Yup I did not vote for Benigno Simeon Cojuanco Aquino III. He is proclaimed today as the 15th President of the Republic of the Philippines. Now, he is my president as well as yours even if you vote for him or not. I throw him my 100% support and hopefully you too my fellow Pinoys. This is a new government, a new president, hopefully a new chance for the Filipinos to achieve its maximum potential as citizens and Philippines as nation a nation in the 21st century. Let's unite on his battlecry " Kung walang Corrupt, Walang Mahirap!" ( If there are no corrupt poeple in government, there'll be no poor citizens ). This is our only chance, keep the faith, and let us carry the cross of nation building with him. May God Bless Us All!

Why I decided to go back in the game?
Why would I recommend LIFEMAX Businessto YOU? You might be a House Wife, a student, a retired employee, a businessman, or a person like me who is still on the Rat Race - you're reading it right,I am recommending it to YOU.
My Story...
Let me give you a background of my network marketing experience. About nine years, ago I was encouraged by a colleague to join a US company that manufactures Skin Care, Personal Care, and Nutraceutical products. This company is a good one while the products are also good at a reasonable price with mostly middle or higher income families who can afford them.
Me and my wife poured in the effort and time on this business for another two years. We attained the next rank after moving lots of products and developing people. What we found out later that makes our life difficult is the design of its compensation plan or how people are paid for the sales they generate and the people on their group.
At a certain point, once a person you sponsored reached the next level, his/her sales volume breaks-away from you thus requiring you to find out another person to fill in that gap. The cycle goes on again which adds to the pressure you already have from your regular job.
I am sure that company will still prosper but not a lot of income will be made by the incoming distributors. This is true for all Big US companies that entered the Philippine market for quite sometime now, the income opportunity that will be made can be big but not enough to make you Wealthy. What is my definition of a Wealthy person?
"You can be considered a wealthy person when you don't need to work or take on a job while your assets or income keeps on growing bigger."
For me, this is something worth aiming for. Not for myself alone, but for my generations to come. When I can send my kids to the best school not worrying about the cost of tuition fees, when I can give to a charity of my choosing, when I am not afraid of how much the hospital bill would be if any relative or member of my family get sick, when I have money at my disposal to do good. Those are my "WHYs". That will push me to look for a great vehicle that will enable me to do those things and when I found it, seize it, and run with it until those come into fruition.
...and my journey begins...Again.
It was May 31, 2010 when I enrolled and activated my Lifemax Business...and so my journey to creating wealth to the most misunderstood industry of network marketing begins ...again.

Can You Make this Ultimate Sacrifice?
I saw this video shared in Facebook and I have to look for it in You Tube. For such a short number of minutes, the message is so clear that it hits you. Made me realize how lucky we are to have with us those we hold dear to our hearts. Cherish them, spend time with them, and say you love them all the time.
from the movie "MOST")
A man choose the lives of many to save them than his own loving son....
"Most" (Meaning The Bridge) is all about the story of a single father who takes his eight year-old son to work with him at the railroad drawbridge where he is the bridge tender. Just as an oncoming train approaches, his son falls into the drawbridge gear works, leaving the father with a horrific choice. The sacrifice of a young boy and his father make to that of God and Jesus. Many reviewers had deep and moving reactions to the film. Christianity Today magazine called it life changing.

Are You Tired of Being Poor? Do you want to become financially independent but don't know how and where to start?
I was the in the same shoes as you are 3 years ago. But I made a decision that I don't wanna be poor all my life. I need to do something different.
I started to believe that if I do the same thing over and over again, I will expect the same result over and over again.
I need to change something. I need to change my beliefs.
I started reading books, searching the net.
But I learned that I can't do it alone.
I need somebody to push me up, to cheer for me, to inspire me and give me more insights based on experience.
I started to attend seminars, conventions, trainings and expos because I believe in continuous education.
Things change. What works in the past may not work today.
A lot of expos has been done before. I attended some of them and I also learned from them. However, but there is an upcoming expos which I think is more comprehensive because it will cover all the strategies that can make you rich and wealthy.
This really excites me. Its like going to a buffet. The foods are all there. We can have it all but we can also choose what we want.
In this expo, we'll learn about investing in stock market, franchising, selling offline and online, earning on real real estate and a lot more.
It's really for everybody. Not just for you but also for me.
