Payaman!

I'll get there.
My vision board is in figures. I don't need pics to keep me motivated, when I want something I research about it, know how much it will cost me and I work out that figure.
And I am sure I will get there.

I learn a lot of things working as Sun Life Financial Advisor. (I am also a full time Structural Engineer.) But honestly, I find my part time job as a financial advisor more rewarding. Although right now, I can't give up engineering yet because the reality is there are too many projects and sadly there are only few engineers. That's the scenario here in the Philippines. There's a lot of Nursing grads though. Well. That's thanks to the parents who want their kids to work as caregivers abroad.

There will be a lot of projects here in the Philppines. That's what I believe. As a developing country there are a lot of infrastructures that has to be done, and again, few engineers to design them. Most of our engineers are working overseas. SAD. Too many nurses though.

Anyway, that's not what this entry is about. This is about me getting richer. And as I said, I am positive I'll get
there. I will just share the lessons I learned from Chinkee Tan's talk on our last branch meeting.

Like fire, there are also 3 things that creates SUCCESS. These are attitude, skills and knowledge. Skills and knowledge can be easily achieved through effort. You enroll yourself in college and attend lots of seminars and you'll get the skills and knowledge you need. Attitude though is different. It is something you have to change from within. And this is what he focused on in his discussion. And the bottomline of it is that, there are just 4 pointers to remember in getting or setting up the right attitude for an individual to achieve success.

Remember this pointers:
1. Be positive.
2. Be consistent.
3. Be persistent.
4. Be a visionary.

Apply all four and with skills and knowledge, success is just around the corner.
So here is what I say when they say, "Oi,kumusta." (Hey, how are you?)
My answer here now is, "Eto, payaman!" ^_^ (Here. Getting richer.)
