A 4 year old genius inspired a 16 year old girl.

Weeks ago , I was playing Popsicle sticks with my 4-year old cousin. He asked me to create a railings out of that Popsicle sticks. His wish is my command. I started to make railings out of it. When I'm in a middle of doing it , I paused for a minute to drink a glass of water. When I went back to him , I was amaze of what I saw. He already finished the railings. Not that perfect but I'm so amazed because I wasn't expecting it. Then I asked him , "TY ikaw po gumawa nian?" then he answered . "Opo ate sexy , syempre tao ako e , kaya nagawa ko yan." 

When I heard those words coming from him , I realized a thing. A child don't see limits in his abilities or in everything, when he wanted something he knows he can have or do it. He can achieve it. When we're child , we believed in everything. Even in superheroes , we thought people really have the ability to fly. But when we're grown up already , our beliefs changed. Limitations exist and words "I can't" begins. It's because of the environment and the reality. Yes! But dude , its up to you how to deal with it. Remember the only person standing in front of you is YOU. If people call you loser , weak or think you can't do anything - it doesn't matter. What matters most is what you think of yourself. Explore life. Try new things. Push your limitations in everything you do. I always say this to myself "I don't need easy , just possible". Because when you started saying "I can't" you won't come to a point to say in yourself "I did it".  
Now , you decide.




*Thanks to my 4 year old genius cousin. You inspired me. :)

Negative vs. Positive. Who will win?

2012 na! Dumaan ang Chinese New year. Actually , Year of the Pig ako. Sa mga TV wala ko nababalitaan tungkol sa Year of the Pig.
Pero habang may kausap ako sa phone , napatingin ako sa Calendar namin. And then I saw na there's a 2012 Horoscope-Year of the dragon. So after talking  on the phone , I read my horoscope. Unfortunately , mukhang this is not my year based on that calendar. Puro Negative Vibes. Avoid this , blah blah blah. This 2012 daw weak daw yung star ko. Medyo na - sad ako.
But then I realized , tayo pa din ang nagdedesisyon sa mga actions natin. Diba? :) Start of 2012 I know na full of blessings! My positive mindset remains. So I won't totally ignore naman the horoscope thing , pero I know God is guiding me along the way.
Nasa atin pa din nman yun kung ano mangyyri sa life natin. Nasa atin ang control. :> Kung iispin ko na ay negative pala tong year na to sakin , I will attract negative energy. Kaya instead wasting my time in thinking about that negative things , I will just continue my life with positive mindset in life. In that way I know I will succeed. :)
Kasi kung ano yung iniisp mo , yun yung naaattract mo (Law of Attraction). E kung wag mo pagtuunan ng pansin ang iniisp mo na negative or hindi mo kaya tong bagay na to. Try to switch that kind of thinking. In everything you do , always think na you can do it! Yes you can! :) In that way , malapit kna sa success na hinahangad mo!
So kung kayo , iniisip niyo na malas tong Year na to. Hindi totoo yan! Mindset mo lang yan! :) Always believe in yourself and in everything you do. :>

Thankyou 2011! Welcome 2012! :)

