Daddy's Advice
My advice to my 9 year old daughter Eliezha Nicole:
1. Always talk with God, have Him in your heart, and realize that He is the source of your love, hope, strength, peace, and joy.
2. Love God. Have faith in Him. Keep loving and praying for others.
3. Love yourself, take good care of yourself, and stay healthy.
4. Think, say, and do good to others.
5. Have time to play. Keep smiling. Be happy.
6. Keep learning. Continue to grow. Help others grow and inspire them.
7. Always be thankful for what you have.
8. Be wealthy and financially independent. Always feel abundant.
9. Share your blessings and talents.
10. Believe in your infinite potential.
11. Act on the good things that you learn.
12. Follow your parents' advice.
E + R = O
Our - OUTCOME - is determined by what happens around us - EVENTS - which we have no total control of, plus our - RESPONSES - which we can control, to these events.
RESPONSES are made up of our Behaviors - the way we act or do; our Thoughts - what we think about what happened and; the Images that we hold in our minds in response to a particular event.
So as Jack Canfield reminds us in his teachings especially in his book
we arrive at this certain formula:
Event + Response = Outcome
Take control of what we can, which is our RESPONSE to a particular event, and we will certainly affect the way we wanted our Outcome to be.
Kaya natin piliin kung paano at ano ang ating mga iisipin, sasabihin, at gagawin sa bawat pangyayari sa ating buhay. Sa ganitong paraan natin maari nating maisang-ayon ang mga magiging resulta ayon sa ating kagustuhan.
Now live a successful life.

Do you have what it takes to be a MILLIONAIRE?
I'm posting below Adam Khoo's article entitled Do You Have What It Takes To Be A Millionaire? dated January 15, 2010... with my comments as well. There's a very short activity at the end which anybody can take and finish it. A link back to Adam Khoo's article is provided to know the explanation of your answers.
Have your pen and paper ready for the activity. Good luck and enjoy.
*****
” Do I have what it takes to be a millionaire?” This is one of the most common questions I am asked by participants attending the Wealth Academy Programmes. The truth is that everyone has the capability of becoming a self-made millionaire. You do not have to be a particular age, race, educational background or even have to be from a certain family background to qualify.
Isipin natin si Emmanuel 'Manny' Pacquiao... Congrats katukayo! Kaliwete nga rin ba ako? Hehehe.
The reality however is that very few people ever become financially successful. The reason is because many people have been programmed by their parents, friends, school etc… to have financially sabotaging mindsets and habits. Many people also lack the necessary skill-sets and strategies to become rich.
Ang sikreto ng pagyaman ay nakasalalay sa kung paano tayo mag-isip araw-araw. Mauna muna dapat ang tamang pag-iisip bago magkaroon ng kinakailangan kakayahan sa pagyaman. Mag-attend ng mga seminars ni Sir John Calub tulad ng How to Become a Money Magnet. Ang susunod na seminar ni Sir John ay sa November 27, 2010 sa SMX Convention, Mall of Asia. Magbasa ng mga libro tulad ng kina T. Harv Eker- Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, Napoleon Hill- Think and Grow Rich, Robert Kiyosaki- Rich Dad Poor Dad/ Cashflow Quadrant, Bo Sanchez- 8 Secrets of the Truly Rich, Adam Khoo- Secrets of Self-Made Millionaires, Wallace D Wattles- The Science of Getting Rich, Rhonda Byrne- The Secret, etc.

Just because you have the skill to get good grades and to do your job really well, it does not mean that you have the skills to make money. You see, the ability to make money is also a skill. Just like cooking and driving a Formula 1 race car is a skill. The trouble is that schools don’t teach us the skills to become wealthy. The educational system teaches us how to be good employees in order to make our company’s bosses rich.
So, do you have the mindset, habits and skills to become a self-made millionaire? I have designed a MILLIONAIRE POTENTIAL ASSESSMENT that consists of 15 questions to help you find out. I have asked these 15 questions to over 500+ people in 7 countries. I have found that when participants answer the questions HONESTLY, I am able to predict with over 80% accuracy, their level of financial success (measured by their net worth).
How come? This is because your thoughts, decisions and actions create your financial results. If you have very little money today, it is because of the poor thoughts and actions you have had in the past. People who make millions have different patterns of thinking and behaviours. If you keep thinking and doing things the same way, your financial situation will stay the same. To truly change your financial situation, you have to change your thoughts and develop new millionaire skills.
"Thoughts -> Feelings -> Actions -> Results" - sunod-sunod dapat ito. Kaya kung may gusto kang baguhin na resulta, simulan muna sa pagbago ng kung paano mag-isip.
So, go ahead and answer these 15 questions:
Millionaire Potential Assessment
This assessment is designed to help you discover if you currently possess the attitude and aptitude to be financially successful. There are no right or wrong answers. Please circle the answer that describes you the most.

