       My Not Really  So Quiet Dad and Mom But Now Perfectly Quiet Plus my False Prophet Yaya

 

Not so long ago when i was the most sought after teddy bear in my village ( because i am the shortest, i mean the cutest he he he), i have this most worth remembering experiences. Experiences because it happens almost every day.This almost daily scenarios leads and made me what i am now a person who loves to listen but also a person who needs somebody who will listen.

We have a helper who every morning before i will go to school will always ask me ... "who will you fight with today? How many wrong answers will you make today? How many time will you cry and teased and bullied today? Those are questions i can't answer right there and then but only when i come home. Needless to say, i got series and chapter by chapter of what she expects to happen to me.

Everyday i come home with bruises and tears. I tried to explain and tell her what happened, that i was harassed by terrorist and pirates, that i tried to rescue a damsel in distress, that i forgot to spell correctly Popye ... i mean Popeye but instead i was bombarded with a million and three questions. I tried to use our family abacus (we are Chinese) but the abacus exploded while i was computing all her inquiries and scoldings. The best thing i can do then is inhale and exhale and prepare my butt for may afternoon spanking delight.

Finally when she left, i can say that it is like a day and night difference. There's no more false prophet in the backyard he he he.And the cousin of Hamurrabbi is no longer in the house. I screamed " freedom!". My days where full of delight then because both my mom and dad came home after losing their business. But the little while of tranquility when our helper was gone was replaced by daily quarrel of my parents over money. 

It is like listening to cannon, mortar, grenade, missile and land mine explosion.Our house has turned into a battle field or in lighter sense it becomes the house of the flying daggers he he he.There are times that i come home still in tears and bruises and zero scores and also love stories sometimes.I come home with questions for my mom but they cant give me the answer. 

Every time i attempt to ask my mom i choose not to ask at all because she is grasping for air and was in and out between heavens gate and planet earth with St Peter attempting to usher her in.(She got asthma). So instead of me being cared, hugged by her it was me taking care of her. Instead of my mom listening to my stories it was me listening to her breathing and crying while hoping that she will not pass away.

I tried to turn to my dad hoping he can be of help because mom can't but it was of no avail because he is drowning in alcohol, beers, gins and tuba if there's no budget. But most of the time black label he he he. Pigadong sosyal he he he.So there's none actually who will listen to me. I was all by my self, though i don't wanna be but i'm all by my self coz there's no one.

So then i decided that i should be more of a listening guy than a person who needs to be listened to. But then i realized that i can't  fully live life if i will not accept the truth that this once most hug-able kid now turned into simply just loveable needs to be listened to (sometimes).My mom, my dad, gosh ! though they failed to listen to me but i thanked them for making me keen in listening even to the most kept emotions of my clients.It equipped me as a Speaker and Trainer and Disturber. 

My mom and dad were really quite fellows every time i am in deep deep trouble. But now they are 100 % totally, absolutely quite. Living in a very quite, tranquil Village that celebrates its special Festival On Nov. 1 and 2, ( you know that place for sure.) Ha ha ha ha. i can really laugh with how God equips somebody for his divine assignment. Ma, Pa how i wish you are here and see what you made me do. I miss you guys.I hope you both will be noisy when we met someday in heaven. That will be so long for sure, so just be patient guys.

The Search is Over

Back when  i was small and Christmas trees were tall i longed for somebody i can run to. Somebody who will listen to me who will inspire me and to accept me and somebody who believes in me.
I searched and waited. I need this person who will be there for me when i am down, when i got problems, when i am alone, when i am sick, when i got bruises. I need this person who will make me smile. Who will celebrate my birthdays with me.
I need someone who will be there when i am hungry. I need somebody who can be available 24/7.
Then he came.... I found....

Jollibee and he made me smile. He is available truly. He feeds me (after i pay he he he). But his presence did not fully satisfy me. I need somebody still, then Mc Donald came and now i have two buddies.They served me and they were there for me. Sadly, they are not always 24/7 for me. In some areas they are but in most places they are not. Then i met Burger King, Chow King and Goto King and like my two other friends they are great but not as great as the person i wanted to meet.

When they serve me, gosh... satisfaction at its best. But my search isn't over yet.I still long for somebody greater than any one. Around the world i searched (just Philippines actually he he he) and i did not found him but then something happened. He found me. He feeds me, He listened to me He is absolutely, one hundred percent everything, and He got something which my other good buddies don't have. "HE" is everywhere and He's everything. He really is.He's all that i need.

Hes all i need, Hes all i need JESUS is all i need. I will search no more.

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.

Wolverines

Years ago (when Nokia 33 10 was still the hottest phone) i was invited by friends to go to a bar and spend the rest of the evening over beers, hard drinks, music and women. I said "no way! i would rather be eaten alive by wolverines!" and i said it with all my lungs and face muscles.
My friends respects me so much and they know i would stand firm to my words and so they never bother bringing me along. Instead they bring in the wolverines .... sexy, gorgeous wolverines.

Don't call temptations in because they surely will come. I have learn a lot.When they come .... Run!