I'm still not there. I'm still not financially independent. But I COMMIT to become one.
If I will be there because I believe it can help me. Why shouldn't you?!
We just need to make a decision and take an ACTION.
If you're committed to become wealthy NOW, keep coming to this blog because we'll be posting the details of the expo here.
I want to know more about this. Read here.
No, I don't want to wait. Reserve me a seat now.
You can also email us: m2ib.corp@gmail. com

The Two Choices We Face
by Jim Rohn
Each of us has two distinct choices to make about what we will do with our lives. The first choice we can make is to be less than we have the capacity to be. To earn less. To have less. To read less and think less. To try less and discipline ourselves less. These are the choices that lead to an empty life. These are the choices that, once made, lead to a life of constant apprehension instead of a life of wondrous anticipation. And the second choice? To do it all! To become all that we can possibly be. To read every book that we possibly can. To earn as much as we possibly can. To give and share as much as we possibly can. To strive and produce and accomplish as much as we possibly can. All of us have the choice.
To do or not to do. To be or not to be. To be all or to be less or to be nothing at all.
Like the tree, it would be a worthy challenge for us all to stretch upward and outward to the full measure of our capabilities. Why not do all that we can, every moment that we can, the best that we can, for as long as we can?
Our ultimate life objective should be to create as much as our talent and ability and desire will permit. To settle for doing less than we could do is to fail in this worthiest of undertakings.
Results are the best measurement of human progress. Not conversation. Not explanation. Not justification. Results! And if our results are less than our potential suggests that they should be, then we must strive to become more today than we were the day before. The greatest rewards are always reserved for those who bring great value to themselves and the world around them as a result of who and what they have become.

Sun Tzu's Art of War...in Times of War and Peace
Today, I started to browse through my vault of past readings about leadership,self-help, and other personal development materials. One of the materials and person that fascinates me...Sun Tzu and his Art of War
The Art of War (Chinese: 孫子兵法; pinyin: Sūn Zǐ Bīng Fǎ) is a Chinese military treatise that was written by Sun Tzu in the 6th century BC, during the Spring and Autumn period. Composed of 13 chapters, each of which is devoted to one aspect of warfare, it has long been praised as the definitive work on military strategies and tactics of its time, and one of the basic texts on the subject.
Even in modern times, this is something that you can apply either in life, at work, and definitely in times of war.
...
The art of war is of vital importance to the State. It is a matter of life and death, a road either to safety or to ruin. Hence it is a subject of inquiry which can on no account be neglected- Sun Tzu, the Art of War
All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near. Hold out baits to entice the enemy. Feign disorder, and crush him.- Sun Tzu, the Art of War
If your enemy is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him. If your opponent is temperamental, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. If his forces are united, separate them. If sovereign and subject are in accord, put division between them. Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected.- Sun Tzu, the Art of War
"The art of using troops is this:......When ten to the enemy's one, surround him;......When five times his strength, attack him;......If double his strength, divide him;......If equally matched you may engage him;......If weaker numerically, be capable of withdrawing;......And if in all respects unequal, be capable of eluding him,..........for a small force is but booty for one more powerful."- Sun Tzu, the Art Of War
"Regard your soldiers as your children, and they will follow you into the deepest valleys.Look on them as your own beloved sons, and they will stand by you even unto death!"- Sun Tzu, the Art of War
the general who wins a battle makes many calculations in his temple ere the battle is fought. The general who loses a battle makes but few calculations beforehand. Thus do many calculations lead to victory, and few calculations to defeat: how much more no calculation at all! It is by attention to this point that I can foresee who is likely to w in or lose.-Sun Tzu, the Art of War
He who wishes to fight must first count the cost. When you engage in actual fighting, if victory is long in coming, then men's weapons will grow dull and their ardor will be dampened. If you lay siege to a town, you will exhaust your strength. Again, if the campaign is protracted, the resources of the State will not be equal to the strain. Now, when your weapons are dulled, your ardor dampened, your strength exhausted and your treasure spent, other chieftains will spring up to take advantage of your extremity. Then no man, however wise, will be able to avert the consequences that must ensue... In war, then, let your great object be victory, not lengthy campaigns.-Sun Tzu, the Art of War
Though we have heard of stupid haste in war, cleverness has never been seen associated with long delays.-Sun Tzu, the Art of War
It is only one who is thoroughly acquainted with the evils of war that can thoroughly understand the profitable way of carrying it on.-Sun Tzu, the Art of War
Bring war material with you from home, but forage on the enemy... use the conquered foe to augment one's own strength.-Sun Tzu, the Art of War
