It's never too early to teach and learn leadership.

The average supervisor has been managing for 10 years before he gets any training.

If you're not careful, you might find yourself simply going through the motions of life instead of truly living it. The challenge is to be truly present in your most crucial relationships. Don't settle for anything less than authenticity in these core relationships. Thank people more. Encourage them just a little bit more. Extend your patience a tiny bit more. Listen to them a lot more. Love them even more.

We believe we should never give up in trying to improve our country for the next generation. We are trying to make a dent in the next elections by working with candidates to help them draft a workable "Program of Action" based on issues that are current pain points of their constituents.

If we can't reach every voter and teach them how to vote intelligently, we figured we'd experiment with reaching out to candidates that want to serve their people by being issues based, solution oriented and not the old popularity type affairs that we're used to.

We're also working to help old and new candidates get a better feel of the process of finding real solutions for their citizens.

Whether we succeed or not depends on the initiative of the candidates and how committed they are in being truly issues based.

If you're a candidate for 2013, I'd like to invite you to reach out via PM to see how we can work together towards a better and brighter future Philippines for our children and the next generation. Mabuhay!

Are you a multi-tasker? or a serial single tasker that knocks down tasks in rapid succession? Like a Task Switcher.

Have 5-10 minutes to test yourself? Let's go.

1. Try watching a TED video you've never watched before and read a new article in Fortune at the same time.
2. Then close the Video and the the article.
3. Now get a piece of paper and write down everything you recall from BOTH the video and the article.

Research has shown its almost impossible to accomplish 2 cognitive tasks at the same time. ( #7 on the list in the link below) Have a Fun Week ahead!

You can't actually multitask, you're more susceptible to ads when you're sad, and other surprising facts.

This is an amazing story about Free Solo climber Alex Honnold c/o CBSNewsOnline's 60 Minutes. One wrong decision means certain death. Now that's being "Cool Under Pressure". We could learn something from Alex and his story.

Mountain climber Alex Honnold seems to defy gravity, scaling sheer, steep rock faces with no rope and apparently no fear. Lara Logan reports.

Dear friends... I would be grateful if you could consider helping my country and hometown out in the relief operations of the recent Typhoon in the Philippines... as an adopted Mindanaoan (lived and worked there for several years... convinced my in-laws to move there and in fact they still live there...) I would like to ask for your prayers and more concretely your help in bringing much needed relief to the people of CDO and Iligan. Here is how we can help: http://goo.gl/kYZY8
