Some notes on being positive

It is about getting better...

I started out in my business career feeding myself and reading about PMA Positive Mental Attitude. If you think you can you surely can.  What the mind can conceive the body can achieve.

But being positive surely goes beyond about mind power.  It tells to be enthusiastic.

To think of good things not bad. to think of happiness not bad.

To think only of the best and being the best.

That in dealing with others, and it is very likely that there will be disagreements, to think and search only about areas where you can agree rather than on disagreeing. Win win rather than win lose or lose win.

To guide others on how they can win or succeed rather than fail.

To have positive expectancy, to expect that still good will come out of bad situation.

To wish well of other even if they curse or put your down.  Or to pray for them

To think above the rest or expand your thinking if they have narrow mind, or they could not think above the gutter

That as a positive person you attract positive people. If you are positive, you bring positive vibes in a room and make others positive too.  You come in negative, others become negative.  As you think highly of your team and subordinates, they rise up to the occsaion.

If you want others to have more money, to be the money magnet.

To raise up your people so that you will rise too above the water.

Building more businesses as one becomes senior is not about making more wealth but about your self improvement

It is about getting better...

I think it was JG who said that old as he was he still loved creating or buying more businesses, even as he was old or for that matter, they were bleeding red ink  They held on with Sun Cellular losing billions until they sold the same to SMART for several tens of billions

He said it was not about making more money, but it is about battling oneself ones demons, ones weaknesses, and bringing out the best in you  The obstacles, the problems are the same, and at one point you may give up and say this is too much for your age to be still wrangling with these things you were battling early on in your life.  Is not time to rest. What do you think?

As in biking, my aspiration is to live longer and happier.   One can never get old from biking.  We can older if we stop.   We want to bike longer, faster and stronger.  We want to give always our best until the flesh becomes weak and decayed.

I dont think we should give up.  Habang may buhay.  God gave us life a gift so that we can share it with others and not even old age and fatigue should stand in our way.  If we have problems we can still devote our time to solve this, we can still train and inspire our people and they would profit from our sagacity coming from our experience and maturity

We feel sorry for younger businessmen who cant get beyond their small brain thinking

It is about getting better...

When I was very naive, I convinced my parents to embark on business venture in order to give great image and wealth to the family Later on when my parents died, and my siblings kicked me out of the board.l  I regretted having made that goal in life.

While I entirely planned and executed the business plans, they totally ignored that and said it was my parents who gave their wealth to them (true but even the will and testament of the parents were executed favorably for them.  How ungrateful.)

Lately I was hoping that we  could make amends and offered them two business proposal:  one was to be a servicing mortuary for a pre need company, and the other was a grant of right way deal where they could earn millions.   For the first one, they did not sign a deal, so we had to give it to another party.  For the second one, they over stretched and maxed out their greed and proposed a totally unacceptable deal.  I just dont know their kind of thinking that limits their growth and grabbing business opportunity.  The pre need company can help them boost their business (which funded:  the chapel and the crematorium which they had not paid to me)

And then even came out with an announcement that gave negative image of their company.  

More power and good luck to their small minds

They will have their comeuppance