In the practical art of war, the best thing of all is to take the enemy's country whole and intact; to shatter and destroy it is not so good. So, too, it is better to recapture an army entire than to destroy it.-Sun Tzu, the Art of War
To fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting.-Sun Tzu, the Art of War
Thus the highest form of generalship is to balk the enemy's plans, the next best is to prevent the junction of the enemy's forces, the next in order is to attack the enemy's army in the field, and the worst policy of all is to besiege walled cities.-Sun Tzu, the Art of War
There are three ways in which a ruler can bring misfortune upon his army: By commanding the army to advance or to retreat, being ignorant of the fact that it cannot obey; This is called hobbling the army. By attempting to govern an army in the same way as he administers a kingdom, being ignorant of the conditions which obtain in an army; This causes restlessness in the soldier's minds. By employing the officers of his army without discrimination, through ignorance of the military principle of adaptation to circumstances. This shakes the confidence of the soldiers.-Sun Tzu, the Art of War
He will win who knows when to fight and when not to fight. He will win who knows how to handle both superior and inferior forces. He will win whose army is animated by the same spirit throughout all its ranks. He will win who, prepared himself, waits to take the enemy unprepared. He will win who has military capacity and is not interfered with by the sovereign.-Sun Tzu, the Art of War
If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.- Sun Tzu
The good fighters of old first put themselves beyond the possibility of defeat, and then waited for an opportunity of defeating the enemy. To secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself. Thus the good fighter is able to secure himself against defeat, but cannot make certain of defeating the enemy.- Sun Tzu
Making no mistakes is what establishes the certainty of victory, for it means conquering an enemy that is already defeated.- Sun Tzu
The victorious strategist only seeks battle after the victory has been won, whereas he who is destined to defeat first fights and afterwards looks for victory.- Sun Tzu
Fighting with a large army under your command is nowise different from fighting with a small one: it is merely a question of instituting signs and signals.- Sun Tzu
In all fighting, the direct method may be used for joining battle, but indirect methods will be needed in order to secure victory. In battle, there are not more than two methods of attack - the direct and the indirect; yet these two in combination give rise to an endless series of maneuvers. The direct and the indirect lead on to each other in turn. It is like moving in a circle - you never come to an end. Who can exhaust the possibilities of their combination?- Sun Tzu
Whoever is first in the field and awaits the coming of the enemy, will be fresh for the fight; whoever is second in the field and has to hasten to battle will arrive exhausted.- Sun Tzu
The clever combatant imposes his will on the enemy, but does not allow the enemy's will to be imposed on him.- Sun Tzu
An army may march great distances without distress, if it marches through country where the enemy is not. You can be sure of succeeding in your attacks if you only attack places which are undefended. You can ensure the safety of your defense if you only hold positions that cannot be attacked.- Sun Tzu
Hence that general is skillful in attack whose opponent does not know what to defend; and he is skillful in defense whose opponent does not know what to attack.- Sun Tzu
If we wish to fight, the enemy can be forced to an engagement even though he be sheltered behind a high rampart and a deep ditch. All we need do is attack some other place that he will be obliged to relieve. If we do not wish to fight, we can prevent the enemy from engaging us even though the lines of our encampment be merely traced out on the ground. All we need do is to throw something odd and unaccountable in his way.- Sun Tzu
Should the enemy strengthen his van, he will weaken his rear; should he strengthen his rear, he will weaken his van; should he strengthen his left, he will weaken his right; should he strengthen his right, he will weaken his left. If he sends reinforcements everywhere, he will everywhere be weak.- Sun Tzu
In making tactical dispositions, the highest pitch you can attain is to conceal them.- Sun Tzu
Military tactics are like unto water; for water in its natural course runs away from high places and hastens downwards... Water shapes its course according to the nature of the ground over which it flows; the soldier works out his victory in relation to the foe whom he is facing. Therefore, just as water retains no constant shape, so in warfare there are no constant conditions. He who can modify his tactics in relation to his opponent and thereby succeed in winning, may be called a heaven-born captain.- Sun Tzu
So in war, the way is to avoid what is strong and to strike at what is weak.- Sun Tzu
The difficulty of tactical maneuvering consists in turning the devious into the direct, and misfortune into gain.- Sun Tzu
Maneuvering with an army is advantageous; with an undisciplined multitude, most dangerous.- Sun Tzu
We cannot enter into alliances until we are acquainted with the designs of our neighbors.- Sun Tzu
Do not interfere with an army that is returning home. When you surround an army, leave an outlet free. Do not press a desperate foe too hard.- Sun Tzu
The art of war teaches us to rely not on the likelihood of the enemy's not coming, but on our own readiness to receive him; not on the chance of his not attacking, but rather on the fact that we have made our position unassailable.- Sun Tzu
