The Amazing Life of Steve Jobs

A "should be" Mindset for Every Pinoy Entrepreneurs!

Let me tell you three inspiring instances and three powerful lessons from the life of one of the most successful people in the world.

At 17, he went to Reed College.  His parents spent all their hard-earned money to finance his education.  However, he couldn’t see the value of what he was doing.  He had no idea of what he wanted to do with his life.  Worse, he had absolutely no idea if college education was going to help him figure out what to do with it. 

Six months later, he decided to drop out and just trusted that everything would just be fine, he dropped in for some subjects  that still interested him.

He didn’t have any dormitory room so he slept on the floor of his friends’ room, retrieved and returned Coke bottles so he can get their 5 cent deposits and use them to buy food, and walked seven miles across  town every Sunday to get at least one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple.

Reed College offered the best calligraphy instruction that time.  And so he took it without realizing what it might be worth in the future.

Ten years later, when the machine that is now called the computer was being designed, it all flashed back to him. And he made the first computer with beautiful calligraphy.

If he didn’t drop in to take the calligraphy class, he couldn’t have created a product with such a wonderful feature.

FIRST LESSON: You cannot connect the dots in your life looking forward. You can only connect the dots looking backwards.  The best things about the future is that its yesterday is today.  So you must trust that your dots today, what you do today, and what you have today can somehow connects with the future.

His products started in a garage.  In fact, he worked in a garage at the age of 20.  After 10 years, such garage was transformed into a $2 billion company with over 4,000 employees.

A year after they have launched their newest products at the age of 30, he was fired. He was publicly out and became a public failure.

Many months passed and the heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner, less sure about everything.   But it freed him to enter one of the most creative periods of his life.

He still loved his brainchild products. But he realized that he had to move on.  After the next five years, he already had a started a new software company called NeXT, and another one called Pixar. Pixar is now the world’s successful and multi-awarded animation studio.  After sometime, he sold the NeXT to the company that once fired him. And he was invited to lead the company again.

SECOND LESSON: Don’t settle. Don’t be comfortable.  Look for your passion.  Work where you are best at.   Consistently searched for your ultimate dream.  Keep looking if you haven’t found it yet.  Sometimes life may hit it the head with bricks. It doesn’t matter. Never lose faith. And fight.

When he was 33, he  was diagnosed with cancer. His doctor advised him to “get your affairs in order,” the other way of saying that “you only have six months  to live and to bid goodbye.” Some may call it miracle for one might during his biopsy, the doctor found out that the cancer was curable by surgery. It was his closest encounter with death.

Third Lesson:  Death is life’s change agent, perhaps the world’s greatest invention. It clears the old to give way to the new.  Right now, the new in us, but someday, not too long from now, we will gradually become old and be cleared away. So live, each day as if it is your last minute. It could be.  Don’t waste your time living somebody else’s life.  Follow your heart and intuition. Stay hungry and absurd.

BY the way, the man whose story I told above is  Steve Jobs, the CEO and founder  of Apple Computer and Pixar Animated Studio. 

Many people spend much time repairing instead of preparing. They are failing because they concentrated on the problems, not  being proactive on how to solve the problem, expect the incoming problem and be prepared for that situations.

We Salute For The Strong Determination of Miss Pia Angela Alonzo Wurtzbach!

A “Should Be” Mindset for Every Pinoy Entrepreneur!

Nag umpisa ang movie career ni Pia under ABS CBN  at the age of 11 playing  teeny boopy roles with  the screen name of Pia Romero.  Meron din siyang modelling jobs for advertisements.  Siya ang tumayong breadwinner ng pamilya nang magkahiwalay ang parents niya. Her father is  a German while her mother is a Filipino.

Si Pia ay tatlong beses lumahok sa Miss Philippines Pageant  bago niya nakuha ang title na Binibining Pilipinas Universe 2015.   Sa unang pagsali niya  noong 2013,  ang nakuha niya ay 5th runner up. Sa ikalawa niyang pagsali,  kasama lang siya sa Top 15. Nagkaroon  ng controbersiya ang pagtatanong ng isa sa mga judges, sa pagtatagalog ng tanong na sinagot din niya  ng tagalog din.  Unconscuosly, marami sa judges ay hindi nakakaintindi  ng Tagalog. At sa pangatlong pagkakataon, siya na ang naging kanditata sa Miss Universe  Beauty Pageant sa Las Vegas, Nevada.

Mas naging controbersiya pa ang pagkapanalo niya ng MIss Universe. This is very rare happening  in an event that the true winner was mistakenly announced.  It was Miss Philippines who is the owner of the title Miss Universe 2015 not Miss Columbia.

