Personal Core Values

Regardless of whether or not we recognize them, personal core values are among the most important factors in how we live our lives.

Funny how the story ended up talking about values, wherein since High School, i was so decisive to have this various values until my goal. so, as for me, to be successful, i have 5 personal core values, that I had always thought of since High school years, to start it off, my first core value is Positive Attitude, always on the good mood or lightening up the mood even though the scenario is somewhat gloomy. second core value is Loyalty, being loyal to someone, or something always gives benefits in return. third value is Honesty, like Loyalty, telling the truth and nothing but the truth, always prevail. fourth core value is Respect, now, do I need to explain why? everybody need this kind of value. and the last value i have is Commitment, somewhat like a promise, but only to oneself, to practice what to go first, and what to focus on.

As for my values, I didn't compromise any of them, because as for me. my values are always on the top, the main focus, somewhat like my motivation for a successful future, because having this kind of values doesn't always give you negative traits, but gives you good conduct and moral upright.

Walang sinabi ung babae.
"Sasamahan kita at babantayan. para nga lang papasok ung hangin at lahat ay ayos na."
"tapos anung gagawin natin?"
"Magiging ok na tayo, tulad nung dati."
"Pano mo nasabi yan?"
"Yan lang naman ang problema natin. yan lang ang nag tatanggal ng kasihayan natin."

"pagkatapos nyan, tayo'y magiging ayos at masaya."
"Alam ko. hindi mo kailangan matakot. marami akong kakilala na nagawa na to."
"Ako rin." sabi ng babae. "pagkatapos nga non, lahat sila naging masaya."
"Well." sabi ng lalake. "pag ayaw mo, ayos lang. hindi naman kita pinipilit, pero alam mo. simple lang to."
"At gustong gusto mo?"
"Sa pagkakaalam ko eto ang pinaka maayos. Pero hindi kita pinipilit."
"Pag ginawa ko to, magiging masaya kaba at mamahalin moko?"
"mahal kita. alam mong mahal kita."
"Alam ko. pero pag gianwa ko, Edi ayos lang sabihin ko ulit na ang mga bagay ay parang puting elepante, at gugustuhin mo?"
"Mamahalin ko. mahal ko ngayon pero hindi ko lang maisip. alam mo naman pag nag aalala ako."
"pag ginawa ko, hindi kana mag aalala?"
"Hindi ako nag aalala kasi napaka simple lang nyan."
"Edi gagawin ko na, kasi wala naman ako paki sa sarili ko."
"Anong ibig mong sabihin?" "wala naman ako paki sa sarili ko?"
"Well, may paki ako sayo."
"Ah, oo. pero wala ako paki sa sarili ko. at gagawin ko para lahat ay okay na."
"Wag mo nalang gawin kung ganyan ka."
