Personal Wisdom

Wow! Tremendous how life has been over the years. Dropped by at my former employer here at the South, a multi-national company I worked for, for almost a couple of decades. Have given much to this company (like most of the people there), including my youth, heheh. No regrets for my experiences here has molded me to be the best that I can be. Okay, enough of past life's drama.

I went there after my errands within the area. I had lunch with some supervisors. I treasure exchanging updates with them and just knowing how they're doing. After lunch, unfortunately there's no available dessert, just ran out of leche flan, so we dropped by at the office of the big boss of Manufacturing, to have some free coffee (no not the one shown on the photo below).
I remember the last time I got an interview with this "seems-like-nothing-can-stop-him" person, was almost 20 years ago, when I was as a staff of the official newsletter of the company. He was a newly-hired manager then. He was rehired recently after a short stint with another electronic company. Can you believe he started out a working student who rendered services as an assembler at the "refrigeration and freezer" section of GE (General Electric Company)?

He has never tired of work, just continuing to love what he does, with so much passion, even when the going gets tough. He sticks to his life's disciplines which he nurtured since childhood, much from his Inang (his industrious mother). I searched my old article on the guy where I quoted him saying "You can best measure the capability of a person when he is down, loaded with numerous tasks for accomplishment, than when he is at the top."

Got some updates from him and after leaving his office, I realized I left bringing with me some valuable real-life lessons straight from a guy who has succeeded in life. More of these lessons in my other posts.

Moments of truth ... share your best to others, you'll never know how much positive impact you can have in their lives.

By the way, glad for the free coffee and the free wisdom at the side.
