Sariling Sikap

Sometimes we can’t always afford to always be serviced, mas praktikal ang sariling sikap. Yep! It’s more practical and we can even do it on our own time and pace. Walang mahahassle and much more we can do it on the privacy of our own home. Ah yes the wonders Self Help materials can do. :D

I believe that next phase of having that enthusiasm to read is to read the books and study the materials that can actually teach you something helpful, materials that can develop and even make you learn from the experiences and expertise of others.

The first ever book that I actually bought besides Pugad Baboy Series (for the entertainment value) and the ECE Books (because of the board exams). Hindi pa kasama dito ang sandamakmak na manuals at laboratory workbook eh ang Success for Dummies ni Zig Ziglar. Sale pa ng National Bookstore nun! And I was able to buy it for Php 250.00. Considering the things I have learned from that book, I’d say I have bought more that I have paid for.

One of the chapters in that book tried to suggest the area of your life you would actually want to change or you consider needing more development among the others.

get test here: Focusing on Needed Goals

My result looks like this. (Hmn… I really think I need to lose some weight).



Well the point of the test is to confirm to you what you actually think is important. What you actually would like to accomplish. What you must focus on. And from there – you can focus on your efforts on achieving further for that area.

For one I could say, Self Development materials aim to confirm what you already know. What are already embedded to your kind and fine nature, but our environment has its ways of persuading us to what might lead us differently from those virtues. Thus we, from time to time need to rethink our ways, recalibrate where we are and where we would like to be. And at some point actually aim for something.


One of my senior commented, that he doesn’t believe what these authors have written. Like they are contradicting or all of them have the biases from their experiences, and makes us believe that if we do how they did it, we will be successful when in fact we all have the different lives and there is no actual pattern for success.

There is no exact life true, there is no pattern for success – but I believe that there are principles. Much like law of gravity, Human Relations, Spiritual Faith, Finance and Success are governed by principles. And when you get to develop and instill them to yourself one can accomplish what his / her good heart desires. Sure, I can learn from experiences, but history also tells us that we don’t have to reinvent the wheel, thus experiences and expertise from who came first can be a good guide and helps us to further our steps even though we are just to walk through that path yet.

Siemps mas masaya kung maraming kasama diba? May makashare… I haven’t walked this path before it’s all new and equally promising much like everyday. No one say he’s actually righteous and doing it perfectly, that the same reason why I would like to share it. Flawed and all… isn’t it a breath of fresh air to realize what you would like to change? Umn… well its not, but you get my point.

And for sure, mas malupit kung mabasa mo rin from the actual author, yung mga i-sha-share at paguusapan natin. Sharing experiences and learnings like all friends do. So from sariling sikap to group effort!

Tara! :D
