* do not take everything at face value. everything --- including people's actions and reactions--- has a story behind it. lahat may pinanggagalingan. laging may big picture.
* the world is a great machine running 24/7, and we are all butt cogs and wheels. try to be the best cog/wheel/screw that you can be. cause if the machine fucks up, you wouldn't want to be the cause.
*be careful who you trust.
*be aware of factions, but be neutral.
*keep your secrets, secrets. or if you must really let someone know, choose your confidantes wisely.
*the world is a big ocean, and we're all trying to keep ourselves above water. people can and do help and support each other, but when push comes to shove, don't expect them to prioritize your ass over theirs. which brings me to the next point...
*don't rely on anyone to protect and save your ass but yourself.
*know the names on your "distrust" list. conversely, know your allies.
*know the people to please. make them your allies. it doesn't matter how you feel about them. you don't have to be friends with them (though that would be ideal), just make sure they like you. in the context of what you all do.
and another thing:
* do not understimate the power of the "like", a smile, or a little verbal appreciation. they will come a long way.
*the best way to say "thank you" and "fuck you" is to do your best.
*the best way to say "thank you" and "fuck you" is to do your best.
