The man who would be President

It is more fun criticizing

When I was very young (in high school)  I was sick and my Lelong (from my mother's side)  remarked that I should be careful with my health.  because he foresaw that I could be President.  I laughed the comment aside because it was very far from the truth

But now reviewing the list of candidates who have announced their candidacy

    1.  Emmanuel Pacquiao
    2.  Ping Lacson
    3.  BBM
    4.  Isko Moreno

I can say my Lelong was right.   I possess the intellect and the determination, and the academic qualifications to lead the nation.  I do not have issues in the likes of Pacquiao (lack of academic qualification - I have an MBA;  I took my college for 4 full years)      nor the suspicion on the association with the criminal groups or being accused in the Orbito case, nor the aspersion of Martial Law for BBM, nor the NPA alleged link with Isko.

I do not however have the political machinery nor the billions of PHP to launch my Presidency.  And so what my Lelong said was a self serving statement.  But I am almost there.

ANO ANG TUWID NA DAAN?
. My uncle told me last Saturday this father, (our late Lelong) said that to reach your goal, the shortest distance is the straight line between point A to point B. That is what he used to tell his children (my cousin)
But he also told me and he realized, that there are rotondays (circles or byways) in that road/path.



Thus his children told him that they may have diversions, but "Dad i will make sure that I reach that goal."
Now what is tuwid na daan. That of my Lelong or that of my cousin?
Take note that to reach that goal, time is an important resource. Many of our colleagues waste their time procrastinating ie putting off things that they can do today. Sometimes, they try to save on centavos but lose thousands daily on cost of money. How sad.: lack of perception of value and the real meaning of running a business.  Do not understand HABAKUK, the quick and the dead, the importance of time and speed as a competitive advantage
Sometimes they get bad habits for lack of strict supervision or lack of training and mentoring where they used to work before. Having ore salary and working in business district does not show that they had good training.  Some of them manage to give alibis, or object, after the meeting is over and decisions are made.  How can we succeed if the byways are our people? Who needs enemies and other hindrances.?

THE HEADS LEAD THE TAILS. Our actions affect others and their perception of success and leadership.
