LOSING IS..

I checked out my blog awhile ago and I saw the “Trump quote of the Day.”
"Losing is (series of naughty words)."

For me, let me enumerate what does losing means: ( I don’t know if these are naughty..=) )

-Losing is being sacred to face challenges.
-Losing is quitting.
-Losing is being close minded.
-Losing is just thinking of one’s self.
-Losing is being bitter.
-Losing is being greedy.
-Losing is a loser.
-Losing is not letting you grow.
-Losing is not winning.


What’s yours?

I didn’t write these definitions because I want to lose or I am a loser but because I want to share what are the possible things that can make us a loser. You can write as many as you want. Now we are aware of the” losing factors” and you’ve given your reasons too, do you think you still have larger probability to lose than to win?

The BIG CHEESE TRAP!












Job fairs attract people.

Yes they do! Whenever I see a big crowd at the activity center of Glorietta, I can only think of 3 things:

1. There is an ongoing SALE!

2. There is a concert, mall tour, program (whatever you want to call it), or

3. There is a JOB FAIR!

I was once got struck at the middle of a crowd in a job fair not looking for a job but looking at these “hopefuls” submitting their best resumes to all the companies that they are qualified for. They all sell themselves for a higher pay. The well –known companies are the ones getting a lot of applications. Some of them use their creativity in order for you to apply like signing bonuses, referral incentives, their benefits and retirement package, insurances or even a free phone just to attract job seekers! These are very attractive and catchy to people who desperately wanted to get hired and start earning. As I’ve mentioned it is catchy. So what’s the catch? You will be bought (which is your salary) by these companies but you will be imprisoned for long years (to work for them and wait for your retirement benefits!) I see employment as a BIG CHEESE TRAP waiting for the RATS to have a taste of its delicious cheese then slowly trapping them inside. Employment trains you how to become the best EMPLOYEE but it will never teach you how to become the BOSS! You will work for them and get paid for the amount they bought you.

I, myself has been trapped for 2 years now. I work hard, render overtime and I can be the BEST EMPLOYEE that I can be for the company. I am still an EMPLOYEE or a rat being trapped in their CHEESE game. I dreamed to become in a higher position like a manager or a senior manager before. But then I realized, I will STILL be an EMPLOYEE. Title will change but occupation and work will just be the same! I will still stay in the office for more than 8hrs to finish my work and I will still have less time for myself and my family. I am not growing! I suddenly realized this is not what I want and this is not how my life and my family’s life should going to be. I have bigger dreams and working all my life is not part of it. So I deserve better than that. And being a part of a big company doesn’t mean job security. You are never sure on what will happen. I will not have any control if I will just stand still. I don’t want to be trapped in this game for the rest of my life. I want to have control of the things I want for me and my family. I can only achieve this security for my future by being in control not being under control of then success and freedom will follow.

I saw a lot of opportunities other than employment and it was showed to me by Create Abundance 2020. I will be successful because I choose to. I want to make and be a part of the big difference that CA2020 would like to happen. I choose to be a leader and an apprentice as well. This community didn’t show me just the bigger opportunities but also they showed me my purpose in life. I owe it to CA2020 in making me aware and feel the urgency for me to achieve my goals and dreams. Soon, I will be out of the rat race. Very soon! And I know being in partnership with CA2020 will help me grow to what I want for myself and for this country to become.

Now think of your life for the next 3-5 years. Do you see yourself still playing inside the RAT RACE? Do you see how your future will gonna be? Would it still be having less time with your children? Still delaying your dreams? And when do you want to start?

Think of it then think again.
