Perspective

It happened to me many times - there are things said by a friend, a colleague, a boss, which struck a nerve. It can be positive, it can be negative. Depende na sa iyo. Here are some... how do you call it, thoughts or one-liners, which I encountered for the past weeks and gave me more... perspective.

"Friends should always give the benefit of the doubt and not take sides."
(Nasabihan ako ni Kumpare nito dahil kinampihan ko yung misis ng kumpare namin.)

"Dalawang bagay ang nagpapaandar sa mundo - pera at koneksyon."
(Kung alin ang meron ka, swerte mo! Kung parehong meron ka.... Hmp! )

"....kaya nga naging active ako this year sa mga clubs and I took up French class - para I have something to look forward to aside from work. It motivates me."(Tama nga sabi ni Doc, find your distraction so as not to dwell on things that gives you stress.)

"Don't take it personally."
(Frequent one-liner during performance review. Kahit masakit po ang nabitiwang salita - don't take it personally daw. Che! )

oo nga ako nga kahit mga one-liner movie quotes which struck me gustong-gusto ko.

lalo na yung "No one should make you inferior without your consent" ba yun from Princess Diaries?
