I was invited a few weeks ago to give a motivational talk to a batch of graduating entrepreneurial college students from San Beda (mostly seniors and juniors). I immediately accepted this talk because one of my passions is really to reach out and teach the next generation. I don’t see myself entering the academe anytime soon but maybe sometime in the future when I’m more financially secure already (haha). Anyway, this talk was special to me because I decided to use my late grandfather’s commencement speech as my material. It’s called the “7 Keys to Success” by...

I’ll be giving a talk this Saturday, February 20, 2010, at the Ateneo De Manila for AISEC’s Empowering Youth Entrepreneurship Seminar 2010. As most of you know I studied for 16 years in the Ateneo so I always make it a point to accept any speaking engagements that I get from that school. It’s always an honor to give back to the institution which played a critical role in molding my character and skills. My only worry right now is that I have a cold, haha. Hopefully I can get better so that I won’t have to keep on sneezing while giving my presentation. The topic will be “Talking...

The first one is already tomorrow at the Eulogio “Amang” Rodriguez Institute of Science and Technology in Cavite. Details after the break. They requested me to speak for 3 hours but that’s kinda too much given the topic so I’ll...
