For a century we have looked up to many people in search of what is Leadership? Let me tell you something leaders are not born but made. It is something we and you can learn. But let me point out something in order to lead you to need to know to obey first and be led by others. And you know what? it is vexing a lot of people what is leadership all about? Okay. Let me take the subject in half. Have you ever wonder what is leadership are not all about? Well, Leadership is not about having INFLUENCE. at first, i thought it too because it is what John Maxwell is saying but the term to influence is too general. when we say to influence, it kinda meant to inspire others to push themselves to the limit in order to accomplish one GOAL. Not just short term but a long-term one. It is about a GREATER GOOD. It is not about the number of followers you have, Leadership is about multiplication and division. Leaders are those who can teach others so that they can be leaders as well. ...

Being a Good listener.... Hmmm... Being one make you a person who is understanding. You tend, or this person tends to notice almost every detail to what the person is speaking. The listener may not understand all that the speaker is saying but a Good listener writes or tends to keep important details so that in context he/she understands what is told. Listening to speaking, or person who tends to observe and listen are natural leaders Don't get me wrong, Leaders are not born but made but if you are a Good Listener. then you have a great potential to be one. here a video about being a Good Listener: Listening, and being Good at one give the person what is the meaning of every statement. They often connect everything you say to any meaning. A person who has Good EQ or higher EQ. has Good listening Skill, therefore, giving them the awareness of the situation or people.

Have you ever done something that you haven't finish? I remember when watching the movie "Walt Before Mickey". Disney Father reminded him that he Need to finish what he started. all throughout the movie that's what stayed in my mind. It stayed in my mind until today and it got me thinking. Disney(Walt) Dad has a point, he made his point that everything that his son started. He must Finish it. That he shouldn't quit when he is almost grasping his success. Finishing is something we need to do. when we feel that the road are too long just remember that whether you are fast or slow the important thing is that we are moving. And Note this, Every once in awhile we may feel that there nothing is happening but there is. We're just not seeing it in another perspective. A very Good example of this is the new president of the Philippines Rodrigo R. Duterte, he is the oldest president there is. And he is in the public service for a very long time but people...

Have you asked yourself what is the correct mindset? The correct mindset comes from yourself, not from your parents or mentor In fact, a mindset is a big thing. It set us up into GO mode. When we become motivated, we quickly set our self before making any decision to make the BIG ONE. Athletes usually do this before games, maybe your mindset is a ritual that you do before a game. Okay, what is the correct mindset? In my opinion having a growth, mindset sets you up to grow and learn more. It differs from having a fixed mindset that limits your capability to do more. It is so much important to set yourself up. build yourself up and read more in order to grow more. As a human, we have no boundaries. we only limit ourselves to what we cannot achieve. We are created by God to be more. in fact, every inch of our body is perfection. If you are going to study the human anatomy, you will see that every cell of our body has its function. It's incredible. So if you are thi...

Have you asked yourself where do you need to invest first? For me investing, differs on what age you are. It also differs from what Goal or Dream you wanted to achieve. I won't give any advice first on where you should invest your Time, Money and Effort. You need to set your mind clear first and think for a moment what is your GOAL. your END GOAL. If you already have an End Goal, I would say to you next that the first investment you are going to make is what will make you closer to your End Goal. If you wanted to be successful, Spend time with yourself. Invest in yourself first. Invest with Time. It is not usually necessary if you hear Investing, It means that it involves money. Let me elaborate and expound first, before simplifying it. Invest comes from a Latin word investire meaning to " clothe in, cover, surround".  Meaning Investing comes from plunging yourself and enriching yourself FIRST. I guess if we're to talk about business. the meaning chan...

What does it mean having a Strong foundation for the future? Our parents want us to be in a great school and study hard because with strong foundation makes a GOOD AND STRONG YOU. It was also stated in the Bible that foundation is the key point of having a great future because it will weather any storm. The story goes that there are two people who build his house, the man builds his house on the sand and the other man build him on the stone. When a storm came the house that is build on the sand was destroyed because the foundation of the house is weak therefore cannot weather any storm. Now you see, the foundation is the key point that yields a good result. A Good illustration of this is like planting a tree, As it grows the root of the TREE goes deeper having a strong foundation so that any storm won't make it fall from where it stood. So, how does one build his foundation? Simple. if you want to be a Doctor or let say Graduate from college. Don't slack too much....

