1. How your Journey in Life Lead you to Success
Natanong mo na ba sa sarili mo kung kelan mo kaya makukuha o makakamit yung “SUCCESS”
na hinihintay mo? Iba-iba ang posibleng maging pananaw natin sa salitang ito pero karamihan
sa atin ay pwede na ganito ang tanong sa sarili, “Sa lahat ba nang pinagdaanan o pinagdaraanan
ko ay magiging “SUCCESSFUL” pa rin kaya ako? Parang ang dami-daming namang hadlang kaya
nakakainip gawin at nagiging dahilan upang hindi na natin naising ipagpatuloy ang laban para sa
pangarap mo.
Normal lang ang ganyang pakiramdam kasi ibig sabihin noon ay lalo ka lang naggo-grow as a
person dahil lahat ng pinagdaraanan mo ay nilalagpasan mo kasabay nang mga natutunan mo
sa pag-akyat sa ladder of success mo. Bata pa lang, sinasabi na sa atin ng ating mga magulang
kung ano yung standard life o kinamulatang paniniwala nila na kailangang makatapos tayo ng
pag-aaral para makahanap nang magandang trabaho at maging efficient na empleyado. Marami
sa atin ang hikahos sa buhay, pinipilit mapagtapos nang kanilang mga magulang at bilang anak
ginagawa naman natin ang lahat nang ating makakaya para makatapos at makapaghanap ng
trabaho. Ang tanong, kapag nakatapos at pagkakaroon ba ng trabaho ay masasabing
“SUCCESSFUL” ka na? Para sa akin, hindi batayan kung ano ang natapos nang isang tao maging
siya man ay may pinag-aralan o wala para makuha ang Success na hinahanap niya kundi sa
kanyang kakayahan, tiwala sa saril at determinasyong makamit ang pangarap niya gaano man
kalayo ang lalakbayin niya.
Before we moving forward, let us define the meaning of the word JOURNEY and SUCCESS?
According to Miriam Webster’s Dictionary, JOURNEY means Passage from One Place to
Another or To Travel and SUCCESS means, Degree of attaining one’s Goal or any Person or
Thing successful. Kailangan nating maintindihan ang dalawang salitang ito na makakatulong
upang malaman natin kung gaano kahalaga ang bawat pinagdaraanan natin sa buhay at kung
paano ito makakaapekto sa paghubog nang ating pagkatao para maging mas matapang at
masigasig sa minimithi nating pangarap hindi lang para sa ating mga sarili kundi sa mga taong
mahalaga sa atin.
There is no shortcut for achievement of Goals.
Constant hard work, determination and courage is a must.

In this blog post, we are going to tackle different aspects of our life that has a great contribution
to build the impression of who we are today and how we fight the battles we are pushing at the
same time we are focusing on dealing on our personal traits and character that can be

2. established the way we perceive about challenges, trials and hardship in life leading us to
become a stronger person than we were yesterday. We all can commit mistakes, being a
judgemental person for some quite time and I know we are a great fighter who are willing to
change themselves not to please everybody but aiming to improve ourselves thoroughly.
Here are the factors we consider on How we can be a Successful Person:
1. Be Proactive – Ang isang taong Proactive ay makikilala mo sa pamamagitan nang
kanyang pagsasalita, paano nila panoorin at ihandle ang kanilang mga pag-uugali sa mga
specific situation or event, Very Positive, Forward Thinking Person who are always
taking every opportunity kaya nakukuha nila ang mga gusto nila sa buhay. They tend to
be an energetic, excited and goal oriented person. With “Can Do” Attitude and leave
their comfort zone so they can discover and learn more things in life. Hindi mo
kailangang maging perpekto para makuha yung mga ganitong traits posibleng meron ka
na nang ilan dito kaya maganda na iwork out mo na ang iba.
2. Know Yourself – Ito ang isa sa pinakaimportanteng part para maging successful ka sa
buhay, ang makilala at maintindihan mo muna ang sarili mo sa pamamagitan nang
pagkakaroon ng Self-Awareness, To Improve your Skills and To build Self-Confidence.
