PHANTOM KNIGHT

PHANTOM KNIGHT

He's the angel with dark wings

From within the deepest pits

The knight from your sweetest nightmare

The phantom from your ethereal fantasies.

He'll get under your skin

And before you even know it

You're spellbound, enthralled and dazed.

And from the shadows, in he comes

The dark prince lulling you for a ride

Should've run the other way

For you'll see not wildflowers and meadows

But black roses and streams of crimson

Flowing from your bleeding heart.

 He's a wolf in a sheep’s skin

Lurking for unsuspecting preys

Drawing in willing victims

Like a fire to a moth.

What was little red riding hood thinking?

Just before she got swallowed by the wolf

Did she see the haunting in his eyes?

Did she see a glimpse past into his soul

For I think I did, I swear I did.

I saw a wounded warrior beneath that facade

I saw lost innocence and long forgotten dreams

Oh how I ache to break through that shield

How I long for the sun to shine down on him.

That one day, just one day

My dark angel would take flight

Out of darkness and into the light.

NIGHT AIR

NIGHT AIR

After the suns warm light

Here comes the moon in a cold night,

And stars shine bright up there

With a cold, fresh, freezing night air.

A night air that makes the birds sings

Which compel tree's leaves to dance and swing,

And within the breeze comes the spring

Of joy that refreshes a person's being.

A night air that whispers a promise

A promise of another night's new bliss,

It is an oath that no one should miss

For it is a heartfelt kiss.

A night air that calms one heart

And assures that it will never part,

With the silence of the night

It vows to make the darkness shine as white.

IT IS ALMOST CHRISTMAS

IT IS ALMOST CHRISTMAS

Christmas is a season of prosperity. You are either spiritually or materially prosperous or both.

If you think not, then you are thinking negatively.

Prosperity is often equated and synonymous with success.

There are many principles by which success can be achieved.

·Conceive and develop an action plan.

·In the action plan is your target goal and a timeline.

·Be persistent. Do not allow your weakness and limitations discourage you.

·Do no procrastinate. Do what you have today, not later, not tomorrow but today.

·Always be ready to accept rejections. Successful people experienced failure once or twice in their lives but pursued their dreams and attained them.

·Always have a second source of income. Inflation eats up whatever purchasing power you get from your regular income source.

·Upgrade your capabilities by learning more.

·Be enthusiastic an all your endeavors as this develops a positive attitude in you.

·Love the people around you and forgive those who have hurt you.

·Don't let negative opinions get the better of you. Therefore, shun the company of negative thinking people.

This Christmas, think prosperous. Spend your money wisely by buying only what you need, and some of your want but not all.

HOW TO LOVE YOUR JOB AND WORK HAPPILY

HOW TO LOVE YOUR JOB AND WORK HAPPILY

In spite of the heartaches, disappointment and frustrations with colleagues and even disenchantment with the management, we can still love our job and work happily. Let me share with you how I did my best working.

·Align your thinking with the owners. The job itself will be more easy if you are thinking like your boss, it will be easy because you know you and your boss or the owner of the company have and pursuing the same direction.

·Work as if you own the company. In your everyday work, ask yourself, how would I work if this is my very own company? In that way, you will do your best because it is yours.

·Treat your co-workers equal to yourself. Whether you are a Manager or just a lowly rank and file worker, you are both the same and equal human beings; you both feel the hunger, the thirst and have feelings. That's why treat them how would you like to be treated. If you want to be respected, respect them first, if you want them to love you, love them first. I firmly believe that the good deeds are reciprocated, maybe not instantly but surely. Every person has innate goodness, an in born brightness and light because we are all created with good intentions.

·Be contented with what you have while striving for the welfare of everybody. No matter how big or small is your pay check, you will still fall short if we will not be contented with what we have. Also, we will tend to be selfish to the point that we will step on other people to just be on top. Let us refrain from thinking that we don't care if someone will be angered or saddened with our actions for as long as we are good in the eyes of the management.

·Whatever you do, think of the consequences ahead. There are days in our job that we feel lazy and we can just still earn money at the company's expense. Think! How would this affect yourself, your family, co-workers, the machine you are tending or the product you are producing. What will happen to the company that you are working for? Will it become sustainable? Will it live longer? Where will you be and the hundreds of others who eat through the company if it cannot sustain itself?

·Share your knowledge. In everything that you do, there is knowledge that you will gain, share them. Never think that when you share your knowledge and technique you will lost the upper hand in things to the one you shared it with. A good teacher cannot be over powered by his/her learner, because that more you teach, the more you learn.

·Do it very well. There is no greater reward than satisfaction and fulfillment in all that we do. If you are tasked to do something, better yet do it very well.

These are just simple insights on how to overcome the rigidity and hardships of performing our functions. It doesn't mean this is all there is to do but this are the basics.