Have you read the book of robert kiyosaki pertaining how the A student works for the C Student? Apparently, the book is half truth in my opinion. Not all A student works for C student. i think it just a matter of how being smart you are. working smart and not working hard. Most of this guys who works for the C person are usually complacent, maybe near sighted(we will get to this topic later) or has no correct mindset? hmmm, Jd. So you are telling me that this are the reasons why those who are top student in school are working to people who are not on top at school? -answer: yeah, it something to do with DNA(just kidding). But honestly, it something to do with how we are raise. we are told by our parents to STUDY HARD TO HAVE A BETTER JOB. but Job security is a myth. Maybe in their time it looks like a dream come true but as economy changes the  C student who are taught by their parents the principle, habit and lessons on how to be rich are the one that flourish and ac...

Hmm, have you ever felt that there is someone that is always causing you pain or stress? Apparently, we have plenty of this person around us. However, we have a choice in every circumstance that life would throw us. Always has. We can either be open to people about it and let them know or let it go and set off in our way. But Dealing with them is just knowing what is your priority. Okay. Let's put it in this way. even though this person hurts or causes you pain. We can either ignore them or choose to approach them. bottom line, we can either put a hard hat and let them hit us. forget that they are there or be a masochist and endure pain without the hard hat. But the problem is we often think we don't have any choice because maybe that person is your boss, parents, friend, siblings, brother, spouse andd sister. but we do have, a matter of fact in every situation we can choose. but we often limit ourselves because of the situation we think it is. but in reality...

There is a very fine line on this Subject. I would suggest that everyone open their minds to this topic. Our mind is like a Parachute, it works when open right? Anyway.. One in my entire life I considered Money as the root of evilness to all men because it costs many horrible things to many people. It can even break up a relationship or family. However, Money is just an idea. So I become to think it over if money is evil. why so many good people don't turn to evil or greedy? in fact, they want to gain more so that they could give more. okay maybe some of you would agree with me or some of you wouldn't testify to me. let's put it this way if you don't have money what can you give? I am not saying that you can't give your time and effort to those who need you most but. Most things require money, Correct? Okay, let me get back to the money being an idea. Before we the dawn of using money were are bartering. It is a system where you exchange something(Goods...

Desiderata Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be critical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it...

What is your attitude? They say attitude says it all. It also a factor that determines whether you will persevere to succeed or not. That factor is not small but huge in terms of getting your Goals done and achieving your Dreams. One biggest factor in being successful is having Grit. GRIT is defined by having the courage or resolve, Strength in character.  Let me focus on Strength in Character, Character or having a strong character will help you deliver making the Big or tough decision, It will help you face adversity and tough or horrible situation/Event. Your Attitude will define your altitude. it will define what kind of success you'll have and how high will you end up. Your Attitude will define your character in a time of difficult situation or Adversity. It is something that keeps us going in the time of difficult time. Okay, let me tell you a story. Failing in school is hard, correct? but being bullied in school is much harder than failing one subject. ...

What is success to you? So what is success? Success is a very definitive word. It can mean differently to every people. the success you consider today may not be the success you want tomorrow. Get my drift? Success is something is achievable, with the right amount of patience, focus, energy and time. You can achieve any Goals or Dreams that you are aiming. The success you might want is either having a Good Career, Abundant Life, and the list continues. Okay, now we've known that success is very different to every individual. I wanna slice what makes successful people successful. well the common things that make them successful in what they are doing or what they wanna achieve is because. 1. Focus they stay focus at all time, they may get distracted which cannot be helped but they get back on track and do what they do best. They never let their sight of the price. 2. Mindful They are mindful in every situation, they always observe and analyze the situation ...

