The Cafeteria and the Dormitory

2 years ago, we were invited by Mr. Go to have dinner in his 'Cafeteria' and an exclusive tour of the 'Dormitory'. 🏢

I enjoyed the dinner buffet and the tour around the amenities and rooms of the Dormitory. But more than that, I learned a lot from Mr. Go during my conversation with him. 💯

1. He values the people who works with. I am impressed when he told me that he didn't book a flight back to Manila at night (while the rest of his team is flying back at 11 last night) because it will be unfair for the driver to wake up in the middle of the night and travel just to pick him up. So he picked a morning flight instead. 🤗

2. He ate the last piece of sushi in the plate because 'sayang'. He doesn't want leftovers. And it's exactly what my parents taught me too. Finish what you put on your plate. 🍣

3. He told me to be friends with 'competitors' because you will also learn from them. 🙏

I really appreciate Mr. Go and his entire team for coming to Cebu and inviting us for dinner. I will cherish this experience and learnings forever! ❤

Pray it Works

When you have done all you can do and there is nothing else left turn it over to God and open your ears and listen.

200 Pesos

I remember Mike, talking in front of 100 people, a couple of years ago, started off his seminar by holding up a Php200 bill. In the room he asked. "Who would like this Php200 bill?" Hands started going up. Of course, I raised mine. He said, "I am going to give this Php200 bill to one of you" Then crumpled the 200 bill. I was surprised he did that. He then asked. "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air and again, I raised mine. "Well," he replied, "what if I do this?" He dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his black shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. "Now, who still wants it?" Still the hands went into the air and still, I wanted to get the Php200 bill. "Folks, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease it's value. It was still worth Php200. Many times in our lives, we ...

Be Grateful

Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift. When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us. The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had. It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives. Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile. May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trails to make you strong, enough sorrow to k...