A. Self-awareness emphasizes that you know your inner self probably your strengths
and weaknesses which needed to develop, how you react in certain situations
intelligently, you can reflect yourself to other people and learn from them and you
can accept feedback from others. Just remember, kung hihingi ka ng feedback or
make an assessment pwede mong hingin ang tulong ng Family, Friends o mga taong
pinagkakatiwalaan mo para mas lalo mong maintindihan anong dapat mong baguhin
at dapat panatilihin sa ugaling meron ka.
B. We should improve our Speaking, Listening and Questioning Skills because we
communicate everyday with different people with different personality and these
skills can be used as a way to know more the person deeply about what they want,
desire and goals in life. We should speak clearly that people will understand what we
are trying to demonstrate, we must listen carefully with full of concentration on
how a person describe himself and learn how to ask a good question so we can
control a particular conversation.
C. Building Self-Confidence might be hard for all us especially when we are a shy type
person, with low self-esteem and have a lot of fear but once we are identifying and
improving ourselves towards this inferiority it will bring out the best in us. We can
have a self-confidence if we are willing to ask a feedback from our loved ones or

3. other acquaintances so we know what areas do we need to improve, just do some
observation from the behaviour of different people that possibly you possess but
willing to change, make it a habit to learn new things as added to your passion,
mingle with other people surround you and show interest to know more about
them. Surprisingly, you will discover what kind of person you are, how you can
influence others as well as they do to you.
3. Sell Yourself – Maybe you will ask me why we need to Sell Yourself? Napapansin mo
man o hindi ay parte na nang buhay natin ang pagbenta na ating mga sarili. Halimbawa,
bilang isang empleyado, binebenta natin ang ating kaalaman at oras sa mga kompanya
na pinagtatrabahuhan natin para sa sahod na siyang panustos sa ating pamilya. Kung
Pulitiko ka, binebenta mo ang serbisyo na mabibigay mo para sa mga taong
nasasakupan mo. Kung guro ka, binebenta mo ang sarili mo dahil sa mga kaalamang
pwede mong ibahagi sa mga estudyante mo at kahit isa kang simpleng maybahay o
tambay ay may binebenta ka pa rin kapalit nang bagay na gusto mo. You can sell
yourself with other people if they will Know, Like and Trust you. You can become better
selling yourself if you focus on these Key Areas which are Speaking, Listening and
Questioning Skills.
A. Speaking in front of public people ang isa sa kinatatakutan nang karamihan sa atin
dahil mababa ang self-confidence natin, takot at conscious tayo sa mga posibleng
sabihin nang tao. Nandiyang pagpapawisan ka nang malamig at nagkakandabulul-
bulol sa sobrang ka ba. Naranasan ko rin ang ganoong sitwasyon noong estudyante
pa lang ako kaya hindi ako sumasali sa mga school activities o basta yung
magsasalita sa harap ng maraming tao kaya nagbasa ako ng libro kung paano ko
maoovercome ang takot ko na iyon. Isa sa natutunan ko ay ang pagharap sa salamin
at tila kinakausap ko ang sarili ko. Doon ko kasi napraktis kung ano bang facial
gestures ang ginagawa ko kapag nagsasalita ako, nalaman ko paano magkaroon ng
good eye contact sa viewer ko, kung naka-smile ba ako at sinimulan ko na
pagpraktisan ang pamilya at mga kaibigan ko. When I learned how to speak clearly
and properly, I start to build my self-confidence kaya masasabi mong ito ang isang
skills na masarap matutunan.
B. We are Listening sa mga kinakausap natin dahil we can identify kung ano ba talaga
yung totoong nararamdaman nila dahil nakikita nilang concern tayo sa bawat
sinasabi nila. Ito ang mga dapat mong gawin kapag may kausap at nakikinig ka, Be
sure na meron kang Eye Contact dahil ito ang magiging signal na interesado ka sa
sinasabi nang kausap mo , Let other person finish what he has saying para makuha

4. mo yung kabuuan ng information at idea na nais niyang iparating sa iyo and Nod
Your Head as a sign that you understand and respect the speaker. Ang mga
successful person na kilala ko ay ang mga good listener kaya maraming tayo ang
sumusunod at naniniwala sa kanila. Starting now, try to train yourself to become a
good listener and you will find out how it could help you grow and lead you to
success.
