  • Goals Commitment Reason

    Goals Commitment Reason

    There are reasons why the sun keeps on shining and not giving up on us. Like the sun, we must have the reason why we should wake up and do something. I am sharing you the short situation about goals, commitment and why we must have a deep reasons. Because reasons can power up your goals and commitment.

    The rich man is giving his $10 Million to you. Both of you counted the money and smells it for the purpose of making a sense that it is already yours. The rich man said that you must dig a 10ft deep whole and bury this money at night while no one are watching, so that your the only one knows about the opportunity to get it when morning comes. No one knows that you are digging for the money of the rich man to be yours with that kind of conditions. When you are ready to start digging the money, you must not stop until you get it or else the money will just be given to others.

    Your commitment is don’t stop until you get it.

    Your goal now is to get that money and your commitment is don’t stop until you get it.

    The morning comes and you have to start digging the money. The crowd started to notice what are you doing and they are asking what are you doing? Of course you might answer “I am digging my money” because you know that there is money ten feet below the ground. They will laugh but you will ignore them because you have a goal and commitment to get it. And the rain start falling and you can get sick from the rain but you must finished  digging because of your commitment.

    And now after the hard work! you get your goals. You feel happy and tiredness is no room for you now because you get what you want to get.

    Goals give vision and direction and commitment give energy to accomplished things, but sometimes it is not enough to rely on the two, it often fail when there is no reasons involve.

    Reason can change everything. What if another man offers you the same amount just to stop what you have started or stop what your are doing. What will you do if you can instantly get the $10 Million goals? What happens now to your commitment? It is gone, changed and ends. You can still ignore that opportunity and continue what you’ve started if you have the reason why.

    To make a strong goals and commitment you have to have a deep reason in order to accomplish the things that you want. $10 Million is just money that you can get and have in many ways but a reason will only comes within your decision making.

    This time lets substitute the money with your love one, Isn’t that heavier than $10 Millions. Your love one is buried ten feet below the ground and you must get within an hour or else he or she will die. Then in the middle of what you are doing I will make $20 Million offer double than before. Will you stop and let your love one die? Even if the rich man did not offer the same value or same things.

    When your reason is enough to perform your goals and commitment, it becomes strong and unfailing.

  • How much is that chicken?

    One day we went from a business trip to meet our leaders to teach them how to leverage their time through others. We show them how rich people use the time of other people to gain more wealth. One example is the fast food chain like Jollibee and McDonald. The owners are not the one you see operating the business but instead the crews, staffs, and manager of the store. They make money out of the efforts of others and the more they are! the more they gain wealth.

    Another example is like buying cigarettes. How many are buying cigarettes right now? If 10% of 95 million Filipinos are smoking, how can sell it to them at once or at the same time? Lucio Tan did it. He uses the channel of distribution to multiply himself, from factory to the warehouse, from warehouse to the wholesaler, and from the wholesaler to store or from the vendor where we can buy cigarettes.

    They become rich using the Law of Leverage where they can multiply their time and effort through others. The training is good and the people learn something that can change their life if only they find a way to apply the Law of Leverage.

    This is not a true story but it shows the reality how to value things that is lost.

    After the training, we traveled back and along the road the vehicle accidentally hit the chicken that crosses the street. It’s a hen that lays eggs. When we ask the owner of that chicken, How much is that chicken? The owner pauses and calculates the price of the chicken. He valued so much the hen that only few know how expensive it is. He shows the price and I was shocked to see the amount of that chicken. It’s almost P1,000,000.00 and how could this be. The farmer said, well that hens lays an egg, and some become a hen and lays eggs too. In her tenth generation, that chicken can produce over a million of eggs and I only charge it for only P1.00 and you must be thankful that. Speechless that chicken applied with the law of leverage and the farmer is the mentor.

  • Boat Man Story

    The boat man are now afraid that he already miss three fourth off his life and one more question from the professor will be a whole life to be miss.

    The boat seems to be in trouble, it will sink in the middle and they have to swim on the sea shore. The boat man asked the professor. Do you know how to swim? If not, you miss your whole life here.

  • Teach me Kung-Fu

    The old mates at age of 60’s are fishing on the river and on the other side a kung-fu student are practicing his lesson although he already master at his level. He is so proud that he is the strongest among all the students.

    After the lesson ends, the students are watching old mates fishing while they find something unusual. One of the old mates went to crossover the river to urinate, they see the old man just running over the water to cross the river, and get back after. They saw another one to crossover the river and went back to fishing.

    One pupil become boastful then he attempt to try and said that if the old man can do, I can do it too, and the boastful pupil tries to crossover the river. The students were panicking when they notice that their friend is drowning. They ask the old man to save the life of the classmate.

    After the old man save him, the students were asking how they can easily crossover the river without drowning, and what kind of kung-fu is that. The old man laugh, There is no kung-fu technique, did you know that ten years ago there was a bridge over there, the bridge is gone but the pole are still there where we use to step to crossover the river. If you ask us first you probably crossover easily and not been drown.

    Learning from the experience of others is the shortest way to success. Following the footsteps of successful people is the fastest way to become successful.

  • The Leverage Principle

    Leverage is what we use to gain maximum output from the minimum input. Three forms of physical leverage are used in everyday life: a lever, a pump and a set of pulleys. Each form of leverage reduces the effort needed to obtain greater result. We use lever to lift a heavy load. The longer the lever the easier it becomes.

