Turnaround

"Do not do unto others what you want others not to do unto you"
- Confucius

I judge people too quickly. I admit that. A few weeks ago, I was sent to a different office to do some stuff. There's this new person there who I found annoying---for no reason. I avoided talking to her, but then I realized I had no reason to do this. I guess she sensed it, or thought I didn't want to be approached.

But I don't want to make more enemies/haters. I'm starting too see why I'm such a people-repellent. I looked for a common interest. I didn't find it too difficult to look for one, because immediately I saw that we have the same laptop (Lenovo S10-2), she likes music, and she sings too! I chatted her a bit---and I think what I did was enough to change her opinion.

It has been a week mula nung makabalik ako dito sa Head Office. Bumalik na rin siya kanina dito. When I saw her, I greeted her, and she greeted me back. I just earned a friend. =)

Maybe for others this is a common story...but for someone who has problems with making friends [like me], this is a milestone. 1UP!
