You can be better or best. Just choose to be one.(My story)

I have observed early in my career as a Speaker, Trainer and Coach that the people who holds a high and impressive credentials were not the most successful and fulfilled individuals. Many of the successful people are the ones coming from poverty and failure. They don't really have impressive credentials.

Some of this people even had terrible school days and grades.Yet they learn from it all. From failure they rise with clear and high hope, determination and they choose to be unstoppable. When i was in my basic education years i am the most famous kid during the checking of exam papers and in the giving of scores and grades. Almost every one expects me to get the score of two.

Actually, my classmates ( all of them including my crush ) conspires to give me the score of two even if i get 4 because there is a satisfying and brain shaking laughter (parang fiesta lang) when my teacher calls for my score.The moment my teacher ask for my rating she says "Ko" (my last name) everyone in unison will shout 2 and they laugh. why? Here's the answer.... Ko 2.

I also receive a very humbling rate of F which means i failed, yet to comfort my self i always interpret it as Famous, Fabulous, Fascinating and Fazzar (like pasar, passed in English).I thought the red lines my teacher puts on the words i wrote on my essay paper where her favorite lines.( it was actually words spelled wrongly)

Yep i never had an impressive grades, rating and credentials but i am getting closer now to my satisfying, fulfilling and successful life.The Ko 2 before which means ... that tiny crawling creature on your scalp swinging and sliding on every strand of your hair and often times resting with a straw dug into to your scalp to suck the beauty and power from you has now become a different Ko 2. It is now a Ko 2 life. Because now i give hope, inspires people, push people to become and be at their best and coach people to reach their desired destination.