This is my first blog for 2012! I'll start this blog by greeting all of you a Happy New Year! :))
Bagong taon na naman.Thankyou God for the another year! :)
Madaming nangyari sa mga nakraang taon ng buhay ko. May pagkakataong nadapa , nasaktan , nalungkot , bumangon , naging masaya at tinuloy ang buhay.
2011 is such a unforgettable year of my life. Sobrang iba tong taon na to! At dahil dito , mas naging matibay ako. Mas naintindihan ko ang buhay. Mas naapreciate ko ang mga maliit na bagay.
Siguro kaya sabi nila na , "16 kpa lang pero ganyan na ang pananaw mo sa buhay" E kasi naman , ang bait ni God para iblessed ako ng ganito.
May mga pagkakataong si God na lang ang nakakapitan ko. Sakanya ko kumukuha ng lakas kasi mismong pamilya ko ako ang nagpapalakas ng loob. Na tipong di dapat ako magpakita ng kahinaan kasi ayokong makitang nasasaktan ako. Kahit ang bigat bigat na :(
Mas naintindihan ko ang realidad ng buhay. Nadapa ka na sa isang sitwasyon , paulit - ulit pang tinatadyakan. Alam mo yung ganong pakiramdam? Pero hindi ako sumuko. Patuloy akong tumayo at nagig matibay.
Gabi-gabi akong nagdarasal na sana marealize ng mga taong to na hindi na maganda yung ginagawa nila. Si daddy , mommy at ang bunso kong kapatid ang nagbibigay lakas sakin para ipagpatuloy ang buhay ng may magandang ngiti sa labi at malinis na puso para patawarin sila. Na kahit ang ibang tao sa paligid namin ang dahilan kung bakit nasasaktan kami. Ang lagi naming sinasabi , hayaan na natin masaya naman tayong apat e! :') 
Ang tanong ko palagi , God bakit ako? bakit kami? bakit ganyan sila samin? Di man niya ako sinasagot ng personal , pero narramdaman ko. Kasi alam niya na hindi ako susuko sa kahit anong laban na dumaan sa buhay ko!
Pero nagpapasalamat pa din ako sa mga taong tumulong samin para maging matibay. Lalu na ang isang taong malaki ang naging suporta samin. Nasa ibang bansa man siya pero mas naramdamn namin ang pagmamalasakit niya kaysa sa mga taong nandito lamang sa paligid namin. Pati na din ang mga tao na sumuporta samin emotionally.
Dumadating pala talaga sa buhay natin na di natin aakalain na malalampasan natin ang mga ganung pagsubok.
Kaya ngayong BAGONG TAON , ako'y mas naging matibay at matatag. Mas nagiging positibo sa buhay at walang aatrasan na laban.
Alam kong nandiyan lang si God at may mga tao siyang inilaan para tumulong samin at magpalakas ng loob.
Nagpapaslamat ako kasi dahil sa mga pinagdaanan ko sa buhay , ito pa din ako, nakatayo at nananatiling matatag.
Hindi ko magawang magalit sakanila. Kung ang ibang tao nga nagagwa kong patawarin. Blood is sticker than water. Pero hindi ko makakalimutan ang mga pangyayari na nagmulat sakin sa buhay.
I really appreciate life! And I'm thankful for all the people na andiyan para sakin! :)
Sa panibagong taon , nagpapasalamat ako dahil mas naging matatag ako , tumiby ang pundasyon ng pagmamahaln nmin nila Mommy , daddy ,march at mas naging strong ang pananampalataya ko sa Diyos. :) At hindi ako titigil hangga't hindi ko naacchieve ang goal ko sa buhay! :)

If your BUSINESS is NOT ONLINE then your business is OUT OF BUSINESS!

You may ask yourself, "Why Get a Web Site ? Why do I need a web site ... I already have a good customer brochure." With an internet site, your product or service is accessible globally, to prospective customers 24 hours, 365 days a year. More and more people these days are using the internet as a first post of call because of its convenience and to save time. Customers and the general public almost expect that a company has a web site. If people want information on a product or service, they are now saying, "I think they have a web site, I'll check that out first."

Because web-sites are quicker, easier and more cost-effective to update than print based media ; Therefore, you can have pictures, details and prices of your products, the very latest company information, or maps indicating the location of your companies outlets on your web-site. A web-site can play an integral part of your companies promotional and marketing strategy. It also makes a powerful statement about your business, showing that you have planned for the future by securing your on-line presence today.

8 Major reasons why you need a website:

1. Websites Never Sleep. Many people surf the web in the evening when most businesses are closed --  which is fine because websites never sleep! A website will allow your business or organization to be open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Having a website is the equivalent of having an employee working around the clock -- even weekends and holidays!
   
   
2. Your Top Competitor Has A Website. If you are in direct competition with another business that has a website, they have a clear advantage --  especially if they are adequately marketing their website. A website is a great way to level the playing field.
   
   
3. "Just Google It". More than ever before, people are turning away from traditional means of finding information and looking online. Your business should be at their fingertips.
   
   
4. Websites Improve Customer Confidence & Corporate Image. With a professional website, you will improve you overall impression to the public and, in turn, your customers will develop a greater sense of confidence in your organization.
   
   
5. Great Advertising. Whatever you're advertising – services, products or just yourself – a website is a great way to do it. Every other kind of advertising going costs a premium, especially if you want to target a specific kind of person, and there's no guarantee that they're paying attention. Websites are like brochures that are free to reproduce, interactive, and quickly distributed to people who are already looking for them. No advertising medium even comes close to the ease-of-use and effectiveness of a website.
   