Jewish fathers repeatedly say, “Bless you, my son. I love you, Son,” and then the father gives the boy a big, warm hug. - Zig Ziglar
Para sa mga tatay at nanay, maganda kung laging nayayakap ang mga anak habang binibigkas ang mga salitang: "Pagpalain ka anak. Mahal na mahal kita." Maari itong gawin kahit sanggol pa lang ang mga anak o kahit matanda na sila.
Ganito rin ang mensahe para sa mga anak. Sabihan rin ang mga magulang: "Pagpalain po kayo. Mahal na mahal ko po kayo."

The $25,000 Idea by Earl Nightingale
I received this thru email from one of my Firewalk Bootcamp batchmates, Doc Lorraine.
"Maraming salamat Ma'am!"
You'll be truly inspired by Doc Lorraine's wonderful introduction to Earl Nightingale's (author of The Strangest Secret) article as written in her email:
To my Dragon Warrior Family,
I am sharing an article I read online today. The $25,000 idea is a technique I have been using since College. I learned it from a classmate who was getting higher marks than me hehehe. Syempre, I copied everything she was doing (from the multiple colored highliters, calendars, books, pati self help books niya binabasa ko din) and of course, I graduated with honors, far more than I ever expected. Of course there were a lot of factors that came into play, but little did I know that a large part of my success during that time was because I knew and practiced this tool by heart. Of course, I forgot all about it, used it once in a while when I thought necessary. Used it a lot when I was working full time a few years back in PGH. I was promoted to a higher position in 8 months, and my salary tripled at that time of my promotion. I did not know how powerful this tool was, until I have read all about the story of Ivy Lee and if my memory serves me right, it was Charles Schwab (steel tycoon) as the company president described below in the story. During Lee and Schwab's meeting, the steel company was relatively unknown. After each and every employee in the company applied the technique consistently for several years, it went on to become one of the top steel companies at that time.
I have shared this technique with batch 1 Dragon Warriors during one of our monthly meetings. I hope they are using it now :)
I hope you can use it in your business and work too. Syempre, let us not forget to clear and release as often as we can. Clearing and releasing does not end after our bootcamp assignments. It is a way of life. We all have the tools and we are so lucky to have been blessed with great mentors, Sir John and Sir El, and a great circle of friends -the Dragon Warrior Family. As the saying goes, "there is nothing we cannot be, do, or have". Everything you want, everything you have asked for... it is done. Let us all be patient. Let us all release the resistance. It only takes as long as you decide to release the resistance. The most important message I took from Batch 3 firewalk bootcamp was when Sir John said something to the effect of "do not resist where you are now". This can be a challenge at times. But it is doable.
We can all reach our goals. However, "impossible" they may seem to us and to the people that matter in our lives. Let them think what they want to think. Focus on your goals.Focus on expanding your reach. Focus on changing the lives of people for the better. Just remember, one brick at a time my friends. One brick at a time. See you all at the top. It's going to get better. It's going to get better. It's going to get better :)
Thank you. I love you
Namaste,
Larraine
The $25,000 Idea by Earl Nightingale
A goal sometimes seems so far off and our progress often appears to be so painfully slow that we have a tendency to lose heart. It sometimes seems we'll never make the grade. We come close to giving up—falling back into old habits, which, while they may be comfortable, lead to nowhere. Well, there's a way to overcome this inevitable barrier to success, and here is the secret: Every great achievement is nothing more than the collection of smaller achievements done to perfection. Even the "impossible" has been accomplished through the relentless pursuit of success, one day at a time.
Have you ever seen a bricklayer starting a new building by putting the first brick in place? You are struck by the size of the job he has ahead of him. But one day, almost before you realize it, he's finished. All the thousands of bricks are in place, each one vital to the finished structure, each one sharing its portion of the load. How did he do it? Simple: one brick at a time. And so is the pursuit of success and greatness.
A lifetime is composed of days, strung together into weeks, months, and years. A successful life is nothing more than a lot of successful days put together. As such, every day counts.
Just as a stone mason can put only one stone in place at a time, you can live only one day at a time. And it's the way in which these stones are placed that will determine the beauty, the strength of the tower. If each stone is successfully placed—with care and quality—the tower will be a success. If, on the other hand, they're put down in a hit-or-miss fashion—irrespective of quality—the whole tower is in danger. Seems simple. Yet, how many people do you know who live like this—focused on "just getting through" each day instead of on the "success" of each day. Which are you focused on?
Do each day all that can be done that day. You don't need to overwork or to rush blindly into your work trying to do the greatest possible number of things in the shortest possible time. Don't try to do tomorrow's or next week's work today. It's not the number of things you do, but the quality, the efficiency of each separate action that counts.
To achieve this "habit of success," you need only to focus on the most important tasks and succeed in each small task of each day. Enough of these and you have a successful week, month, year, and lifetime. Success is not a matter of luck. It can be predicted and guaranteed, and anyone can achieve it by following this plan.
