Lessons on Life
I just got this as an email from a friend and I love it. Don't know who authored this. Just read on...
There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge things too quickly. So he sent them each on a quest, in turn, to go and look at a pear tree that was a great distance away.
The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in summer, and the youngest son in the fall.
When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen.
The first son said that the tree was ugly, bent, and twisted. The second son said no it was covered with green buds and full of promise. The third son disagreed; he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful, it was the most graceful thing he had ever seen. The last son disagreed with all of them; he said it was ripe and drooping with fruit, full of life and fulfillment.
The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they had each seen but only one season in the tree's life.
He told them that you cannot judge a tree, or a person, by only one season, and that the essence of who they are and the pleasure, joy, and love that come from that life can only be measured at the end, when all the seasons are up.
If you give up when it's winter, you will miss the promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer, fulfillment of your fall.
Moral:Don't let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest.
Don't judge life by one difficult season.
Persevere through the difficult patches and better times are sure to come some time or later

Fashion Designer Boyet Fajardo Scandal?
Who is he? Well, not anybody knows all fashion designers no matter how popular they are. Also, one’s fame does not give him permission to bypass standard operating procedures… It does not also give one a license to berate others.
I still wonder who would bring an unsigned credit card and passport unless those are just newly delivered and you suddenly got into an emergency situation.
I also wonder how his supporters can justify his action and say it was a “creative outburst” because he’s an artist, a fashion designer. What a lame excuse! It’s ridiculous!
You think an online boycott campaign of his RTW clothes would be a good way to teach him a lesson? You be the judge. Check out this video: www.abs-cbnnews.com/video/lifestyle/03/23/09/duty-free-union-bares-abusive-pinoy-fashion-designer

Do you hate your boss?
Is it some kind of psychological about this thing between a boss and a subordinate? Sometimes, I would think yes. Does it become automatic that you hate your boss because he/she gives you a hard time and a lot of work to do while he/she does nothing but signs papers & documents or forwards your work to his/her big boss, deleting your email signature so that he/she gets the credit? Or is it normal that when someone becomes a boss, he/she turns into a monster and makes it hard for everyone so that he/she becomes popular. Pride sets in (puffed up) due to authority and power he/she is now holding - some kind of power tripping. Or is this just a cultural issue?
Why is it that in many organizations, government or private, the difficult and "notorious" bosses are the ones who are gaining popularity and become in-demand and sought-after by the hiring departments. Have anybody thought about this? I’m sure many people will agree that a power-hungry, terror, moody and tactless boss would really, really ruin your day!!!
Where are the good bosses? Why do they easily give up and leave? Is it because they can’t fight for their own right or they are overpowered by the monsters?
Aside from issues in a workplace such as politics, just like in show business (or even in blogging or in schools); if you want to be popular, you have to be controversial or notorious. Blame everyone, be a “terror teacher or boss”, be difficult, give everyone a hard time, be tactless and you’re in – you become very, very popular! Well, Congratulations! ...
