This will be my fourth time to speak in this wonderful city.\n\nKuala Lumpur otherwise known as KL, is something that I\'m almost familiar with. It\'s of course not as complicated as Vietnam in terms of roads and transport system. I think Malaysians are also better English language speakers. During my inspiration speech at the Asia Publishing Convention in Ho Chi Minh City, I found it really hard to speak to people over there.\n\nThis is also my first time to travel from Clark airport. It took me more or less two hours bus ride from Manila to Clark, Pampanga. If you\'re flying via Air Asia or Tiger Airways, there\'s a Philtranco Bus Terminal at the back of Megamall Building A. It\'s 300 pesos one ride.\n\nDiosdado Macapagal Internatioinal Airport is a wifi-enabled airport, which is better than Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 2. Down there, I was vale to surf the web, which was pretty cool especially that I\'m using my iPad.\n\nI never had a problem until I approached the immigration officer. He asked me on my itineraries and I gladly told him the purpose of my travel. I told him that I will speak in a seminar there but he still wanted me to prove it so he asked for the invitation.\n\nGood thing about having an iPad, that is if there\'s a wifi connection, is you can actually retrieve some documents. I let the officer see it on my iPad. He seemed insecure or perhaps even bothered that he told me in a sarcastic voice \"to have it printed next time.\"\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_2786\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"225\" caption=\"Motivational Speaker Lloyd Luna: View from Grand Millennium Hotel in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia\"]<a href=\"http://www.lloydluna.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/IMG_7959.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-2786\" title=\"Lloyd Luna Motivational Speaker in Kuala Lumpur\" src=\"http://www.lloydluna.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/IMG_7959-e1281104398261-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Lloyd Luna Motivational Speaker in Kuala Lumpur\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" /></a>[/caption]\n\nI said ok. I also told him that he is more strict than Manila immigration. Alright, seems he was having a bad hair day so I leave him at that. I took my breakfast while watching Larry King Live video podcast.\n\nThe business seminar\n\nI\'m going to speak during at a business seminar entitled Guerilla Entrepreneurship. I\'m a very happy to be invited to join a remarkable set of international speakers that the organizers gathered for this conference.\n\nI will be speaking on starting up a business with with a very little or no financial capital but instead using a personal brand. I will be citing my own business success story as I cite some other case studies to reinforce and convince my audience that you can actually start something big from something small.\n\nMy company is actually in the personal development industry.

Take note of these essentials and make sure to feel its message.\n\nAge.\nBusiness is not about the age. While many people would still try to say, “age does matter” in case youʼre starting a business or attempting to run one, there are many instances that tells us itʼs only absurd to hang on to that old belief. People who make a big deal about “age” may not understand that age is simply a number—nothing more and nothing less. So what if youʼre only in junior high or have failed to take college education. So what if youʼre already a retired employee. Does it have anything to do with your quest to entrepreneurship?\n\nThe answer is no. Hereʼs why.\n\nPeople believe that, “Experience goes with age.” I donʼt think so. I think experience and age donʼt exactly go together. Look around you and I guarantee you, youʼre going to see people in their 50s and yet they still donʼt gain necassary experience to create a better quality of life. Look around some more and youʼre going to see people in their 20s and theyʼre already making something work.\n\nIn business, age doesnʼt matter. Itʼs only a “common belief” that we will have to grow old so we can gain some wisdom. Oppps. Not always true. There are many gray-haired people out there who never gotten any wisdom at all. And hey, look for some young people in your neighborhood and viola, they seem to gain some wisdom from somewhere.\n\nHow old is the founder of Facebook? How old was the founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken? I rest my case.\n\nConnection.\nIf youʼve heard of this: Itʼs not what you know; itʼs who you know. Iʼm afraid youʼre trying to believe in something that donʼt work. Connection for me means something else. Itʼs not what you know. Itʼs not who you know. Itʼs who knows you.\n\nNow, thereʼs a big difference between “who you know” and “who knows you.” When you know some business leaders older than you are, it doesnʼt count and therefore itʼs irrelevant. There may be a million of people more who know who you know. And itʼs not really a noteworthy idea to be proud about it.