Ruel, my officemate recently tendered his resignation to join his wife’s family’s business of acquiring and renovating vacation rentals. Based from their years of experience, getting a vacation home in Costa Rica is a good buy especially with its beautiful beaches, tropical dry forest and world-class fishing zone.

My friend shared that being able to turn a washed out vacation rental into a hit is the best part in their business; Time consuming, but definitely rewarding. It is quite fulfilling for him to see and hear people appreciate the fruits of his labor – which is almost inevitable because of the unique and appealing designs he comes up with. As I quote from a Japanese drama Hanazakari no Kimi Tachi e, “Hard work will definitely be rewarded. The rest is to believe in yourself.”

Confucius says, “A man who surrenders when he is wrong is honest. A person who surrenders when not sure is wise.” This simple message reminds each one of us that we are prone to commit mistakes in our life. However, we should know that we can avoid such errors to happen, if we accept that we are not all knowing, thus we have to consult the experts.

My cousin Erique has been planning to sell his old house because he was assigned in a different state with his work. In the process, remembered the tips and tricks taught to him by these real estate agents that helped him on selling and buying his home. More importantly, he was able to choose a broker that has this training. Paul surrendered to the broker because he is not sure about his current knowledge. Paul made the WISE DECISION!

Last month, my cousin Erique was able to sell his old home and bought his next home successfully through the help of the National Relocation real estate agents.

I’m currently the project manager of our company, and I started as creative writer, one of the lowest positions there. Based on my experience, happy employees are more productive and energetic, thus provide better performance at work. Three of my subordinates underwent a six-month probationary period. On the third day of February, they will become regulars and I thought about giving them workplace awards. They have been doing pretty well since they started working in the company. I have seen a great amount of improvement in them - they always do their best to provide our customers with the best service.

If we ignore our subordinates and just treat them like machines, they will most probably be depressed at work and produce a gloomy atmosphere in the workplace. Remember to always cheer up your subordinates by giving them a pat in the shoulder or recognizing their great performance every now and then, and they’ll surely thank you by doing their best in everything they do.

It is important for a person to have a goal. It doesn’t matter if your goal is to have your own gmc envoy, own a company, or simply have a decent job. Goals give you a sense of direction and purpose in life.

It helps you get through those “my life is in shambles” and “I’m better off dead” moments that are often times inevitable. I should know; I’ve been there.

Having goals also helps you appreciate life more. It reminds you that no matter how wretched your life may seem right now, you know that it is just a phase and that things will get better. As Rhonda Byrne puts it, “The reason visualization is so powerful is because as you create pictures in your mind of seeing yourself with what it is you want, you are generating thoughts and feelings of having it now. Visualization is simply powerfully focused thought in pictures, and it causes equally powerful feelings.”

Landscape, as defined by some, is “an expanse of scenery that can be seen in a single view”. Personally, I don’t care much about how large a house is unless its landscape either rivals or exceeds our CEO’s summer house, which was beautifully done by a prestigious landscape company.

Although landscape artists and companies abound these days, I still find the landscape at my CEO’s summer house incomparably picturesque; simple but picturesque. I guess having a green certification and being an authority on nature-based Landscape Architecture can make companies like the one our CEO chose to really stand out.

I could go on about how charming and noteworthy the landscape was at my CEO’s. But then again, at times like these, to see is definitely to believe. So I guess I’ll just have to leave it all to your imagination. Do keep in mind that landscape architecture, when done wonderfully, can brighten up the ambiance of your home.
