Life-long Lessons

Lifted (with permission, of course!) from another highschool classmate (it runs in the school! haha), Trina Palana-Soledad.

Read on and discover a few things about her and about yourself;p

Thanks again, Trins!

1) Kung wala kang masasabing maganda, tumahimik ka na lang.
"If you can't say anything good, don't say anything at all."

2) Huwag kang mag-alala kung pag-tsismisan ka ng iba. Sa huli, lalabas din ang katotohanan.
"People will always say things about you. In the end, the truth shall prevail."

3) Ang pikon talo.
"The short-tempered always loses."

4) Kapag tumulong ka sa kapwa mo, dapat ito'y mula sa puso. Kung hindi, wag mo nang gawin. Hindi maganda ang nagpapanggap.
"If you help others, it must come from the heart. If it's not sincere, it's useless."

5) Ang respeto ay hindi basta basta binibigay sa tao. Kailangan mong ipakita na karapat-dapat kang bigyan ng respeto bago mo ito makamit.
"Respect is not just given. It is earned."

6) Wag mong hayaang tapakan ka ng ibang tao kung alam mong ikaw ay tama. Lumaban ka.
"Don’t let anyone step on you. If you know you're right, fight for it."

7) Lumayo ka sa mga taong negatibo and hindi masayahin. Sila ang tutulak sa iyo pababa.
"Stay away from negative and unhappy people; they will take you down with them."

8) Ang umaayaw ay di nagwawagi, ang nagwawagi ay di umaayaw.
"Quitters never win. Winners never quit."

9) Hindi pwerket madasalin ka, memoryado mo ang bibliya, palasimba ka at nag-bibigay ka na donasyon sa mahihirap ay didiretso ka na sa langit. Ang intensyon sa likod ng mga gawaing ito, ang pagtulong/kabaitan sa kapwa at kagandahan ng puso ang importante sa mata ng Diyos.
"If one prays a lot, memorizes the Bible, frequently attends mass and donates to charity - that doesn't mean you will go straight to heaven. The intentions behind those habits, good deeds and sincere hearts are what matters in the eyes of God."

10) Layuan ang mga taong nang-gagamit at mukhang pera.
"Stay away from people who are USERS and who WORSHIP money."
***USERS: People who use their friends/family for money, car rides, gifts, free meals (any freebies) and attention just to name a few. The ones who will be "extra" nice because they know they'll get something out of you/from you. After getting what they want, they'll go back to their rotten ways.***

11) Imbes na magreklamo, maghanap ka na lang ng solusyon.
"Instead of complaining and ranting, just go and find a solution."

12) Hindi lahat ng magulang mabait, mapag-mahal at mapag-aruga sa anak. Masuwerte ako at pinagpala ng Diyos at binigyan ako ng magulang na magmamahal sa akin kahit ano pang mangyari.
"Not all parents are loving, caring and supportive to their children. I'm blessed and lucky to have such amazing parents who love me unconditionally."

13) Ang inggitera/inggetero ay dapat iwasan. Wala kang mapapala sa kanila.
"Stay away from jealous or envious people. They will do you no good."

14) Aanhin ang kayamanan, tagumpay at dami ng ari-arian kung walang saya sa buhay mo? Walang pagmamahal? Mas mabuti nang ika'y mahirap pero masaya.
"What's the use of being rich, successful and having material wealth if you are not happy or if you have no love in your life? I'd rather be poor but happy in LOVE, in that case."

15) Kung hindi mo kayang bayaran ang isang bonggang kasal, wag mong gawing bongga. Tama na sa kakaisip sa imahen mo at tigilan na ang pagkukunwari. Kung mababaon ka sa utang, kababawan at katangahan na yun. Masmalala pa pagnanghingi ka ng kontribusyon sa mga taong inimbita mo sa kasal. Nakakahiya at low class naman.
"If you can't afford a lavish wedding, do not have one. Forget about your image. Don't be shallow and pretentious. If you will end up being in debt, it's not a smart decision. You will only make it worse if you go through it THEN end up asking money (or contributions) from people whom you've invited in your wedding. It's hands-down "embarrassing"." **based on other's experience.**

16) Hindi pwerket kamag-anak, dapat laging pag-pasensyahan. Pag-inalipusta ka, lumaban ka.
"Just because they are your relatives or family, you should let them say whatever they want to. If they disrespect or put you down, you have to do something about it."

