REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS

it is not the first time that i see people getting frustrated, unsatisfied with their accomplishments, what is happening in their career and their day to day life in general. i have a friend who recently purchased a laptop, just after a days of use he was vehemently complaining, and keep saying that he was short changed...

apparently he was expecting more than what the laptop can actually delivered, and that he thought that it was really a bargain considering the brand of the laptop and the price it was being offered. i have to remind him that it is a cut throat competition these days in every facet of the business and the manufacturer tend to come up with product that would be affordable to most of the clientele but of course something has to give...

frustration in my opinion is only a byproduct of expectations that are not achieved.... it is therefore essential that for us to set a realistic expectations in everything we plan and do...

SECURITY

a lot of people worries so much about their security, may it be personal, their family and even job security.... with all the things taht are happeing around us... with all teh news taht you hear everyday who wouldn't worry?



come to think of it, why do most people really worry about it??? simply because they only think of themselves, this is a very broad subject and very much debatable; i am not opening any debate but merely expressing my thoughts. life is only worth living in my own humble opinion if there are challenges around us... as i keep telling my friends, the humps and cat eyes in teh road are not ther eto annoy us but simply to remind us taht we are no longer in track... otherwise we will simply fall asleep....



in life as i imagine, this will laways be the case, and people will never get the feeling that they have achieved full level of security....

DOUBTS AND UNCERTAINTIES

you ask anybody who has been working overseas for more than five years why they opted to stay overseas will certainly give you the same answer. because there are many doubts and uncertainties that they need to face when they return home... for one the economic situation dictates and most of the time influences our decision making. but most of course things has to be weighed in and find the most suitable and beneficial for everybody

i must admit leaving your love ones back home does not make things any easier, there are plenty of factors to be considered, there are many things that you will hear and many heartaches you have to bear.... but at the end of the day its the family welfare that counts the most