People who got strong determination like Miss Pia Angela Alonzo Wurtzbach:

President  Abraham Lincoln. His fiance died, failed in business, had a nervous breakdown, and was defeated in 8 elections, he became the 16th President of the United States of America.

Steve Jobs.  At the age of 30, he was devastated and depressed after being sacked from the company he started,  he is the co founder of Apple Inc. and co founder of Pixar Animation Studios.

Michael Jordan.   After being rejected from his highschool basketball team, he ran home, locked his room and  cried. he became 6 times  NBA Champion, 5 time  NBA MVP, 4 time NBA All Star.

And so many more.

What is the moral lesson of the story?

Protect your dreams at all costs - never  allow people to steal your dreams away from you.  There are lots of  “dream stealers” out there.  Fight for your dreams up to the last last breath.

Ang Kwento ni Chistopher Gardner

A "should be" Mindset For Every Pinoy Entrepreneurs!

From the heart warming  movie “Pursuit to happiness”   starring  Will Smith.

Ang  Kwento ni Christopher   Gardner.

Si Christopher Gardner ay nagbebenta ng  bone density scanner sa mga manggagamot. Ang machine na ito ay mas magaling kaysa  sa  x ray machine,  ngunit me kamahalan ang precio nito.   At kapag ang doctor ay nagtitipid, ang  gagamitin na rin nila ay x ray machines kahit pa maganda ang bone density scanner. Kailangang makabenta siya ng 3 unit ng binebenta niya  para makasapat sa pangangailangan ng kanilang pamilya,  sa kanyang asawa at sa kanyang 5 taong  gulang na anak na lalaki.   Ang asawa niya ay nagtratrabaho sa isang laundry shop  para  magdugtong ang kanilang pangangailangan subalit kulang pa rin dahil 3 buwan na silang hindi nakakabayad ng renta ng bahay.

Wala na rin siyang maibayad  para sa parking fee ng kanyang kotse, kinakailangang  sumakay siya ng bus para magbenta ng aparato.

Naramdaman ni Chris na ang kita niya sa pagbebenta ng  bone scanner machines ay hindi nakakatulong sa kanilang pangangailangan kaya nagdisisyon siya  na mag apply  sa isang  intership program sa isang brokerage and securities para sa anim na buwan  at pipili lang sila ng isa para magpatuloy na magtrabaho sa companya nila.  At awa naman ng Diyos  ay nakalusot siya sa 20 finalist subalit ang training na ito ay walang bayad.

Sa kanyang pag iintership,  napakaraming problema ang  tumambad sa kanya,   iniwan siya ng asawa niya,  nawalan  ng bahay,  naiwan sa kanya ang anak niya at saan na sila titira, na hindi naman pwedeng sabihin sa kanyang employer  at baka hindi na siya makasama sa twenty na napili.

Una,  tumira  sa mga libreng offer ng gobierno  subalit napahaba ng pila na kinakain  ang kanyang  oras.   Kaya napilitan silang  dalawa ng anak niya na tumira sa kalye  at sa mga bus stations sila nagpapahinga.  Pinilit pa rin nya na makapag aral kahit napahirap gawin dahil lagi nyang nasa isp na isa lang ang pipiliin sa kanila pagkatapos ng anim na  buwan.

Hindi  sya sumuko   sa kabila  ng mga  nakapanghihinang mga bagay  na nasa paligid niya at naging isnpirasyon niya ang kanyang anak.   At pagkatapos ng anim na buwan  ng  pagtitiis siya ang natanggap sa twenty na nag intership.

At doon na nag umpisa na umaayos na ang kanilang buhay  at  hanggang naging millionaryo.

Hope  nainspire po kayo sa kwento,  maiiyak po kayo pag napanuuod nyo pa ung movie. Promise!

MORAL LESSON OF THE STORY:

1.            KNOW YOUR GOAL.

Alam  niya na kahit nahihirapan siya  malinaw sa isip nya  pagkatapos ng anim na buwan, mag iiba na ang lahat.

2.            KNOW  THE REASON WHY.

Mahal na mahal niya ang kanyang  anak  at iyon  ang inspiration nya para magpursige.

3.            IF THE REASON WHY IS CLEAR,  THE “HOW” PROCESS  WILL WORK.

Nagawa  pa rin nyang  makapag aral sa kabila na mahirap itong gawin.

4.            BELIEVE  IN GOD THAT HE WILL TAKE CARE OF THE REST.

Sa Diyos nagmumula ang lahat, sa Kanya tayo magbigay ng loyalty.

