What the heck happened to me?
Who the heck cares?
So what the heck am I writing(I mean typing) again for a new blog post.
Reasons why I'm back:
1. I just want to
2. I don't want to abandon this blog
3. I don't want to abandon my dreams. (what dreams?)
4. I can't think of anything to do as of now.
This blog posts will be informal as I can be. No grammatical or spelling regards. Although most of my posts don't have. LOL. I'm just typing and typing and I can't stop.
It's just like I'm playing Typing Master. A game I played to enhance my typing abilities, I don't envy people who were rich or good looking or those with extroverted personalities. But, I envy those who type in their computer keyboards accurately without looking. Weird? I know...
I almost forgot this is a personal blog, this is my world so I can do what I can.
From almost four months that had passed I want to make an impressive blog post resulting in too much delay.
From almost four months that had passed I want to impress. Well, at least in my thoughts. You know what? I realized I'm still egoistic. Now, I believe in what Jim Rohn said "learn how to express and not to impress.That's one of the reason why I delayed doing things, approval addictions still in my blood. (Yes, you read that right, I now used figure of speech).
From almost four months that had passed I want achieve my goals. I want to resign, but it put the dawn on me when I heard this from Sir Trace Trajano, a real-estate guru, the incredible man with a goal of creating one million Filipino millionaires by 2020(oh my, I must be one of them), "If you can't do it in part-time, then you can't do it in full-time." I didn't realized that sooner. Last October 2010, I was suspended in work. No, I'm not pasaway(stubborn) I just didn't passed the re-certification exam, a yearly exam so that your company would know if your still a qualified employee. I rarely talk about this to anyone, not because that I'm in denial of my problems but because I'm thinking that no one would care. If someone ask me, then I talk. But, there's an instance when someone asked me if I failed the exam, I said no. I just can't burst that not-so-good experience in front of plenty of people. By the way, my suspension last for a month. So, if I'm saying that time is what I'm lacking, then why am I not rich after one month of free time from work. God must be saying something to me about this, not clear 'til now but I know I'm in good hands, in His hands.
From almost four months that had passed, I tried to find new opportunities to earn online. I tried CPA, that means cost per click. I bought an e-course on how to earn from that, the course had plenty of videos, I watched them all, I registered is some CPA programs. And as of now, no earnings as in nadda.
From the last four months that had passed, I tried to go to Kuya Jomar Hilario for some advice. I don't know the exact date but that was the day that there's a storm coming. But, still I did go in his place in Taguig, it's not so near in my place in Laguna I tell you. The truth is from plenty of people had an appointment with me, I was the only one who come. I value my words, I don't give empty promises. Yes, there's were some promises that I did miss, but never intentional. So, he gave some advice to improve my online business and how to market online my real estates deals.(next story to tell)
From the last four months, I tried to attend Sir Trace Trajano's Think Rich Quick Seminar, a seminar about on how to earn through Real Estate Marketing. I don't have any money so I borrowed from a friend of mine. I also participated in Sir Trace Trajano's implementation program called Apprentice Challenge. If you read my last blog post, you can see how excited am I. This very day that I'm writing (typing) is the day where Sir Trace announced that the challenge was over.
From the last four months, I tried to become a VA, VA means Virtual Assistant. You became an assistant of some online entrepreneurs. I want to become one, I want to learn the business of my client(oops, not to steal their business) . So, I attended Kuya Jomar's seminar about being a VA. I did the assignments, after 12 hour work, I will do the assignment. Sleep late and rise early. Am I a VA now. Well, not yet. You can see the assignments I've done to give you some idea. Just click here.
From the last four months, I tried to join in JanMck's adsensed program, it's on how to earn more from google adsense. By the way, Janmck is very known in Cebu(some beautiful place in the Philippines) as an internet marketing expert. He is even younger that me, I'm 24, so guess what? I also want to pick his brain to learn more.
From the last four months, I was able to visit my relatives in my father's side in their province. In the northern tip of Luzon called Ilocos Norte. So the last four months was not that bad after all. The travel lasted 11 hours from Manila, though I only lasted there for not even a day. I have to go back soon 'cause I had a work to do and my cousin whom I with had a review for her nursing board exam. So we traveled back for another 11 hours. I think my traveling time was longer than the time that I stayed in my father's relatives' house. Even though that was brief, I use to know more of my relatives, I met some of my cousins for the very first time. I ate and ate and ate, what a tough life. They live a simple life, but a very happy life. Then, I realized after I got home in Laguna, we don't have pictures to mesmerize. The truth is I'm not a fan in picture taking, maybe they are as well. That proved that their really my relatives.
