Only The Real Matters

"Here are stories of loyalty. Stories of friendship. Stories of persistence. Stories of attempts and endeavors, failure and success. Real stories of real people--their businesses, their treasures, their wealth, their heroes. People who, after putting a lid on their careers in order to define who they are, have discovered a deeper meaning to their lifework--work that has been transformed from an obsessive bondage to a source of tremendous fulfillment and joy."
Three Little Words

Being The Best

Early Bird
₱ 300.00
"The early bird gets the worm..." but has it ever occurred to you that the early worm gets eaten. In line with this thinking, being the first may not necessarily be good, because the first mouse gets trapped, but the second one gets the cheese. What I'm trying to say is that life is a matter of perspective. It's not what happens to you; it's how you look at it and how you take it."
All that Matters
₱ 350.00
"There are many things that matter--the big things as well as the small things. But what matters most should matter now, and the big things we dream about would one day happen, but only when we sweat the small things and improve on it now."

"52 weeks of lesson reminders, stories, and personal reflections that we hope will help you write down the start of your milestones for your leadership process."

Gratitude
SUNDAY MEDITATION GRATITUDE turns what we have into enough. It shifts our focus from what is missing to what is already present. When we feel stuck, let us begin counting our blessings, even the small ones: the air in our lungs, the roof over our heads, and the people who love us. We are richer […]

Crucial Conversations
What kind of conversations excite you? Excellent people talk about ideas. Good people talk about events.Average people talk about things. Small-minded people talk about other people. (anon) Ideas stretch the mind. Events inform the mind. Things occupy the mind. Gossip shrinks the mind. Choose your conversations carefully because they shape your thinking, your attitude, and […]

BOSSES NEED LEADERSHIP TRAINING
When a leader says, “This plan, the presentation or the proposal missed the mark,” it invites a rewrite, a conversation, a chance to improve. When a leader says, “You’re careless,” the message stops being about the work. It becomes about the person. Instead of building improvement, you start building a wall. Same concern. Different wording. […]

Win The Outcome
Before you argue your side, make sure you can understand theirs. State their case so well that they would nod and say, “Yes, that is what I mean.” People do not usually change because you are louder. They become more open when they feel understood. Argue the problem, not the person. Get on the same […]

The Real People with Substance
Ever met hotshot officials, prima donna artists, or even speakers who throw their weight around as if the room should pause and salute? They refuse to fall in line like everybody else. They get offended when asked for an ID. They expect special treatment, faster service, and a little extra bowing from the universe. Do […]

The Company You Keep
Look around at the company you keep. Every person in your circle is either holding you back or pushing you forward. There is no neutral. Your environment quietly becomes your reality. Spend your time with people who only talk about the past, and you’ll live there. Spend it with people building something, and you’ll start […]

CROCODILE TEARS
MONDAY PHRASE: CROCODILE TEARS We use “crocodile tears” to describe fake sorrow or insincere emotion. The phrase comes from an old belief that crocodiles cried while eating their victims, as though they were showing remorse. Science has since rejected this idea, but the legend survived in language. Today, the phrase reminds us that not every […]
