Stress Management Seminar

I attended a Stress Management Seminar conducted by Business Works for Summit Media yesterday at the Holiday Inn Galleria. The speaker was Anthony Pangilinan, assisted by Ria Tanjuatco-Trillo. Yup, 2 TV personalities. My attendance there came as a blessing. My officemate Jon can't make so he gave his slot to me.

I would like to share some quotations I learned that really struck me:

1. "It is not what happens to you but in you." - This is so true. We should learn to see good things in our problems and circumstances and learn from them.

2. "Don't let the good, keep you from the best." - This made me ponder on what I really wanted. Sometimes you have to learn to sacrifice for something greater.

3. "We are the only ones who want our lives to be balanced." - Others would like to get the best from us and take whatever they can. A classic example is your boss who will continue to keep on demanding work from you as long as you don't say no. Talk about about abuse. We should be committed to have work-life balance, we are the only ones who can do that to ourselves.
