Because Ideas Change Lives
“No man is rich whose expenditure exceeds his means; and no one is poor whose incomings exceed his outgoings.” – Thomas Chandler Haliburton
Last Sunday I went to the SM Aura, Market Market, and Bonifacio High Street area to buy a ceramic non-stick frying pan for my family. While shopping, I thought of the things I wanted to buy for myself. That was when I learned the lesson here.
“Think you are weak, think you lack what it takes, think you will lose, think you are second class – think this way and you are doomed to mediocrity.” – David J. Schwartz, The Magic of Thinking Big
(Isipin mong mahina ka, na ika’y may pagkukulang, na ika’y matatalo, na ika’y second class lamang – mag-isip kang ganito at ikaw ay isusumpa sa pagiging mababang uri ng tao.)
Mga dalawang linggo na ang nakalipas, inimbita ako ng kaibigan ko sa Ninja Academy sa Las Pinas para magpractice ng parkour. Kung hindi mo alam kung ano iyon, isipin mo kung paano tumatakbo ang mga tao para umiwas sa mga obstacles o hadlang sa mga action movies. Panoorin mo saglit itong video na ito para malaman mo kung ano ang itsura noon:
Hindi lang astig na kakayahan, marami ka ring ibang matututunan sa parkour (at ibang sports) kapag ikaw ay nag-isip ng mabuti. Ito ang ilan sa mga aral na matututunan mo mula sa ilang oras ng pagsasanay:

A couple of weeks ago my friend invited me to Ninja Academy in Las Pinas to practice parkour. If you don’t know what that is yet, imagine how people run through obstacles in action movies. Just play this video a bit to see what it’s like:
More than just some cool new tricks, you can learn a lot more from parkour (and other sports) if you pay close attention. These are the some of the lessons you can learn from a few hours of training:
“Debt is like any other trap, easy enough to get into, but hard enough to get out of.” – Josh Billings
(Ang utang ay katulad ng ibang patibong, madaling pasukin, pero mahirap umalis.)
Isang hakbang palusong, dalawang paurong. Isipin mo man na ok lang manghiram ng pera at lubusang gamitin ang credit cards, hindi ito totoo. Parang hindi ito masama sa simula, hanggang mangutang kang uli, at mangutang pa, at mangutang ng paulit-ulit hanggang nabaon ka na ng isang bundok ng utang. Kapag nawiwili kang gumastos ng sobra sobra at mangutang ng pera, alalahanin mo lang ang tatlong dahilan kung bakit dapat umiwas sa luho at sa masamang utang.

One step forward, two steps back. You might think that borrowing money and maxing out your credit cards is fine, but it’s not. It seems harmless at first, until you borrow again, and again, and again, and suddenly you’ve accumulated a mountain of debt. Whenever you’re tempted to overspend and borrow money, just remember these three reasons on why you should just skip unnecessary purchases and avoid bad debts.
