Advice for the Day: Compliment!

Getting angry is one of the emotions I carefully avoid because we tend to do or say stuff that we don't really mean. Sometimes when I'm really enraged, I scare myself because I might transform into an aswang or manananggal (fictional monsters). Just kidding. I abhor getting mad because it's stressful, energy-draining and hurts people (verbally or physically) in the process.

If you have been a regular reader here, you know that the last time I gnashed my teeth in anger was two months ago. It involved my boss, a misunderstanding, and a heated argument through text messages in the middle of the night. To cut the story short, we said things to each other that maddened both of us. We're okay now, by the way. We resolved the problem by settling it in the office like mature adults. Thank God for that. I was at the verge of calling it quits, you know.

Speaking of work-related anger, let me share you an article that I read to reduce the risk of cat fights not only with your boss, but with your colleagues. Remember this phrase: Compliments are like fertilizer. It will not work well until it is spreaded around liberally. If your officemate has done a good job and raked praises from others, approach his/her and tell that person that you think he/she deserves those flattering remarks. You can also ask tips on how to improve your working skills. It's just all about staying positive and optimistic despite the pressure and tight deadlines, people. It will be hard to put up a smiling front all the time but hey, you've got nothing to lose when you do it.
