Ang Totoong Dahilan Bakit WALANG IPON ang Karamihan sa OFW

Sa halos lahat ng na-attendan namin about OFW or financial literacy seminars, kapag ang speaker ay magtatanong kung may naipon na ba kami ang malakas na laging sagot ay "OO! RESIBO!", tapos yun ay siguradong susundan ng tawanan.

Pero after ng masayang hagikgikan, talaga bang nakangiti ka pa din pag nakikita mo na ang utang na imbes na nababayaran ay lalong nagpapatong-patong, anytime ba na mawalan ka ng trabaho ay handa ka at mga kamag-anak mo na uuwi ka na?


Sa mga nabasa namin at narinig naming kwento ng mga OFW na tulad ko, ito ang tatlong (3) dahilan bakit imbes na maka-ahon financially eh lalong nababaon:

1. Maling Pag-iisip ~ “Maliit lang sahod ko, paano pa ako makakaipon?”... Maling pag-iisip ito. Bakit? Marami rin malaki ang sahod na tulad mong baon sa utang. Kung totoong maliit na sahod ang dahilan, sana wala ng naka-angat sa buhay na mahirap.

“Ano ba naman ang Php1,000 buwan-buwan? Walang magagawa yung halaga na yun sa kinabukan ko!” MALING PAG-IISIP na naman yan. Isipin nyo na lang kung maka-ipon kayo nun buwan-buwan at nilagay mo sa tamang investment vehicle, pwedeng kumita ka ng Php20,000 mahigit sa loob ng limang taon. San mo mapupulot yung ganun na halaga?

Huwag maliitin ang sahod at ang magagawa ng maliit na perang maitatabi. Tandaan, Beware of little expenses. A small leak will sink a great ship. Ganun din sa pag-iimpok, baligtarin mo. Ang kaibahan nyan, ang Maliit na ipon ay makakapagpatayo ng malaking barko. Kuha nyo?

2. Disiplina ~ Di natin makaya na disiplinahin ang sarili at mga naiwan natin sa Pinas. Lagi mong iisipin ang totoong dahilan bakit ka nangibang bayan. At yun ang unahin mong atupagin na matupad. Disiplinahin mo ang sarili mo na mag-impok hindi lang para sayo pati sa pamilya mo.

Tandaan mo kapatid na OFW ikaw ang unang-una papasok sa isip ng mga tao sa Pinas sa panahon ng pangangailangan. Gusto mo ba na ang pang-ospital sa pamilya mo eh ipagmamaka-awa mo sa mga kamag-anak mo na nasa Pinas?

3. Yabang ~ May nabasa kaming kwento; ang asawa na naiwan sa Pinas, kumuha ng sangkatutak na loan. Loan ng bahay, loan ng kotse, panay ang kaskas ng credit card at mga bagong devices. Kitang-kita na ang pag-asenso nila ng madaming tao, pero isang araw natanggal ang asawang seaman sa trabaho. Sa tingin mo san sila kukuha ng pangtustos sa mga kinuha nila na hulugan? It is either uutang or bebenta ng palugi ang mga ari-arian.

Turuan natin ang sarili natin sa pag-gastos sa abroad at lalong-lao na ng mga naiwan natin sa Pinas. Huwang natin isipin na mababayaran ng mga gadgets na papadala mo ang oras na wala mo sa piling ng mga anak o asawa mo.

Huwag makipag-kumpetensya sa kapitbahay. Hindi porket bumili sya ng 60-inch na tv eh dapat meron din ang pamilya mo. Huwag na huwag makipag-sabayan kung hindi talaga kaya.


Sana makatulong ang blogpost na ito para maharap ng mga OFW ang katotohan (masakit man) na madami sa atin ay merong MALING PAG-IISIP, WALANG DISIPLINA at NUKNUKAN NG YABANG. Di ako magpapa-sintabi kasi gusto ko talaga kayong matamaan at magising. Nasa sa inyo na nga lang kung tatangapin nyo ito in positive or negative way.

What is (ETH) Ethereum?