Whew! From the last four months. Not a good story to tell, so why tell this. Maybe for vanity. Do I love attention? Well, I guess not, the truth is I don't want to be in spotlight as much as possible. But, to build credibility people must know about you. In order to sell something, so I must also learn how to sell myself. Two years ago when I decided that I will take charge of my life. When I decided that enough is enough, I'm tired of fitting in. I must do what I want to do and it's not always my responsibility to explain myself to them. My first thought during those time is that I want to be rich but keep myself anonymous. I realized that at least some handful of people must knew you before they buy from you. I'm not saying that you had to be a socialite, those you saw in TV that lives a lavish life. Well, I think that's still possible, if Henry Sy would go shopping in his own mall, I doubt many people will notice him. (I guess, your google-ing him now, or maybe later).
To make my last paragraph short, I just want to share. You might be inspired, annoyed or don't even bother to read this.
So why continue?
The title "6+1Reasons You Should Continue" is admittedly for marketing purposes. I just think that title would be catchy for you to read. If you are reading this then I succeeded. :)
Though I still don't lie that this is my personal reasons, still you can get something (I hope so) from this blog post.
This blog post is also kinda dirty, I still tried to make some partitions. This part is what I learned from life. It's tough, just like a bitter medicine that I had to take for my own good. Some may say, why continue, I say why not? Here's why.
1. I learn to work as a team.
During the Apprentice challenge, one of the major requirements is you must have a team of five. So, I tried to find some teammates from online forums, finding people with the same mind-set with me. One of my teammate was also my co-worker. So while in work, where talking about real estates and some other business topics like stocks, mutual funds, internet marketing, etc. Some of our co-workers raise their eyebrows. Every week, we tried to make plans on how to make a successful deals. So what do we accomplished? We were able to sell one ticket for another Think Rich Quick Seminar. That's it. But for me, it's still something to celebrate for because of this lesson.
2. I learn that doing is better than reading.
I saw a book in SM Megamall entitled "Think Rich Quick" by Trace Trajano, that is the only one remaining. So I bought the book. WOW! I learned so much and that was the start. That's not enough, so I tried to attend the authors seminars, participate in the Apprentice Challenge(did I already said that?). So now, my understanding is better compared when I just read the book. Still, reading is good, but doings what we had read is much better.
3. I push my self more.
During college, what I did almost everyday. Wake up in the morning, go to school, go back home, sleep again, tomorrow is another day. If I have to do something aside form going to school, that is some activity that doesn't need much socializing like playing online games. Most of the time, I just follow what everybody's doing, I don't dare to do things that I know people will make fun of me, yes I'm a serious freak. But, the irony is the more I try to fit in the image of my classmates the more I don't. They can feel that I'm just begging for them to be with them. So, I don't do things unless I saw first done by someone. Now, I still think twice but I don't care much now. Or else you're not reading this blog post, right? I believed that we are God's greatest creation, for Him, we are more important than the whole universe. Everyone of us has an infinite potential. Keep pushing, keep learning and you won't stop 'til the day you die.
4. It makes me humble.
Years later, I thought that humility is the synonyms of timidity. When, someone talk to me, I talk to her shoes. "Hey, how are you?" I replied talking to her feet, "I'm fine." That's my misconception, I tell to myself that I am timid but at least I'm humble. This is my issue 'til now, last week one of my co-worker greeted me and I respond a bit. I regret that I don't even say a simple hello. At least I'm aware, I must make more improvement for this area. But the point is I realized that I know so little in life. One of the irony in life, is the more you learn, the more you realized how much little you know. It's just like eating, but the more you eat, the more you get hunger. Continuous learning is the key.
5. I fail forward
There's really no guarantees in life. No matter how much expert you think you are, failure is inevitable.It's not my goal to fail, what is important is how you respond to your failure. Some people become better after failing, some people become bitter. Which one are you?
6. It makes me willing to be foolish.
I watched a speech from Steve Jobs in youtube, it's a bit long speech and this is what I just remember. "Stay hungry, stay foolish." I don't say that you become a stand-up comedian, but if that's your calling, then why not? This is one of my biggest block, I can't stand to make myself some kind of foolish. I know what Steve Jobs saying is not to make your fear of rejection stops you, so stay foolish.
7. I'm a winner.
Am I in denial? Am I disillusioned? I boast of all this not-so-good results I made. But, still I can say that I'm a winner 'cause I am.
Just read this quote from Jim Rohn, one of my favorite motivational speakers:
"The major value in life is not what you get. The major value in life is what you become."
So why continue? If you'd finished reading 'til #7, then, I'll bring back the question to you.
That's my philosophy. I'm refining my philosophy and that will last forever. We can help each other. You can share what you think and leave some comments.
God bless you more!