This topic is very wide and broad. so I may thread this lightly and based it on my opinion. Okay, which is great? in my opinion having balance or Yin&Yang is much greater than one is greater than another. Most people in the business who succeed have balance EQ and IQ. but people who have great EQ are Good in management skill. They tend to figure out how to handle people and how to Dealt with problem accordingly. Basically, they are among the great leaders also. I am not sure who is who but most of them know how to handle people and deal with them because of there high emotional intelligent they can deal with life and its challenges in a different way. People with High IQ are usually can't deal with a lot of people. They usually end up saying what is the facts and truths to a person they know. but people with IQ focused in there work. But in the end, Balance is much better than having greater IQ/EQ or Lower EQ/IQ. that's why people who usually succeed in business hav...

Have you ever wondered that when your young, you were asked what do you want to be when you grow up? This is the first question that your teacher may ask you. Basically, the reason behind about this question is they want you to establish your Goal as early as possible, what you envisioned yourself past 10 years ago and the decision your Brain make is what may become of you. but I guess as they said you past isn't the definition of your future. Your past isn't necessarily your future, it may vary along the way. Your Perception, Goals, and Character may change along the way. Okay, let's stop. Have you asked yourself about this question lately? I remember reading the question from Robert Kiyosaki book the same question. And it hit me, what do I want to be when I grow up? Clearly, Kiyosaki wants to be rich so he did. But for me? this question haunted me every day since reading it. And I kept asking myself that question.  I never thought for a second what path s...

What is focus? the dictionary defines focus as: Selectively concentrating on one aspect of the environment while ignoring other things. Focus needs concentration meaning you need more effort on doing one thing. focusing on one thing, ignoring other things. Focus is just Following one course until successful..... because without focus you'll never achieve what you want/desire in life. But be careful where you shift your attention because it is what you want you to need to focus but not where you were or where you are. Winston Churchill, quote this: "You will never reach your destination if you stop and throw stones at every Dog that barks" Meaning you'll never get there if you keep distracting yourself. Because the enemy of Focus is Distraction. like they say eyes on the prize have you seen Kobe Bryant played, if you've seen him play? you know what is the meaning of focus because of in spite of all the adversity and mockery. He never let hi...

Have you ever noticed that when you're a child the teacher would always ask you what do want when you grow up? or what do you see yourself 10 years from now? (funny that this same question is also ask in a interview) It is because they want to know what do you see yourself in the future, what kind of future are you foreshadowing... Have you ever ask yourself that? always keep in mind even though you are grown so much that question. What do i want when i grow up. A simple reminder, about what you see. because VISION is one of the most important thing. Your Vision helps you to focus all that energy. What you envision helps you create that environment where you do things differently. They Say successful people do things that no one wants to do and often this people are the least we expect to be someone. And this people are usually has the vision of what they want and what they want to achieve, a better them or better tomorrow. Have you also notice that every company...

Have you ever wondered what we all struggle for perfection when appreciation for things that is simple ways is already perfection? Have you wonder? Okay, Let me tell you a story. I met this wonderful lady at her Birthday Party, She is already at her 70's but she is a dynamite one to talk to. One thing that inspires me, that she always believe that Her Shepherd. Jesus will be beside her. She told me why is because she has lost her parents at birth and got adopted. But at the age of 8, she lost her adopted parents so she continues to strive and face her adversity. Imagine happening that to me? I began to reflect and appreciate things that I have. That I already have. We need to need to learn to appreciate thing and be contented or else greed will kill us.  True and True we always tend to want more right? it is because we are human and because our entire brain is govern mainly by emotions. Yes, GREED is an emotion. it is a feeling of wanting more in spite of having e...

Look at these two pictures... And think for a moment... These pictures above entail that with patience best thing happens, So if you are willing to be successful, you are willing to delay or defer your Gratification. There is a research done by Stanford University About Delayed Gratification if you wanted to know how it is done, Please watch the video below.

It is called The Marshmallow Test) Maybe most of us will buy the things we want after our paycheck come in our pocket, now this is a very poor decision or very low financial IQ. Wants vs. Needs Needs are things you have to have but Wants are things you would like to want One of the biggest factors of those people who are successful are people who put aside their wants so that in the future they will have the slice of having a prosperous and abundant life.
