Clarification of my purpose - making other people wealthy

Be better than before, than yesterday...

After reflecting on the clarification of life purpose (when there is no life purpose, you no longer find reason in living) I found it to be at the moment, MAKING OTHER PERSONS WEALTHIER   Going back to my lifes experience:

     1.  This post brought in zillions to our joint venture  partners:  senidng their children abroad for schools
           travel abroad, hospital bills  etc

    2.   We increased the salaries of our staff with as high as  P5,000 per month (due to wage increases                 andwe follow one salary scale for all regions all single business unit.   Thats about P60,000 a                   year and just 4 staff cost us a million a year;

   3.   Paying millions in Real Property Tax to Mun.

   4.   Having a multi million peso construction project  with contractors (though we are not DPWH)    
              P100M in SL
              P40M in Region 1.

         This is not to mention other contractors whom we paid, other land owners whose lots cost                        millions'  One in Region 1:   P40M, +   P3.7m.    In Rizal:    P60m, P15M then P15M

   5.  Encouraging former colleague to go into business themselves to also earn zillions.

   6.  Buying for a start four pieces of heavy equipment to mechanize our operations.   The cost is 7 numbers

   The former studes at MBA undoubtedly are now receiving bigger salaries and even profits if they go into ther own business



Despite all these I survive on P6,000 food allowance monthly.    Others daughters earn 10 times as much on the companies I founded






Nice act of paying forward

Be better than before, than yesterday...

We went to one of the Tipo locators selling  reconditioned HE.     We were looking for excavators and we were shown a 2017 excavator and the asking price was P1,000,000 and the unit seem to fit our need:  3  tonner, with rubber track pads, low hours and nice humming engine.    The executive manager seemed to be from a place I knew -   the location of a barangay captain who has roots in our town.  The said officer said during the hard time, the barangay captain took her and family under his ward.   

We said after the Pinatubo eruption, we sent truckloads of relief goods courtesy of our then supermarket through a former board member who is the friend of the barangay captain.  The barangay captaian was the right hand man of the SBMA administrator hand and if you want business at SBMA, the right connection was the guy.  

The executve manager reduced the price by P50,000, and then added 20,000.   Sagad.   

Thats paying forward.  Thank you.   The good deeds you did in the past will surely come back to you.





Having a powerful retentive mind - superpower memory

Be better than before, than yesterday...

Despite AI, PDA, and having virtual assistant, nothing beats having powerful mind.   Having a retentive mind makes you the most feared man in the room.   -  those who can remember telephone number, what was discussedin a meeting months ago, predicting a card that will be dealth next because you mentally took note of cards dealt all ready.    Some can remember 2000 items a day.  

But how do you do this

1.  Being passionate about developing your memory  Having interest in your self improvement
2.   Being focussed;
3.   Repeat the name or item
4.  Visualize the item to be remembered and make this odd.  We remember pictures better than numbers or words.      Or creating a story which may be weird or dazzling.
5.   Find a peg system
6.   Teach




Difficulty in dealing with foreigner who control business for second hand heavy equipment near a free port zone

Be better than before, than yesterday...

This post wonders if the constitutional provision for foreigners controlling business in the country. apply to a freeport zone, or near this  As we were looking for 2nd hand reconditioned heavy equipment, this post found out that the business:   yard owners, agents, reconditioners are all from a foreign country,  It turned out for the free port zone, many foreigners from a country engaged in trouble with its neigbors dominate this industry at the free port zone:  brought in painters, mechanics, fabricators, and agents.  The agents dispayed the wares from free port zone in neighboring towns and its a whole system and network.  They own yards and do their selling outside of the free port zone and many live at the free port zone  

The trouble  is they are causing a lot of misunderstanding   And  are difficult to deal with:

1.  They forget the deal;
2.  Even when there is a contract, they insist on doing it their way, departing from the agreement.
3.   They make it so difficutl
4.   Lord PBBM pauwiin mo sila sa kanila.