\n\nI know Donald Trump. But does The Donald know me? No. But if Trump so happened to know me, can I make a deal (regardless of my age)? The answer is yes.\n\nConnection is important. But it must be put in a proper perspective. Donʼt be comfortable knowing people. It can be a good start to know things about these business leaders who are in the position and inﬂuence. But the second great challenge is how they will know things about you. If they know you, then thatʼs the only time you can present or prescribe something.\n\nFamily and Education Background\nDonʼt get overwhelmed by these Masterʼs or Doctorʼs degree. If you came from a rich and well-established family, you cannot be comfortable either. What you take in college or your social status has a very little to do with business.\n\nWhile I donʼt fully discount that they can help you create a better leverage with the people you talk to every day of your life, I think education and family background do well if youʼre an employee.\n\nIʼve discovered that most entrepreneurs are those C and D students. Their employees are those A and B. Why is this so?\n\nC and D students have nothing to lose because they never had anything in the ﬁrst place.\n\nOn the other hand, A and B students were able to build a reputation and they simply canʼt afford to commit any mistake in their life so they settle for what is “safe”—therefore they work as employees.\n\nDonʼt make a big deal out of your education and family. Iʼm sure when you start looking at the biography of the worldʼs most successful people, youʼre going to ﬁd out that they donʼt make a huge issue about their degree or family background. At the end of the they, people will do business with you not because of what you ﬁnished in college or who your parents are but because of your contribute to them.\n\nSo those are the three thoughts that every aspiring entrepreneurs should know and understand.

It’s because everything that you are becoming every day, everything that you do every moment of your working hours, and probably everything that you think about most of the time, has everything to do with your life as a whole.\r\n\r\nSimply put, even if that question sounds seemingly easy, it’s a powerful key to finally putting to rest every agony, sorrow, and disappointment you have inside you that probably makes you hate either your job or your boss.\r\n\r\nWhen you get to answer that question with a “yes” or a “no,” let me ask you this follow-up question: “Why are you working?”\r\n\r\nSeemingly, that’s an easy question, too. When I ran a short survey on Facebook, in fact, there was no question at all about the answers. It was all about money, livelihood, satisfaction, the absence of choice, fate, and many more. The sentiments were all the same. In sum, we all work for either money or fulfillment or for a combination of both.\r\n\r\nBut of course, one other fact has remained the same as it was thousands of years ago: We all need to work. Even company owners need to work. More often than not, they even work three or four times harder than their employees. Your bosses will need to work, too. Students will need to study. Parents will need to parent their children.\r\n\r\nEverybody will need to move and do something for as long as they live. Is it a punishment by God that when a certain Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit, we all have ended up having to labor to live?\r\n\r\nWell, whether the story is true or not and whatever the answer to that question, the fact is we are all working and we will need to continue to do so to live.\r\n\r\nThis is why I wrote this book. If we don’t have any option but to work for a living, how should we look at our work? If there’s nothing else we can do but to work for a living, how should we respond to this reality? If we could never ever escape a “working” life, then how should we position ourselves in the workplace?\r\n\r\n<center><form action=\"https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr\" method=\"post\">\r\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"cmd\" value=\"_s-xclick\">\r\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"hosted_button_id\" value=\"V9SFVZVQTK2VY\">\r\n<table>\r\n<tr><td><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"on0\" value=\"Delivery Charges\"><center><strong>Book Price + Delivery Charge</strong></center></td></tr><tr><td><select name=\"os0\">\r\n	<option value=\"Pick Up\">Pick Up $15.00</option>\r\n	<option value=\"Within Metro Manila\">Within Metro Manila $17.00</option>\r\n	<option value=\"Within the Philippines\">Within the Philippines $20.00</option>\r\n</select> </td></tr>\r\n</table>\r\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"currency_code\" value=\"USD\">\r\n<input type=\"image\" src=\"http://www.lloydluna.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/btn_buynowCC_LG_global.gif\" border=\"0\" name=\"submit\" alt=\"PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online.\">\r\n<img alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http://www.lloydluna.