One of the biggest regrets I always have is not stepping up to stop any dysfunction or ineffective decision on a tricky situation.
I'm in doubt if I had the skills. I'm not sure that I thought it was my job. Will they listen to me? At one point, the trust was so low, I’m not sure that I cared enough. Until I did nothing and just gone with the flow. Which eventually resulted to an undesirable consequences.
So what does this have to do with boiling a frog?
There is a fascinating early 19th century science experiments. Researchers found that when they put a frog in a pan of boiling water, the frog just quickly jumped out.
On the other hand, put a frog in a pan of cold water then start heating the water slowly.
As the temperature of the water rises, the frog is able to adjust its body temperature accordingly.
The frog keeps on adjusting with increase in temperature.
Just when the water is about to reach boiling point, the frog is not able to adjust anymore.
At that point the frog decides to jump out...
The frog tries to jump but is unable to do so, because it has lost all its strength in adjusting with the rising water temperature...
Very soon the frog dies.
What killed the frog?
We all know Arnold Schwarzenegger. Much well know as the Terminator, Conan the Barbarian, or the California Governor. An Austrian-American actor, model, producer, director, activist, businessman, investor, writer, philanthropist, former professional bodybuilder, and politician. An icon of success.
Well, of course, many people ask him all the time, "What is the secret to success?"
But before we start, I just wanted to say that these are Arnold Schwarzenegger's rules. I think that they can apply to anyone, but that is for you to decide, because not everyone is the same. There are some people that just like to kick back and coast through life. And others want to be very intense and want to be number one and want to be successful. And that's what Arnold Schwarzenegger like.
He always wanted to be very intense, he always wanted to be number one. He took it very seriously, his career. So this was the same when he started with bodybuilding. He didn't want to just be a bodybuilding champion, he wanted to be the best bodybuilder of all time. The same was in the movies. He didn't want to just be a movie star; he wanted to be a great movie star that is the highest paid movie star and have above-the-title billing.
And so this intensity always paid off for him, this commitment always paid off for him. These are key principles that have brought him incredible success in several careers, from bodybuilding to acting and from public service to politics:
• Trust yourself
• Break some rules
• Don’t be afraid to fail
• Ignore the naysayers
• Work like hell
• Give something back
The first rule is: Trust yourself.
Most of us are afraid of rejections. And mostly, fears prevails over desires. That's why most of us just gave up on our dreams.
Pero kung meron ka ng deep reason WHY to achieve your ambition, walang makakapigil pa sa'yo, regardless of your age. Because it is never too late to succeed.
All you need is perseverance, dedication, and ambition along with hard work.
Na-inspire ako sa kwento ni Harland "The Kentucky Colonel" Sanders or much well know as Colonel Sanders, the founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC).
Colonel Sanders was an entrepreneur who didn't become a professional chef until he was 40, didn't franchise Kentucky Fried Chicken until he was 62, and didn't become an icon until after he sold his company at 75.
Malamang nakatikim ka na rin ng kanyang very famous na “finger lickin’ good” Kentucky Fried Chicken. ☺
Whether you like KFC or not, the story of Colonel Harland Sanders is truly amazing. This story is inspirational because it’s an example of how perseverance, dedication, and ambition along with hard work can create success; regardless of your age.
One of the most amazing aspects of his life is the fact that when he reached the age of 65, after running a restaurant and some franchise for several years, Colonel Sanders found himself penniless.
He retired and received his first social security check which was for $105 that pissed him off. And that was just the beginning of his international fame and financial success story..
Kung hindi mo pa alam yung istorya, Ganito yun…
Saving money is paying yourself first.
It helps you prepare for sudden emergencies, put you on track for long-term goals and even allows you to take some much-needed time for yourself.
But not everyone knows the best ways to save.
Sometimes you get caught up with paying bills.
Until you forget to pay the most important person - YOURSELF.
That's why it's essential to create a savings' plan that works for you.
Saving in general can be hard to do. So set a financial goal and figure out how much you'll need to set aside each month to get there. . . . which leads to the next question, "where to set it aside?"
Narinig mo na ba ang istorya ng California Gold Rush?
This is a great story that we can learn strategies on taking ahead of the opportunity, using your resources and the power of supply and demand.
Noong 1848 sa San Fancisco, Gold Rush days ay yung panahon na nagkagulo ang maraming tao dahil sa pagkakadiskubre ng ginto sa San Francisco river.
The California Gold Rush was made famous by Samuel Brennan. Si Sam Brennan ang nasa likod ng famous quote na...
If You Want To Become Rich Fast..."Don't Dig For Gold - Sell Shovels!"
Mangangalakal o businessman itong si Sam Brennan. Nag mamayari ng isang newspaper publishing company at ilang mga stores sa San Francisco malapit sa ilog kung saan nadiskubre ang mga ginto.
Noong unang na-discover ang ginto sa San Francisco river noong January 24, 1848 ay inilihim muna ng mga nakadiskubre ang tungkol sa ginto. Ayaw kasi nila na pagkaguluhan ng mga tao ang nadiskubre nila. Masasabutahe kasi ang plano nilang agricultural empire kung magkakaroon ng malawakang pagmimina ng ginto.
Pero hindi rin nagtagal, kumalat na sa mga tao ang balita na may ginto na makukuha sa ilog. That's the time Samuel Brennan take advantage of the opportunity, used his newspaper publishing company and the power of supply and demand.
