COMMUNICATIONS PROBLEM

By Vernalee

Did you hear the message? Admittedly, we really are selective listeners. Sometimes, we hear what we want to hear and block out what we don't care to penetrate through our eardrums. Do we hear the words, but miss the meaning? Do we become too anxious to reply whereby our concentration is dwarfed more toward our reply than toward our understanding of what was really said? So as not to have the message lost in translation and miss the true meaning, it is necessary that we be attentive and stay in tune. So listen up and pay attention which is the only way to verify that you actually - heard what you heard.

FALL SEVEN TIMES, GET UP EIGHT

By Vernalee

Alright here I go again with my broken conversational Spanish. I know that I'm not as fluent as desired, but bear with me. There's a message here. Translated, Si te caes siete veces, levantate ocho means - If you fall seven times, get up eight. That's right, stay at it! Keep going; keep improving. Don't give up. Never ever stop trying. If you fall, just get up and try again. The more you try, the better you become. Practice makes perfect. Actually, this particular quote is a Japanese proverb, but the only word that I know in that language is Sayounara (さような)! Anyway, nothing beats failure but a try. Let perseverance drive you. Even when your knees ache (they’ll heal), keep trying; keep on a going until you reach the finish line!

A WOMAN IS LIKE A TEA BAG

If there was ever a quote that characterize us, this is it! Just get us worked up...and you’ll see our true self and insurmountable strength. We are indeed like tea bags. Put us in hot water and truly you’ll see how strong we are and can be! Can I get a witness?