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/pixel.gif\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\">\r\n</form></center>\r\n\r\n\r\nOur goal here is to understand the real meaning of what we do so we can liberate ourselves from anxiety, from pain, and from frustration due to our poor understanding of our job or of our work. Without expanding our thinking on this very important matter, our limited knowledge can do us more harm than good.\r\n\r\nThis is why some people get sick. It’s not only because of the polluted air or water. It’s also because of our polluted working environment and polluted mindsets. Imagine some people seeing the person they hate every day and trying to figure out how that person might be fired from the company or praying that soon that person will quit his or her job. And what about corporate politics; hasn’t it been there for centuries? We can take the case, too, of an ugly working relationship between the boss and the employees or of a turf war among company workers.\r\n\r\nThe thing is that the way we deal with every issue will define the way we will live our lives at work and at home. And whoever told you that you can separate your work life from your personal life is totally mistaken. It’s simply impossible to do so.\r\n\r\nEverything must have a connection and a relation. That’s why a bad-hair day that started from home can become an entire bad-hair day at work and vice versa.\r\n\r\nIt’s not easy to find a work-life balance, if ever there’s such a thing. Honestly, I believe that work is life itself. That being the case, I don’t think we should even make an effort to balance work and life. It just won’t make any sense. Life, to my mind, can’t be taken away from anything that we do. Life is embedded in every form of labor that we do, every emotion that we feel, every decision that we make.\r\n\r\nLife is what happens.\r\n\r\nAccepting several mysteries at work and at home will make your life easier. That’s what this book is also about. In the following pages, we’re going to find that there’s only a thin line between job and work. We need to learn that difference between the two so we can make informed decisions and sound judgment on what we do.\r\n\r\n<center><form action=\"https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr\" method=\"post\">\r\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"cmd\" value=\"_s-xclick\">\r\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"hosted_button_id\" value=\"V9SFVZVQTK2VY\">\r\n<table>\r\n<tr><td><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"on0\" value=\"Delivery Charges\"><center><strong>Book Price + Delivery Charge</strong></center></td></tr><tr><td><select name=\"os0\">\r\n	<option value=\"Pick Up\">Pick Up $15.00</option>\r\n	<option value=\"Within Metro Manila\">Within Metro Manila $17.00</option>\r\n	<option value=\"Within the Philippines\">Within the Philippines $20.00</option>\r\n</select> </td></tr>\r\n</table>\r\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"currency_code\" value=\"USD\">\r\n<input type=\"image\" src=\"http://www.lloydluna.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/btn_buynowCC_LG_global.gif\" border=\"0\" name=\"submit\" alt=\"PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online.\">\r\n<img alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http://www.lloydluna.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/pixel.gif\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\">\r\n</form></center>\r\n\r\nObviously, we shouldn’t ask this question: “Are you jobbing?” It’s as misdirected as this question: “Are you working occasionally at separate short jobs?” That’s how Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary defines “jobbing,” which is chiefly British usage.\r\n\r\nSo, is there a distinct difference between job and work? You’ll find the answer in this book.\r\n\r\nEvery workplace has its own norms, culture, and traditions. If you’re a newcomer particularly in a big company, it would take time to realize that you’re expected to move in a certain way under certain circumstances. Obviously, there are structures and rules that you’ll need to follow should you want to keep your job. If you’ve been a longtime employee, having worked for, say, 10 years or more since the company’s founding, then it’s likely that you yourself was part of the pioneering group that developed those structures and rules.\r\n\r\nHow do you understand the corporate culture? Is it even necessary for you to know and observe its norms? How do you capitalize on them? Is it possible to benefit from the existing corporate culture? Who’s making up the company’s “generally accepted standards”?\r\n\r\nThere are always some intractable issues in every organization—gossip, backstabbing, jealousy, mudslinging, blame games, and a thousand and one others. No matter how often you attend or are sent to seminars, conferences, conventions, or trainings, those issues are almost impossible to resolve. But why is it that we are unable to resolve these issues using the principles we’ve learned from our values education in primary and secondary school?