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.

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 ).

much cares!
