What is Effective Communication ????

Jack and Max are walking from religious service. Jack wonders whether it would be all right to smoke while praying. Max replies, "Why don't you ask the Priest?" So Jack goes up to the Priest and asks, "Priest, may I smoke while I pray?" But the Priest says, "No, my son, you may not. That's utter disrespect to our religion." Jack goes back to his friend and tells him what the good Priest told him. Max says, "I'm not surprised. You asked the wrong question. Let me try." And so Max goes up to the Priest and asks, "Priest, may I pray while I smoke?" To which the Priest eagerly replies, "By all means, my son. By all means."



Moral : The reply you get depends on the question you ask.

Put the Glass Down

A lecturer was giving a lecture to his student on stress management.

He raised a glass of water and asked the audience,
"How heavy do you think this glass of water is?"

The students' answers ranged from 20g to 500gm.

"It does not matter on the absolute weight. It depends on how long you hold it.

If I hold it for a minute, it is OK.

If I hold it for an hour, I will have an ache in my right arm.

If I hold it for a day, you will have to call an ambulance.

It is the exact same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes."

"If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, we will not beable to carry on,
the burden becoming increasingly heavier."

"What you have to do is to put the glass down, rest for a while beforeholding it up again."

We have to put down the burden periodically, so that we can berefreshed and are able to carry on.

So before you return home from work tonight, put the burden of work down.

Don't carry it back home. You can pick it up tomorrow.

Whatever burdens you are having now on your shoulders, let it down for amoment if you can.

Pick it up again later when you have rested...

Rest and relax.

Life is short, enjoy it!!

HOW TO CONTROL EMOTIONS

This would give you guides on how to control your emotions towards your
better-half, friends, officemates and all the people around you, especially your boss.

The rules of practicing 'ugaling langit, ugaling kaaya-aya':

#1 Ang naunang magalit ang may karapatang magalit. Pag naunahan ka na ng galit niya, tumahimik ka na lang muna.


#2 Walang taong nag-aaway mag-isa. Pag hindi kayo sumagot o pumatol, titigil din daw ang taong nakikipag-away sa inyo.


#3 Ang taong galit, 'bingi.' If someone is angry, wala raw pinakikinggan, so, don't try to explain and fight back. Hindi ka niya iintindihin dahil wala siyang naririnig kundi ang sarili nya.


#4 Ang taong galit, 'abnoy.' Ayon sa pastor, Biblical daw ito... because the Lord said when He was crucified, "Father, patawarin mo sila dahil hindi nila alam ang kanilang ginagawa."
Modern term for these kinds of people are abnoys, so you better not get angry para huwag kang matawag na abnoy.

You should also know and realize that the persons who make your day bad are jewel, because you need them for you to mature.

Hangga't andyan daw sila at kinaiinisan mo, ibig sabihin, immature ka pa. God will not take away those people; it's for you to take away your bad feelings towards them.

You'll know na mature ka na pag dumating 'yung time na hindi ka na naiinis sa mga taong ito because you have learned to accept them and to have patience with them.


#5 Finally, the best part of this is to tell yourself na, because of this person, "I will grow mature," and that DAHIL SA CONTRIBUTION NIYA SA MATURITY MO, KUKUNIN DIN SYA NI LORD.

breaktime . . .

A man joins a big corporation as a trainee.

The first day at work, he dials the canteen and shouts into the phone,
"Get me a coffee, quickly!"

The voice from the other end said,
"You fool! You've dialed the wrong extension!
Do you know who you're talking to?"

"No," replied the trainee.

"It's the company CEO!"

The trainee shouts back,
"And do YOU know who YOU are talking to?!"

"No." replied the CEO angrily.

"Good!" replied the trainee, and puts down the phone.
