- Think positive. Look at the bright side, the half full glass, the small victories you've achieved.
- Sing your heart out in the shower. You may not hit the notes but it's a good way to start your day. Plus you'd serve as an alarm clock for your snoring neighbors.
- Don't openly criticize a person in public. Instead, talk to him or her in private. A scolding boss humiliates his subordinates because of power; otherwise, he earns respect.
- Avoid people who speak ill of others and who constantly complain about their jobs. Subconsciously, their negative thoughts will affect your thinking.
- Borrowing words from Steve Jobs, "Don't let the noise of other people drown your inner voice." Wanting to write a comicbook? Do it now. http://facebook.com/SegoviaSolutions
- Have a back-up financial plan. You'll never know if you'd lose your day job.
- Find a person in the room whose presence inspires you to continue moving towards your goals.
- Frequently read the facebook status of a person who has a strong relationship with God. He's your online spiritual adviser.
- Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Be M.I.A. for the sake of your relationships.
- Take a long walk if the pressures of home stress you out. Buy bola bola siopao from 711. It has fewer calories than asado.
- Smile at people. They'd probably smile back at you. They could be your future significant other or your potential customer.
- Be a little shameless in your business/ income-generating ventures, unless you're doing a monkey business, shame on you!
- Try your best not to burn bridges. Keep in touch with your old friends. Tag them to their humiliating photos. No, scratch that one. :P
- Spend time with people who don't run out of jokes. Laughter is the best medicine.
- Watch Filipino movies. Just walk out if it sucks.
- Enjoy a horror movie alone. Pick a row where no one else is sitting so it's less embarassing if you scream like a girl.
- If you experience sleep paralysis with optional vision of a ghostly being, just call God for help.
- Crack your trademark joke to new acquaintances. Mine's about a newborn worm who's curious about his world. Crawl. Crawl. Crawl.
- Cigarette second-hand smoking is dangerous to your health. You'll thank yourself 20 years later.
- Start a blog. Writing is therapeutic. Who knows, someone might be learning something from your B+ essays. http://uysijerald.blogspot.com/.
- Start saving. Spend less. Earn more. Open at least two bank accounts for emergency funds and savings.
- Having a poor vision sometimes makes you confident in public speaking. Plus, you see less beings of the supernatural kind.
- If nothing's really big going on, lessen your time watching newscasts. "The Secret" says it could attract negative thoughts and circumstances in your life. To be fair, too much of anything is bad, right? But don't miss the docu of your best bud-reporter. If you did, you might not be able to borrow money from him next time. :P
- Read a book while you're idle or waiting for your turn. Or watch Bloomberg or CNBC. Expand your knowledge about the adult stuff, even if you don't know the difference between stocks and your socks.
- Be grateful to people who have helped you through.
- Pray and thank God that you're still alive. You've lived through his tests for 26 years. Honor him in everything you do.
