"A superior man is modest in his speech, but exceeds in his actions."
- Confucius
Pero alam nyo ba kung sino pa mas gagaling kay Confucius pag dating sa LESS WORDS and MORE in ACTION ?
....si Mr. Bean.
Kaya siya ang role model ng mga bata, at magiging philosopher siya after ~100 years, gaya ng nangyari ke Confusedsus. LOL

Seriously, we should do more in action than in words. I learned this the hard way. I also had a talk with a friend of mine, a business partner, and so I am following through with his suggestion / advise.
For now, I apologize for my readers. I currently am in isolation & planning mode. I haven't written anything in quite a while. Not even facebooking much, except for urgent matters. I did not go out the past few weeks (besides the Holy Week weekend, when I kinda got forced to go out for a little vacation at Sariaya, Quezon - although it was time well spent) because I am doing something that to me is very very important. Like I said, I'm in planning mode.
It will take me a few more weeks or days, until I finish my careful planning. I plan to do or set out at least a 5-year plan. This was a bit new to me. Sir Jomar Hilario (the VA & internet marketing guru) taught me this. It was the first time I encountered such an idea. He was not even proposing a 5-year plan, but a 500 years plan (if I remember it right)!
Plans like that doesn't mean building a life. It's about building a legacy. Maybe that was what Dr. Stephen Covey was saying about his "8th Habit" book?
Anyway, I'll follow up on the posts I've promised soon. For now, I am set out to seek myself.
Just kidding. I've already sought myself, I already have a mission statement. I already know (in my mind & in my heart) what I really wanted to do, my plans, my vision for my future. I just have to put everything in writing (although I've already made a few on the current Roles that I have in my personal / professional life).
What I have to do now is to lay-out my plans for my MISSION. It's high time to follow-through on the mission statement that I've made, I understand that I've put in some pretty big statements in there.. so I'm now set to plan (and plan well), to visualize, to put everything in writing, and then next in line is to EXECUTE this plan.
You know what the best advise is that I can give for people like me who has made a decision or set out an intention (or more like a "New Year's Resolution - except that today is not a New Year) and want to make sure that this decision, intention or resolution is REALLY REALLY going to be made true and followed-up on?
Look out for Dr. Levinson and his book "Following Through: A Revolutionary New Model For Finishing Whatever You Start."
For more info on the book, look here:
Following Through: A Revolutionary New Model For Finishing Whatever You Start by Dr. Steve Levinson & Pete Greider
Excerpts:
I am not here to sell that book. But I've listened to an audio recording / interview about this book.. and it simply blew me away. It offers a real solution, some really doable steps and strategies. And so I highly highly highly recommend it!
This book tells us, for example, why New Year's Resolutions generally don't come true. It's not anyone or everyone's fault. Like Dr. Levinson said, it's a SPECIE's problem. It's not even an ATTITUDE problem. It's a problem in our evolution as Man. We have some serious natural faults or issues as members of the Homo Sapiens (and we don't have to beat ourselves up for these faults - it's part of God's gifts & plan for us), but we do also have serious benefits - like, as Stephen Covey puts it: being being able to choose our response to stimuli unlike other species in the Animal Kingdom, being self-aware, or having the ability to work on our Circle of Influence (as per Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Effective People). The serious benefits that Dr. Levinson and Pete Greider is talking about is what they call our "Intelligent Guidance System", and the natural faults or "faulty wiring" that we have within us are our "Primitive Guidance System".
As I have posted before on my mission statement, I want to show only the best when it comes to resource persons, gurus, books, tools, readings or education on Success and Financial education. So pay attention.. this guy (Dr. Levinson) and his book "Following Through" is one of them. I will do a follow-up post on him later on.
Anyway, thanks for now. I hope to post again anew very soon!
God bless and Good luck to everyone on their business, work or their personal endeavors!
Live a Happy & Abundant Life! ;)
