Time and success
“Until you value yourself, you won’t value your time. Until you value your time, you will not do anything with it.” Scott Peck
The importance we put on our time and what we make out of it is directly proportional to the success we want to achieve in life.
That’s why we can see that the most successful people in business, politics, churches and relationships are the same people who make use of their time the most. Not a second is wasted to things that would deviate them to their goals.
Likewise, we need as well to realign our priorities and segregate the important, urgent, and not important.
Time management expert Stephen Covey illustrated it best where he suggested that we divide our activities into four quadrants.
- Important – Urgent
- Important – Not Urgent
- Not Important – Urgent
- Not Important – Not Urgent
In so doing, we can plan our daily, weekly and monthly activities according to its importance. The matrix can also clearly layout the time frame where things needed to be accomplish.
So, for all of us who wants to be successful, we must learn how to manage our time and best use the seconds out of our “very limited” resource of time.

Tripod of an enterprise
This is a principle I learned from an interview with business guru Mr. Andy Ferreria.
In entering into business, one has to consider many things in order that the success rate will be higher. In the words of Mr. Ferreria, he called it “TRIPOD OF AN ENTERPRISE”. In business, there has to be three major legs that will make a business stand on its ground.
1. DEMAND
Is there a demand in the market for you service or product? If not, there’s no use for your business to exist, since no one will avail of it. Or can you make a demand out of it? The market is growing and changing as well. Read the rest of this entry »
