22. Quote by Marianne Williamson “ The practice of forgiveness is our most important contribution to the healing of the world.” I had a bad experience in the office when I was a newbie, some people tried to put me down. And it really hurts that everything became so complicated to the point that my Boss shouted at me and cursed me, and after that she even sent a memo to my agency saying that I am the one with a bad behavior. I tried to transfer to another department so I applied in a position that was announced, but my Boss is trying to impede my transfer, despite the fact that I was chosen out of 33 applicants for the position. In spite of this, I am really trying my best to forgive her for all her actions and to move on.
23. Quote by St. Augustine “ Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you.” SSS is technically the fourth company I worked for. My experience here made me realize a lot of things. It also brought out the inner strength that I never thought I had. Until now, I still experience harshness from my Boss. I realized that when you know that you’re not doing anything wrong and you do your work, you shouldn’t be afraid of people who uses their power to manipulate others. I believe that prayer really works. Sometimes I get exhausted, but I just keep on praying that one day my request for transfer will be granted.
24. Quote by John Quincy Adams “ If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.” Although I had that bad experience in the office, there is this other Boss who have been there for me. She inspires me to be a better person and to hang on. This experience made me realize that there are innocent people who really get prosecuted. That some people will use their power to ruin another person’s life. But I really want to make a difference that’s why I try to stay and keep my values intact. If all government employees will be like my Boss, our administration is doomed.
25. Quote by Steve Jobs “ Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” My experience in the office created tension and opinions from other people. Sometimes, it boosts my spirit, but there are times that it makes me feel sad because my Boss will create stories. I try to stick to my values and principles and the fact that I know I did nothing wrong. I believe that God will protect me and guide me to the right path.
26. A very touching Love Letter Father’s Love Letter: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbZC1fZoZcY&feature=share I like this video because it shows how God values us, despite who and what we are. Though there are times that we completely forget about Him, He is just waiting for us to go back and follow Him.

28. I like this song by Bruno Mars Just the way you are: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjhCEhWiKXk This is one of my favorite songs. Whenever I hear this, I just feel like I want to melt. It just symbolizes that a guy who loves a girl would accept her for who she is.

31. The milestone to survive and make a difference. As a survivor, I have inspired the people around me not give up. We are not perfect. We struggle in finding our way in this world and we meet different kinds of people from different walks of life. What’s important is how we uphold our values, principles and how we get up in times of trouble. Our faith in God is strengthened through our prayer and devotion.
