Rules for Success

Image
Email this to a friend The late Steve Jobs holding Mac Air. His rules for success: passion + hardwork + intuition Got some good dose of information last night how to become a very successful entrepreneur from the world's most successful businessmen and popular CEOs--Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Warren Buffet and Mark Zuckerberg. Before I drifted to sleep, I watched the three video interviews of these world billionaires from Youtube. Okay, in case you are wondering who are these people, here's a little background: Steve Jobs - -- He died last October 5 at the age of 56 after his long battle of Pancreatic Cancer. But his life was something of a celebration, he was considered as one of the pillars of modern technology as a co-founder of Apple Incorporated and who innovated high tech gadgets like iPod, iPhone, iPad, iMac and iTunes and developed animation technology used by Walt Disney films. Jobs was often called "the messiah of modern electronic gadgets". He wa...

Up Close and Personal

Email this to a friend Because I really want to update my 12 blogs today, I spent five long hours last night rolling my eyes to the four corners of my room, thinking what entry to post.... And to spare my brain from further stress of digging ideas deeply, I just created this very personal post, well, uhmmm about myself. Sorry to treat you to something not interesting but I really want to update this blog before I would be eaten up by another grueling week of the second semester enrollment. @___@  I am afraid I might loss some brain cells if I would force myself to think hardcore topics during the time no worthy news to share  ...haha!.... so just endure this not-so-glamorous tattling about myself. I simply love blobbing you know.. One of my favorite foods, California Maki Things you didn't hear about me Stammering I stammer a lot!It's very frustrating, but the feeling of nervousness that clouded in my system forced my tongue to stutter, though it...

Nature Tripping

Email this to a friend 2011 October 18 Yes!!Finally I was able to visit the other side of Surigao del sur! Against the backdrop of Enchanted River (Sir Asis Abonado at the lower step) Last Sunday, October 16, we left Davao for one day nature excursion to Enchanted River in Talisay, Hinatuan and Tinuy-an Falls in Borboanan, Bislig.  I lived in  Marihatag,  (four hours from Hinatuan), a quiet municipality in the south surrounded with beaches and mountains (we are facing the mighty Pacific Ocean), so visiting another mountain or beach resort is not a fascinating idea to me anymore. But because I heard lots of good feedbacks about the extraordinary beauty of Enchanted River and Tinuy-an falls, I was excited to visit these spots anyway....when Maam Beth Galindo invited me to join their excursion, I immediately "hop in" hehehe. yaaaay! (got this expression from Bianca Gonzales in her blog, lol!) It was terrific...and very amazed to see the stunning countr...

He is also active in sports playing golf, surfing, swimming, springboard diving and fishing.  When you look at him you see he’s definitely worse off, yet he has a more positive attitude and outlook on life than most of us.  And now very busy with his career touring around the world and inspiring others An inspiring man. An excellent motivational speaker in the world! Sir Deypalubos showed me a video from youtube this morning about this very inspiring man named Nick Vujicic. I was stunned with how he managed to live a normal life despite being totally disabled. He has no arms and legs but he can move comfortably like a normal human being. When I returned to the office, I immediately search stories about this amazing human being. Nick Vujicic is an Australian, he lived in Brisbane, and he was born...

High Tech Maestro

Email this to a friend A day after the world received the devastating news of Steve Jobs's death, I am still reeling in shock.. Heaven! I still cannot believe he's gone now. For all the fantastic years he astonished the world with his magical innovations, this is totally upsetting. I admire remarkable individuals like they are immortals as if death would not come to them. When I adore people, I always see to it that they are worthy to be admired. I always put my heart into them, learned lessons from them and followed the fantastic story of their lives because I am hoping I could learn something from them. In my existence, there were/are only few people I greatly admired, people who left distinguished mark into the world's consciousness: Ninoy Aquino, Pope John Paul II, Diana Princess of Wales, Mother Theresa, Steve Jobs, Warren Buffet, Stephen Hawking, Mark Zuckerberg and Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh . When Princess Diana died in 1997, it felt like ...

Steve Jobs died yesterday

Image
.. ..And my world temporarily stopped. I've been closely following Steve Jobs for several years now, his story, his inventions, his unique management style and techniques.  I admired how he managed Apple and how he  led it to greatness and stability. He was such a huge influence and his business principles are worthy to be studied. Under his leadership, Apple Incorporated became the World's Most Admired Company. When I read the news of his death this morning, it felt like someone very close to me had died too.  You know when you admired someone and had been following his life for almost half a decade, you will develop this sort of attachment and sympathy that death seemed a terrible word to hit the world. Jobs was one of the fewest world's billionaires whom I showed so much interest on. I'd read numerous articles about him. This is really a bad day. I did not take my lunch. I just ate bread and one cup of green tea. It felt like my appetite was shut. J...

God is so Good all the Time!

Had a nice group discussion with my MBA  classmates at Chicco di Caffe last night from 6pm to 10pm. We went there to discuss our report this Saturday, our last meeting in managerial communication subject. It was raining and I did not worry anymore what will happen to my room incase of heavy downpour because I already arranged my things outside my room. It was a nice evening, I was able to relax under a warm couch and cool environment at Chicco, I ordered a good evening meal with French fries and a brewed coffee. Heaven! I am not a coffee person, I mean I am not into it but last night there was this urging need to drink coffee because of the chilling weather. God is so good, I finally believed He always listen to everyone's prayer. Yesterday, morning, I had this good vision that I would not be stressed out for this Saturday class report because I could not afford another pressure in life, my quantitative subject already has it all so the least thing to happen is to add up a...

Okay, I must admit, the past days were hell of troubles everything went wrong and it felt like I brought some bad, black magic wand in my hand that everything--- person, thing --I encounter or touch turned horribly wrong, I mean Jesus!what's with these chaos around???? Misfortune after misfortune, rejection after rejection, rain after rain, storm, lightening, assignments, cases, project papers, headaches, heartaches everything!I was able to catch them all, wow! I am on my way to make it to the book of world records of having the greatest misfortune in life in just four months.... But I should try to remain calm and under control or else! So while trying every possible way to whisk my mind away from distress, frustration and tension, I surfed every site I could find in the net that offers funny and hilarious articles and heaven! I landed at Damn LOL and what a site! I ended up rolling in laughter hahaha... HERE ARE SOME OF THOSE FUNNY STUFF OVER THERE World Eco...

One of These Days

One of my very favourite songs in life is Barry Manilow's " One of These Days" , very timely and appropriate. One of these days One of these very ordinary days Your going to call my name And I won't be there After the days After these very,very many days Your going to see the light And I won't be there And on that day Some how I'll find the strength to stay away I won't give in I will not let myself be taken in Again oh no my friend One of these days Out of the blue you'll start remembering And I won't care Cause I won't be there Oh and on that day I swear I'll find the strength somehow to stay away I won't give in I will not let myself be taken in Again oh no my friend Thats what I say Thats what I tell myself I won't give in So try it someday and you'll see that I won't be there No you know,you know I won't be there One of these,one of these,one of these days I won't be there..... ...