C. In Questioning, there is a saying that ‘The Person asking the Questions, Controsl the
Conversation”. Mas magiging successful ka kung marunong kang magtanong kaysa
madalas ikaw ang magsalita nang magsalita, kasi mas makikilala at malalaman mo
kung anong tunay na nararamdaman nang kausap mo. Hindi ba naiirita tayo sa mga
taong salita nang salita yung halos tungkol lang sa sarili niya pinag-uusapan at
unaware na posibleng may pareho kayong interest na magiging daan sa maganda at
maayos na usapan. Isang art ang Questioning, narealized ko lang din na kaya pala
may mga taong ayaw akong kausap kasi hindi ko pansin na ako lang pala ang salita
ng salita. Nang matutunan ko kung paano magtanong, mas nakikilala ko ang bawat
taong nakakausap ko at nagiging magaan ang usapan.
4. First Impressions – madalas ba nating marinig ang katagang ‘First Impression’s Last”.
Kung mapapansin mo, nagiging batayan agad ng ibang tao kung anong first impression
nila sa iyo lalo na kung first time ka pa lang niyang makita. Ang mga factors na pag-
uusapan natin ay siyang dapat mong malaman para magkaroon ng magandang
impression sa iyo ang sino mang makikilala mo and we are focusing on your
Appearance, Attitude, Passion and Body Language.
A. Appearance – honestly, most of us are very judgemental in this the part where
people might see you physically kaya nararapat na maging malinis tayo sa ating mga
sarili from our clothes, nails, hair and teeth because it made a signals with other
people what kind of person we are. On the other hand, we should remember that all
of us have imperfections even the most beautiful person or celebrities we’ve ever
known so the best thing we can do is to appreciate ourselves and leave the good
impression with other people by being smart looking and clean person they would
love to know more.
B. Passion – these are the things na gustong gusto mong ginagawa kahit gaano ka man
ka-busy araw-araw. Bakit? Because those passionate people have a good direction
and great motivation to do what they want and they believe in their real purpose in
life. They enjoyed exploring many things and become a more positive person. If you

5. have passion in reading books, writing a poem, travelling, talking with different
people, listening music, singing, dancing or other thing that makes you happy and
you can influence others to open themselves then you can push it I know you have a
potential to succeed in life no matter how many obstacles you may encounter
because nobody can’t stop you.
C. Attitude – basically, this is all that matters, kahit gaano ka pa kagaling, katalino at
kadiskarte kung wala ka namang Right Mental Attitude wala ring mangyayari sa iyo.
A person who has a right attitude can conquer whatever trials, struggles and pains
na pagdaraanan niya sa buhay. Alam naman nating walang madaling daan para
maging successful ang isang tao. We should have our vision to do our commitment
fulfilling our Goals by having a full determination, motivation, be patience, dedicated
and great positive outlook in life. Say what you Mean, Mean what you Say.
Remember this, “Poor Attitude, Poor Results, Positive Attitude, Positive Results”.
Adopt good attitude and people will start to respect and follow you.
D. Body Language – People are more focusing on our Body Language rather than the
words actually we are saying because it will leave them a negative or positive
impression from these body languages such as Good Handshake, Eye to Eye
Contact, Proper Posture and Facial Expressions. A person who has a self-
confidence, honest and with integrity giving a Firm Handshake to a new friend or
acquaintances, Make an Eye Contact with the person who he is talking to, not
crossing his arms and sit up straight as a signal he is interested to a particular thing
and has a Smiling Facial Expressions who can impress others that he is a joyful,
attractive and accommodating person.
