Who You Become?

From inception you become a being with no consciousness until you are born, being an infant you’ll be the most demanding parasite, cry when you need something, cry when you feel uncomfortable, and cry for no reason at all…then grow to be a toddler, the most stubborn creature, live by playing and everything else is a game…then come adolescence, curiosity will be your main motivation not thinking of the consequences of your actions, reckless, you do as you please…then adulthood, as you become aware of your world you’ll learn to compete as you will desire for achievements thus making you the vicious, treacherous predator or if you’ll not be able to fight you’ll be the pathetic prey…Then the inevitable, you’ll grow older…..on this part I cannot tell because it will be YOU who will decide on what would you be at the end of it all…a parasite again or the host?

I have decided, I am going to be the host who will sufficiently provide for my dependents. And by that I mean to go on and work my ass out in working out to be able to achieve what we call financial independence.

  1. Who one becomes results from the things a person does or does not do. No one becomes a good doctor without studying. So one must study to become a successful businessman. Lack of ambition, determination, inaction, etc. leave the person behind.

Are OFW's Rich?

"Overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) are not rich. We have this notion that when someone is an OFW or based abroad, he or she is loaded. Not true. An OFW might earn from P50K-P300K a month, depending on the location. Those in Saudi Arabia or the United States might earn in the high range. But to say that they're 'rich' is a fallacy (amen!). There's no place like home - Living Abroad : For some OFW's the notion maybe true but for most it's a fallacy like what the author of the article where I got the excerpt said. I have seen the plight of some unfortunate Filipinos working here in Qatar and even heard of some earning as low as QR 700.00 that is roughly Php 8,360.00. Imagine the hardships and the sacrifices it takes just to earn that meagre amount so they can send money home. I just can't imagine how they are surviving with that salary as the cost of living here is relatively higher compared to Saudi Arabia. My food allowance here ranges from QR 5...

One Car for Every OFW Tax Free

Image via Wikipedia One lazy evening my buddy Delfin, his wife and I were having coffee at a nearby coffee shop to where we live here in Qatar, it’s the usual conversation until it lead to about how difficult it is to acquire a Qatar driving license, then we turn to cars on how easy it is to own one here because banks here are so aggressively offering car loans to those who are interested even to those that are not interested. It is easier to buy a car abroad than in our country as the banks ask only of minimal requirements unlike in the Philippines where banks have their own agents to look into the credit standing of the person who is applying for a loan and sometimes even go deeper than that, as if he is some kind of a criminal being under surveillance but that’s my own observation anyway.
