Are You Happy With Your Job?

What is your level of career satisfaction? Could it be improved? Do you dislike your workplace but enjoy your work? Is your current career a good fit, or is it time for something new? Every day, thousands of people make a life-changing career decision. Everyone deserves a career that is truly enjoyable. However, many people do not attempt to find their best career due to fear and anxiety over leaving the "comfort zone" of their current work. According to my research, to test your job happiness you should answer these questions: Do you look forward to Monday mornings? Do you enjoy telling others about your job?

If you answered "no" to any of these questions, it's time to take control of your future happiness and make some significant career improvements in your life.

May Yabang Ako! I Take Pride In Being A Filipino

I am on my habit of blog reading when I learned about the Yabang Pinoy Website. “Yabang Pinoy” is a campaign to raise awareness and heighten Filipino people's ethos, dignity and pride by advocating the use of a piece of braided abaca band that aims to make a statement. The abaca band aims to signify a Filipino being truly proud to be one. The band will use the natural fiber abaca. Abaca belongs to the family of Musacea which is indigenous to the Philippines. It is important to note that the Philippines is the largest source of abaca fiber. Abaca is commonly known as the Manila hemp worldwide. It is also considered as the strongest natural fiber. Abaca used to be one of our top exports together with sugar and tobacco. Since abaca is the strongest natural fiber and unique to the Philippines, it aims to constantly remind Filipinos that we are tough, resilient and exceptional. I AM PROUD TO BE PINOY!
