He is always in the equation but the 1st is not religious at all. The 2nd is.

the problem with the rich is they stay too much in that circle, kaya hayan tinalo sila ng milk tea, the rich s the ones opening Starbucks like busIness wherein you earn P180 for a coffee cup but provide an expensive place where a customer could consumes a P180 cup for 3 hours with free wifi, a powerful aircon and an expensive sofa.

The milk tea shops earn P130 only but provide no aircOn, wifi, kahit isanf silya man lang, tapos pila pa.. in 3 hours milk tea shop get a 100 customers, so 130 x 100 = P13000. But the rich only get 10 customers x P180 = P1800 in 3 hours. And still they argue within themselves that they are rich and classy lol

so ipagmalaki na ng rich yun exclusive circle nila for all I care. It’s just an illusion. Look at golf courses , tgaytay highland rype of clubs as well as expensive hotels, wala naman tao. If there is no tao , there is no energy. If here is no energy, wala ecnomy dun. Pakitang tao lang uun

Millennials and internet generation know this na so they are killing the traditional rich with their phoniness . I think LV, Prada and Fucci have already expressed to seek government help sa France

Just came from a Pisay high school reunion, and had the realization that the best way to get rich is to start off rich.

These batchmates of mine are all brilliant people, but honestly my batchmates from college are better off career-wise than most of them.

After all, if you don't need to worry about your parents' retirement or your siblings' education, if you get your first car, capital for your first business, and possibly even your first property as a gift, if mommy and daddy have friends in high places that can introduce you to the right network - then you're off to a better start than people who just have grit and brains to work with.

laki na ba gastos mo juts hihi, oh well ganyan pn talaga pag bago kasal, now you gonna return the favor dun sa mga friends mo at wife mo na ikakasal pa lang, if you and your wife have like 20-30 weddings to attend x P5000 (minimum standard) per wedding gift, so reserve P150k na for gifts , tapos syenpre iba iba shoes and slacks and barong/suit as well as iba iba gown sa wife mo, that’s the peer pressure adult style.

Tapos meron pa bridal showers, baby showers, bachelors night out, birthdays, baptismal ng mga friends mo na mag aanak na naman as well as first year bongga party

Tapos kung medyo may posisyun ka pa sa company mo, your subordinate gagawin ka pa ninong sa binyag ng anak nya or sponsor

I have experienced that for the first 10 years of my marriage. If I look back now, you know what I hink It”s all a big F’in waste of money. Those friends after 10 years from now regardless if binigyan mo ng expensive gift before, will be a source of stress or negstivity coz gsnun eh, either kaasaran ni misis yun wife or yun guy itself niyayabangan ka

Good luck juts. Thats why puro diesels car ko ngaun and low maintenance hihi.

Lots of things. One I might ask here even.

[dr. d]

I had a College buddy. The father is a postal worker & the mom is a housewife & sells on the side. They lived in a rundown house in a rundown part of Caloocan. The thing is, he is very bright & very very sociable, easy & fun to be with. After school, he worked in sales of a small drug company & was pirated by another local drug distributor. He did so well there that eventually, he became the GM, travels all over the world to meet pharma producers. Given SUVs every 5 years. He now lives in La Vista & has a home in NZ since his kids studied & now works there. It’s a combination of luck, being at the right place at the right time, good decision & great EQ:IQ ratio.
Another friend who works for AMKOR Phl was so good, he was a regional sales head in SEA & goes around SEA 3-4 days of the week. Promoted to Sales head in Asia. After a year, asked to head an office in the US. He goes back to the Phl every weekend then back to US Monday. After a few months, he got tired of it & asked the office if he can just bring his family along. Pumayag naman, so till now, they are in the US.
These guys are normal guys who made their money through hard work, but not by hard work alone. They had the smarts & luck to go with it.

It's like in Star Trek where civilizations that develop warp drive technology get noticed by other advanced civilizations

That's when you're worthy to mingle with them

They don't mingle with primitive civilizations

Ganyan din sa mundo ng mga mayaman

bad things happen when primitives mingle with ex-primitives. ...usually, to the primitives.
primitives have to earn the right to mingle with the ex-primitives, lest they destroy themselves with the very gifts the ex-primitives may shower them with.

"the prime directive."
pa-unang panuntunan.
regla numero uno (honest!).

There will always be outliers. I've also seen my fair share of rags to riches stories - one of which is my closest mentors who fits in the typical probinsyanong mahirap turned business tycoon mold.

But these are outliers, the 0.1%. If you pragmatically look at averages - people from favorable backgrounds tend to start higher and climb faster up the financial success ladder than those from meager means. Talent, grit and education somewhat equalizes the playing field, but only ever so slightly.

I don't count gifts given or received - what matters most to me are the relationships I have with my truest friends.

This is a picture from our wedding, one of the few times when everyone from my high school barkada was present.



Our friendship has lasted for over a decade - and we've gone from clueless teenagers to curious college students to working professionals, with all the ups and downs in between.
It wasn't the gifts they gave that I cherished the most, but their presence. Some of them had to fly halfway around the world to be there, some had to take on 3 consecutive 36-hour residency duties to free up the weekend, some had to miss other big events - all to show their support for us on our most special day.

I hope that you also have that solid set of friends to count on, minicarph. [emoji4]

and guess where the clubhouse is... where they meet potential members...
the university!
some kids of captains of industry are sent to study there, partly because of the exposure to potential classmates-to-be-co-captains of industry in the future.

Reminds me of the course in CRC, EM ata, forgot kasi bata pa ko nung 80s and 90s haha. But men only and the students were mostly wealthy talaga.