So. Now. We need to talk about the number one competitor of bitcoin. The ETHEREUM.

News Flash! Ether, which is represented by Ethereum is not a cryptocurrency. Yes! It is not a currency that you can use to buy coffee at your favorite cafe or staffs online. It is not use as money or medium of exchange. It is a "gas" (as described by Vitalik).

Ethereum is an "upgraded" blockchain of Bitcoin. They were equipped with Smart Contract.

So what is this Smart Contract? It is an execution and automation of "ifs or trigger". For example, every month you need to pay mortgage of your home, Ethereum blockchain can be set up automatically and will deduct money from your account monthly. And to execute that, you need "gas" which we called ETHER.

Bitcoin will be used by people as a currency. And imagine how big will be the demand for ETH if all in Enterprise Ehthereum Alliance (EEA) deploys its projects. More projects means more smart contract means more gas (ETH) they need.

Below are the big companies who are members of Enterprise Ethereum Alliance.

Below is the blockchain tech that central banks of the world are working on. Ethereum toppled down Bitcoin because of Smart Contract.

Big companies and governments are now challenging the Ethereum technology and Vitalik's team do not waste time to upgrade and cater the needs of those companies.

Oh one more thing! You see so many ICOs coming out. Right? Most of their platforms uses Ethereum. And some of those coins are not available worldwide, so why fret and be depressed? Buy the platform they are using. This is a tip! Yes you are welcome!

Do not be late in this big wave of change.


Note: Virtual currencies are very volatile. Study before invest. 
Invest at your own risk.

LEVERAGE - Why this word IMPORTANT to SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE

I won’t discuss here the differences between rich and poor people that maybe you heard million times with other financial literacy talks and read on your social media sites. In here, I will talk about on where the rich people uses the word LEVERAGE. 


Let’s get to the point: 
1. TIME - We all have 24 hours in a day but why majority asked themselves why others seem to accomplished many things and why they don’t. Successful people know how to manage their time and priorities. They know the limited time they have in every single day, so they leverage on other people’s time. They knew how valuable their time is and that is the main reason they wisely delegate tasks to the people they hire. They carefully chooses, trains and trusts the people under their wings. They are not wired to micro-manage their business but they are equipped to expand their ventures. 

Time is a very expensive commodity. No one can buy time to have it back or to have more. 

2. TALENT - Ultra successful people admit to the themselves that they DO NOT KNOW EVERYTHING and that is the primary cause why they hire people who is wiser, skillful and more experienced than them. 

They leverage other people's talent for the benefit of their companies. They trained themselves to listen to new ideas and suggestions. They are willing to spend huge amount of money just to get the best talents. 

3. MONEY - You will not see successful people on the streets selling their ideas. Investors come to them and demands to take their money and be their partner. They are so well-known to be trusted about money of others and on that, they know how to expand or make their ideas work through other peoples’ money. Oh, and one more thing, if banks phones you offering you a loan, sending you a credit card without credit limit or sending you blank cheque... CELEBRATE! The bank is seeing something in your bank account that most of the people don’t have. 

Build a reputation that everyone will trust and make business with you. TRUST and REPUTATION are the main ingredients for you to maximize the power of other people’s money. A small talk of negativity will risk all the foundation you constructed. Be very careful not to mire the trust of your investors.  

4. SYSTEM - Whenever you set foot at McDonalds or Starbucks ordinary people will see the products but goal oriented people see the SYSTEM behind every successful businesses. And that is why, the franchise was born. We all know that McDonalds do not serve the best burger in the world but why people love them? It is the marketing, the development of their products and quality of staff’s services. It means, the system. Rich people invest on system, people, vision and not entirely on the PRODUCT. 

Franchising is the most effective way to join the company’s achievements. Multi-level marketing too. Why compete with the giants? Join the giants! It saves your time, your energy and the success rate is high. 

Or if you think you are better than them, innovate their system. 🙂 

Hope these four enlightens you as you go through your life and make the most of these things that you need to LEVERAGE. Start step by step. And you will prove that it will fast track to reach your goal. 🙂
