It is about getting better...
President Pepe Mujica of Uruguay, the poorest President
He caught my attention when he was interviewed at Al Jazeera. He has a rather unique perception of the world and leadership. He donates 90% of his salary to charity, say building house for unwed mothers, drives to work in old VW, and criticizes excessive waste and consumption and US for taking on the role as the world's policeman
Sen Santiago does not think Napoles could be rich with her current educational level
In the hearing at the Senate of prime suspect Ms. Janet Lim Napoles for the multi billion PDAF scam last November 7, 2013, Sen Santiago continuously pressured Ms Napoles to testify vs the solons accomplices because of her perceived lack of expertise and education to run her alleged "businesses". And even plans to have the constitution amended to allow only educated citizens to run for public office

The Secret of Success in Strategy - Applied
It is about getting better...
I was watching this HBO show on Pacific and there was this Marine General giving a pep talk to his Non Com officers prior to their leaving for their mission in the Pacific. And he mentioned the greatest secret in strategy - that the success of strategy lies in the execution by the middle managers - the sargeants. He said that their success lies in the hands of the non com. And the the sargeants agreed with his simple and yet powerful talk.
Thus the technical strategy books have to be junked in favor of:
1 Mintzberg commitment and collaboration by people towards a goal
2 Peter Senges shared vision and learning.
3. Sun Tzu
4. Gen Giap
Without that common bond/and sharing of passion towards the goal, there cant be strategic success. No swot, no EFE or IFE. Just success, victory, victory.
Thus said the one the most brilliant modern strategist, the late Gen Giap of North Vietnam who defeated both the US and French Armies, despite superiority in numbers, technology and firepower.

Quotes from Personal Growth Newsletter
Success is more a function of consistent common sense than it is of genius. - An Wang, 1920-1990
The
chances are that you have already come to believe that happiness is
unattainable. But men have attained it. And they have attained it by
realizing that happiness does not spring from the procuring of physical
or mental pleasure, but from the development of reason and the
adjustment of conduct to principles. - Arnold Bennett, 1867-1931
Not to dream boldly may turn out to be simply irresponsible. - George Leonard, 1923-2010
Having common sense was the secret of the Minister Li of Taiwan in making his small country an economic powerhouse

Video #3 - Your Million Dollar Mantra - The Most Powerful Paragraph You'll Ever Create
From Reinvention Workshop by Steve Olsher
This is a powerful tool, paradigm. How do you become successful? What is the secret of success? I was dumbfounded before when asked this question. The answer? Know what you want!
As in strategy know where you are going/know your passion and learn how to monetize (the economic engine) of that want/passion.
Know what you want. Know your what.
I am not a business, I am a busines, man. Do not just survive. Thrive
Find your niche, and monetize. Watch his video

Your survival manual; survival secrets
From Stansberry Research by Dr. David Eifreg
It has been called the most important book of 2013. It is very timely with the coming of super typhoon in the PHL tomorrow
Tonight, there are a lot of news, that the powerful typhoon Yolanda will make a landfall in the PHL. It is a super typhoon because it packs winds of over 200 kph and in Samar and Leyte, Signal No 4 has been declared. There is still the cone of danger and the typhoon may change course and devastate Central and Southern Luzon. We must be wary.
The book by Dr. Eifreg Doctors Protocol Field Manual suggests that we are to be prepared for any disaster. When there is a disaster or any disruption, we must be prepared to be on our own. With too many needing help, help may not reach us on time, or in right form or quantity.
Survival secrets (in plane travel or in urban areas) and health secrets are enumerated. So you may get the book, or simply be aware of any crisis. Be prepared. Laging handa

Does smarthphone/laptop make you smart/er?
It is about getting better...
From the Guardian - Do smartphones make you stupid?
Smartphone is a misnomer in terms of making you smart. It does not. Since you do not have chance to analyze to digest the information presented, you lose your ability to remember or critically analyze the information. Long term memory, critical thinking and creativity are lost. (I hope this is not forever). This may be the difficulty in the grad school as I teach creativity and entrepreneurship. I do not get very inputs from the NU 12 assignments. They are sparse and come very rarely every Monday. Very few complete the 12 assignments.
There is also some difficulty for case analysis where more thinking is required. Time to keep the smartphones this 3 weeks of November
The cure? Forget your smartphone once in while. Compute mentally, try to memorize some of the facts. I know that. As I blog and copy the post, I could not even copy correctly the facts. I have to copy and paste. The computer resources make you lazy to think and remember.
I make it a point to make an article rather than merely copy paste on posts like this. I am forced to think and analyzed. Some articles are very wrong!

Yesterday Dan sent you a message about success and
it made me think...
Recently I've been seeing a lot of ads for weight loss.
Maybe you've seen some too…such as the "miracle pill."
Take two a day and you'll magically lose 20 pounds in
a month. If only it were that easy.
But even though you're skeptical, you momentarily
dream of it working as you desperately want to shed
the extra weight.
Success and wealth is like that too.
It's one thing to think for the best, imagining what you
want your life to look like and quite another to rely
solely on a "too good to be true" strategy to make
yourself successful.
While I can't offer you a magic pill, I can offer you
something even better.
Click Here To Get Full Details...
It's what real millionaire, multi-millionaires and
billionaires do to seemingly work at triple the speed,
explode their sales and profits and sustain growth
year after year (even in tough economic conditions.)
Imagine getting to hang out with and tap the brains
of people such as U.S. Presidents, top sales people
Tom Hopkins, Brian Tracy and Zig Ziglar, and
entrepreneurs like Donald Trump and Gene Simmons…
Then mix in thousands of entrepreneurs who started
a business from scratch and developed it into the business
they wanted…working with whom they want, when they
want, and where they want while earning the kind of
income they once only dreamed about.

denominators to their success?

Inspirational Video "My Journey" by Ed Vargas
Hi Prof,
Submitting herewith my Inspirational Video entitled "My Journey" presented last Oct. 21, 2013 through the following link: http://youtu.be/5SA5XvNEDyY
Ed Vargas
Friday, November 1, 2013
Focus on the ability, on what you have rather than what you do not have.
It is about getting better...
I just watched Malcolm Gladwell at GPS on CNN discuss the disabled become successful in his book David and Goliath. The host objected to the examples given saying for example, Richard Branson, who suffers from dyslexia (inability to read) as more of an exemption. Gladwell is criticized for making unfounded claims in his bookBut Gladwell continues to say that the deficiency in one ability forced the individual to develop abilities which one has. They tend to overcompensate. Thus the blind has sharp sense of hearing and touch. (Or may develop bat like capability to detect objects by clicks) Thus lawyer David Boyle, since he could not read had to rely on his memory while taking up law. And this serves him well during the trial because he can remember the testimonies better than the clerks and catches lying witnesses or defendants.
On David and Goliath. Small companies are like David like Microsoft in the beginning. Now it is a lumbering and slow giant, a Goliath. How can big companies become David still? Seems contradictory (or oxymoron?)
It is important for anyone to develop what he has, not what he does not have. Most corporate man who venture into their own seek for things that he does not have like market research or big time ads. He has to learn to live and survive on his own. Thus the disabled are strategic - very strategic because they survive with faculties that are left to them. And maybe begging does not give them dignity.
We thus find a blind like Rose Ambabuyog who was supported though by Ateneo President Fr Ben Nebres to become a magna cum laude Math Major at Ateneo.
Thus there is a joke about a blind who went into a wager with a normal person for a large sum to play 18 holes of golf. However the condition was that: it would take place at night without lights.
But many modern people, steeped in consumerism forget this basic lesson: "Buying things they do not need, with money they do not have, to impress people they do not know"