E. Be Punctual – masakit isipin na kilala tayong mga Pilipino dahil sa bansag nang
pagkakaroon ng “Filipino Time” na pag-uugali. Habit ito nang mga taong sanay at
hindi marunong magpahalaga sa takdang oras mapa-meeting man o usual na usapan
para magkita. I am very Punctual person dahil yun ang pinamulat nang mga
magulang ko sa akin simula pagkabata hanggang sa ngayon dahil naniniwala akong
ang oras nang ibang tao ay mahalaga at ditto mo rin masusukat yung tinatawag na
Professionalism nang isang tao. Sa mga kompanya, napakahalaga nang pagiging
punctual ng isang empleyado because it will determine how committed and
responsible you are para sa mga trabahong binigay sa iyo. Kailangan mong
matutunan na maging Punctual or On-Time sa mga araw at oras na nakatakdang
binigay para sa iyo. Ang ginagawa ko, tinatantiya ko ang pupuntahan kong lugar at
mag-a-allot ako nang 30 minutes before kame magkita ng kausap ko ay nasa lugar na

6. ako o nasa opisina. Mas maagap, mas marami kang magagawa at hindi
nagmamadali.
5. Understanding Others – We have different views, behaviour and personality that can
affect our relationship with each other. Posibleng mahirap intindihin ang ugali ng bawat
isa pero isang magandag opportunity na maging adaptable and flexible tayo na makilala
ang mga taong nasa paligid natin. Bakit? You will find out the same interest that you can
talk to, know the reason why people act on different way and discovering the good
qualities of a leader by acknowledging and sharing all the traits and personality may
impose by both side.
6. Setting a Goals– Decide what you really want to achieve in life and never let other
people steal your dreams. Use acronym SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable,
Realistic and Time) when setting your goals. Specific kung anong outcome ang gusto
mong maachieve, Meausrable paano mo masusukat paano mo ito makukuha, Attainable
anong mga tamang action ang susunod mong gagawin, Realistic o mga posibleng bagay
dapat ang tinatarget mo for you to accomplish it with Time or deadline which haven’t a
specific date but what you can guess.
7. Take your Personal Goal – All of us have our own Personal Goals in Life that we consider
as part of success including Health, Family and Friends, Relationships and Personal
Appearance. Number One Priority ng bawat isa sa atin ang magkaroon ng malusog at
malakas na pangangatawan kaya siguraduhing masustansiya ang kinakain at maglaan ng
oras para makapag-ehersisyo kahit sampung minuto araw-araw. Our Family and Friends
are the best people who we can turn to through thick and thin. Be sure na magkaroon
ka ng oras para makasama sila ng madalas no matter how busy you are. Establishing a
good relationship with other people around you like your spouse, children, family,
friends, neighbour, boss or business partner are one of the most important thing in life
that can help you to become successful because everyday we are communicating with
these people and we learn from each other by sharing our different belief, opinion,
thoughts and point of view in life which has a great impact with our own personality .
We are very conscious with our Personal Appearance mainly our proper hygiene
because we want to leave a good impression with other people that we have a self-
respect, confidence, smart-looking and respectable image.
8. Create Vision or Dream Board - Para maging makatotohanan at laging mainspired na
magawa mong maabot yung mga Goals mo ay gumawa ka ng tinatawag na “Vision” or
“Dream Board” kung saan nakalagay doon yung mga material na bagay tulad ng

7. pangarap mong sasakyan, bahay, lugar na gusto mong mapuntahan, malaking savings na
pangarap mo o ano mang physical thing na siyang araw-araw mong titingnan para
maging motivated ka to take an action. Pwede mong ilagay sa deckboard ng kama mo,
gawing wallpaper ng cellphone mo, harapan ng refrigerator, katabi ng mga malaking
salamin ninyo, gawin wall screen sa laptop mo, gawing parang picture sa wallet mo
basta yung lugar na madalas mong nakikita upang mas maging excited, energetic at
positive ka araw-araw para sa pag-abot ng mga Goals mo.
