For someone who wants to be a millionaire billionaire, this was serious question and often answered with legit ones:
1. Study business
2. Be a businessman/entnrepreneur

Being an employee: a programmer, data analyst, accountant does not make you rich

The recent happening gives a false sense of values to the younger people and does not motivate them probably about the old tenets of working hard, being disciplined, working for your country, being patriotic, being frugal and thrifty.
Its time we make the head lead the tail in the right way. Otherwise, we have to cut the head
This post watched the morning mass at YT today. It talks about the downside of being wealthy. It is easier for a camel to enter the eye of the needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Hower this applies to businessmen who are in cahoots with politicians to plunder the DPWH and the Phl treasury for the billions they are plundering.
There are plenty still of hardworking honest businessmen. Businessmen are blessings to the world. They are vessels through which Gods bounty flow They give jobs and employment, They pay taxes. They give donations to churches. They help build churches. They finance the distribution of Bibles of the Good news Thus not all businessmen are bad
The impeachment of a sitting VP is quite a distraction. There are so many pressing problems and goals that the country faces. And many delight in the confusion and the quarrel that follows. The discussions are illogical and crazy
1. You can disobey the Supreme Court;
2. The Supreme Court may reverse itself
3. The Supreme Court erred because many of the justices were PRRD apoointees
4. The Supreme Court makes it difficult to impeach any one
However we should see rationally the SC ruling
1. The process for impeachment especially the HOR rules, the due process was violated especially
the referral to the Commitee on Justice
2. The endorsement to the Senate was not taken up, voted in plenary
3. With regards to the three previous impeachment complaint:
The Sec general was alleged to have violated the due process, because he was to refer the cases
to the Speaker, and acted within 10 calendar days, and referred to the Commitee on justice
The reading of the complaint the furnishing of the 4th complaint to SD and the presentation of
evidences was not done
Thus the complaint was:
1. Void ab initio
2. Unconstitutional
3. Violated the due process
We learn a lot from this (do not focus on the content) focus on the crtitical thinking, the factual analysis, devoid of political bias. This post learn from this impeachment, as much as this post enjoyed watching the Corona impeachment, and learned much from JPE especially about being irrelievant. relevant to the goal of the presentation and or agenda.
It is an opportunity for self improvement, and the ways of the lawyers, judges.
What you learn is what you teach yourself. Sometimes the mentor have to take steps so that you will remember:
1. Giving you incomplete information so that you search for the missing pieces
2. Difficulties and challenges so that you are physically and mentally challenged rather than
being complacent
3. Charging you high mentoring teaching fees so that you pay attention and have a sense
of engagement
Yesterday, this post went to SBU in the north. The person manning the unit was particularly challenging because: 1. she keeps on repeating the same mistakes, 2. does not communicate through the well known channels; DM,, Whats App, Gmail. But she was a college graduate. A difficult nut to crack.
We had a general staff meeting at about 10 am, after a 6 hour trip, leaving at 4:00 am, a 200 km trip.
One of the staff was absent, it being she had a MD appointment. This post also cancelled his meeting at 4 pm today. As if only this post can deny himself, and cancel his appointment Presumably, it was sabotage and insubordination but this post had no such solid evidence
The post promised to stay for a month at the sbu to correct the situation and has not given up until changes occur. Otherwise the sbu would fall apart. THIS POST EMPHASIZED:

2. 4 am trip
3. to be at the sbu at 10 am
Also mentioned, that fellow professor are paid $1,000 a day (about P58,000) a day to mentor business person on business operation. They pay nothing, and no one experiences or learn the kind of learning being disseminatted today
The post was happy that the aura of the one in charge was better and had better response on the teaching of the marketing plan. I promised to help her and secure the help of third party prepare the marketing plan.
Today she was improving and teaching herself. to learn.
This can be likened to Lateral Thinking by Edward de Bono. Ot thinking out of the box They now call it reverse thinking. This is thinking off the beaten path or the road often taken You employ another approach on the problem. As it were reverse engineer the thinking process and therefore arrive at a more brilliant solution
Most innovation comes from problems, from what pisses you off. And the solutions may be brilliant and can come from reverse thinking