But most people live a life of quiet mediocrity and never achieve the success they truly desire because they get impatient. They want easy success or none at all. They see the path to success as a frustration, an impediment. Each day spent short of the ultimate goal is viewed as a time of failure and as an annoyance. As such, they get distracted by hundreds of little things that each day try to get us off our course. Yet the successful among us know the truth: If the end goal is all we desire, we simply cannot put in the time and effort it takes to be a success when it counts—each day—and therefore cannot lay the foundation for tomorrow's success.
Pay no attention to petty distractions. Enjoy the easy days and shake off the bad days. Stay steadily on your track. Concentrate on each task of the day from morning to night and do each as successfully as you can. Know full well that if each of your tasks is performed successfully, or at least the greater majority of them, your life must be successful.
The $25,000 Idea
Now how do we separate the important tasks from the unimportant? Did you ever hear of the single idea for
which a man was paid $25,000? And it was worth every penny of it. The story goes that the president of a big steel company had granted an interview to an efficiency expert named Ivy Lee. Lee was telling his prospective client how he could help him do a better job of managing the company, when the president broke in to say something to the effect that he wasn't at present managing as well as he knew how. He went on to tell Ivy Lee that what was needed wasn't more knowing but a lot more doing. He said, "We know what we should be doing. Now if you can show us a better way of getting it done, I'll listen to you and pay you anything within reason you ask."
Well, Lee then said that he could give him something in 20 minutes that would increase his efficiency by at least 50 percent. He then handed the executive a blank sheet of paper and said, "Write down on this paper the six most important things you have to do tomorrow." Well, the executive thought about it and did as requested. It took him about three or four minutes.
Then Lee said, "Now number those items in the order of their importance to you or to the company." Well, that took another three or four or five minutes, and then Lee said, "Now put the paper in your pocket. And the first thing tomorrow morning take it out and look at item number one. Don't look at the others, just number one, and start working on it. And if you can, stay with it until it's completed. Then take item number two the same way, then number three, and so on, till you have to quit for the day.
"Don't worry if you've only finished one or two; the others can wait. If you can't finish them all by this method, you could not have finished them with any other method. And without some system, you'd probably take 10 times as long to finish them and might not even have them in the order of their importance.
"Do this every working day," Lee went on. "After you've convinced yourself of the value of this system, have your people try it. Try it as long as you like. And then send me your check for whatever you think the idea is worth."
The entire interview hadn't taken more than a half-hour. In a few weeks the story has it that the company president sent Ivy Lee a check for $25,000 with a letter saying the lesson was the most profitable, from a money standpoint, he'd ever learned in his life. And it was later said that in five years this was the plan that was largely responsible for turning what was then a little-known steel company into one of the biggest independent steel producers in the world. One idea, the idea of taking things one at a time in their proper order. Of staying with one task until it's successfully completed before going on to the next.
For the next seven days try the $25,000 idea in your life. Tonight write down the six most important things you have to do. Then number them in the order of their importance. And tomorrow morning, go to work on number one. Stay with it till it's successfully completed, and then move on to number two, and so on. When you've finished with all six, get another piece of paper and repeat the process. You'll be astonished and delighted at the order it brings into your life and at the rate of speed with which you'll be able to accomplish the things that need doing in the order of their importance. This simple but tremendously effective method will take all the confusion out of your life. You'll never find yourself running around in circles wondering what to do next.
The reason for writing down what you consider only the most important things to do is obvious. Handling each task during the day successfully is important to the degree of the importance of the tasks themselves. Doing a lot of unnecessary things successfully can be pretty much a waste of time. Make certain that the tasks you take the time to do efficiently are important tasks, tasks that move you ahead steadily toward your goal.
Remember that you need not worry about tomorrow or the next day or what's going to happen at the end of the month. One day at a time, handled successfully, will carry you over every hurdle. It will solve every problem. You can relax in the happy knowledge that successful tasks make successful days, which in turn build a successful life. This is the kind of unassailable logic no one can argue with. It will work every time for every person.
Have you ever seen a bricklayer starting a new building by putting the first brick in place? You are struck by the size of the job he has ahead of him. But one day, almost before you realize it, he's finished. All the thousands of bricks are in place, each one vital to the finished structure, each one sharing its portion of the load.

