Always bring something for social gathering, especially for a business meeting - MEDAL(a)

Be better than before, than yesterday...

This post noted elsewhere that when invited to a social gathering, especially where you want to establish business ties, it pays to bring a gift, or something to share for that occasion:     wine, fresh fruits,  pancit, fried chicken in a barrel.  Its a no no to just come with bare hands and feet.

I remember we had a midwife agent before and she always brought something for the kids whenever she visited the house -  candies, biscuits what not.

Its taught in business school.  This establishes bond, a connection which the other party may not forget.   It gives you an image of leadership, generosity, and high stature

The ungrateful ones; deleting my achievements

Be better than before, than yesterday...

They say that when you do not have money you  have problem with scarcity.   If you have plenty even more problems...

One of the reasons whey I aspired to be an entrepreneur was to lift our family out of poverty... specifically so as not to let my brods and sis suffer poverty as I did while growing up.  My father was a laborer,  My mother was a washer woman and jacks of all trade.

However, as the family accumulated wealth (through my efforts) the tides turned.   After I distributed the wealth among the siblings after all my parents died, the 4 other sibilings conspired to remove me from th organization.   Over the last 3 decades, I was invited to join board meetings, and worse, they removed me from GIS and lately they have been changing corps reorganizing maybe to remove my 20% share surreptitiously....

Yesterday, they reopned the mall which this post started.   Was not invited.   Erasing my achievements from history.  This is historical revisionism at its best...  Talk about gratitude.   God bless them all.  More power to them....

Be like the eagle

Be better than before, than yesterday...

1.  Fly alone like the eagle

2.  Have a vision.   Look far away.  Think long term.

3.  Eagles are fearless..     

4.  Eagles are tenacious

5.  Dont eat dead things.  

6.  Prepare the young, leave comfort zone

7. They possess vitality

....

A wonderful song to remind how great this day is, and anticipate the best, and be the best....

Be better than before, than yesterday...

Very motivating.   Evokes spirit (that we are divine that the Lord is in us) that we are capable of great things and even miracles (God made us in in his image and likeness)