Kwento Tungkol sa Magtrotroso

A "should be" Mindset For Every Pinoy Entrepreneurs!

Isang araw , may isang mangagaso ang napadaan sa isang lugar sa loob ng kagubatan  na may nagpuputol ng mga troso. HIndi na sana niya papansinin ang mga nagtrotroso dahil nagdudumali siya sa kanyang pupuntahan, subalit may kakaiba siyang napansin.

Kaya ang ginawa niya, huminto siya at nagtanong,  “Magandang araw po, mawalang galang na nga po,” bati niya.    “Tila nahihirapan po yata kayo sa pagpuputol ng troso.”

Sagot ng magtrotroso, “ Gusto ko na ngang  matapos agad dito, dahil may sampung puno pa akong  bubunuin, kaya lang itong aking pamputol ay mapurol na pala.”

Sabat naman ng mangangaso, “Bakit hindi nyo po hasain ang inyong pamputol para sa ganun ay magiging mabilis ang inyong pagputol?”

Ang sagot naman ng magtrotroso, “ Wala kasi akong panahon para ihasa ang aking palakol, sa dami  ng aking puputulin.”

Sa tinuran ng mangtrotroso, napailing na ang mangangaso, nagpaalam na siya.

Minsan sa ating network marketing  bizniz ganyan  din  po ang ating attitude tulad ng magtrotroso. Nagpapaka-busy po tayo sa ating negosyo at walang nang panahon para  “i-sharpen ang ating ax.”

Ang Network Marketing po ay isang negosyo na kakaiba ng paradigm sa mga kinasanayan na natin na employment at traditional business.  Kailangan may ii-emplement tayong “new system” upang ang ating business ay mas kakikitaan natin ng mas magandang resulta.

Ang atin pong panahon ay pabago ng pabago, Tayo ay nasa panahon na ng cyber age at modern technology at kung hindi po tayo sasabay ay mao-obsolete na ang dati pa nating  nalalaman.

Pati po sa network marketing business may pagbabago na rin po. At minsan ang naiituro pa sa atin ay “old school" pa. Hello nasa 2016 na po tayo!

Ayaw ko pong isipin nyo na hindi ako pabor sa mga dati nang itinuturo,  ang dami nga po na umayos ang buhay,    ang ibig ko pong sabihin na sa mga bagong technology  lalong napapadali,  napapabilis,  mas maginhawang gamitin.   Dahil ito ay ginagawa sa  looban  ng iyong tahanan, nadoon na ang  orientation, mga tamang skills at training  na ilalapat kung paanu gamitin ng tama  ang internet  at kung panu mag clo-close ng deal.

A really pure home based income!   

Tunay na masasabing time and financial freedom!

THE STORY BEHIND ROCKY BALBOA

A "should be" Mindset For Every Pinoy Entrepreneurs!

THE STORY BEHIND ROCKY BALBOA

May isang writer na mahilig magbenta ng kanyang nagawang scriptwritings subalit ito ay nire-reject ng mga directors.

Dahil puro rejects ang nakukuha niya, dumating sa punto ng buhay niya na nauubusan na siya ng pera at pati ang kanyang alagang aso ay di na niya kayang pakainin kaya benenta niya ito sa halagang $50.00.

Isang araw habang nanood siya ng TV tungkol sa isang boksingerong talunan, nagkaron siya ng idea na gumawa ng isang kwento tungkol sa isang boksingero.

At pati siya ay nagandahan sa kanyang nagawang kwento kaya ang ibinigay niyang kondisyon sa bibili ng kwento ay siya ang magiging bida.

Ayaw pumayag ng mga directors dahil ang writer na gaganap  ay hindi kilala at walang pangalan. May mga directors na itinaas ang precio pero hindi siya ang bida. Hindi siya pumayag.

Hanggang makakita siya ng isang director na payag na siya ang bida subalit  mababa ang bayad.

And the rest is history,  dahil ang kwento no Rocky Balboa ay naging blockbuster sa mga movie theaters sa buong mundo at nagkaroon pa ng sequel na 2, 3 and 4.

Nagi siyang isang instant celebrity na walang iba kundi si Sylvestor Stallon.  Ang kanyang aso ay nabawi niya sa halagang $2,500.00.

Laking panghihinayang ng mga directors na tumanggi sa kanya.

Inspiring words from Rocky Balboa (Sylvestor Stallon):
"Until you start believing in yourself, you ain't gonna have life."

Kapag na-develop natin ang ganyang attitude, we are now ready to conquer our world, discover more wonderful things, abundance, love, appreciation, fear will be overcome by faith.
