Gut Check

It has been almost a month since I came back from Thailand. It has been three weeks since the formulation of our new product has started. Now we are almost half the battle. We promised someone to deliver the goods by next year... And that we will do!

Never did I think that such will happen. When I started with my job almost 5 months ago, I thought that we are developing brands for the Philippines. I thought that what I studied in college was right. That a quality education will instantaneously guarantee success. I WAS DEAD WRONG!

I have yet to use 80% of what I have studied in my double degree course. All I am using is more on what values were instilled on me. Hard work, perseverance, and communication.

People notice how hard I work. And it is very flattering. I do not try to be benchmark or the "bibo" associate. I'm just enjoying my work and doing what is best for my company. I just strive hard in order to make my company grow.

It is not just hard work and a great mind that are needed to succeed. One must know how to communicate his thoughts to others, make them listen and lastly absorb what is said. Communication is needed in order to deliver what is inside your head to others. This will build relationships. Strengthen ties. And a key factor to one's success.

I have goals... I have dreams...
I'm still far, thus it seems...
It might take a while to come true...
Everything depends on what I do...

What will transpire is my gauge...
To see if success in just in range...
I'll do everything to be in the zone!
So that all I want I can own!