\r\n\r\nCompanies spend a lot of time and money on training. Is this the solution to those corporate issues or does the spending only end up making employees even more adept in engaging in these issues? As an individual, is it that hard to do good than to do bad? Or is this the very reason why, consciously or not, we do bad things?\r\n\r\nIn this book, we will cover these issues and take up some suggested solutions so you need not waste your time and energy in trying to beat the system. Afterwards, perhaps you can even draw your own system and game plan to make the existing system obsolete. When this happens, you’ll become the driver of your own career.\r\n\r\n<center><form action=\"https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr\" method=\"post\">\r\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"cmd\" value=\"_s-xclick\">\r\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"hosted_button_id\" value=\"V9SFVZVQTK2VY\">\r\n<table>\r\n<tr><td><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"on0\" value=\"Delivery Charges\"><center><strong>Book Price + Delivery Charge</strong></center></td></tr><tr><td><select name=\"os0\">\r\n	<option value=\"Pick Up\">Pick Up $15.00</option>\r\n	<option value=\"Within Metro Manila\">Within Metro Manila $17.00</option>\r\n	<option value=\"Within the Philippines\">Within the Philippines $20.00</option>\r\n</select> </td></tr>\r\n</table>\r\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"currency_code\" value=\"USD\">\r\n<input type=\"image\" src=\"http://www.lloydluna.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/btn_buynowCC_LG_global.gif\" border=\"0\" name=\"submit\" alt=\"PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online.\">\r\n<img alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http://www.lloydluna.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/pixel.gif\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\">\r\n</form></center>\r\n\r\nFinally, in the last chapter, I’ll invite you to move up and raise your own bar. Being an employee doesn’t mean being lowly. It doesn’t mean that someone else owns you and that you’ll have to follow everything you are told to do. If what you do is getting in the way of your personal philosophy and judgment, you always have a choice to pick another journey.\r\n\r\nBeing an employee doesn’t mean that you always have to get a little and your bosses will have too much. It doesn’t take away your right to be happy. Your being a worker doesn’t restrict you from exercising your free will or the freedom to choose and decide for yourself. It is therefore wrong to say, “I have no choice.”\r\n\r\nAs an employee, you are duty-bound to follow certain set procedures. But it shouldn’t restrain you from growing. I think growth is a very important parcel of happiness, too. If you’re no longer growing and the environment you’re working in no longer provides you room for development, it’s time to get out of your post.\r\n\r\n\r\n<center><form action=\"https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr\" method=\"post\">\r\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"cmd\" value=\"_s-xclick\">\r\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"hosted_button_id\" value=\"V9SFVZVQTK2VY\">\r\n<table>\r\n<tr><td><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"on0\" value=\"Delivery Charges\"><center><strong>Book Price + Delivery Charge</strong></center></td></tr><tr><td><select name=\"os0\">\r\n	<option value=\"Pick Up\">Pick Up $15.00</option>\r\n	<option value=\"Within Metro Manila\">Within Metro Manila $17.00</option>\r\n	<option value=\"Within the Philippines\">Within the Philippines $20.00</option>\r\n</select> </td></tr>\r\n</table>\r\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"currency_code\" value=\"USD\">\r\n<input type=\"image\" src=\"http://www.lloydluna.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/btn_buynowCC_LG_global.gif\" border=\"0\" name=\"submit\" alt=\"PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online.\">\r\n<img alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http://www.lloydluna.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/pixel.gif\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\">\r\n</form></center>\r\n\r\nAs a worker, though, you’ll get every opportunity to make your life better every day. This is true for everyone. But not everyone can recognize this opportunity, and that recognition often spells the difference between success and failure. To succeed, you should learn to either recognize an opportunity or create one for yourself.\r\n\r\nLastly, I’ve always been a fan of personal development. I believe that the only way to succeed is to beat every opponent along your way. But by “opponent” here I mean your thinking, your choices, and your actions. Beating these opponents means challenging yourself to continuously improve and do a little bit more—every day.\r\n\r\nOne thing more: I’d like to confess that I’ve always been an employee. And my love for my work and my commitment to my God-given talent have always employed and empowered me to work for yet another day. But for how long? Oh, yes, for as long as I live.\r\n\r\nLloyd A.

