Make it the best year ever
Let me start this way: People, because they have the freedom to choose, can do anything they want whether it’s good or bad for them—their career, their business, their relationship, their health—or for other people. It’s also not a mystery at all to be solved. It’s a universal truth that if human beings can promise, then they can break that promise, too.
But let me give you a clue here: Don’t let that happen to you. When you promise, make it work. Stay away from the 95% of the people who simply can’t make it because they choose not to. And beware: for this 95% will surely pull you so you’ll break your promise as well. Be tough.
Year 2007 marks the second anniversary of our company and I’m glad to see how it amazingly grew over the past couple of months with clients like the Philippine Center for Entrepreneurship, National Bookstore, The Manila Times Internet Edition all on board.
Before 2006 marks its offing, I still got some deals closed without me actually closing it. To be more specific, the Harry Pound Company got me in as a brand and marketing consultant, website engineer and printer of their marketing materials. Never a bad deal to accomplish at the age of 24, right?
Let me backtrack. It was in 2004 when I promised myself to just live my dreams and make each and every move to turn my imagination to reality—be the best after another best. And the thing is I really had to promise myself and commit to that promise—never to let go of what I commit myself to doing—to make it to the finish line.
Until now, I’m in the race. Well, maybe another race for another year. I do my stuff silently in such a way that they always get surprises by the results and my company and I produce in every transaction made.
I think the same goes with you, my friend. Year 2007 will be soon gone. And you can only better yourself and get as much experience as you can so it won’t get to waste. Time will never wait for you.
And life will never give you what you need. It gives you what you deserve. If you promise yourself to accumulate wealth, reduce weight, get promoted, graduate with honors, have a brand new girlfriend or boyfriend, then you must work for it.
Sure enough after the year is gone you’ll look back. And you can only see either of the two: look back with regret because you failed or look back with celebration because you made it. Both cannot occupy your limited mind at the same time. And you can’t celebrate while you feel regretful about things.
People have to choose. Never treat time as if you have an unlimited supply. None of us has any contract with life. Sooner or later, we’re all gone. Big question: Did you live a happy, fulfilling life?
So, the bottom line: Make this year your best year ever! |
