I spent my late evening yesternight reading “Entrepreneur” Magazine’s ( http://entrepreneur.com.ph ) Collector’s Edition “Success Secrets of the Country’s Top 50 Entrepreneurs”. (It is upon Marc’s insistence that i purchase this mag). I scanned the pages and decided to read page 150 onwards.

It features the interviews with Taipans John Gokongwei, Jr., Henry Sy, Sr., Dr. Lucio Tan, Andrew Tan, and Ben Chan. Their stories are all very inspiring, and one obvious denominator they have is that they’re all Chinese. How come the richest men in our country aren’t Filipinos?

They stated some Golden Rules, attributes they strongly have and seriously lived by… I would like to state TWO Common words they used to describe their key ingredients to success:

1.HARD WORK… and

2. FRUGALITY…

and varied attidudes to where they attribute their success were Integrity, Discipline, Never Quiting, Creativity, and Vision.

Does it mean that Filipinos don’t have as much of the above to be among the similar Success Roll?

In the same magazine was featured a lot of Successful Filipinos too, which is awesome. It’s time that each of us consider becoming entrepreneurs, and begin harnessing our talents, skills and embrace similar attidudes the Taipans have.

Frugality? Does most Filipinos know what this really means? Hard Work is not a question, how about discipline and never quiting?

Well…to all who want to be at the TOP, we now know the “must haves”.
