Doro Explorero's Quest to Travel Around The World

I woke up in the morning, and did my personal development session with Tony Robbins! Yep, the great Tony! But of course, I'm in my room, I am watching his Five Steps to Take Control of Your Life Now session. And I figured, I could also share this.  Below is the summary of what he said: Capture - get it and put it in one place. Keep it out of your head. Write it down, put it in your iPhone, iPad, scribble it on your notebook or notepad.  Create an RPM Plan ( R esults-focused, P urpose-driven and M assive Action Plan)  What do I really want? (Result) Measure. What is the outcome? Why do I want it? (Purpose) Why for me and why for the team? What is the BIG why? Activity without purpose is the drain to your life. Drain to your wealth. Drain to your lifestyle. What do I need to do?   (Massive Action Plan) Resolve your musts. Which ones are the MUSTs?  Minimum/Maximum Times. Estimate the time you need to complete it. At a minimum time and ma...

The world as you see today, is a world full of mess and negativity. It has been clouted and cluttered by negative energies. It's been set to self-destruct mode, by setting on fire, humanity. And one of the contributors may be you. (Photo credits to  this site. ) If you live your life trying to destroy someone, then you are a contributor! If you live watching other people's move, and find their fault, you are a contributor! If you hide behind the cloak of "kindness" but actually your kindness is just a covering of your guilt, you are a contributor. If you talk to people to destroy someone's reputation, you are a contributor! If you live to encroach someone's power, you are a contributor! If you live to get power and not to serve, you are a contributor! If you live for convenience and not for service, you are a contributor! If you live to use people and is not willing to pay it, you are a contributor! If you have ninety nine bad things to say abo...

Admiral David Farragut, best remembered for his courage at Mobile Bay in 1864, listened as Admiral Samuel Dupont listed the reasons why he failed to get his fleet into Charleston Harbor and win the battle. When Dupont finished his explanation, Admiral Farragut replied, "There is one reason more. You did not believe you could." Everyone knew that Glenn Cunningham would never walk again - everyone, that is, except for Glenn Cunningham and his mother. His legs were badly burned in a schoolroom fire. But Glenn Cunningham walked, ran, and became the world's fastest miler. Glenn Cunningham believed in himself.  Sylvester Stallone was told by over fifty Hollywood producers that he had little ability as a writer. He was told he was wasting his time trying to market his script. But Sylvester Stallone believed in his ability, even thought virtually every producer in Hollywood tried to convince him that there was no hope. The screenplay the producer...

An automobile accident ten days before his high school graduation Shane Vermoort classified as a quadriplegic. A friend was killed in the accident. All of his life, Shane had wanted to be a doctor. But was it still possible for him as a quadriplegic - or was it really the impossible dream? Shane went through a year of rehabilitation and then went to Southern Illinois University, where he received a B.A. in physiology. His goal was medical school, but he was rejected time and again by medical schools all over America. Eventually, he was accepted at the Medical College of Georgia. He excelled in his preparation and received the Clinical Neuroscience Award, was elected president of the Medical Honor Society, and became the first student to graduate from the college in a wheelchair. Shane reflects, "People have a tendency to reflect on what we don't have. If people would just look in the mirror and focus on the good things, they would be a lot better off." ...

To look at him today you would find it difficult to believe that in August, 1974, Clarence Gass awoke unable to breath. However, the forty-one-year-old eventually regained his breath. His breath problem that August night was no mystery. He was going through three and a half packs of cigarettes and twenty-four cans of beer a day. He stopped weighing at the 265-pound mark when he had a forty-three-inch waist. That very morning, after his frightening experience, Clarence Gass got down on his knees and asked God to help him.  He quit drinking and smoking. He began to walk and then jog every night. Before the year was out, he was jogging four to five miles a day. Clarence went from more than 265 pounds to 150 pounds. His blood pressure dropped from 150 over 100 to 120 over 72. He has now run in ten marathons.  According to Gass, "It takes more courage than you can imagine for a fat person to get out and run in front of other people. It's a slow process and you must be...

This is the last part of the secret of the successful series of blog posts. What does the " E " in IMAGE mean. Discover the completion of success tips! Sadly, a topic a lot of businesspeople seem to have forgotten in these fast-paced and topsy-turvy business times. Too many cut corners. They go for the cash grab. They think only about themselves. Whatever happened to good manners, excellent ethics, and remembering that doing good business is actually very good for business?  You will never go wrong in doing what is right, my friend. Nothing's more important than being honest, highly dependable, staying on time, and treating people the way we want to be treated. "How well you make your sheets determines how well you'll sleep in your bed." I took that to mean that the way we do anything is the way we'll do everything. And even one breach against our ethics will pollute everything we touch. Nothing is more precious in work than stayi...

This is a continuation of what I shared about the Tips of the Great Men of being Successful. The secret is contained in the acronym IMAGE. What is the "G" in image? The "G" simply stands for the need to have the GUTS in business.  You need no title to be a leader, but you do need to have huge toughness and big guts. To lead, you will have to be unrealistically persistent and wildly courageous. You'll need to dare more than the reasonable person and risk more than the ordinary man. That's not as hard as it might sound. Every one of us has at our core well of courage just begging to be tapped. We all want to be superheroes in some form or another and have the capacity of character to keep going when everyone around us is ready to give up. You see, success truly is a numbers game. And those that become the best and brightest leaders in their work are those that develop the mind-set of failure not being an option. Too many people throw in the towel...