It’s too big for an opening statement I’d like to think though that you really got the question right. So let me repeat the question.\n\n“Do you love your work?”\n\nWhy did I ask? Because everything that you are becoming everyday, everything that you do every moment of your working hours, or probably everything that you think about most of the time has everything to do with your life as a whole.\n\nSimply put, that question, though seemingly easy, is a powerful key to finally put to rest every agony, sorrow, and disappointment you have inside you that make you hate your job (or your boss).\n\nWhen you get to answer it with either a “yes” or a “no,” my follow up question is: Why are you working?\n\nSeemingly, it’s an easy question, too. When I ran a short survey on Facebook, the answers were obvious and there’s no contention at all. I think the sentiments are all but the same. Summing it up, we all work for either money or fulfillment or a combination of both.\n\nBut one fact has ramained in the same way it was thousands of years ago: We all have to work. Even the company owners will have to work. More often than not, they work three or four times harder than their employees. Your bosses will have to work. Students will have to work as students. Parents will have to work as parents.\n\nIt seems like everybody will have to move and do something so as long as they live. Is it a punishment by God when a certain Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit? And that we all have to labor as we live?\n\nWell, whether the story is true or not or the answer is a yes or a no, the fact is we are all working and we will have to labor.\n\nThat’s why I wrote this book. If we don’t have any other option but to work for a living, how do we take our work? If there’s nothing else that we can do but to work for a living, how do we respond to this reality? If we will never ever escape a “working” life, then where do we position ourselves in the workplace?\n\nOur goal here is to understand the real meaning of what we do so we’ll be able to liberate ourselves from anxiety, pain, and frustrations due to our poor or little understanding of our job or work. Without expanding our thinking, our limited knowledge can only do more harm than good.\n\nThat’s why some people get sick. It’s not mainly because of the polluted air or water. It’s also because of our polluted working environment. You can only imagine some people seeing the person they hate every day trying to figure out how the person will be fired from the company. And, what about the corporate politics that has been there for centuries? Take the case of an ugly working relationship between the boss and the employees or a turf among company workers.\n\nThe thing is the way we are to deal with every issue will define the way we live our life at work and at home. And whoever told you that you can separate your work life from your personal life must be mistaken.\n\nEverything must have a connection and relation. That’s why a bad hair day that started from home can last for an entire bad hair day at work and vice versa.\n\nIt’s not easy to find a work-life balance, if at all there’s such a thing. Honestly, I believe that work is life in itself. That being stated, I don’t think we should ever balance work and life. It just won’t make any sense. Life, for me, can’t be taken away from anything that we do. Life is embedded in every labor, every emotion, and every decision that we make.\n\nLife is what happens.\n\nAccepting several mysteries at work and at home will make your life easier. That’s what this book is also about. In the following pages, we’re going to find the thin line between job and work. I think people should learn the difference between the two so they can make conscious decisions and personal judgment on what they do.\n\nObviously, we don’t ask: Are you jobbing? Otherwise, you must asking: Are you working occasionally at separate short jobs? That’s how Merriam-Webster dictionary defined “jobbing” as an adjective, which is chiefly British.\n\nSo it there a distinct difference between job and work? You’ll find the answer inside.\n\nThere are norms and culture and tradition in any workplace. If you’re a newcomer, it takes time to realize that you’re bound to move in a certain way at a certain circumstance especially if you’re in a big company. Obviously, there are structures and rules that you’ll need to follow should you want to keep your job. If you’re a sort of an old employee having worked for 15 years or more since the founding of the company, then you’re part of the gang that developed such tradition.\n\nHow do you understand the corporate culture? Is it even necessary for you to realize these norms? How do you capitalize on it? Is it possible to benefit from the existing culture? Who’s making up this “generally accepted” standard?