How I Manage Conflict?







When I am in conflict with someone close to me, I always handle it right- by GOING BACK TO MYSELF.

 How do I manage life conflicts? Here is how:

 1. MIND TALK- I explore the entire situation by ascertaining the pros and cons. No one else is in the better position to know what I did wrong but me.

 2. PRO-ACTION-After an objective assessment of the conflict situation, I will certainly apologize for my mistakes. However, if the situation demands that I stick to my principles, I shall stand up for what I believe in, adamantly.

 3. SELFLESSNESS- Pride is the root of most conflict in interpersonal relationships. This must be the first to go when resolving a misunderstanding. If a person is overwhelmed by his ego, he becomes selfish and unnegotiable.

 The solution to the conflict is empathy and humility. Always start with yourself.

 Finally, let me accentuate on the fact that our individual mental framework determines the disparity of our reactions to a similar situation. Some overreact while others remain passive.

 In searching for personal answers, talking to yourself is the most effective way to solve a personal problem.

 Self-reflection allows you to understand yourself better every day.

Official Statement of the CANDAO CLAN on the LIGUASAN MARSH Controversy

Image
This official statement of the Candao clan is with reference to an alleged report made by the United States Embassy tagging the name of my father, former ARMM Governor Datu Zacaria Candao, as a claimant of the Liguasan Marsh in Maguindanao.  Said report was prepared during the time of US Ambassador Kenney to the Philippines in 2006 but was made available in Wikileak early this week. In the name of TRUTH and FAIRNESS, we stand by the fact that the US Embassy diplomatic cable is “baseless and unfounded." For the record, my father, Datu Zacaria Candao, has not filed any claim of the Liguasan Marsh in the past nor has he authorized any member of the Candao clan or any third party to lobby or make a claim of Liguasan Marsh on his behalf. My father has openly addressed this problem during his incumbency as a major issue that has to be resolved between the Government of the Philippines and the MILF. As a staunch advocate of peace in Maguindanao, the former...

Defining my Personal Freedom

Image
Freedom is not to do what is prohibited in the Holy Quran but to do what is best for humanity. I shall not be controlled by a Mullah but by the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad and the words of the Holy Quran. I have faith in my personal values not clothed with racism and archaic beliefs. I shall cherish the freedom to acquire a deeper knowledge to guide my personal choices and decisions, not outside Islam. I assert without reservation that freedom for me is absolute and attainable only by me. My freedom is personal and not debatable and I will not allow books nor theories to define it for me. My freedom is my possession and could not be owned by anyone NOT UNLESS I share it willingly out of being selfless. If my stand on freedom will be viewed by others as being selfish, for their failure to think outside the box, then I don't mind. I will not be free if I have to conform to their personal expectations. And I can only truly say that I am free when I know that my ...

Their Wrongs Vs. Your Rights

Image
We can't please everybody.  So why do we have to? We can speak up anytime, politely as possible, but if there are people who will negate your words, that is a reality.  You need to speak up the truth no matter who gets hurt. As long as you speak the truth, no one can fault you.  So never hold back. Some people will choose to speak ill of you instead of admiring you. That is life and personal opinions do vary. Some will prefer to see you down than triumph.  Instead of getting sad, rise above their narrow-mindedness and focus on your merits. You do not need to prove anything to anyone as long as you know that you are on the right track.  It is your rights above their wrongs.