When the common soldiers are too strong and their officers too weak, the result is INSUBORDINATION. When the officers are too strong and the common soldiers too weak, the result is COLLAPSE. When the higher officers are angry and insubordinate, and on meeting the enemy give battle on their own account from a feeling of resentment, before the commander-in-chief can tell whether or no he is in a position to fight, the result is RUIN.- Sun Tzu
The general who advances without coveting fame and retreats without fearing disgrace, whose only thought is to protect his country and do good service for his sovereign, is the jewel of the kingdom.- Sun Tzu
Regard your soldiers as your children, and they will follow you into the deepest valleys; look upon them as your own beloved sons, and they will stand by you even unto death. If, however, you are indulgent, but unable to make your authority felt; kind-hearted, but unable to enforce your commands; and incapable, moreover, of quelling disorder: then your soldiers must be likened to spoilt children; they are useless for any practical purpose.- Sun Tzu
If we know that our own men are in a condition to attack, but are unaware that the enemy is not open to attack, we have gone only halfway towards victory. If we know that the enemy is open to attack, but are unaware that our own men are not in a condition to attack, we have gone only halfway towards victory. If we know that the enemy is open to attack, and also know that our men are in a condition to attack, but are unaware that the nature of the ground makes fighting impracticable, we have still gone only halfway towards victory.- Sun Tzu
If you know the enemy and know yourself, your victory will not stand in doubt; if you know Heaven and know Earth, you may make your victory complete.- Sun Tzu
On dispersive ground, therefore, fight not. On facile ground, halt not. On contentious ground, attack not. On open ground, do not try to block the enemy's way. On the ground of intersecting highways, join hands with your allies. On serious ground, gather in plunder. In difficult ground, keep steadily on the march. On hemmed-in ground, resort to stratagem. On desperate ground, fight.- Sun Tzu
If asked how to cope with a great host of the enemy in orderly array and on the point of marching to the attack, I should say: "Begin by seizing something which your opponent holds dear; then he will be amenable to your will." Rapidity is the essence of war: take advantage of the enemy's unreadiness, make your way by unexpected routes, and attack unguarded spots.- Sun Tzu
Throw your soldiers into positions whence there is no escape, and they will prefer death to flight. If they will face death, there is nothing they may not achieve.- Sun Tzu
If our soldiers are not overburdened with money, it is not because they have a distaste for riches; if their lives are not unduly long, it is not because they are disinclined to longevity.- Sun Tzu
Bestow rewards without regard to rule, issue orders without regard to previous arrangements; and you will be able to handle a whole army as though you had to do with but a single man.- Sun Tzu
Unhappy is the fate of one who tries to win his battles and succeed in his attacks without cultivating the spirit of enterprise; for the result is waste of time and general stagnation. Hence the saying: The enlightened ruler lays his plans well ahead; the good general cultivates his resources.- Sun Tzu
Move not unless you see an advantage; use not your troops unless there is something to be gained; fight not unless the position is critical. If it is to your advantage, make a forward move; if not, stay where you are. Anger may in time change to gladness; vexation may be succeeded by content.- Sun Tzu
No leader should put troops into the field merely to gratify his own spleen; no leader should fight a battle simply out of pique. But a kingdom that has once been destroyed can never come again into being; nor can the dead ever be brought back to life. Hence the enlightened leader is heedful, and the good leader full of caution.- Sun Tzu quotes
Spies cannot be usefully employed without a certain intuitive sagacity; (2) They cannot be properly managed without benevolence and straight forwardness; (3) Without subtle ingenuity of mind, one cannot make certain of the truth of their reports; (4) Be subtle! be subtle! and use your spies for every kind of warfare; (5) If a secret piece of news is divulged by a spy before the time is ripe, he must be put to death together with the man to whom the secret was told.- Sun Tzu quotes
The enemy's spies who have come to spy on us must be sought out, tempted with bribes, led away and comfortably housed. Thus they will become double agents and available for our service. It is through the information brought by the double agent that we are able to acquire and employ local and inward spies. It is owing to his information, again, that we can cause the doomed spy to carry false tidings to the enemy.- Sun Tzu quotes
"To capture the enemy's entire army is better than to destroy it; to take intact a regiment, a company, or a squad is better than to destroy them. For to win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the supreme of excellence. To subdue the enemy without fighting is the supreme excellence."- Sun Tzu quotes
All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near. Hold out baits to entice the enemy. Feign disorder, and crush him.- Sun Tzu, the Art of War

Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. If his forces are united, separate them. If sovereign and subject are in accord, put division between them.

