Professionalism

It is sometimes difficult to identify the true meaning of professionalism.Many individuals use professionalism as a mask to cover their lack of ability to do their work effectively.Others use it to impress and others use it to gain power.

What is professionalism then? Professionalism is generally viewed as focused, accountable, competent,confident, with respect for others and motivated towards a goal.This means you draw out the outburst and emotional thralls that accompanies stressful situations and accomplishments.

Professionalism can also be defined as adhering to the accepted standards of a profession and placing the interest of the public or the clients above the individual's immediate needs.A commitment to meet the expectations of their clients of prompt and reliable services.

Some say professionalism is all gone and people are just working for the money.That is absolutely wrong.I can prove to the world that there are still millions of workers who displays professionalism.I have proven it to my self last Saturday when i had breakfast at JOLLIBEE Mandaue ubos branch.

I went there for breakfast before my business appointment and to my surprise the crew and staff who works there were so focused with great customer service attitude inspite of their being busy.They showed great professionalism and a love for their work.Without excited, motivated and workers that works with professionalism a company will not be able to stay dedicated and focused for the long haul.Congratulations to the staff and crew of JolliBEE Mandaue ubos branch especially those who are on duty last Saturday March 13,20010 for being professional and for loving your job and your customers.Professionalism is not yet gone because of you.Congratulations!

Follow Your Dreams

As i am writing this i am having fever with body pains and i am nursing my self. I wanted to take this day off but i can't help my self but write something about the wonderful fourth year students of Guilhungan National High School.During the retreat i discovered their not easy experiences in life. Some of them have to endure hunger, have to work in the sugar field, construction and some went through the pain of not seeing a father, mother and even both.

They endured all those for one reason " they have a dream ".To the fourth year students of GNHS, you have my honor and my respect.You have a sacred story!Your experiences is an inspiration to every student who feels like giving up.Go for your dreams guys.By the way i would like to give honor to the fourth year faculty and to the school principal Mr.Uly Zulueta.You invested your time and even your life to your students.You are heroes.

No Fear

Hi how are you? Let me share to you this story that was shared to me by my friend just a few minutes before i conquered the great WHITE CAVE of Camp 7 together with the fantastic fourth year students of East Visayan Academy.

Don't let Fear Hold You Back

A man eager to know what lies ahead for him went to see a fortune teller.As the fortune teller looked into the magic ball he waited curiously.He noticed that the fortune teller is perspiring and shaking her head as she was looking into the magic ball.Then her facial expression said it all.She said " you will have an accident soon and you will die.How will it happen? the man asked."It will involved a vehicle probably a car, truck, motor bike or anything that has wheels and tires", the fortune teller replied.

The man went home disappointed and he keep on thinking how can he avoid the accident foretold by the woman.For two months he agonized thinking of a way.His death due to vehicular accident keeps running in his thought's day in and day out.Finally he made a decision to lock himself in his house.He never went out because of fear and he just stayed in his house for 3 long months.

One morning he decided to go to the kitchen to get some breakfast.His youngest son had left his toy bus on the stairs.The man stepped on the toy on his way down the stairs.He slipped, rolled down the stairs and knocked his head on the concrete floor and died instantly.It indeed involved a vehicle.

This is just a story but there is something to it.Not about believing the fortune tellers for sure.

Here's the moral of the story:

Don't lock yourself, your dream and your future out of fear.Live a life of purpose.Make use of your core gift.Enjoy your passion.Don't lock yourself away.You are God's redeemed child live not in fear!

How do you see it?


I have seen a lot of people who look like they are bombarded by all the circumstances in the world.They have drooping shoulders that made them look like a human question mark.I met one guy who use to look like an action star but now he looks like a soldier from ancient Mesopotamia because of how he views his circumstance.Let me share to you what i have told him which actually helped him.

Your circumstance are not negative or positive whatever it is.Like Mathematics they are "the givens" and are neutral.But it is your way of thinking and your perspective that made the circumstance in your life appear negative or positive.If you have considered an event in your life as bad, then there must be something good about it.Everything has its opposite.

Take a look at your bag if you are holding one. Your office if you are in your workplace right now.Your room if you are in your house.Did you notice that there is an inside and outside part of it? right ? Lets turn the table and make it more personal.Look at your body.Yes your gorgeous body! ( take a second look he he he) just kidding.It has left and right side, front and back part right?

The law of Polarity says that in everything their is an opposite - it is equal and opposite.If you are five feet from your door, your door is five feet from you.I motivate and inspire people but it does't excuse me from circumstances that made me cry a river, makes me scream makes me scream!(that line is from a song) Here's what i do... i draw a circle and i put at the center my circumstance and i navigate around it until i am on the other side and i look at the situation from there.

Honest! it is much clearer to see things from there.What is your circumstance right now?
got no cell phone load? having a flat tire? you failed in the exams? no date for valentines day?
Every problem, every circumstance can be viewed two ways.The way you look at a circumstance determines the quality of life you live.

Do you find this idea difficult? Look at it from a different perspective.

" Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equivalent or a greater benefit" Napoleon Hill

You can manage your life


Have you read of 80/20 % rule? It is one of the most effective concept in time or life management. It is founded by Vilfredo Pareto in 1895.

The principle says that 20% of your activities will account for 80% of your results, 20% of your customers will account 80% of your sales, 20% of your products or services will account 80% of your profits, 20% of your task will account 80% of the value of what you do and so on.

This means that if you have a list of ten items to do, two of those items will turn out to be worth five or ten times or more than the other eight items put together.The most precious task you can do everyday are more often the most difficult and complex but the rewards can be amazing.

For this reason, you must refuse to work on task in the bottom of 80% while you still have the task in the top 20% left undone.Time management is really life management.It is about taking control over the sequence of events.

It is about having control over what you do next.Your ability to choose between the less important and important will determine your success in life and in your career.
