Thanking Saint Patrick

My aunt, who is in Europe called me two days ago and informed me of their plans for St. Patrick’s Day. She made mention of events that they are looking forward on the 17th and I’m pretty sure they are going to enjoy it. Our clan is very much known for our deep dedication to our religion and along with that is our enthusiasm to commemorate special occasions such as the feast of Saint Patrick; which is why I clearly understand why my aunt bothered to make a phone call only to inform me of her affairs and if I was interested to fly in and join them. Unfortunately, there is a lot of work to do here and I can’t leave it knowing that it might disrupt business activities. I’m needed here and I must stay. Hopefully, next year I can spend time with friends and family because I already had the opportunity of witnessing this event for many years since I was young.

I find religious practices very enlightening and it plays a vital role in one’s personal development. Having faith in almost what I do is the least I can do to survive different trials in my life and I am just thankful that I am blessed. This coming Saint Patrick’s Day, I will be spending a moment of silence to be thankful for all the blessings, for the presence of family and friends, for the wonderful life I have been provided of, and for the struggles that kept me strong all these years.

But for now, I have to work. For now I have to attend to my responsibilities. For now I will face my life like always because I cannot miss a day like Saint Patrick’s Day. It’s one of the days when I am able to remember the traces of my footsteps. By knowing where I started and where it has put me today is a gesture of gratefulness.

Expert’s Point of View

Not too long ago I attended a seminar where we received some of a book author’s ideas about business and life in general. He was very substantial and informative and there was never a dull moment during that seminar. It was enjoyable because we as audiences didn’t just go there individually or by pairs to sit alone while he teaches interesting techniques on life and business’ principles. We were grouped and like normal people we conversed and stressed out our opinion. We shared our thoughts after each 30-minute sessions and while we did that I learned a handful of tips on managing one’s life and business at the same time.

As it has been known to most of you, there are specific sets of rules that we all have to comply with in order for us to coexist with other species harmoniously. Each one of us has goals and we do not coerce another human being to simply stand aside and watch us do what we have to do because truth be told, they have their own lives to run. Business is not far from that reality and if I may add, business is a lot easier to handle when we know how to manage our own lives. Business once again should be perfectly fair, not debatable.

As far as a bright future is concerned, I am ready to take my own nest to the next level. My age is no longer as liberating as it used to be so I am vying for a more secured life, which in my opinion is sifting all the possible options that could bring your life to success. In so many years, I have done a great job career wise and although there are flaws in my personal life, I have stood strong over the years. The lesson however will remain until I am six feet under the ground: mistakes are born to sharpen us. Thus, I truly believe that one’s achievements rely on one’s strong beliefs. As we are told by experts and other great people who marked history, “we rule our lives”.
