Filipino Assertion

There would be times na hindi mo makakasundo ng desisyon ang mga taong kasama mo sa araw araw. It's Ok. It's fine. It's normal. As a matter of fact, I encourage you that if someone brings up an argument or an idea that does not fit with what you like or believe in, then SAY SOMETHING. Assert yourself. Nothing gets done nor nothing gets improved if you don't assert yourself. And if you're just going to think na "dapat nakakaramdam naman siya noh, malaki na siya"... then nothing gets sorted out.

May oras na dapat nakakaramdam, may oras naman na importante din may sinasabi ka. In most times, if you like to make sure that you are understood and you would also want to understand others too, you have to say something. Make your point... and stand by it. Debate and have a conversation. No need na magparinig. Coz by the end of the day, we live interdependently with those people we are with everyday. By being assertive means you are seeking to live in harmony with your community, and leave nothing to frustration, aversion, and resentment. By being assertive and saying your stand and piece onto something in a respectful and calm manner and avoiding making pasaring would mean you are deciding to be mature and responsible, not only with your actions but also with your emotions.

Happy Thursday everyone! :)
