One day a farmer’s donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours asthe farmer tried to figure out what to do.

Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway; it just wasn’t worth it to retrieve the donkey.

He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone’s amazement he quieted down.

A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well. He was astonished at what he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up.

As the farmer’s neighbors continued to shovel

The Story Of Maricel Apatan

I’m going to tell you a true story of a young woman who went through a most gruesome fire. When you read her story, you’ll realize that your trials are absolutely nothing compared to what this young girl went through.

It was September 25, 2000.

Maricel Apatan was an 11-year old girl in Zamboanga.

On that day, this little girl went with her uncle to draw water.

Along the way, four men met them. They were carrying long knives. They told her uncle to face down on the ground. And they hacked him on the neck and killed him.

Maricel was in total shock. Especially that the men were their neighbors. She tried to escape, but the men ran after her.

She cried, “Kuya, ‘wag po, ‘wag n’yo akong tagain! Maawa po kayo sa akin!” (“Don’t kill me! Have mercy on me!”)

But they weren’t

Joyce Ann Burton a.k.a “blogging beauty queen” began her career as a model at age 14. Although she was young, she was tall enough (5’9″) for the catwalk. It was fashion designer Renee Salud who discovered her after she backed out of a Regal Films offer to become a Regal Baby.

After one year of modeling, attending events and dance classes, Renee Salud sponsored Joyce in her first beauty pageant: Miss Young Philippines 1981 which she won. Four years later, Renee once again sponsored Joyce for her second beauty pageant – Bb. Pilipinas Universe 1985 which she also won.

But life wasn’t easy for Joyce even if she had won the most prestigious beauty title in the land. After she returned from the Miss Universe beauty pageant she left home after a big disagreement with her family.

On her own, with no one to guide her, Joyce’s life went awry. She had a

By just following these simple tips, you can help improve your mind’s ability to think more positively. When you learn how to get negative thoughts out of your mind and replace them with positive thoughts, you open your mind up to allow the Law of attraction to work for you.

1. Have a genuine love for yourself. You cannot expect other people to like you if you do not first love yourself. Take time each day to write down things that you do that you are good at. Let yourself feel good that you have talents and abilities. Tell yourself every day that you are
happy with yourself and that you love yourself.

2. Hang around with positive, happy people. It is much easier to stay positive if you stay away from people who are always negative. If almost everyone in your life is negative, then find new friends. It

This is now the formal start of my financial planning guide lessons. Since in our previous series of steps (for those who are new in my blog please click here and follow each step) we already talked about the necessary steps to take before actually planning your financial life.

You already have a dream life, a financial goal, and now it is time for the “apply lessons-fail-plan again-repeat until successful” part of financial planning.

Now let’s talk about the three most common reasons why many people are poor.

1. Because most people do not really want to be rich.

Yup, you heard me right! We really do not want to be rich. I know many of you would react and say, “I have never heard a person say that he does not want to be rich”. In fact if I ask you right now if you want to be financial free and be wealthy?

I am Maria Corazon Jurado Rodriguez, 42 years old, born in Catmon, Cebu on June 26, 1967. My family and friends fondly call me “Chona” (a nickname very far from my true name). I am a graduate of Bachelor of Science in Electronics and Communications Engineering at University of San Carlos Batch 1988.

I have one brother and 4 sisters all of whom were happily married and blessed with children. My father is a retired Mechanical Engineer and my mother is a retired government employee (Comelec clerk). They are now running a foundation school owned by my grandfather (father’s side).

We may have a very simple life but we’re not spared from the intrigues and mediocre of other people which somehow affected me and my siblings up to this day. Nevertheless, it inspires us to strive more and finished our studies with the help of our aunties and uncles who supports us
