Respecting Other People's Preferences

Shanky called me up yesterday to update me on his job hunting eklavoos. He said Lean called him yesterday and told him about Eckelz wanting to resign from his current job. Shanky said, "Grabe naman! Ang swerte swerte na niya sa work niya. Network Admin Assistant??? Ang ganda ganda ng ng pwesto niya, gusto pa niya umalis dun?" He was like, if Eckelz is right in front of him he could have given him a malupit na batok. Sabi pa niya, "Yun yung pinapangarap kong trabaho. Nakakainis naman si Eckelz, ayaw pa niya dun." And then I asked him how much is Eckelz compensation, he said Eckelz gets about 12K a month, and then Shanky kept on saying, "Kung ako yun ayos na sa akin yung ganung sweldo basta gusto ko yung trabaho ko. Nakakainis talaga si Eckelz!" Then he noticed that I'm kinda quiet while he was ranting his ass out about it. He then asked me, "Ikaw? Ayaw mo ba ng ganung trabaho?" and I answered him no. "Hindi naman dahil maganda yung trabaho na yun para sayo maganda na rin yun para sa iba. Parang ikaw, gusto mo networking stuff, ako ayoko ng networking kasi alam ko masmageexcel ako sa programming, pero ikaw ayaw mo rin ng programming kasi alam mo sa networking ka magaling, di ba?" Woot! Although I told him a couple of times already that maybe Eckelz' work preferences is different from his and that he should just let Eckelz be, he still didn't stopped ranting. Harhar!

It's kinda like letting people be no matter how grrr it is for you if you are in that person's shoes. Buhay niya yon. We have to accept the fact that people has their own preferences. They take their own choices and make their own decisions. They are the one who are living their lives, not us, so why the hell bother waste whatever if it won't affect you in any way naman, right? Not unless of course if you know that it will do him harm, not just to your own insight but to others, too, then that's the only time that you should butt in. Yung mga tipong gusto niya tumalon ng building kinda stuff. Harhar! Korniness.. =P

You should just let people be and live according to their own preference. It's okay to give advices or opinions but don't insist on them doing or believing the same way you do or told them. Don't expect to share the same happiness with everyone. If someone finds fulfillment in bitching around, then let them be. If someone finds happiness in disrupting other people's peace, then let them be. If someone wants to believe in the total opposite of what you believe in, then let them be. It's okay to try to make them do as you would but keep in mind that the choice is still his or hers. Buhay niya yun. Unless alam mong magiging kargo yun sayo o sa utak mo, kung dun siya masaya, pakialam mo ba?

WOOOOOT! =P
