Don't Settle For Less นิยาย & เรื่องราว

Kung kaya nila kaya mo rin. Gawin mong motivation ang mga sinasabi ng ibang tao sa iyo. Huwag mo silang gantihan; hayaan mo silang paniwalaan ang gusto nilang paniwalaan. Don’t fight with people like them, because that will only make you look low-class. They will only make you look cheap. Hindi mo kailangan maging matalino o mayaman para magawa ang mga bagay na nagagawa ng iba. Sapat na ang tibay, tapang, at lakas ng loob na meron ka para pantayan sila.

Sofia reached out and held my hand. “You deserve more than one night, Kat. You deserve someone who’ll show up every day, not just in moments. Someone who will love you the way you love them—genuinely, wholeheartedly, and without holding back. Because at the end of the day, that’s what we all deserve: a love that doesn’t make us question our worth, but reminds us why we should never settle for less.” Ngumiti ako ng tipid, pilit ipinapakita na okay lang ako kahit obvious na hindi. Pero bago pa ako makapagsalita, naunahan ako ni Jem.

"Ang mahalaga, magpatuloy ako. Hindi ko kailangang maglakbay mag-isa. Hindi ko kailangang maging perpekto." Sa mga salitang iyon, nagbago ang pananaw ni Liza sa buhay. Alam niyang hindi siya kailangang maging isang superhero upang magtagumpay. Ang bawat hakbang, gaano man kaliit, ay mahalaga. Sa likod ng bawat pagluha at pagsubok, natutunan niyang tanggapin na ang bawat kwento ng buhay ay may kahulugan. At sa bawat pagngiti, may mga sugat na natutunan nilang paghilumin—sama-sama, bilang isang komunidad. ---

Nagpatuloy siyang magtrabaho nang walang pag-aatubili, at sa bawat araw, lumalakas ang kanyang tiwala sa sariling kakayahan. Sa kabila ng pagiging malamig at walang pakundangan ni Xavier, natutunan ni Antonette na hindi ang bawat tao’y kayang magbigay ng pagmamahal o pang-unawa. Ngunit higit sa lahat, napagtanto niyang hindi siya nakadepende sa mga papuri o pagsang-ayon ng ibang tao. Sa huli, ang pinakaimportanteng bagay ay ang kanyang kakayahan na bumangon, magpatuloy, at magtagumpay sa sarili niyang paraan.

These dreams act as aspirations, motivating you to aim higher, to craft memorable experiences, and to grow together continually. Refusing to settle for the minimum doesn't mean disregarding the beauty in simplicity; it's about embracing the potential for greatness, both individually and as a couple. It's acknowledging that life is a journey full of chances for growth and fulfillment, and dreaming big is a crucial part of that journey. Extravagant dates aren't just about material indulgence; they're about investing in shared experiences, forging lasting memories, and strengthening the bond between you and your partner. Whether it's dining at a fancy restaurant, going on a luxurious vacation,

“Bakit hindi mo na lang tanggapin ang pera? Hindi madaling kitain ang ganoon kalaking halaga.” “Totoo naman—” “Bakit nga hindi mo na lang tanggapin?” tanong na naman nitong muli sa kanya. “Dahil hindi ko kayang ipagpalit ang pangarap ko,” may diing sabi niya. “Hindi ka maisasalba ng pangarap mo kung mawawala ka na sa mundo,” mahina nitong sambit. “We can add another million—” “Hindi pa rin, Donna,” seryoso niyang sambit matapos itong titigan sa mga mata.

"Ms. Agape, I'm disappointed at you. I'll give you the consequences for violating the rule but, this would be the first and last." Tumango ako at napangiti. "Opo, salamat po." "If this is really your dream, work hard for it. 'Wag kang mang-abuso ng iba para lang tulungan ka. Instead, work hard to reach your dream. 'Cause that's more satisfying." "And you, Mr. Lorcan. I didn't know you would do something like this. I guess you're aware on the consequences."

“You’re risking the Marquez reputation. I know you resent Tito Alej, but since it already happened, we should minimize the damage—not act on impulse.” “I don’t need to explain myself,” putol ni Damion. “I do what makes me happy.” Pagkatapos ay iniba niya ang usapan. “Enough about me. What about you? Still no progress?” Agad na naunawaan ni Seth ang ibig sabihin at ngumiti nang mapait. “The falling flowers are willing, but the flowing water is heartless. Mahaba pa ang lalakbayin.” “Nothing is impossible,” sagot ni Damion. “If you persist, the clouds will part.”

Napangiti ako dahil halata namang natigilan siya sa sinabi kong iyon. "Tama ka naman. Sabi mo nga ay lahat ng gusto ko ay nakukuha ko, 'di ba? Wanna know my the secret?" Ibinulong ko sa kanya ang huling katanungan ko. Hindi naman siya umimik o ni lingonin ako. "I don't give up easily. I work hard to achieve the things I strongly desire. When you give your best in something, don't you deserve to receive rewards? When you study diligently, you deserve to be at the top of the class, right? That's just the way the world works. It only ends when you give up, Faller."

Hindi niya alam kung bakit biglang kumirot ang kanyang dibdib. Marahil dahil walang taong nagsabi sa kanya ng ganoong bagay noon. Walang nagsabing may karapatan siya. Walang nagsabing maaari siyang humiling. "The words compromise and settle have never existed in my dictionary." Natahimik si Beatrice Sa loob ng maraming taon ay natuto siyang mamuhay nang mag-isa. Natuto siyang huwag umasa.
