Life Lessons Ni Ser

It's ok to look the other way from time to time...
to mind your own business...
to say no...
to get disappointed...
to get angry...
to give time for yourself...

You don't have to be everyone's go-to person all the time.
You don't have to please everyone all the time.
You don't need to be understood all the time...
You don't need to be right all the time (though most of the time you are)
You don't have to agree with everyone all the time..

Remember, you are no different from other human beings, you may be more talented, you may be gifted, but one common denominator between us is...WE ARE ALL HUMAN.

Do not ever disrespect people, especially your teachers. You may think you are more intelligent than they are, but intelligence without good character is useless.

If you do not learn to respect your elders, you will never be worthy of respect. Respect is earned, but it must first be given.

We live in a world where:
1. Common Sense is no longer common.
2. Many people don't know how to think for themselves.
3. Trapped in the wrong system.
4. Where accountability and responsibility are ignored.
5. Where integrity is slowly diminishing.
6. Where people make their own rules that "fit" them and flaunt them as their "rights."
7. Where "threats" become the norm when you don't get what you want, even when it's wrong.
8. Where "wrong-doing" is protected, and the oppressed are ignored.
9. Where "rights" have no clear meaning anymore.
10. Where being teachable seems humiliating.
I hope that someday, people will start thinking and actually care about the people, the environment, and the society they live in.

YOLO - You Only Live Once
YADT - You Also Die Twice
Where will you spend eternity?

Suicidal thoughts are experienced by almost everyone. Even the seemingly happy person around you. The issue is not the thought itself, the issue is succumbing to those thoughts.

Everyone goes through tough times, some tougher than others. The simplest solution seems to be taking your own life. BUT, it's NOT actually a solution BUT AN EVEN BIGGER PROBLEM.

1. The people you leave behind goes through police investigation.

2. Your family goes through trauma thinking why you did it.

3. You will forever be remembered as the one who took their own life.

You see. Problems always have solutions. You just need to seek them.

There are too many unspoken words we need to start speaking. Silence won't help you solve any problems. No man is an island; everyone needs someone to talk to. Even loners need someone to communicate with. You may have the right to remain silent, but in times you need help, you always have someone ready to listen to you, sit wth you, cry with you, pray with you, and for you.

Don't ever think otherwise.

Prevention is always better.

Perhaps you may think: It may not happen at all. But when something does happen, and knowing it could have been prevented, will your pride save you from the consequences?

Leadership is a lonely position. No matter how good you are, you will always have people who will never understand you.

Nobody can trust everybody and anybody. That is why having somebody to trust is a blessing.

Stop comparing your kids to their parents and siblings. Each one of us has our own strengths and weaknesses.

Birds of the same feather are the same bird; that's why they flock together.

In the same way, people who have the same character tend to flock together.

Stupidity is thinking that you know everything when you really don't know anything.
