...the interplay of light and shade
Under the Nerves
December 16, 2009I believe that I have been gifted with an above average IQ. However, when it comes to grading my EQ, my rating is below average. I don’t know if it’s me. It seems that I can never put a show on people I don’t like. In tagalog, “hirap ako makisama, lalo na sa mga tao na di ko gusto”. I am a stickler for rules. Call it a personality flaw, when I see something is amiss…I don’t hesistate to correct it. I seldom sugar coat. In the end, no matter how noble my intentions are, I end up as the bad guy. Simply because I did not say the correction in a sweet way. I don’t believe in gray areas. It’s either right or wrong. As much as possible, I do try to live and let live. However, if something will cause imminent danger on lives and properties, I will never hesitate to say what’s in my mind. I don’t know if I was raised in a different environment. I don’t know if my parents allowed me to be outspoken. I don’t know if I am really harsh in correcting others. But hell, the truth really hurts. I’d rather lose the “friendship” than let the physical damage be done. Sometimes, I do wish that they see the intention behind the correction. Well…best thing I could do now is NOT let them get under my nerves.
Something to DO
December 11, 2009After a long soul searching, i finally decided to take up a second degree. One which will enhance my current profession. I do hope I made the right decision. The “investment” is quite risky. I do hope to get connections, new knowledge and clients. Next year will be my make or break year. Hopefully, all my plans will come to it’s fulfillment.
