Kids, if I can summarize my life lessons into main items, here's what I'll have.
• Kung gagawa ka ng mali, gawin mo na ng tama. – since life is not black and white, but a multitude of gray, make sure you got all bases covered before you make a decision. Parang game of chess lang, check all angles before you plunge in.
• Choose your battles. – this is best explained in the four points below:
– Know yourself. Know your rights. Know your worth. Know what you can do. Be confident. Wag ma-insecure.
– Know your limits. Know when to let go of your wants or rights. Di lahat ng karapatan mo o gusto mo, kelangan mo ipaglaban hanggang patayan.
– Don't wash your dirty linen in public.
– Don't put people on the spot. Don't push them against the wall. Di siya magandang experience and I wouldn't want that to happen to you.
• Set your eye on the goal. Know the law of attraction – kung ano yung gusto mo, lagi mong isipin or tignan ang picture and makikita mo nalang, ayan na siya. I don't think it applies to relationships though :P
• Build and establish relationships. Wala kang mararating without the help of the people you meet along the way. Learn to appreciate every person you meet, may good points din sila kahit di lahat obvious agad. ;)