By attempting to govern an army in the same way as he administers a kingdom, being ignorant of the conditions which obtain in an army; This causes restlessness in the soldier's minds. By employing the officers of his army without discrimination, through ignorance of the military principle of adaptation to circumstances. This shakes the confidence of the soldiers.-Sun Tzu, the Art of War
He will win who knows when to fight and when not to fight. He will win who knows how to handle both superior and inferior forces. He will win whose army is animated by the same spirit throughout all its ranks. He will win who, prepared himself, waits to take the enemy unprepared. He will win who has military capacity and is not interfered with by the sovereign.-Sun Tzu, the Art of War
If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.- Sun Tzu
The good fighters of old first put themselves beyond the possibility of defeat, and then waited for an opportunity of defeating the enemy. To secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself. Thus the good fighter is able to secure himself against defeat, but cannot make certain of defeating the enemy.- Sun Tzu
Making no mistakes is what establishes the certainty of victory, for it means conquering an enemy that is already defeated.- Sun Tzu
The victorious strategist only seeks battle after the victory has been won, whereas he who is destined to defeat first fights and afterwards looks for victory.- Sun Tzu
Fighting with a large army under your command is nowise different from fighting with a small one: it is merely a question of instituting signs and signals.- Sun Tzu
In all fighting, the direct method may be used for joining battle, but indirect methods will be needed in order to secure victory. In battle, there are not more than two methods of attack - the direct and the indirect; yet these two in combination give rise to an endless series of maneuvers. The direct and the indirect lead on to each other in turn. It is like moving in a circle - you never come to an end. Who can exhaust the possibilities of their combination?- Sun Tzu
Whoever is first in the field and awaits the coming of the enemy, will be fresh for the fight; whoever is second in the field and has to hasten to battle will arrive exhausted.- Sun Tzu
The clever combatant imposes his will on the enemy, but does not allow the enemy's will to be imposed on him.- Sun Tzu
An army may march great distances without distress, if it marches through country where the enemy is not. You can be sure of succeeding in your attacks if you only attack places which are undefended. You can ensure the safety of your defense if you only hold positions that cannot be attacked.- Sun Tzu
Hence that general is skillful in attack whose opponent does not know what to defend; and he is skillful in defense whose opponent does not know what to attack.- Sun Tzu
If we wish to fight, the enemy can be forced to an engagement even though he be sheltered behind a high rampart and a deep ditch. All we need do is attack some other place that he will be obliged to relieve. If we do not wish to fight, we can prevent the enemy from engaging us even though the lines of our encampment be merely traced out on the ground. All we need do is to throw something odd and unaccountable in his way.- Sun Tzu
Should the enemy strengthen his van, he will weaken his rear; should he strengthen his rear, he will weaken his van; should he strengthen his left, he will weaken his right; should he strengthen his right, he will weaken his left. If he sends reinforcements everywhere, he will everywhere be weak.- Sun Tzu
In making tactical dispositions, the highest pitch you can attain is to conceal them.- Sun Tzu
Military tactics are like unto water; for water in its natural course runs away from high places and hastens downwards... Water shapes its course according to the nature of the ground over which it flows; the soldier works out his victory in relation to the foe whom he is facing. Therefore, just as water retains no constant shape, so in warfare there are no constant conditions. He who can modify his tactics in relation to his opponent and thereby succeed in winning, may be called a heaven-born captain.- Sun Tzu
So in war, the way is to avoid what is strong and to strike at what is weak.- Sun Tzu
The difficulty of tactical maneuvering consists in turning the devious into the direct, and misfortune into gain.- Sun Tzu
Maneuvering with an army is advantageous; with an undisciplined multitude, most dangerous.- Sun Tzu
We cannot enter into alliances until we are acquainted with the designs of our neighbors.- Sun Tzu
Do not interfere with an army that is returning home. When you surround an army, leave an outlet free. Do not press a desperate foe too hard.- Sun Tzu
The art of war teaches us to rely not on the likelihood of the enemy's not coming, but on our own readiness to receive him; not on the chance of his not attacking, but rather on the fact that we have made our position unassailable.- Sun Tzu
