Connecting is Re-connecting with the Source

March 28th, 2009

I just came back from a dinner with former colleagues.
Precious was our time together.
Our bond transcends beyond iMBOs, KRAs and ROIs.

Wins

We shared our wins, the way we always used to do.
Wins are blessings outside of work-related stuff.

Although I shared three wins, I realized that in all my wins I had a central theme.

Millionaires Among Us

March 26th, 2009

I encountered Lloyd Luna one day and started reading more about him. I was fascinated with what this young man had achieved.

He was a student journalist who had risen from a “great depression” in his life. He had made good and accumulated his wealth through books (”Is there a job waiting for you?” among others), speaking engagements (an inspirational speaker), events management and marketing. Lloyd is so prolific, I hear that Lloyd is able to write a book within two weeks.

Read my previous article about Lloyd: AGMT!

What inspired me most is that he was a Millionaire by age 25 (link to “K” interview). That just means that he had created so much value for society that he was given back millions for the value he created. That is the kind of value I want to create as well.

Litratuwaan: Katuwaan sa Litrato, The Weekly Photo Game

March 13th, 2009

Through the years, I’ve compiled hundreds of photos. Some of them I’ve uploaded to my online photo album http://photos.edongskey.com . But many more of them are in my hard drive.

Some of these photos I’ve been lugging around for more than 5 years, transferring them from one computer to another when I move jobs or change computers.

I thought I’d put these photos into good use and publish them in a series. It’s going to be in the form of a guessing game.

To The Eraserheads: Thank you for the music and memories!

March 11th, 2009

In the aftermath of the last Eraserheads concert ever, I take time to write how the Eraserheads and their songs were a memorable part of my college days. Plus a few musings on the Eraserheads Final Set last Saturday.

Eraserheads ejected

I remember my brother telling me a story of his first encounter with the Eraserheads. The event I’m about to share happened before the Eraserheads gained popularity upon releasing their first album Ultraelectromagneticpop.

In June 1990, the Eraserheads performed at the Freshman orientation program. The freshmen didn’t know them. The eheads had a cult following in UP, but not much beyond that.

After singing their allotted three songs, they continued to play a 4th and 5th song. They were singing Read the rest of this entry »

Questions that empower

March 6th, 2009

Here’s an article clipping I got via our corporate newsletter. It’s about asking questions that empower. I’m keeping it here to remind me to ask these questions … first and foremost, ask them to myself ;-)

Excerpts from Real Leaders Ask
(Harvard Business Review, Written by Judith A. Ross)

The most effective and empowering questions create Read the rest of this entry »

Mind Map: Dude, where’s my mind?

March 5th, 2009

Mindmapping. I’ve heard a lot about it, I’ve read a lot about it, but I have limited knowledge or experience about it.

Today is a good day to start. After the jump, I’ll share where I’ve heard about mind-mapping, a few links on mind mapping, my first ever mind-mapping project which is open for everybody to add to. ;-)

Have you tried mind-mapping before? Click through and share.

And now, we ask, “Dude, where’s my mind?”
