Dreams Big and Small

I have rainbow-colored dreams ... and it comes in different packages - big, small, king-size, jumbo, or extra-large. The size depends on my mood or it comes with the territory?  Whatever the size is ... I found out that people have strange ways on how they received or accepting the dream when they heard it.

Dreams that are SMALL ... I have problems divulging them to BIG ambitious-minded people. They say ..." why that small when you can have something extra?"

Dreams that are BIG ... I have problems telling small-minded homo-sapiens as they can easily get overwhelmed and swamped.

And dreams that are EXTRA LARGE ... I have problems sharing them with the extra-careful meticulous person who had their eyes laid on every detail and wants adults like me to do baby steps every step of the way.

The Stair of Success

Had there been SMALL-minded froglets making it her business interfering and meddling that your ambitions are too BIG for comfort?

Cut her out of the picture. Dreams whether big or small ... needs the same labor and dedication, so why start small when you are favored and propped to something big.

Big dreams have small beginnings. Once you know your game plan ... approached it with steady,  consistent but careful steps.

It Doesn't Cost To Dream

The path to success is not rose or flower-littered. Expect the unexpected.  There will be major and minor bumps, jolts, and thuds somewhere along the way.

Condition yourself that there will be hardship. Posture yourself to be COMFORTABLE with UNCOMFORTABLE. Tough times are in the forecast.

It doesn't COST us anything to have a dream. But there is a little difficulty we have to endure ... and that's a little PRICE we have to pay for dreaming big.

Check Yourself In The Mirror

Isipin ninyo, tuwing may problema ka ba palaging iba ang sinisisi mo at hindi ikaw? Dapat marunong kayong manalamin ... because the mirror doesn't lie ... para makita ninyo agad ang problema ... na ang problema ay nasa harapan lang naman ninyo. Palinga-linga pa kayo at nagmaang-maangan. Unfair naman yong ikaw ang nagtanim at nagpunla ng problema ... pagkatapos iba ang aani at magsalo ng sakit dala nito.

Tapos na ang pagbulag-bulagan ay pagbingi-bingihan.  It is time to own up the problem that you created.

Self Made Men

I have only one thing to say about people who have achieved success or prominence through their own efforts. Self-made men are the men who, under peculiar difficulties and without the ordinary help of favoring circumstances, have attained knowledge, usefulness, power, and position.

No rich parents ... No connections ... No Padrinos. Just independent, driven, hard-working, and the determination to succeed are the most basic qualifications. 

Ask yourself ... do you have these qualities? Or are you one of those people who have imbued in themselves that the best way to a better life is ASKING FROM PARENTS? No sweat huh! Are you happy with that? What happens then if your parents are gone ... what now?

This is definitely a RUDE AWAKENING!

The Making of A Self-Made Man

Self-made men start from scratch.  They start with a zero in their pocket and all they have are their dreams and ambition and the energy to succeed.

Children of rich parents had six zeroes digit money in their pockets but removed the rich parent from them - and everything starts crumbling down ... all that is left is a dreamless, indolent, and slothful bunch with no desire to work. 

Self-made men are not born or made. They are self-made.

Pinoy Commentaries

Ang PAGPATAWAD ay peanuts lang naman at hindi mahirap ibigay. Pero pag paulit-ulit na ginawa ang mga kasalanang hindi naman deserve ng tao at siya ang pinagbuntongan mo ng sisi ... naka-semento na sa puso ninuman yong sakit at galit.  OK lang naman silang makinig sa problema ng iba. Pero yong isisi mo sa iba at ipamukha mo na that they are part of the problem na hindi naman sila ang gumawa kundi ikaw, aba ibang usapan na iyan,

Kung NASIRA NA ANG TIWALA (na pati safety ng tao ay iniisip na  niya tuwing kakatok ka ... at baka may gagawin ka) malaki na talaga ang lamat ng hindi ninyo pagkaintiendihan. Mahirap na itong maibabalik pa. And no amount of SORRY can bring it back.

Nobody wants na MAGTANIM ng galit sa kapwa ... pero ISIPIN MO ... may mga taong hindi rin madaling maka-let-go at MAKALIMOT.
