Be Happy

1. Some people want to be treated like crap. Be happy that you are not one of those people.

2. Most people have a lot of flaws. Some people do not want to admit them. Be happy that you are not one of these people, and be happier that you are not in relationships with people like this.

3. Most people have a lot of good qualities. Concentrating on the good qualities helps one get through life without unnecessary suffering. This is the most important thing I have learned from my Filipino colleagues.

4. Most people have difficulty balancing their flaws and good qualities. The key is recognizing these flaws and these good qualities and striving for balance, because the flaws will not go away.
The take-home point here is that you can spend your whole life asking why and never finding any answers, but you still have to live. It is just as well to be happy.
