Entrepreneur

They are not afraid to take a risk. While others hold back they step out.
They are not afraid to fail. They don't allow failure to control what they say, what they think, what they do, there life is control by hope and belief not failure.
Often they do what other wanted to do and what others couldn't done but they won't  do. 

Yes You Can!

What big barriers frustrate you and cause you to believe that your goals are impossible and unreachable?

What negative note causes discord in your dreams or cause them to go flat or turn sour?

Whatever the problem, stop for just one moment and consider the following statement:

" A successful person is one who takes the cold water dumped on his or her plans, heats it with enthusiasm, and manufactures the steam that helps him or her push ahead."

"As we travel along the road of life, many negative seeds are planted in our minds until we often stop short of what we can do for God, for others, and for ourselves."

The next time you're expecting to stop short of a goal, remember that I'm saying to you, 

"YES, YOU CAN!"

And if that's not enough, remember what the apostle Paul is also saying to you in Phil 4:13, "I can do everything through Him who gives me strength."

Zero to Hero

Zero to Hero
Ever since I was a little kid I loved the story of the Rocky films. I have never thought much of Sylvester Stallone at the time. This blog will tell you an incredible zero to hero story about Sylvester Stallone’s experiences with the first Rocky movie.

Sylvester Stallone’s inspiring story is a great example of persistence and dedication that finally results in unimaginable success.

Read the story and let your mind fathom how your dreams can be realized with enough willpower and determination.

Stallone’s Zero-to-Hero Story

Not a lot of people know this, but due to complications during labor, the lower left side of Stallone’s face is paralyzed, including parts of his tongue, lip and chin. This incident at birth is the cause of his trademark snarling look and his slurred manner of speaking.

For the first five years of his life, Sylvester Stallone lived in an area of New York known as Hell’s Kitchen. He bounced from one foster home to another while his parents fought and squabbled endlessly in a bad marriage.

Although he was eventually reunited with them, his troubled past and his oddly paralyzed face made him an outcast among his classmates. He often received suspensions for his frequent fights, poor grades, and behavior problems.

John Gokongwei's Speech

John Gokongwei's Speech

This was the speech delivered by John Gokongwei during the Ateneo
Commencement Exercises....

A Business Education Partnership

Good morning.

I am John Gokongwei, Jr. I am not an Atenean but I feel at home with you. Today, atleast. Sixty-two years ago, I could not have dreamt of appearing before the Jesuits and their students to tell the story of MY life. I was no more than a student then, at San Carlos University in Cebu, when my father dies suddenly. It left me, the eldest, the responsibility of taking care of my mother and five siblings. That was tough for someone who was 13. Creditors had just seized our home and business and I had no experience with earning a living.

But here I am-not all on account of my good looks or charming personality-but because I somehow survived. And when I look back, I know now that I did so because I recognized CHANGE when I saw it.

The first change was war. I had turned 15. My mother had already sent my brothers and sister to China where the cost of living was lower. From Cebu, she and I had to make money to send to them.

I turned to peddling. My day began at 5 in the morning. I would load my bicycle with soap, thread, and candles, and then bike to neighboring towns to sell my goods. On market days, I would rent a stall, lay out the goods from the bike, and make about 20 pesos a day, enough for me to survive and to buy even more goods for next time. Those days, you might call my BICYCLE AGE.

After two years of biking and peddling at, 17, I entered my BATEL AGE. The batel was a small very utilitarian boat that defied the open sea and would take me farther from Cebu and all the way to Lucena, from where I would take a truck to Manila, with companions twice or thrice my age. The sea trips could take two to three weeks depending on the weather, and the land trips another five to six hours. (I was lighter then, you can imagine.)

Who is Mentor?

             


I want to share to you who is mentor and why do we need a mentor in our daily lives.  
- Toby Ramos

…Ted Engstrom defines a mentor as someone who “provides modeling, close supervision on special projects, individualized help in many areas-discipleship, encouragement, correction, confrontation and a calling to accountability.”  According to Engstrom, a mentor is someone who has achieved superior rank and influence in an organization or profession.  The mentor is an authority in his or her field as a result of disciplined study and experience.  This person is willing to commit time and emotional energy to a relationship that guides an understudy’s growth and development.

The idea of mentoring apparently come from homer’s Odyssey, in which King Odysseus went to war leaving his household and young son, Telemachus, in the care of a wise and proven teacher named MENTOR. Clearly, the king was not in a great hurry to get home because he was gone for twenty-one years. When he returned he found that the young prince had become a competent leader and man of integrity, molded by the example, guidance and wisdom of mentor. For centuries, the concept of apprenticeship meant something similar – the guidance of an older, more experienced person, passing knowledge and teaching skills to a young learner.
