Filed under: Retirement 

The retirement during the early years are only being offered to individuals who had reached the retirement age. However, retirements  are now being offered to young employee especially if their position had been dissolve/abolish or they opted for early retirements package.

More often than not, those who went into retirement will receive a lump sum of money which is computed based on their length of service. If you are planning to go into retirement, you may take the following as guide on how to manage your retirement money (1) perform proper planning ahead of time (2) Once receive and you haven’t decided what to do on your money, temporary deposit it in the bank (3) Don’t consume your money by doing house renovation. You don’t need that investment cause it will not provide you future income  (4) avoid investing in unsecured investment especially those who promises higher interest rate (5) invest only in business you know and don’t put the entire money as capital

Retirement pay comes only once in a lifetime. Do careful planning because your future is at stake! 

 

I have to work hard but need a break too!

I spend years of my life in studying, working  and attending to client calls. Activities that exposes me to different stages of emotional condition brought by success, frustration, anxiety and problems. I don’t have regret facing those situation cause it made me a better man. Most of all, working for almost six days a week provides my family enjoyment in having a decent living condition and satisfaction to our basic needs.

I don’t mind working especially if it is for the benefits of my family. For it is my role as a father to my kids and as a husband to my wife. But sometimes, I told myself that I need a break too!

Once in a while we went out of town for a vacation. Sometimes I pamper myself by having a massage and a drink with friends. But what I enjoy most is to be in a place where I can temporary escape the reality.

Having a vacation seldom happens in my life. If this happens again, I wanted it to be a perfect one. I visualize my vacation in a beach island with my family. The place is quiet and peaceful. You can play and lay down in white sand and taking a dip in blue water. You can run and shout as long as you want. You can solemnly enjoy the sunset and witness the time wherein daylight slowly covered by darkness. Feel the importance of light when sun slowly appears to overcome the darkness. Most of all enjoy those wonderful moment with your love ones.

 I’m not getting any younger so I plan to enjoy life now more than before. I know that I had to work…but I need a break too!

 

 

 

 

Leaving Love behind

It’s been a long time since we parted our ways

I pursue on what I believe is right and you have own life

Couple of time we accidentally met which I felt is like a test 

Yet we succeeded to remain friends and I believe it is the best.

 

I haven’t see you for a long time and I heard your doing fine

An indication your have move on and now happy in your life.

Preoccupied on your career, a move that I really think is bright

I never bother to ask about your love life because I don’t have the right. 

 

I really think that destiny want to test my emotion…

He brought me to a place using work as the reason.

When I met you again, I can’t understand my feeling

I know you felt it too and for me that is so confusing!

 

I tried to keep a distance and concentrate on my work.

I Tried to ignore the feeling of wanting to see you more.

I believe I just miss you because you are my friend.

And will try to keep it that way, today until end!

 

 I want to admit, the feeling I had then remains the same…

But the decision of not choosing you will remain.

I will convince myself that we are only destined to be friends…

I will leave the love behind and put everything to an end!

 

Doing Work right at the first time!

Working in a corporation or any business entity is the common goal of an individual. Student keeps on studying in order for them to have a college degree which will serve as a passport of acquiring a job. After graduation, you can see on their face the excitement in looking for a job and willingness to do anything just to have a position in a corporate world. Once hired, this individual will then try to make a mark on their company or attempt to be recognized immediately. This is common fact and I believe that this attitude is normal in the beginning.  However, as years pass by, the determination demonstrated in beginning will slowly diminish and the worst scenario is that might also lead to resignation.

If this case frequently happens in your company, then there might be wrong in the organization or your might had hired a wrong individual. Base on experience and observation, people who got hired and resigned after a couple years  had reached any of the following condition in a short period of time:

  • First - they found out that the job they have now is not the kind of job they wanted.
  • Second- they got bored because of the routine task they do
  • Third - they believe that better opportunity is waiting outside that offers greener pasture.
  • Fourth- they can don’t like the system being implemented by the management of the company.
  • Fifth- totally not satisfied on the status of their career.

