Salamat at Paalam

When life shuts down a door , God works in his ever mysterious ways and opens a window for you.

The choice is therefore up to you. It is your choice to sit idly behind the locked door or create new opportunities  through the small window that God has opened for you. 

There’s always a backdoor to a problem.  The only problem is if you refuse to find the backdoor.

People make mistakes. It’s human nature. When we make mistakes, we pick ourselves up and move on.  People who can’t admit they make  mistakes are doomed to fail.  It’s only when we humbly admit that we screwed up can we only move on to improve ourselves.

In the course of our work, we all make mistakes. Some mistakes are costly and may even be detrimental to our employment.  If given a second chance to prove our selves worthy to remain in our jobs, wouldn’t you rise to the occassion to redeem yourself?

I see this happen many times in the cycle of work.  People screw up in work, but most  are given a second chance. I just wonder how most people blow the opportunity to recover and instead prefer mediocrity. 

Si Ate Ron ay nilipat sa Tumana humigit kumulang dalawang taon na ang nakaraan,  Ang kanyang paglipat ay hindi boluntaryo,  Siya ay maituturing na ” fallen angel’ mula sa langit.  Sa kanyang pag kakamali na nag bunga ng di kanaisnais na resulta, bumaligtad ang mundo ni Ate Ron.

Ang trabaho sa Tumana ay walang kinikilalang “Piesta Opisyal” . Wala ring konsepto ng ” “Sabado at Linggo”. Pasok ka ng limang araw, diretso. Walang katiyakan kung kelan ang dalawang araw mong pahinga sa isang linggo. At ang pinaka malupit, maari kang matokang pumasok sa madaling araw, tanghaling-tapat, o pang-gabi. 

Nobody volunteers for this. This is a calling you apply for.  If you are transferred here, you must have fucked-up!

Pero si Ate Ron ay malakas ang pananalig sa Diyos at mayroon siyang  likas na kakayahan para bumangon muli.  Dahan-dahan niyang inangat ang kanyang sarili. Nakita ng lahat kung paano niya tinanggap ang hamon upang patunayan na karapatdapat pa siyang manatili sa trabaho. 

I was pleasantly surprised to see her improve herself.  She did it, by first  accepting her mistakes that got her into this jam.  She then opened her mind to learn new things.  Patiently, she applied her new knowledge under the watchful eyes of her supervisors and peers.  Just like a child , Ate Ron learned to crawl before she could walk again..

Pagkatapos ang halos dalawang  taon na pamamalagi sa Tumana, ibang-iba na si Ate Ron.  Buo na ult ang kanyang kompiyansa sa sarili at maasahan na siya sa kanyang mga tungkulin.

Given a second chance, Ate Ron  did not waste it. She saw the window that God has left open.

Dumating na ang panahon para ipakita kay Ate Ron na bukas na ulit ang pinto para sa kanya.

Iam glad to have had you on board, Ate Ron.  Remember the lessons you learned here.  It has been an honor and a privelege to have joined your journey.

Mayroon na namang bagong dadalaw sa Tumana bukas……abangan
