March 13 GUMPTIONGumption! u got it ? gee, i dont know , which is the word i normally use when i m asked to describe myself , this is the thing im in possession of and i know this is the very thing we need to make positive changes in our lives.
last night , when i was in the middle of the class , one of the students said i was kinda nagging while i was trying to give them a little pep talk by suggesting they get their act together in terms of learning english and i said there was one of them who has made a huge difference in her english and she could be the perfect example followed by the rest of the class , which might have pissed off some of them , maybe i shouldnt have done that cos its none of my business whether they want to learn or not , i was doing that out of kindness of my heart , i was just pointing out a fact that they need the fire to make changes happen ...
personally , i got tons of things that need to be taken care of at this point in my life , im having to deal with the reality being a pro and dedicated teacher , being a nice and pleasant guy to be around for SOMEONE , but one of the most important intentions i set for myself this year is to become more of a successful businessman. i know its really hard and there is a learning curve for me , im being patient and eager to learn whatever it takes to learn the entrepreneur skills. i got my own business , which requires me to approach people well and rub people the right way. i might need to change the way i dress cos i always look like a kid , u know being in a suit or anything formal will make me look like a crown and it feels like a fish outta water . however ,,,people tend to make assumptions (mostly incorrect) and judgements(mostly stupid) by the way u dress ... u c , this is the part i hate being an entrepreneur , why do i have to change the way i m to make people like u ... but i know i gotta get used to it and it doesnt hurt to wear something else for a change :) i know there's gotta be more to being a successful businessman than that , but there is one thing i will stick by is being honest and sincere . i know the bottomline of any business is make money , i like it and i need it desperately , im the hungriest person in this whole world for money:) , but i will make it like a man with integrity . i have my own personal values , which might be out of alignment with some of my prospects , chances are i might have to miss out on the opportunity , i dont know ,maybe this is the stupid perspective i have , but there is a nagging feeling deep down inside , or i should say i really should trust my gut instinct , being a successful businessman with integrity , being solid , being professional will go a long way and all these qualities will bring me what exactly i need ...i hate being a rich businessman who is not pleasant to be around and completely unenthical , i cant imagine myself being that type of individual , i hate it , it's disgusting.
watever , whoever reads this may not like what he is reading and think im such a phony , watever, i dont care ,,,hey , this is me , tony...
now i was kinda done with the first phase of my second official business adventure , and im excited about it , this is the second time i have ever created a business of my own 100% . three years , i was devastated 3 yrs ago when i lost everything , i was broke and i hate to rethink and relive that dark chapter of my life , but that was a valuable learning experience that will benefit me for the rest of my life , im proud that i did it even though i didnt NAIL it , now im about to move on to the second phase ... step by step , i know i will get there sooner or later , why im so positive , you know it , i know it , cos i have GUMPTION ! |