17) Malaki ang pagkakaiba ng pagiging bastos at low-class sa pagtatanggol sa sarili.
"There's a big difference between being rude and standing up for yourself to preserve your dignity."

18) Iwasan ang mga taong natutuwa kapag nakikita kang hirap sa buhay
"Stay away from people who find pleasure and joy when you are going through hardships in life."

19) Huwag mong umpisahan ang isang bagay kung hindi mo kayang tapusin.
"Don't start anything if you can't finish it."

20) Sa pagbigay ng regalo: Mas may halaga ang intensyon ng taong nagbigay keysa sa regalo mismo. Walang deadline ang pagbigay ng regalo sa kahit anong okasyon. Kaya huwag mong madaliin yung magreregalo sayo. Huwag kang makapal - mahiya ka naman.
"The manner of giving is worth more than the gift. So never pressure nor rush anyone to give you gifts; no matter what the occasion is. There's no deadline. Don't be dense or shameless." ***This is NOT a fun experience when you're on the GIVING end.***

21) Ang anak ay hindi pabigat sa buhay kundi biyaya ng Maykapal. Hindi dapat isinusumbat ng magulang ang pag-aaruga sa anak dahil ito ay kanilang responsibilidad.
"Children aren't burdens but gifts from God. No parent should ever upbraid their kids- because caring for and loving them are their responsibility to God."

22) Pulutin ang mabuti, ang masama ay iwaksi.
"Emulate what is good, ignore what is bad."

23) Hindi napagtatanto ng tao na ang opinyon nila sa mundo ay isang pagkukumpisal ng kanilang karakter.
"People do not seem to realize that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character."

24) Kung sino ang masalita ay siyang kulang sa gawa.
"Whoever talks too much never do much."

25) Walang pag-asa ang taong mahilig mag-marunong, mapagmagaling at damang higit na mahusay siya sa iba. Dahil sa kanilang mundo, hindi sila maaring magkamali. At wala tao na makahihigit pa sa kanilang katalinuhan.
"There's no hope for people who are know-it-alls, self-righteous and superior. In their world, they do not & can never make mistakes. And for them, no one can be smarter than them."

26) Mahirap kausapin ang bobo at makitid utak. Ikaw ang talo. Sayang lang oras mo.
"It's hard to talk to stupid, ignorant & narrow-minded people...you won't be able to go through their brains. It's a waste of time."

27) Delikado ang taong may konting kaalaman. Sa isip niya, siya ay kagalingan kahit hindi.
"A little knowledge is dangerous: A small amount of knowledge can cause people to think they are more knowledgeable than they really are."

28) Minsan, ang taong hindi masaya sa kanyang sarili, sa asawa o buhay ay naghahatid ng pait sa mga tao sa kanyang kapaligiran nang hindi niya namamalayan.
"A person who is not happy with himself, his wife or his life unconsciously exudes/shows bitterness to the people around him."

29) Ang paghusga ng isang tao base sa kanyang trabaho, titulo, kapangyarihan, pera at ari-arian ay napakababaw. Ang tao ay dapat husgahan base sa kanyang intergridad at lakas ng loob.
"To judge a man based on his position or power or money he made are shallow. A man should be judged by his integrity and his inner strength."

30) Maraming taong magsasabing hindi mo kaya gawin ang maraming bagay. Hindi mo makakamit ang iyong adhikain at maaabot ang iyong mga pangarap. Di mo kailangan makinig. Gawin mo ang gusto mo. Huwag sumuko at ikaw ay magtatagumpay..
"Many people will tell you that you cannot do this or that; you can't reach your goals or attain your dreams. You don't have to listen. Do what you have to do. Don't give up and success will be yours."

Ang mamuhay ng mabuti ay ang pinakamatamis na paghihiganti.