I am happy to have stumbled upon a great learning from the book I've been reading recently. And these I will be sharing to you are the idea of the author. I was just amazed at his concepts and principles at winning in life. For the next few post starting this one, I will be sharing to you the concept with an acronym - IMAGE! I.M.A.G.E! "I" is for INNOVATION! Innovation always trumps repeating what might have worked in the past. Doing what worked even a year or two ago amid the terrifically unpredictable conditions under which we now do business is a good way to get into some bad trouble. Customers and all the people around you want fresh value and novel forms of excellence - not a repackaging of old goods.  YOU NEED SOME STRETCHING! You need to constantly flex your mind and elevate your abilities by consistently asking themselves 'What can I improve today?' You have to deeply hold a commitment to making everything you touch better than you ...

You've heard the statement many times that this is a young person's world - and a quick check of the history books rapidly establishes that this statement has considerable validity. For example, Lindberg at age twenty-five was the first man to fly nonstop over the Atlantic Ocean to Paris; John Paul Jones was a full sea captain at twenty-two; Napoleon was an artillery captain before he was twenty-three; Edgar Allen Poe was internationally known as a poet at eighteen; Tracy Austin won the U.S. Open Tennis Championship at age sixteen; Alexander the Great had conquered the known world at twenty-six; Eli Whitney was twenty-eight when he perfected the cotton gin. We also frequently see stories of child prodigies who at age five are solving mathematical equations that confound college professors. The list is truly endless of all the people who've done remarkable things before their thirtieth birthday. This obviously proves that it is a young person's world. Or does it? I...

I've wrote something about capabilities last time, I wrote a story here . I said on that post you should use those capacities you have. Now let's move on to the very next topic. Impossibility! I am continuously amazed at the abilities of athletes who run faster, jump higher, and execute feats of physical skill with greater precision every year. Every day we read about a young athlete who cracks a barrier. The most common athletic barrier was the four-minute mile. Experts believed for many years that it was impossible for a human being to run a mile under four minutes. but in 1954, a man named Roger Bannister ran the mile in less than four minutes. Today, high school athletes and a thirty-seven-year-old man have accomplished that remarkable feat. There was a time when experts believed a twenty-eight-foot long jump was physically impossible, but Bob Beamon pulled off one of the most incredible athletic achievements of our time when he went right on past the twenty-e...

One of the most powerful ingredients for developing staying power, or the ability to get back in the game and stay there, is stubbornness. That's right. You can be stubborn in a right way. (see sample here. ) I guess you could call it endurance, but I like to call it stubbornness. Of course, you can be stubborn in the wrong way, too. That could be termed being stiff-necked or obstinate. But that's not what I am talking about. Stubborn obedience to the call of God on my life helps me get through the gauntlet of critics and survive the nagging memories of past mistakes. I know God has called me to represent Him during my stay in this world. (He has called you to do the same!) Come what may, I must finish the course. I must run the race with endurance - stubborn endurance, mind you - until He takes me home to be with Him forever. I guess we're pretty good company, because it was prophesied of Jesus that He would stay the course, too, no matter what came His way. ...

I have been thinking of writing about our quick trip to Oslob, Cebu for the Whale Shark Watching. Only had the time now. So here it is. Oslob Whale Shark Watching Adventure!  Well, it's on my list of things I wanted to do, so I decided to go even with the limited time that I have for the trip. I was initially invited by my friend, but I declined given the flight I have booked to return to the city is on the same day. And it's midday! My flight is set at 1:15 P.M. But, with much prodding (naks, kala mo naman pinilit talaga), I decided to go, because I will be with people who have booked the same flight, and have the guts to go there. The estimated time from Lahug, Cebu City is 3 hours.  I was told we can travel the night before the whale shark watching, that was a Saturday. And then at 5:30 in the morning, we will have the whale shark encounter then go back to the City. So we will have time. But we decided to cut costs. So we stayed at the hotel, which was already...

The door to opportunity swings on the hinges of opposition. Caleb Colton said, "Times of general calamity and confusion have ever been productive of the greatest minds. The purest ore is produced from the hottest furnace, and the brightest thunderbolt is the one elicited from the darkest storm." Problems are the price of progress. The obstacles of life are intended to make us better, not bitter. Obstacles are merely a call to strengthen your resolve to achieve worthwhile goals. Bob Harrison says, "Between you and anything significant will be giants in your path." Oral Roberts reflects, "You cannot bring about renewal or change without confrontation." The truth is, if you like things easy, you will have difficulties. If you like problems, you will succeed. If you have a dream without aggravations, you don't really have a dream. Have the attitude of Louisa May Alcott: "I am not afraid of storms for I am learning how to sail my ship....

I was browsing on facebook when I saw this video that made me laugh, and thought that FUN is not limited to the young people. Having fun is really a choice. These videos would prove that age is just a number! :-) Play jumping rope! It's a lot of fun! Or you can even dance to the music like this lady right here. Or run a race like this. :-) Or even do extreme sports like this. :-) I hope this reminded you that life is meant to be enjoyed. Have some fun! Spend it on things that would take your breath away out of fun and enjoyment! Welcome the positive energies into your body and and continue to be awesome! :-)