 But who suffers in end? On my point of view, both the employer and employee will suffer in the end. Employer will suffer because they will do again the hiring process and training of new candidates for employment, they might have lost a good employee, work performance of the group might be affected and will incur unwanted additional cost. Employee on the other hand will suffer since they are to look for new employment, build new working relationship and might have wasted time , effort and growth opportunity,

The learning point is that both employee and employer should take extra effort before entering in employment of Contract. Everything should be clear from the start as to work conditions, benefits, career plan and other.  Hence, both hiring and accepting task should be done RIGHT AT THE FIRST TIME!  

 

 

Secret of Successful Marriage

Filed under: Marraige 

Witnessing couple exchanging married vows is a romantic and memorable scenario indeed. I enjoy listening to the warm greeting and best wishes being offered to the new couple. “Congratulations’ to the groom and “Best wishes” to the bride are the commonly used words during wedding. “May you have a successful marriage!” is the wish given by one of the guest that catches my attention. The same wish I and my wife received during our wedding years back then. But when can you say that you have a successful  marriage? Is there a secret formula to have as successful  marriage? These are the questions that came to my mind when I received the wish to have a successful marriage.

Being married for years, I now believe that marriage is successful whenever you comply with the vow you made during your wedding. Vow that states commitment to take each other as husband and wife.  Wow stating promises  that you will love, comfort, honor each other and keep one another in sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer.  Most of all, the declaration you made that you will only faithful to your partner till death do you part.

Yes, I really believe that fulfilling the vow is an indication of successful marriage. However, since we are all human, we may sometimes fell short in doing our commitment. In order to correct are shortcomings, we should put God as the center of our marriage and understand the witnesses of our partner.

I may not be the expert to mention the secret of successful marriage, but let me share my opinion and belief regarding this matter. The secret of successful marriage is to (1) put God in the center or your marriage, (2) Loving your partner without any condition and expectation, (3) Giving your partner enough space to breath and develop his or herself in his or her own way, (4) Maintain open communication, and (5) always express your love and respect to each other.

Come  and join me now as we apply the secret I know towards Successful Marriage.

 

 

      

 

 

The Gift of Friendship

One of the most wonderful gifts that I ever received

Is the gift of True Friendship that destiny give

Two different people meet in an unplanned situation

Eventually becomes friends without any condition.

 

 True friendship offers a relationship that is sublime 

Without hesitation, one can always give  a hand…

 Whenever there’s a conflict, spirit of friendship will prevail

With respect on each other, their relationship will never fail.

 

Friendships are not measured by how often you see each other.

Friendship  doesn’t count how long you been together.

How much you give and what you get doesn’t  matter a bit…

For true friend only aims for you to be great.

 

In life I have experienced that friends do come and go…

But even that thing happened, it doesn’t hurt me so.

For In my heart I know, that our friendship will always be there…

And the friendship we built together will always be forever!

 

I thank God for the wonderful gift of love…

I thank God for the all the things he gave.

I appreciate everything that resides in this world…

Especially the Gift of Friendship that every one enjoy!

 

 

The wonderful Gift

I remember the day when you came into my life

You put a smile in my face and made my day bright!

Not having a baby boy then, doesn’t affect me a bit

For what matters most is your healthy and you are my baby.

 

The first word you uttered  is a good music to my ear..

The first walk you made is a memorable event my dear.

The first laugh you gave is wonderful time indeed…

But whenever you cry, makes my heart bleed.

 

Your first day in school is worth remembering…

Cause you hid under the chair and keep on crying.

Little hug and kisses, made you feel at ease

And your class went on smoothly and everybody is at peace.

 

Many years had passed and my first baby  is now a lady.

Brave  enough to face the world and to handle a responsibility.

She is now capable to handle challenges and her college difficulty,

For she knows what she want and for me it’s a sign of maturity.

 

It’ almost eighteen year when my first baby came…

Times may have passed but the feelings remain the same.

I’m always excited on the future of my first princess

And religiously pray for her unending success.

 

My First Princess, always remember this…

The time we are together, I will always  cherish!

I thank God for giving a wonderful gift…

And that’s you my child and the love that will not perish!
