    I remembered one priest in his sermon - saying that the last thing you should take away form people is HOPE.

    Keep them hoping for the Best while expecting the Worse.

    Enthusiasm is another thing - with Hope in tact, nothing Gets done without enthusiasm (as per Confucius).

    But of course Enthusiasm requires some internal motivational factors to keep the fires burning in their eyes and bellies.

    If this is kept up, the only remaining element to really make things going is IMAGINATION (as per Einstein).

    With the 3 elements at hand, Venture Capital will always be nearby.

    But of course, any plan should be bounded by time tables, available raw material sources, resources, usable assets, working capital if any...

    But of course, the best investor for any project will always be no other than the very authors of the concept or idea. Simply because he will not put a pressure upon himself to meet deadlines (which can destroy creativity), since he can only put time and money and materials on the project as they are available.

    During the lull times, he can spend it on other money making (profit generating) activities which are - should be- project- concept related - so he doesn't lose the enthusiasm.

    The danger in putting time on non-related business to fund a hobby project will - one way or another - take away the enthusiasm/ passion on the idea.

    Going back to OFW's....

    The Hopeful OFW - will have a higher probability of really diving into the project is he or she is working in a job which is somewhat related or in any way be a source of ideas that can become contributory to his passion-hobby-project.

    In building a prototype, the best people to really touch it would be - those who are also bought into the idea or the concept.

    The Passion will just automatically come out.

    Of course, all business sense suggest we cannot become like a China or Japan or even India in terms of becoming an Automotive Industrial country... But we can always - easily become similar to a Coventry England, or even a St. Agatha of Italy... if not an East German town building Trabants with outsourced engines from china maybe.



    The point is... somebody or something should point the Pinoy - to the right track or direction so they can do something within their controls and not try to bite off more than they can chew.

    We heard this very often before.... Concentrating on your strengths.... Use your weaknesses or downside as an advantage. Capitalize on strengths and see to it that they don't become the liability.
