Lessons

While waiting for mercy at the lobby, i saw the owner of the hotel. Wow, though he is a boss, his humility impressed me. When the security guard opened the door for him, he tapped on his shoulder and said "Have a great day and thank you!" Subsequently, the boss walked to the reception to give instructions, then the phone rang. Seeing his staff busy, he did not hesitate but picked up the phone. He also did not reprimand his staff for not answering the call. Somehow i am quite sure that this man has gained the respect from his staff, who does not care about his position but do what he needs to do at the moment instead of ordering them to do it.
He set the example of humility, where it doesn't matter whether you are the boss or employee, you just serve. He has gained the respect of others, where it has to be earned by setting the example of humility. You want respect? Be humble then.
Lesson 1: When you exhibit humility, you gain respect.

Lesson 2: When you build friendship that has Christ in common, you find treasure.
I thank God for friends here in iloilo and back in spore.
Your friendships have made a difference.
All of you are treasures in my life.
We cannot be always together, but prayers can.
So i am right here praying for you as much as i can.
I will continue to build this treasure where rot and dust cannot destroy it but
last eternally. Truly friends are friends forever, if the Lord is Lord of them :D
