I’m sure all Filipinos around the world know the name Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao. He is currently the undisputed, “pound-per-pound” champion of the world and was tagged as “The Destroyer!” He rose from extreme poverty to being the wealthiest boxer in the world today. What’s more amazing is he does not brag about his wealth and achievements. Despite his status right now, he remains humble, God-fearing, and respectful to his opponents and fans.

In one of my previous posts, I tackled about overcoming fear. Today, it’s time to tackle on how to overcome laziness. Busy people are often the laziest. Busyness is a form of avoidance. If you stay busy you can avoid some of the things you don’t want to face—like exercising, or taking care of your wealth. What’s the cure for laziness?  Kiyosaki says a little greed. Isn’t greed bad? Too much of it, yes. An excess of anything is bad. The fact is, however, that all of us

As many of you are aware of, Robert Kiyosaki’s Rich Dad Poor Dad book became one of the hottest selling books. He introduced the term “rat race” which refers to the ordinary income-spend lifestyle, living from paycheck to paycheck. In order to get out of the rat race, we need to build passive income from assets which would generate enough income to sustain our needs and wants. One of the things that we must first do is to change and open our minds from industrial age

Trendy gadgets, nice cars, huge houses - most of us want these luxuries in life. With the development of industrial age, we are always blinded to be materialistic. We usually forget the word “simple”. Sometimes, we tend to forget how blessed we are compared to others. We always want to have more and more to feed our never ending greediness. We never find contentment within ourselves and this sometimes results to selfishness. I recently received a forwarded powerpoint presentation

I was watching this video by Anthony Robbins, one of the most successful motivational speaker. And I thought that definitely, it’s worth to share it to all my readers. Tony Robbins talked about how to condition your mind to achieve success. Its all about chaging your beliefs and taking massive actions towards achieving your goals. Each and everyone of us has its own potentials. But not everyone of us cultivates these potentials to become a reality. Have you heard of people who went from

Be Optimistic! Be Positive! That’s one of the most common words that we keep on hearing from friends when we encounter failures and defeats. If you are inclined to be a pessimist, experts say to try to bite your tongue to stop those negative comments coming out, because everytime they come out, they’ll kill a bit of enthusiasm for life. A lot of times, it may be necessary to just pretend to be happy. So try to think of yourself as someone with a happy demeanor. Nevermind that you

What are the qualities of a winner? What differentiates it as against a loser? Do you want to become a winner and avoid being a loser? Here are some of the qualities of a winner vs. a loser: A winner is always part of the answer. A loser is always part of the problem.   Losers always complain and complain. They never stop. The reason their “issues” persist is that they can’t stop talking about it. Winners recognize problems but instead of complaining about them, in conversations, they

Almost all of us have childhood dreams. When our parents ask us what we want to become when we grow up, some would say: “I want to become a doctor someday.” “I want to become a lawyer.” Or some would say “I want to become a famous singer or a famous Hollywood artist like my idol!” I want to point you out to a remarkable speech by Ryan Pausch, Professor of Computer Science in Carnegie-Mellon University who has pancreatic cancer and died last July 25,

Each and every one of us has his own source of motivation. Motivation drives us to excel in the things that we do. It empowers us to become the best that we can be in every thing that we do and in every endeavor that we enter ourselves into. What’s your source of motivation? You may use your economic status as your motivation. You want to alleviate the way you live. Or you may use your family as your source of motivation. Or you may want to prove yourself to other people who don’t

You’ve heard a lot about positive thinking. You are what you think. Mind over body. Using the law of attraction coupled with action and determination, thinking positively may bring us to our dreams closer. As Paulo Coelho said in his book entitled The Alchemist: “When you want something, all the universe conspire in helping you to achieve it.” Nowadays, with the current global financial crisis and with all the problems that we are facing, positive thinking sometimes is hard