When the common soldiers are too strong and their officers too weak, the result is INSUBORDINATION. When the officers are too strong and the common soldiers too weak, the result is COLLAPSE. When the higher officers are angry and insubordinate, and on meeting the enemy give battle on their own account from a feeling of resentment, before the commander-in-chief can tell whether or no he is in a position to fight, the result is RUIN.- Sun Tzu
The general who advances without coveting fame and retreats without fearing disgrace, whose only thought is to protect his country and do good service for his sovereign, is the jewel of the kingdom.- Sun Tzu
Regard your soldiers as your children, and they will follow you into the deepest valleys; look upon them as your own beloved sons, and they will stand by you even unto death. If, however, you are indulgent, but unable to make your authority felt; kind-hearted, but unable to enforce your commands; and incapable, moreover, of quelling disorder: then your soldiers must be likened to spoilt children; they are useless for any practical purpose.- Sun Tzu
If we know that our own men are in a condition to attack, but are unaware that the enemy is not open to attack, we have gone only halfway towards victory. If we know that the enemy is open to attack, but are unaware that our own men are not in a condition to attack, we have gone only halfway towards victory. If we know that the enemy is open to attack, and also know that our men are in a condition to attack, but are unaware that the nature of the ground makes fighting impracticable, we have still gone only halfway towards victory.- Sun Tzu
If you know the enemy and know yourself, your victory will not stand in doubt; if you know Heaven and know Earth, you may make your victory complete.- Sun Tzu
On dispersive ground, therefore, fight not. On facile ground, halt not. On contentious ground, attack not. On open ground, do not try to block the enemy's way. On the ground of intersecting highways, join hands with your allies. On serious ground, gather in plunder. In difficult ground, keep steadily on the march. On hemmed-in ground, resort to stratagem. On desperate ground, fight.- Sun Tzu
If asked how to cope with a great host of the enemy in orderly array and on the point of marching to the attack, I should say: "Begin by seizing something which your opponent holds dear; then he will be amenable to your will." Rapidity is the essence of war: take advantage of the enemy's unreadiness, make your way by unexpected routes, and attack unguarded spots.- Sun Tzu
Throw your soldiers into positions whence there is no escape, and they will prefer death to flight. If they will face death, there is nothing they may not achieve.- Sun Tzu
If our soldiers are not overburdened with money, it is not because they have a distaste for riches; if their lives are not unduly long, it is not because they are disinclined to longevity.- Sun Tzu
Bestow rewards without regard to rule, issue orders without regard to previous arrangements; and you will be able to handle a whole army as though you had to do with but a single man.- Sun Tzu
Unhappy is the fate of one who tries to win his battles and succeed in his attacks without cultivating the spirit of enterprise; for the result is waste of time and general stagnation. Hence the saying: The enlightened ruler lays his plans well ahead; the good general cultivates his resources.- Sun Tzu
Move not unless you see an advantage; use not your troops unless there is something to be gained; fight not unless the position is critical. If it is to your advantage, make a forward move; if not, stay where you are. Anger may in time change to gladness; vexation may be succeeded by content.- Sun Tzu
No leader should put troops into the field merely to gratify his own spleen; no leader should fight a battle simply out of pique. But a kingdom that has once been destroyed can never come again into being; nor can the dead ever be brought back to life. Hence the enlightened leader is heedful, and the good leader full of caution.- Sun Tzu quotes
Spies cannot be usefully employed without a certain intuitive sagacity; (2) They cannot be properly managed without benevolence and straight forwardness; (3) Without subtle ingenuity of mind, one cannot make certain of the truth of their reports; (4) Be subtle! be subtle! and use your spies for every kind of warfare; (5) If a secret piece of news is divulged by a spy before the time is ripe, he must be put to death together with the man to whom the secret was told.- Sun Tzu quotes
The enemy's spies who have come to spy on us must be sought out, tempted with bribes, led away and comfortably housed. Thus they will become double agents and available for our service. It is through the information brought by the double agent that we are able to acquire and employ local and inward spies. It is owing to his information, again, that we can cause the doomed spy to carry false tidings to the enemy.- Sun Tzu quotes
"To capture the enemy's entire army is better than to destroy it; to take intact a regiment, a company, or a squad is better than to destroy them. For to win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the supreme of excellence. To subdue the enemy without fighting is the supreme excellence."- Sun Tzu quotes

Are you looking for the next Hayden Kho sex video?
