Of Money, Failures & Achievements


Any achievement that is worth any appreciation never comes easy.  To those that know about my past would know that I started my first business venture when I was 27. I was cheated by a crooked business partner and that was the end of it. I was a failed business entrepreneur. This is the 12th year that I am doing business for the 2nd time around and over the years, I have work on projects that have achieved tremendous success and made a lot of money. I have also worked on projects that have failed and lost lots of money. 

After so many years, I can tell you that I have never worked harder than what I am doing now. I can also tell you that I have never been more excited to work on a lifelong project that is so meaningful that can make a huge difference for our country, community, our team and most importantly our students. We are just at the kick start of this amazing and awesome journey called PORTMAN College. Stay focus, work hard and be patient with me. Rewards will acknowledge those that endure the challenges and sacrifices that comes with it. Make it meaningful.

Life is about scaling one mountain, then facing the next one, followed by the one after that. Those who persevere and finally succeed in conquering the highest mountain are victors in life. On the other hand, those who avoid such challenges and take the easy route, descending into the valleys, will end in defeat. by Daisaku Ikeda

Agreed and I am proud to say that my boss is the living proof of what Dale Carnegie said, "The successful man will profit from his mistakes and try again in a different way."

Work hard, play hard. The more we give, the more we get. Most importantly, do everything from the heart.

Nothing comes easy.. it takes long hours, persistence, reinvention, never giving up, and the list goes on.
But the most important thing is YOURSELF!..whether you want IT or not.
