not really focusing on converting people into millionaires, but there are products that can be easily sold because of the great benefits that they provide the user. Just be sure to engage with legitimate businesses.  Prior to joining a networking business, you may need to pay a fee equivalent to a starter kit that you can eventually sell. Joining fees depend on the networking business you want to be involved with. AN OFW’S OPPORTUNITY Working overseas has some advantages and disadvantages. Read More …

The Value of Having True Friends

Chinkee Tan People who will… Jump off a cliff with you… Go through fire with you… Wade through water for you… Save the last piece of biscuit for you… It feels great to have people like this to be your friend. These are the kinds of people who will be true to you, who will never leave you, who will be with you through thick and thin, through happy times and sad times. It’s possible for you to have a lot of friends, but to find even just one true friend is a real treasure. So how can you know if your friend is a true friend? What are their characteristics? For me, a true friend is REAL. Meaning, this is someone who is always and completely honest and transparent to me. True friends can tell you the truth even if it’s painful. Most of the time, we have “friends” who only tell us what we want to hear. And because of this, we get into trouble.   True friends can tell you that your breath stinks, that you smell like you haven’t taken a bath for days, that you have hair coming out of your nose, that you need to start on a diet, and many more. They will not say things they don’t mean just to flatter you. Yes, they are sincere in praising and affirming you, but they are also sincere when there are things that you need to improve on or change. They are bold enough Read More …
