Guess what! di pa rin nagbabago ang e-cas ko today. still "received by VO"
Pero may nagbago sa akin, at ito yun: "YEHEY, WLA PA RIN MOVEMENT SA E-CAS KO! That means i have to spend each day as if its my last day this year here in the Philippines ;D
;D
kaya bonding with family and friends muna, especially yng di ACCOMPANYING FAMILY MEMBERS, di ba?
i take the liberty of sharing this with u......
I'll always remember the advice I was given by a retired schoolmaster. He said, "Your chance will come. Go on doing the best you can. Time spent waiting is never time lost if you use it properly. Learn everything you can about your job. Try and improve and develop your talent, then when your opportunity does arrive, you'll be ready for it, you'll see." . . .
Perhaps it is the word "wait" itself that irritates us. It has so many dreary, everyday associations—waiting for buses, queuing at shops, standing in line at restaurants in the crowded lunch hour. But if we learn to think of it as anticipation, as learning, as growing, if we think of the time we spend waiting for the big things of life as an opportunity instead of a passing of time, what wonderful horizons open out!
When my chance came at last, I was ready for it. The time I had waited probably made the difference between success and failure.
But the important thing about learning to wait, I feel sure, is to know what you are waiting for. If we fix a goal and work towards it, then we are never just passing time. We are growing and moving and changing. We are living life as it is meant to be lived—as a challenge that takes every bit of our courage and ability.
Though Winter seems a time for stagnation, beneath the soil the world is preparing for Spring. When our own long wait is over, how much greater the thrill of achievement. How precious is the sight of that first daffodil, that has been striving all the long Winter through to push upwards towards the light?
