On Dreams and Realities

Found these books lying somewhere in the house and I decided to read them (actually, skim through them would best describe what I did). Pro Tips by Malou Salumbides tackles possible solutions to the issues people face in their workplaces.This one is good because it is guided by the Word. I need this since school can bring so much stress. Here's a snippet:

"Thank God It's Friday,
Oh My It's Monday!

...how to fight Monday blues:

1) Upon waking up, say a short prayer of thanksgiving. Thank the Lord for a restful weekend. Thank the Lord for the opportunities and even the problems that await you. And be thankful for your work.

2) Remind yourself that somewhere out there are men and women who are waiting for you to quit your job so that they can take it!If you don't love your work, somebody else will volunteer to love it.

3)Just think that your work is an opportunity for you to contribute something worthwhile to society. There is no insignificant work as long as it is done with passion and excellence."

Not bad right? I've realized that even if sometimes, I hate my course, there are kids who'd work so hard just to get into my place. To be grateful and to show effort is a must. Also, even if I feel so worked up during weekends, at least I still have "time" when my late morning/afternoon naps are still considered legit.

The other book is a gift for my brother (from his girlfriend). I find it amusing since I know he's not into books (hmmm..on second thought, not at all!). This one is a collection of poems and sayings about hope, dreams and passion.

"Don't wait for extraordinary opportunities.
Seize common occasions and make them great."
-Orison Swett Marden

Now, I'm even more determined to make my last semester (hopefully) an eventful one!I'm a step closer to being a young professional.*shivers
