Living one day at a time

Friendliness comes from sympathetic human relations and respect that is transformed into affection and eventually builds firm friendships. It is the outward cheerfulness, interest on people and willingness to share one’ self to others that leads to friendliness. There are people who are easy to befriend with while others are so close with their own world they don’t give a damn on others. This is where your friendliness is tested. I guess by just being yourself and your willingness to share yourself with them will help them open up. I believe that it takes honesty of intentions to open doors of friendships.

A piece of wisdom was once passed on by a mentor. “You will repeat your mistake until you learn you lesson.” It was so simple to understand yet I never really applied this gem until lately.

I am thrifty! I’d rather buy the cheapest shirt than a branded one. I like my money’s purchasing power to be stable. I love to save! And I love discounts and sales.

Now I learned my lesson: It’s better to buy more expensive quality products, especially when you plan to be using these products for a long period of time. When you go for quantity instead of quality, because you are thinking you are saving, well, you’re wrong. You may be spending more because the turn over of these products is high. The higher the turn over, the more you buy for replacements making you sacrifice your own hard earned money. As they say experience is the best teacher.

Happiness is having a joyful spirit and light heartedness whether it’s a good day or bad day. Your ability to smile, laugh or crack a joke amidst heartaches and sorrows provide a happy disposition in life. Cheerfulness is like sunshine that penetrates the dark room. The darkness or difficulties stays without the sun shinning and it makes you glad that sun always shines.
