The important thing is not being afraid to take a
chance. Remember, the greatest failure is to not try.
Once you find something you love to do, be the best at
doing it. – Debbi Fields, Mrs. Fields Cookies founder
Is it crazy to talk and dream of business success in
this season of vicious wars between our mostly corrupt
politicians? No! In these politically noisy times,
some leftist troublemakers and rightwing fascists are
mouthing rubbish theories and fantasizing recklessly
of bloody revolution. We must counter these
anti-democracy and anti-progress campaign by igniting
an entrepreneurial revolution throughout the country
that is mass-based, democratic and focused on
encouraging a vibrant people’s capitalism of numerous
micro, small and medium enterprises. Let us frustrate
and shut up the doomsayers who want our society to
self-destruct. Let us defy our politicians’ antics and
aggressively promote entrepreneurship! Spread The
Gospel Of Entrepreneurship And Hope

It is a shameful thing for the soul to faint while the
body still perseveres.i – Marcus Aurelius Antoninus,
Roman Emperor
One of the few exemplars of rugged entrepre-neurship
and prog-ressive capitalism I most admire is Steve
Jobs, the 50-year-old visionary behind Apple which he
co-founded in 1976, and Pixar Animation Studios, the
Oscar Award-winning animation studio which he
co-founded in 1986. For those who are about to give up
on life, business or even on the country due to
perceived hopeless crises, don’t forget the amazing
and inspiring but topsy-turvy life of Steve Jobs. Even
our embattled chief executive President Gloria
Macapagal Arroyo can gain some lessons on survival,
passion and leadership from Steve Jobs.
