Happy Tuesday!
Last March, I was in Mandaue Foam to buy an executive chair for my office. I just rented a new office and I was in the process of furnishing it. I was with our Admin Assistant (AA). We passed by the area for dining tables.

AA: (pointing at the glass table) Ma’am, bilhin nyo to para table nyo. (Ma’am, buy this table for your office).
Me: Pero meron na akong table, di ba?(But I already have a new table. I just bought it a few days ago)
AA: Pangit yun, Ma’am. Palitan nyo. (Your table is ugly. Change it.).
.
I love how candid our assistant was. She spoke her mind freely. I was also grateful she had an eye for what’s beautiful and what’s not. She cared about me enough to be that honest with me.
.
Prior to that conversation, my interior designer friend already proposed to me to have a table similar to what my assistant suggested.
.
She sent a photo of a table via messenger and said,
“Sha, look! This table is so beautiful!”
.
I looked at the photo and I couldn’t see the “beauty” she saw. So when my assistant seconded what my interior designer friend recommended, it made me see the beauty they saw.
.
I bought that glass table and I loved it!
.
.
I didn’t have an eye for interior designs but I have an eye for writing books and for teaching people how to write books.
.
Find your gift and nurture it. Find ways to share your gifts with other people.
If you don’t have an “eye” for something you need to accomplish, seek mentors. Find someone who can help you.
I wish you success and happiness!
