Dati bumili ako ng isang libro, Zen Flesh Zen Bones: A Collection of Zen and Pre-Zen Writings. Ang isang kuwento doon (“The Tunnel”) ay may payong tungkol sa tagumpay na pag-aaralan natin dito:

Noong unang panahon, ang isang anak ng samurai na nagngangalang Zenkai ay naging empleyado ng isang opisyal. Sa kasamaang palad, nagkagusto siya sa asawa ng opisyal at, noong nadiskubre sila, pinatay ni Zenkai ang opisyal para ipagtanggol ang kanyang sarili. Nagtanan sila ng asawa at naging magnanakaw sila. Matapos ang ilang panahon, nandiri si Zenkai sa kasakiman ng babae kaya iniwan niya ito at naging pulubi siya sa probinsya ng Buzen.

Para makapagbayad-sala, hinangad ni Zenkai na gumawa ng kabutihan bago siya mamatay. Noong nalaman niya ang tungkol sa isang mapanganib na daanan sa isang lambak o valley kung saan maraming manlalakbay ang namatay, napag-isipan niyang maghukay ng tunnel sa bundok na gawa sa bato. Habang nanlilimos siya ng pagkain araw araw, nagtrabaho siya gabi gabi.

The Steel Quality of Success (You’ll NEVER Win Without It!)

Some time ago I bought a book called Zen Flesh Zen Bones: A Collection of Zen and Pre-Zen Writings and one of the stories there (“The Tunnel”) best illustrates the success lesson we’re about to learn here:

Once upon a time, a samurai’s son named Zenkai became the retainer of an official. Unfortunately, he fell in love with that official’s wife and, when he was discovered, Zenkai killed the official in self-defence. He then ran away with the woman and they both became thieves to survive. After a while, however, Zenkai grew disgusted by the woman’s greed and so he left her and he became a beggar at Buzen province.

To atone for his past misdeeds, he wanted to do something good before he died. When he found out about a dangerous road in a valley where many travelers died, he decided to carve a tunnel through the stone mountain. Begging for food during the day, he did his work every night.

Iwasan Mo ang Pagkakamaling Ito Kung Ayaw Mong Malugi

Dati mayroon kaming lumang second-hand maroon na SUV. Dahil sa pagkaluma, madalas nasisiraan ang mga parte nito. Nagsisimula ang mga problema sa mga maliliit na bagay, tulad ng aircon na hindi na ganoon ka lamig, o ang automatic lock ay hindi ganoon kabilis gumana. Kapag pinaayos naman namin sa pinakamalapit na auto repair shop o pagawaan, naaayos naman… ng panandalian lamang.

Pagdaan ng kaunting panahon, mas-malalang mga problema na ang lumalabas katulad ng hindi na gumaganang aircon at locks, o hindi na umaandar ang makina. Bumabalik nanaman kami sa auto shop para magpagawa ng kotse o bumili ng bagong piesa na gagana ng isang linggo, pero pagkatapos noon IBANG parte naman ng kotse ang masisira.

Minsan nagkakamali din ang mga manggagawa at minsan minamalas lamang, pero may mga oras na hindi nagmumula doon ang problema. Ito ang pagkakamaling kailangan mong iwasan kung ayaw mong mawalan ng customers at malugi ang iyong negosyo (o mawalan ng trabaho).

Avoid This Mistake or Lose Business Forever

Some time ago our family owned a decade old second-hand maroon-colored SUV. Due to how old it was, parts of it frequently break down. Problems often start with something minor, like how the air conditioning isn’t as cool as it should be, or the automatic lock doesn’t respond as fast. When we go and get it repaired at the nearest auto repair shops, the problem gets fixed… for a while.

After a few days or weeks, bigger and bigger problems occur like the air conditioning or automatic locks failing completely, and the engines failing to start. By then we return to the auto shop and pay for repairs and new parts which work for a week, and then OTHER parts of the car start failing after a while.

Mistakes and bad luck does happen, but sometimes the problems aren’t caused by those. This is the biggest mistake that you have to avoid if you don’t want to keep losing customers and eventually lose business (or lose your career).

Support Local! A Quick Stop at the 19th Global Pinoy Bazaar (2017)

by 2 Comments

Every so often I travel to distant provinces to hike in scenic mountains or swim at beautiful beaches. Every time I travel, I make it a point to sample the local goods, like the coconut farmer selling coconut water, the merchant selling trinkets and tools handcrafted by his or her family, and the home-style small restaurant or eatery serving their province’s unique cuisine.

In most areas, there will always be that stray 7-eleven, big name fast food chain, or convenience store chain selling the same old cheap stuff you can find everywhere in the big cities like Manila, but I always remember to prioritize the local family-owned shops and restaurants. Big name stores are out to make a profit. The small businesses, on the other hand, were started by entrepreneurs to support their families AND showcase their unique crafts.

When I heard about the Global Pinoy Bazaar, an event by Yabang Pinoy showcasing unique Filipino-made products, I knew I had to go there and check it out.
