Don't Quit

Anonymous

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, When the road you're trudging seems all uphill, When the funds are low and the debts are high, And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit Rest if you must, but don't you quit. Life is queer with its twists and its turns, As everyone of us sometimes learns, And many a failure turns about When they might have won, had they stuck it out. Don't give up though the pace seems slow, You may succeed with another blow. Often the goal is nearer than, It seems to a faint and faltering man, Often the struggler has given up When he might have captured the victor's cup; And he learned too late when the night came down, How close he was to the golden crown. Success is failure turned inside out The silver tint of the clouds of doubt And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems so far; So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit, It's when things seem worst that you must not quit!

Best Hot Springs in Town

It’s still rainy season in the Philippines, but the weather could be very humid at times. I simply like cold weather and rainy days because it gives me the feeling of deep tranquility. Whenever I like to relax, I would always think about the resorts in Calamba, Laguna. It is around an hour and a half drive from Manila or by bus. This place is nearby my hometown.

The resorts at Calamba, Laguna are located around the beautiful Mt. Makiling, where you can experience breath taking serenity of nature!

The water from hot springs comes from the underground of Mt. Makiling about 300 meters deep. So you can actually experience the “Miracle water” from hot springs, because it is known to cure sickness.

There are over hundreds of hot springs around the town and even in Los Banos, the town next to Calamba where you can find the stunning University of the Philippine, Los Banos branch.

Aside from hot springs, you can also try the best BUKO pies in the country.Try it when you get to visit this place.

I could not wait to relax and unwind in this perfect get away near by the city!

Critical thinking and decision making

Everyone has to make decision in so many areas of life. From the moment we make up, we decide what to eat, what to wear, and what to prioritize for the day. In some case, it requires simple decision making just like the routine activities that we do everyday.

But there are times when we must take time to decide if our decision will affect other people, not to mention our businesses, in case we must decide for a project or strategic change.

Take a look at the video of mind thinking maps, inspired by De Bono's 6 thinking hats of decision making process.
