Bo Sanchez: What to do when someone looks down on you?

Every Filipino who works abroad share the same dreams and aspirations, that is to provide better lives for their families back home – own a house, give children the best education, and a comfortable life once they retire from working.

 

Behind all the wonderful gifts, balikbayan  boxes and smiling pictures of their travels, working far away from your homeland is not all about glitz and glamor.

 

Despite being tagged as “bagong bayani”, OFW experience being look down upon by their employers, bosses and even other nationalities.

 

Still, Filipinos maintain their cool temper and avoid heated arguments when their bosses or employers treated them rudely. But how do you do it when they continue to judge you, be rude and starts shouting at you?

 

Bro. Bo Sanchez is his Facebook post, FULLTANK: What do you do when someone looks down on you?, explained two things that a person can react in these kind of situations.

 

“One of your options, our usual thing to do is to react while the other one is to respond. When someone treated you in a rude way, when that event happens you express your emotions, you act on that right away.”

 

He explains that gap enters between the event and expression of emotions when one chooses to respond.

 

During that gap, evaluation happens. “You allow yourself to say “wait a minute” and evaluate why did that person treat you that way.”

 

He added that understanding someone’s situation gives a person the light to maintain his or her temper and respond accordingly. By doing so, he or she avoids a messy, problematic situation.
