Read previous Myth 2 of 8: You Have To Work Hard For Money

Working for somebody can actually eat up quite a bit of your time. Add to that a significant other, kids, commute and where does that leave you?

Another myth instilled in Filipinos’ minds is…”You have to work hard for money.”

A famous Filipino saying is “Kapag may sipag at tiyaga, may nilaga.”

Did you know that taxi drivers are hard-working? Some of them work 24 hours a day! What about jeepney drivers? The balut vendors? What about your neighbor, your officemate, your spouse, your best friend? Are they hard-working? “May nilaga ba?” Can they stop working today and still More >

“The goal of loving the poor is to help them stop being poor.” – Bo Sanchez

When somebody tells you that there is a way to get rich without a job, how do you react?  Do you go take a notebook and ask that somebody to teach you how?  Nah, I don’t think so.

“Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.” – Robert Collier

I went to a training of a business leader, whose family owns a multi-billion dollar company in the U.S. I was keen to listen to his talk especially that the theme was “Control Your Destiny.”

You use the Law of Attraction in your everyday life. You have used it to win a competition that seemed hopeless or to get that A in a math exam or get the job that you want (or not) or even attract disasters and successes in life.

Although this may be the first time you have heard of the concept of the Law of Attraction, you have really realized its power in your life, but was not really conscious of it.

You use the Law of Attraction, whether consciously or unconsciously, to attract people and More >

by annette in

I can’t help but share this very timely text message that I received a few days after I resigned. It went like this:

“You won’t fully enjoy a boat ride unless you remove the rope’s knot from the river bank… Your dog won’t fully enjoy his/her ‘dog life’ unless you remove the chain on his/her neck…

Thanks to RG. I would like to add though: “You can’t More >