9. Execute your Plan – Kung meron ka nang vision or dream board na everyday mong
titingnan the next thing you should do is to think what you need to do in order to make
your Vision or Plan happen. This will happen if you have a core of good planning,
effective techniques or strategies, automated system or tools for your business and
continuous program where you can learn a step-by-step procedure guiding you from
how to start your Goal until towards the results you are waiting. Remember that no
matter how big your Goals are no one else will going to fulfil it but expect from yourself
only. Without moving any action from your part, nothing will get done or accomplish
from what you want.
10. Write down your Thought in Journal – This is the best way to track what happen with
you everyday. Lahat ng naiisip, nararamdaman ko at nangyayari sa akin everyday ay
sinusulat ko sa isang Journal or Diary maging tungkol man sa personal o career Goal ko.
Magandang balikan yung mga araw na pinagdaanan mo yung negative or positive
scenario sa buhay mo. Marami kang matutunan, madidiskubre at maiseshare sa ibang
tao kung paano mo nalagpasan at napagtagumpayan yung mga obstacles na hinaharap
mo ngayon. Sa pagsusulat mo rin mailalabas yung mga salitang hindi mo basta mailabas
sa ibang tao. Maraming pwedeng magbago sa paraan mo paano mag-isip towards life
and your behaviour sa ibang taong nakakasalimuha mo.
11. Use Affirmations – What is Affirmations? According with Dorina and Remez Sasson,
Affirmations are positive statements that described desire situation, event, habit or
goals. When these positive statements repeated often, mentally or aloud, they act like
autosuggestions, affecting subconscious mind, which turn in affects one’s behaviour,
habits and even external situations and circumstances. Ito yung mga example ng mga
positive affirmations na pwede mong basahin o sabihin araw-araw sa iyong sarili na
makakatulong para magkaroon ka ng positive thought, I am a winner, God is always love
me, I am healthy and sexy, I am blessed, I will become rich, I can do whatever it takes.

8. 5 things to tell yourself each day
1. Today will be my day
2. I am the best me there is
3. I know that I am a winner
4. I can do it, I know I can
5. God will always be with me
12. Review your Goals Daily – Everyday, you should review your Goals once a day but much
better kung mas madalas para ma-track mo kung anu-ano yung mga possible na na-
accomplish mo. Gawin ito pagkagising mo sa umaga at bago ka matulog sa gabi. The
more you do it, mararamdaman mo yung burning desire ng katawan at isip mo para
makagawa ka ng mga tamang action upang unti-unti mong makuha isa-isa mga
pangarap mo. Reviewing your progress will help you monitoring kung anong mga
pagkakamali ang dapat mong maitama at mga bagay na kailangan mo pang iimprove to
become successful.
13. Share your Life Experiences - A successful person share his own life experiences about
how he work hard, test his own commitment, take all the struggles, hardships and trials
as one of the important ingredients that makes us stronger and to succeed in life. Other
people are looking for a person he can relate to dahil sa mga sitwasyong pinagdaraanan
niya ngayon tulad mo nahihirapan ka man sa pagkuha ng mga pangarap mo ay masasabi
kong ipagpatuloy mo lang ang paglaban para sa maginhawang buhay na inaasam mo
hindi lang para sa sarili mo kundi sa buong pamilya mo at taong naniniwala rin sa
kakayahan mo.
14. Never Give Up – Hindi ko sinasabing magiging successful ka kaagad sa buhay kahit
sundin mo lahat nang nasa article na ito dahil nakadepende pa rin sa iyo yung magiging
action na gagawin mo. Marami tayong pinagdaraanan sa buhay na posibleng maging
negative or positive ang maging dating sa atin at pwedeng magpapababa ng tiwala natin
sa ating mga sarili at sa diyos. You will succeed in life if you are always focus on reaching
your Goal, never ever give up no matter what, be patient, persistent, determined,
motivated, consistent, enthusiastic, positive thinker, with right mental attitude and
willing to challenge his limits.
“Never Give up on what you really want to do. The person with big
dreams is more powerful that one with all the facts.” – Albert Einstein