    As human beings, we have two form of leverage: bestowed and acquired. The bestowed are the ones we’re born with. The three form are gifts, talents and abilities. The acquired forms are knowledge, attitudes and skills. They can be learn or taught.

    We use our leverage to increase the results possible from our other sources – especially our mediums of exchange. The only use of our mediums of exchange is to enhance the benefits from all our other resources.

    What are our resources?

    • Body – Physical Health
    • Mind – Capture, storage, retrieval and correlation of information in order to solve problems, creativity
    • Relationships – Good relationship will offset any deficiencies in other resources.
    • Possessions
    • Leverage ( Bestowed and acquired )

    There are two forms of medium of exchange

    • Bestowed Medium – Time, it’s the only reason that all human beings have in common 24 hours every day. The only benefit of time is to enhance our other resources. It allows us to use and enjoy our bodies, minds, spirits , relationships, possessions, leverage and money. Without time, none of these would have any real meaning.
    • Acquired Medium – Money, like time, its only real benefit is to enhance our other resources and our enjoyment of the benefits they offer.

     

    multiply yourself trough others

    In the business world, the leverage principle is applied with even more wondrous effect. No one has the time or energy to build successful business on his own. An entrepreneur’s success is tied directly to the amount of leverage he can bring to bear. That’s where customer referral comes in. It is a system specifically crafted to give ordinary access to extraordinary leverage.

    Linear Income is where money paid in exchange for time and Residual Income is the kind of income that provides real leverage. Once you have established a residual income stream, it keeps on flowing, even if you decided to take a year off.

  • The Blind Leading the Blind

    Numerous preachers nowadays claim and declare that they have found the truth concerning salvation. They assert, and not without confidence and conviction, to have learned such knowledge and the truth from the Bible and are thus sharing this to their fellowmen. Not only do they use the pulpit but they also have gone multimedia in spreading their message. Their ubiquitous presence is all the more emphasized by their frequent appearance on television and even on the internet. However, it is so noticeable that although these preachers use one and the same Bible basis, they have varied and, at times, even opposing explanations and interpretations on how a person can attain salvation. It is very important for one to know and learn how he will be saved, but equally important is to be certain that the preacher leading him knows and understands the biblical truths concerning this mater. What is the consequence if the preacher leading a person toward what he aspires for as salvation of his soul does not truly understand God’s way to salvation as taught by the Bible? Our Lord Jesus Christ answers in Matthew 15:14

    “Let them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch. “ ( New King James Version)

    If the person who does not understand leads someone who also does not understand, It’s a simple case of a blind man leading another blind man. The end of both according to our Lord Jesus Christ, is in the ditch or perdition. The prophet Isaiah explains in what sense these religious leaders and their follower are blind. Isaiah 44:18

    “They do not know nor understand; For He has shut their eyes, so that they cannot see, And their hearts so that they cannot understand.”

    They are blind not in literal sense, but in the sense that their minds and their hearts have been shut so that they cannot see or understand. The Lord Jesus point out what is it that they cannot see or understand because their minds have been shut: Mark 4:11-12

    “And He said to them, ’To you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to those who are outside, all things come in parables, so that ‘Seeing they may see and not perceive, And hearing they may hear and not understand; Lest they should turn, and their sins be forgiven them’.”

    It is the mystery of the kingdom of our Lord God revealed in the Holy Scriptures that these preachers and their followers cannot understand. They may be seeing and reading the verses of the Bible but they do not really understand and how their true deeper meaning. And this because, as Apostle Paul explains rather emphatically, “Satan, the god of this evil world, has blinded the mind of those who don’t believe, so they are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News that is shinning upon them. They don’t understand the message we preached about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God”

    II Corinthian 4:4 The god of this world, Satan, has blinded their minds so they are unable to understand the message and the mystery of the Kingdom of God and see the glorious light of the Good News.

  • For One Who Works Hard

    One morning I wasted nearly an hour watching a tiny ant carry a huge feather cross my back terrace. Several times it was confronted by obstacles in its path and after a momentary pause it would make the necessary detour.

    For the one who works hard

    At one point the ant had to negotiate a crack in the concrete about 10mm wide. After brief contemplation the ant laid the feather over the crack, walked across it and picked up the feather on the other side then continued on its way.

    I was fascinated by the ingenuity of this ant, one of God’s smallest creatures. It served to reinforce the miracle of creation. Here was a minute insect, lacking in size yet equipped with a brain to reason, explore, discover and overcome. But this ant, like the two-legged co-residents of this planet, also shares human failings.

    After some time the ant finally reached its destination – a flower bed at the end of the terrace and a small hole that was the entrance to its underground home. And it was here that the ant finally met its match. How could that large feather possibly fit down small hole?

    Of course it couldn’t. So the ant, after all this trouble and exercising great ingenuity, overcoming problems all along the way, just abandoned the feather and went home.

    The ant had not thought the problem through before it began its epic journey and in the end the feather was nothing more than a burden.

    Isn’t OUR LIFE like that?

    We worry about our family; we worry about money or the lack of it, we worry about work, about where we live, about all sorts of things. These are all burdens – the things we pick up along life’s path and lug them around the obstacles and over the crevasses that life will bring, only to find that at the destination they are useless and we can’t take them with us.

    Monkeys are known to be selfish and greedy and this story will let know know why. The monkey can’t let go of the things he holds even if it will change his future.