Attitude is Everything

Attitude is Everything Movie: Attitudes truly are contagious! Is yours worth catching? Take a 3 minute break to learn how to stay positive because our attitude not only impacts our own happiness but impacts the happiness and success of all the people around us...family, friends, and peers at work.

Discover your's

Do you want to be truly happy and fulfilled in life? Find something to do that will add value to the lives of people.Choose a battle or a cause that will make a difference. As for me, i am not just building and running a business. I am starting a cause and i am in the business of saving lives.

Many of my friends say..." there's no money on that", Honestly, i was able to monetize my passion. Money simply followed the moment i followed my passion and my calling.

Discover yours!

Yours and Yours alone

For several time employees who attended my talks and seminars and some of my players,  asked me why they are not performing well. And here's my very short and quick response to their question.

"Often times you find yourself not performing great because you think that to do your best and to be at your best is up to somebody. When the truth is it's yours. Yep its your responsibility. "Yours and Yours alone"

Friend, take my word on this. Its your responsibility. Be responsible and accountable.

You're a Champion

Yes you are a champion and if you think you're still not; here's some tips just for a champion like you:

Now is the time to put your ideas into action.Don't just bottle it down in your skull.
Have a good grip of your responsibility and goals.
Picture out in your mind what success gonna look like for you.
Learn more information, knowledge and skills.Keep learning.                                                                       Continue to build relationships with your coworkers., build a strong relationship with your team mates. A relationship that is built on trust.
Lastly, know what you are expected to do and accomplish.

Congratulations!

Opportunities and Choices

Now that i have gone a little bit older ( just a little) i reflected on the opportunities and choices that i have made. Opportunities that was suppose to bring me to where i should be and choices that would lead me to the destination that i want. But i wasted it. I wasted it by hanging around wrong people, i wasted it because of fears, i wasted it because i thought i'm not good enough, that i am short, that i am poor and sickly.
I wasted it because i don't even know what i really wanted in life.Don't follow my track. Know what you want and appreciate and take advantage of the opportunities and choices that is now right in front of you.

Life is all about choices and opportunities, no matter what you do and where you are or where you come from. I encourage you to look at life through the lens of Jesus Christ because through it you will realize the daily opportunities that you have.Wrong choices and not seeing opportunities as opportunities snared me and i have learned my lesson. ( the hard way ).

Just a Suggestion

Do you want to die so soon? Some are actually dead even if they are still 19 but their bodies will be buried when they are 80 or something. Its because they stop dreaming!
Dreaming is one of your rights and one of your greatest need. So dream! dream big dreams and act on your dreams.
Parents, teach your kids to dream or others will dream for them.

I never knew how much people love me until i saw this video

Go for Your Goals

Dear Friend,

I just realized that growing up in your generation today is really difficult.. You face more difficult choices and you struggle with all sorts of temptations and pressures more than what i experience in my time.(just to make things clear, my generation is not the ancient Mesopotamia okay).

Knowing that you have a much greater struggle to face, i offer you this few lines that i hope will inspire you:

Accept all the challenges and face it with determination and perseverance and with gratefulness.

Your generation indeed offers you a lot of pressures and reasons to quit reaching for your goals but be thankful because you are in a time and season that offers tremendous and amazing opportunities.

Find what you truly want in life and love to do.

Work hard to achieve your dreams and keep learning and unlearning.

Strive to live a life with integrity, fairness and hope.

Discipline yourself.

and lastly, keep God as your Light.

I strongly believe you will finish strong.Go for your goals my friend and never accept defeat.

much cares,
Neil

Traitors

I got two traitors... they are doubt and fear. they are so damaging and cruel. And because they are, i will kill them and silence them before they do further damage.
What are you going to do with yours?

Life is like football. It's about not giving up...To win... you got to keep going on.

Waiting?

Still waiting? For how long now?

Hey friend look up, the go signal light is on! it's green light! step on the gas and move on. Your divine appointment is waiting for you to give you the break, the deal, the connection, the promotion, the referrals you need, and the contract signing that you been waiting for. You've got to go now!I mean now.

God will make things possible for you

Hey young professionals, fresh grads and students hear these inspiration i have for you.

As you move forward into days and years ahead, keep in mind and don't be afraid to aim high.
Chances are you will be tempted to do and play safe, stay in your safe zone and shoot just low like those around you.

But if you make a mediocre attempt or not to try at all, you will never see and even know the humongous things you can accomplish.

So be daring to do the impossible, the scary and the less famous.
Stand firm and reach for your star because you can really reach high the moment you try.

much cares,
Coach Neil

Are you in the valley of indecision?

Just this week i met people who dreamed of changing their lives and live the life they wanted yet they are not making a decision to make a move towards it. It  reminds me of this story about indecisiveness.

A fellow who struggled with a terrible case of indecisiveness went to see a psychiatrist to put a cure to his problems. The psychiatrist asked him " do you have trouble making up your mind?"
The fellow answered " Well, uh, uh, you know, yes uh i mean no, no, gosh! i am not really sure."

The key in achieving and reaching your desired life is to start moving towards it right now.

Are you like the guy in the story?
Make up your mind. Seek God and let Him reveal to you His will and trust Him with confidence.

Much Cares,
Neil