   
6. Do You Know 30 Million People? That is the number of North Americans that regularly use the Internet. Worldwide Internet usage is well over one billion.
   
   
7. Websites Help Establish More Customers. According to the Small Business Administration, 50% of Internet sales are from new customers. Having a website significantly improves your customer reach no matter what services or products you offer.
   
   
8. Websites Are Not Just Local - They Are Global. Most small businesses are only able to market to their town and surrounding communities. With a website, you can take your goods and services across America and around the world, if you so choose.

 If you have a business, you should have a website. Period. No question. Without a doubt.

1 Million Reason To Become An ENTREPRENEUR

I am encouraging Filipinos especially Young Filipinos  to do business in the Philippines. Let us start entrepreneurship and start our own business. It is risky, but our country needs business heroes and leaders who will stand out to make a change. Building a business is like climbing a mountain. It presents a great challenge and , if you get to the top, there is a great sense of achievement. That desire for achievement is our motivation. Only in investing in business will make your goals and dreams to be achieve easily and worth the effort and time. The problem of unemployment in our nation is already apparent and even the employed ones are not receiving enough wages to cover their daily expenses. Most Filipinos are spending their years in school and universities just to prepare themselves for good jobs and employment. Only few are preparing and actually starting a business while they are young. We can’t blame ourselves, this is what our parents have told us; this is what our parents dreamed us. Filipinos invest money for their children to get diplomas and have a well-compensated job. This tradition has continued for many generations. But of course, there’s nothing wrong with being an employee. The only problem is that when everyone is hunting for a job, the result is employment scarcity – and that is what’s happening in our country… that is also the reason why the Philippines became an economically poor country.

Business vs. employment

As I said , most of us are programmed to be an employee. As a student I said to myself that I will study hard for me to graduate college with high grades , get my diploma and to find a good job that fits for me. But when I looked at the big picture. It's not in employee world that will make my goals and dreams to be achieve. It's more risky than having a business. I realized that having a diploma or finishing a degree is not enough for me to find a job. It is really hard to be hired and be in position to have a high salary. There are some aspects to be considered for you to be hired easily aside from investing money while finding a job; First, you must be a College Graduate and comes from a high-end school. Second, you must have a good transcript of records. Third, in Philippines accept it or not , having a backer is such a big contribution. Lastly, you must have a good and pleasing personality. Then , if you have all of this. YOU'RE HIRED! :D But here are the questions , what if you just graduated in a low-end and not popular university? What if you have failing grades? What if you don't have a backer? Worse, you don't have even a good and pleasing personality? Is it still easy for you to find a job? When you're employed "NO WORK=NO PAY" right? Some says when you're employed you are assured that you have a money on 15 & 30. Yes its security but you know what? Expert says , unsuccessful people valued security more than the rewards of success. 

The road of entrepreneurs

I start young investing and having my own business. It's not even my course or haven't studied it before. Yet , I grabbed the opportunity that came along my way. I want to make a change and to tell all young people there that you don't have to be rich,smart or already finish studies to start up a business. If you want to achieve your goals and dreams. Make an action now! Having a business is not that easy to start but when you're walking on the road of success, you know into yourself that you're in the right way. You have time freedom , earning while young , helping your family , surrounded by successful people and being unique. Entrepreneurship way of thinking that can be applied to all avenues in life. It is a way of looking at the world, a mindset that is sharpened and improved by experience. A good entrepreneur does not start out blindfold, thinking "I'm just gong to go wherever my feet leads me". They have clear vision and capacity for taking infinite pains to achieve that visions. their jobs is not to advise but to do and to lead. Successful entrepreneurs know that if they persevere they will eventually succeed, despite setbacks along the way. Let’s do business, let’s create jobs, let’s face the hardships, and let us succeed.

Let’s start business and entrepreneurship

But if you have what it takes to be an entrepreneur, you will know that the road ahead can be travelled even if the going gets tough. Leaders don’t play safe; they play hard to ensure the greatest of success. The progress of our nation lies on our future entrepreneurs. Therefore, let’s promote business and entrepreneurship in the Philippines! Yes it’s hard, it’s risky, it can give you losses, and it can make you hungry. Not minding if you fail once or twie before you get it right- beacuse that is the nature of process. Be the one to make a change! Start your own business and success will be your reward. It doesn't matter what's your position in your life now or how young are you! START YOUNG. DREAM BIG. STICK WITH IT.
