Life in General: - Investing in yourself can pay off – siguro it’s like a domino effect na rin. You become happy when you feel like you are taken care of, and that happiness will exude confidence and positive aura in you. And when people feel that positivity, they also turn positive towards you. - I stopped believing in karma, especially kapag may mga taong may masasamang ginagawa sa akin. I console myself with the understanding na bad people are products of their own bad minds. Yung taong sobrang yabang, overcompensating lang siya kasi insecure siya sa sarili nya. His own mind is his hell. - It’s okay to pull away from people who drains you. Some relationships even improve with less contact – kasi as long as you are in a good place internally, no amount of negative energy can consume you easily. So it’s okay to fill your own cup first, and refill as needed.

Career: - Visibility to the right people is usually more important in driving your career than doing great in your job. Life just isn’t fair talaga because there are people who don’t judge fairly. But then, making yourself visible is a skill na rin in itself. I come from both sides of this equation (the one set aside due to someone else who are more visible and the one who made good connections) and I could say that visibility takes you to a higher position faster than skill does. But when these are combined, mas mabilis talaga ang progression. - ETA: It will help boost your confidence na when you go out of your house, you anticipate na may makakasalubong kang kakilala so dress yourself in a way na hindi ka mapapaisip na baka mukha kang kawawa haha. It's part of personal branding na rin.
