The Muhammad Yunus


Hearing the usual conversation at the day to day lives at my Office and from the words from people at Politics we met...there is only to hear so much of selfishness...

How to outsmart the Government, How to gain the position next year,How to maintain the position and outsmart the rivals and what are the other loop holes to move things to gain the most...


I am reading the Book of the Nobel prize winner for peace 2006 Creating A World Without Poverty by MUHAMMAD YUNUS.

Its all about helping the poor, His new system of social business is a real deviation to the system of a capitalistic business model. His fight against the norm of importance of woman on the economy. I am inspired by the stories written in this book. The great effect of Grameen Bank which allow the poor and the poorest of the poor to borrow. The system for me was so simple that it creates complication to what I am informed banking and business was. Businesses that is owned and run by poor people....
This system developed by Prof. YUNUS is giving not just fish to its people but giving them the system and the HOW TO give themselves fishes.
My plan is to be one of those who will study from his system and brought it here.
I know it will come...

Another Sulpicio

And why do Sulpicio Lines have to Close its doors to the complains of the relatives of those who died from its wreckage?

Maybe its another big question...

A Shipping Company that can only break its own record from its accidents and the most number of deaths!

Everyday another body is discovered...
Families that are buried in so much burden...

Seeking for some refuge, In complete denial and continuously begging for more miracle...

As said by its lawyer "I was never the fault of Sulpicio its An Act of God!"
Well, is it really an act of God? Why?

How can we do things with so much negligence on our part that when Accidents happened or when things occur out of our plans. We tend to make God an excuse!?
We create an excellent or foolish excuse of creating a good escape goat!
How can we do this?
How can we Point our finger to something that we don't understand, just to protect ourselves from the condemnation of others?
To what extent will it goes?

What Lessons can we get from this event?
Is it for the Sulpicio?
Or for the Filipinos as a Whole?

May be it is another Reminder for us...
That HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF!!!
It will always repeat itself as long as We never learned its Lessons...

That those who never receives the lessons of History are bound to repeat it...
again and again.

the corrupt system

Back in College I am very vocal against corruption.
I and most of the people I associated were in the same level of opposition...
It was the usual topic of the time...

But now in the world outside College, there were a lot of things about corruption that is being presented on my very eyes...
How badly things had been today!
The System had been so strong and deeply embedded in some of our government agencies.
The people behind the System had been very well equipped and well fed to continue its life.

How can this be change?
I doubt if there are any solution to end this.
It was so strong and powerful that all those who go against it are doomed!
There were Career,Positions,Businesses and even life that had been lost and are currently at stake.

I am a very optimistic person and still Hope for a better less corrupt World.
But, it seems that there are no way out...
The older ones that mastered its craft have enough influence to lure and trap the younger ones to do the same!
It is an Epidemic.

It range from a small time operation to a large scale country wide or even world wide network.
We may never know...But, it is a real possibility...

At the end we were left with limited choices...
To be a part of the system?
To go against it?
To completely burry it in apathy?

Success has a good enough relation in choosing on these choices.

To thrive in this country,
Control Power,
Create Wealth,
and mentain Riches.
This is one thing you have to create a good Deal of Strategy...
