The Young Millionaire Talked.

Thursday. No classes, but there's a Pre-Employment Seminar at our University. Registration starts at 7:00am, and I happened to leave the house at 15 mins before 7:00, so it'll take me 40mins-1hr late on the reg'n. Well, I was thinking that the seminar will probably start late. While I was on the van to school, I was halfway asleep. I didnt even notice I was almost at the school zone. My friend sent me a text message that our classmates only signed the attendance sheet and were planning to go home. So I loved the idea. I arrived at school, saw my classmates. They were caught by the Dean. And who wouldnt be scared?  Graduating students should not break any rules. Ha-ha. So our class ended up going to the Freedom Hall and waited for the program/seminar proper to start. I was thinking, will the session be boring? What can I really get from here? I  just hope attending here is not a waste of time. Those things popping out to my complicated mind.

And here you go, as video presentations regarding the 1st speaker were flashed. We were A.M.A.Z.E.D. He's a millionare at 25. And if you look at him physically, he doesnt look like a guy who owns a million. W.O.W. So here he is. Asking questions first, confusing our minds with his logically challenging questions. It was actually my first time, to really jot down notes. What I just do in seminars most of the time, I just listen. Listen. Listen. Listen. But, this morning I jotted down notes. Another W.O.W. I'm good in jotting down notes, cos I really really jot it all down! Ha-ha/ Let me share to you what he said during the seminar:

''Everything starts and ends with yourself'' I agree.

He is oftenly mistaken as not-the-speaker of an event he is invited to deliver a talk. Cause he really doesnt look like one. He-he. He has delivered talks internationally, and what makes him proud there is: ''A Filipino is speaking before foreigners'' . Pinoys are good speakers. They got a lot in mind.

Next thing, he asked us how do we feel after using the toilet? Some: Comfortable, Happy, and.. SUCCESS! And he told us about the TOiLET PHiLOSOPHY. He said ''Nobody gets out of the toilet without a GREAT IDEA''. AGREE, right? I must say that being in the toilet is my way of relaxing and forgetting about the world. Haha.

He said.. ''Inside the toilet, you think alot, you dream a lot'' and ''after using the toilet, you have two choices: forget about it or fight for it'' .. But people choose to just forget it. Why?  ''It's always easier to forget the dream, than fight for it''. But remember,  ''Your life today will be the product of what you did or did not do with your dream''

and He asked how can we assure the the ''seat'' is ours. Referring to a number of applicants. Is there a job waiting for us?

''Understand Your Motivation''.

''1. Money''

''2. Trend'' People always go with the trend. Yeah. but ''If the trend is no longer there, you're no longer there''.

''3. Title''.. ''Magpapakahirap ka nalang rin sa College, kunin mo narin lang yung pinaka-mahirap''

and the key. ''PRAY''.

''Make a Decision''

1. ''Pursue your Passion''.

''Find your passion. Nobody excels in a field na wala sa kanilang puso''. Couldn't agree.

''Kung alam mo na mali ang direksyon mo, gusto mo pa ba ituloy?''

''The only way to succeed in life is to do what you love''

2. ''Leave my Friends.''

''Sa lahat nang nangyayari sa buhay mo, nandyan ang barkada mo''

but. ''Leave your friends if they don't have any plans''

''Kung ang buhay mo ay ilalagay mo sa mga taong walang pangarap sa buhay, hindi ka rin magtatagumpay''

THINK DIFFERENTLY!

1. Volunteer now, get the job later.

''We don't know everything, but we can learn something''

''Don't make an excuse na hindi ka magtatagumpay sa buhay''

''Work on something you have. Don't work on something that you don't have''.. ''Hindi mo problema yung wala, ang problemahin mo kung paano mo gagamitin ang mayroon ka''.. 'Its not about the resources, it's your resourcefulness''

 1. Identify your Core Strength. Show what you have.

 2. Target a Company. Express your knowledge.

 3. Go to the Company.

 4. Leverage.

''Act like a Professional.''

In life there is no rehearsal, it's always a Performance!

''Ang success, nangyayari lang pag andon kayo'' ''99% of success happens when you are there''.

Make your day an opportunity to become a better person. It's only by becoming a better person that you can have a better life. A better life is reserved for a better person.

the World is your Classroom. You can't stop learning. Force yourself to learn more, little by little.

10 Years from now, of you're not dead, you're ALIVE.

10 Years from now, your kind of life depends on the kind of person you become.

Don't set the limits. Always Break the Limitations.

and lastly ''Whatever happens in your life, just remember to FLUSH the toilet. :P''

and to those who just keep on dictating you, who just keep on criticizing you, you have to understand.. ''Hindi mo maiintindihan kung anong gusto mo kung patuloy mong pakikinggan ang sinasabi ng mundo''

Two words: WORTH ATTENDING. :-)