Yet, how many people do you know who live like this—focused on "just getting through" each day instead of on the "success" of each day. Which are you focused on?
The Habit of Success
Do each day all that can be done that day. You don't need to overwork or to rush blindly into your work trying to do the greatest possible number of things in the shortest possible time. Don't try to do tomorrow's or next week's work today. It's not the number of things you do, but the quality, the efficiency of each separate action that counts.

In a few weeks the story has it that the company president sent Ivy Lee a check for $25,000 with a letter saying the lesson was the most profitable, from a money standpoint, he'd ever learned in his life. And it was later said that in five years this was the plan that was largely responsible for turning what was then a little-known steel company into one of the biggest independent steel producers in the world. One idea, the idea of taking things one at a time in their proper order. Of staying with one task until it's successfully completed before going on to the next.
For the next seven days try the $25,000 idea in your life. Tonight write down the six most important things you have to do. Then number them in the order of their importance. And tomorrow morning, go to work on number one. Stay with it till it's successfully completed, and then move on to number two, and so on. When you've finished with all six, get another piece of paper and repeat the process. You'll be astonished and delighted at the order it brings into your life and at the rate of speed with which you'll be able to accomplish the things that need doing in the order of their importance. This simple but tremendously effective method will take all the confusion out of your life. You'll never find yourself running around in circles wondering what to do next.
The reason for writing down what you consider only the most important things to do is obvious. Handling each task during the day successfully is important to the degree of the importance of the tasks themselves. Doing a lot of unnecessary things successfully can be pretty much a waste of time. Make certain that the tasks you take the time to do efficiently are important tasks, tasks that move you ahead steadily toward your goal.
Remember that you need not worry about tomorrow or the next day or what's going to happen at the end of the month. One day at a time, handled successfully, will carry you over every hurdle. It will solve every problem. You can relax in the happy knowledge that successful tasks make successful days, which in turn build a successful life. This is the kind of unassailable logic no one can argue with. It will work every time for every person.

Guest Speaker at STI College Global City
I am so happy to share my knowledge and wisdom to the CoE and IT Students of STI College Global City during their First CoE Society Day. October 9, 2010, City of Taguig.
My topics were: "Career Path with Cisco" and "Networking Fundamentals".
I had a nice chat with the Dean for Arts and Sciences-CIT Dr. Dana B. Tebia; and of course to the person who invited me, Prof. Connie V. Salamasan. It's also great to meet Engr. Cornelio D. Lamera, and Prof Nomer B. Malenab.
Thank you for the wonderful Certificates and Plaque of Appreciation. It's my pleasure serving you.
To Ruth and Edward, thanks for the wonderful introduction.
Nice picture taking with you guys (also to Joseph, the President of the CoE Society).
