Life in the Philippines
Earthquake
The major news this week is the Earthquake east of the island of Samar, which created a tsunami warning. I know the Island well having taken part in an adventure race there many years ago. Thankfully no waves occurred but many houses were damaged because they were build on stilts. P11.8 million in damage was caused to to public and private infrastructure including 5 bridges and roads.
The Philippines is prone to natural disasters being in the path of many Typhoons and with a major earth quake fault a few hundred mines to the east. I was thinking of living in Samar but the risk is two great even though it is a beautiful island. In Dipolog city where I live the house shock for about 8 seconds causing light fittings and plant to sway but no damage.
We have had four power cuts this week caused by winds, which brought down power lines, why they use wooden posts beats me, with termites and tropical wood rot, combines with hanging too much spaghetti to the lines. this is not good when operating an online business.
Speaking of my business working with Billionaire Ed Mercer on his quest to create 100 new millionaires Guinness World Record. I glean a little more information on what is needed to be successful
Millionaires share lots of information with each other, but have some traits, they work hard and play hard and are committed to what they do, be it helping others or setting up charities, I have not met one yet that has created serious wealth just for the sake of having a big house and car etc. They all receive many begging letters, but no-one has enough wealth to put everything to right. Giving handouts rarely improves someone life, but helping them think and act differently and pointing them in the right direction can reap dividends.
A person receives few opportunities in a lifetime but you can bet your life that someone who wants to be wealthy will grab everyone of them, which is why they get ahead. By working with ED you can get ahead and create serious wealth.
