Maximizing your worth
September 17, 2024 1:49 am
We all know that different people get paid or earn varying amounts of money depending on the work they do and how well they do it. Typically, the job you get or the business you have would depend on a wide variety of factors such as your physical attributes, skills, education, experience, network, family background and other credentials.
Stability in your golden years

As we all age, some of us will be blessed with a longer life span, but to enjoy our golden years, we need four basic things, like the four legs on a table or chair, to provide stability. To make things easier to remember, just think of the 4Ms—Membership, Money, Mobility, and Memory.
Quo vadis LTO?
April 24, 2024 11:18 pm
Quo vadis is a Latin phrase meaning “Where are you going?”. It is perhaps appropriate that we ask this question about our LTO (Land Transportation Office). I love many things about the LTO such as the 10-year driver’s license, but has been issuing paper licenses for over a year now due to the lack of the normal plastic cards. While there may have been legitimate reasons for this such as legal issues, the motoring public is the one suffering. We all know that these issues can take many years to resolve such as the COA audit in 2023 that the LTO has yet to deliver 1,797,000 pairs of license plates to their owners, with a total value of P808.7 million, some dating back to 2015.
Psyche of success
March 11, 2024 2:38 pm
Over the years I have had the privilege and pleasure of meeting and making friends with people who have had some degree of success, a moderate degree of success and those who have been wildly successful. I am not talking about people who inherited their wealth and stopped there, I am referring to people who made something out of nothing and those who were given something to start with and found a way to make it grow exponentially.
You need a degree
February 21, 2024 10:16 am
Whenever I interview people for a job in the company, I always have their CV in front of me and the first thing I look at is the degree of the applicant. Previous job titles and experience can easily be embellished and I have encountered those who actually lie about what they did and even their titles. However, fabricating your degree and what school you came from is much more difficult since it is easier to verify these credentials and there are telltale signs of being an alumni of a certain school.