If you are like most people who are already informed of these sex scandal videos of Hayden Kho this past couple of weeks...you must probably be thinking right now...who are the next personalities that will be there? Vicky Belo, Ruffa Mae... Can it be more damaging than those that had already spread like wildfire...that of Kathrina Halili, Maricar Reyes and of a Brazilian model. Sorry, I am not going to upload or put a link to those videos on this blog. I don't want to further proliferate them and might be accessed by more teenagers who are already Hightech and know their way around computers. Imagine the impact of this on their morality and how they view sex outside or before marriage. It might end up to be a casual act for them and even though they know filming this act to be wrong, it might give thrill for some to do it.
Now, I appreciate more our former professors in MFI for teaching as the subject -- ETHICS. I can still recall Mr. Lorena and Mr. Hudson saying " We are not only here to develop your Technical Competency, we are here to develop your Character!" I think that separates us from the rest of the Technical Schools in the country today. What's the use of having Highly Skilled and Trained Medical Practitioner, Engineer, or a Scientist when they think it is OK or has no remorse performing Abortion, Taking Bribes, Developing Chemical weapons, that puts the environment at grave danger or totally disregards the value of human life.
Self-development has to be holistic and includes nurturing the conscience...what is right should always be right and what is wrong to be always wrong. It should not be aligned to what is comfortable at the moment or justify a persons act or deed.
Still searching for next Hayden Kho video? Think about it ...you might become what you watch a lot! Be careful what you feed your subconscious.
To counteract the effect of these videos, Ill be giving free e-books on my next posts...hope it helps you on your self-development quest.
To your success!

Susan Boyle 1984 sings Barbara Streisand
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WYHv32hCE0
The above link is to a video of Susan Boyle at her earliest on-camera gig, singing the Barbra Streisand hit The Way We Were during a 1984 competition at Fir Park Social Club in Motherwell.If you have not heard of her. She is a 47 year old lady from Scotland," never been kissed" singing sensation of 2009 Britain's Got Talent competition.
Her story is of a person who continued to nurture her talents and never stopped dreaming. All those people who suddenly become famous or become rich, did not become so great at what they do - overnight. They have made lots of sacrifices, undergo trials and tribulations, got knocked down more than once. So whatever you are doing right now, be like a Susan Boyle..keep on dreaming and keep on singing. The recognition is just the validation of the personal development you have gone through.
Don't quit and see you at the top! =)

A Warrior's Song
In light of Manny Pacquaio's recent victory to Ricky Hatton...below poem reminds me of all the fighters, the warriors, knights, soldiers, and ordinary people who does extraordinary thing in this battle arena of life.
A WARRIOR'S SONG
The sun kisses a mountain top
And glistens on its face of snow,
And slowly climbs into the sky above
And lights the valley below.
For each of us that this day awakes
A miracle takes place.
For once again we walk our earth
And own all upon its face.
And the past regrets and foolish fears
Of yesterday's cloudy mind,
Are washed away by the light of day
And seem so far behind.
For each of us is reborn each day,
Our life renews again.
And with the help of God we will find a cause
That makes us want to win.
For a man without a goal in life
Is a man already dead.
His mind wanders from place to place,
And he walks with feet of lead.
He has no reason to stretch his mind,
No spirit to stir his soul.
His name is not even in the book,
When destiny calls the roll.
Better to take the wine of life
And drink both deep and long--
Greet each day 'cause you're here to stay,
And sing your warrior's song.
For the battle of life is joined, and
You might fight long and true.
For in this strife, it's the game of your life
And the only loser is you.
Gird up your loins with courage
And answer the trumpets call,
And lose or win, you can say at the end,
This was the greatest of all!
--William E Bailey---