\n\nYou’ll find out in Chapter 3: The Norms.\n\nThere are undying issues in every organization. No matter how often you send your self to seminars, conferences, conventions, or trainings, it seems like the issues are almost impossible to resolve. There are issues like backstabbing, jealousy, mudslinging, blame game, and a thousand and one more. Are they not simple issues that we can solve using what we’ve learned from our Values Education in primary and secondary school?\n\nWith the size and scope we have now, I don’t think it’s sufficient.\n\nCompanies spend time and money on training. Is it the answer to solve corporate issues or are they just spending to make their employees wiser to engage in these issues? As an individual, is it hard to do good than to do bad that’s why we do bad things?\n\nChapters 4 and 5 will cover the issues and solutions so you’ll never have to waste your time and energy in beating up the system. Perhaps, you can draw your own system and game plan that will make the existing system obsolete. In this case, you can be the driver of your own career.\n\nFinally, in the final chapter, I’ll invite you to move up and raise your own bar. Being an employee doesn’t mean being lowly. It doesn’t mean that someone else owns you and you will have to follow everything that you are told to do. If what you do is getting in the way of your personal preference and judgment, you always have a choice to pick another journey.\n\nBeing an employee doesn’t mean that you always have a little and your bosses have too much.

Who’s making up the company’s “generally accepted standards”?\n\nThere are always some intractable issues in every organization—gossip, backstabbing, jealousy, mudslinging, blame games, and a thousand and one others. No matter how often you attend or are sent to seminars, conferences, conventions, or trainings, those issues are almost impossible to resolve. But why is it that we are unable to resolve these issues using the principles we’ve learned from our values education in primary and secondary school?\n\nCompanies spend a lot of time and money on training. Is this the solution to those corporate issues or does the spending only end up making employees even more adept in engaging in these issues? As an individual, is it that hard to do good than to do bad? Or is this the very reason why, consciously or not, we do bad things?\n\nIn this book, we will cover these issues and take up some suggested solutions so you need not waste your time and energy in trying to beat the system. Afterwards, perhaps you can even draw your own system and game plan to make the existing system obsolete. When this happens, you’ll become the driver of your own career.\n\n<center><form action=\"https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr\" method=\"post\">\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"cmd\" value=\"_s-xclick\">\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"hosted_button_id\" value=\"V9SFVZVQTK2VY\">\n<table>\n<tr><td><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"on0\" value=\"Delivery Charges\"><center><strong>Book Price + Delivery Charge</strong></center></td></tr><tr><td><select name=\"os0\">\n	<option value=\"Pick Up\">Pick Up $15.00</option>\n	<option value=\"Within Metro Manila\">Within Metro Manila $17.00</option>\n	<option value=\"Within the Philippines\">Within the Philippines $20.00</option>\n</select> </td></tr>\n</table>\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"currency_code\" value=\"USD\">\n<input type=\"image\" src=\"https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_buynowCC_LG_global.gif\" border=\"0\" name=\"submit\" alt=\"PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online.\">\n<img alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\">\n</form></center>\n\nFinally, in the last chapter, I’ll invite you to move up and raise your own bar. Being an employee doesn’t mean being lowly. It doesn’t mean that someone else owns you and that you’ll have to follow everything you are told to do. If what you do is getting in the way of your personal philosophy and judgment, you always have a choice to pick another journey.\n\nBeing an employee doesn’t mean that you always have to get a little and your bosses will have too much. It doesn’t take away your right to be happy. Your being a worker doesn’t restrict you from exercising your free will or the freedom to choose and decide for yourself. It is therefore wrong to say, “I have no choice.”\n\nAs an employee, you are duty-bound to follow certain set procedures. But it shouldn’t restrain you from growing. I think growth is a very important parcel of happiness, too. If you’re no longer growing and the environment you’re working in no longer provides you room for development, it’s time to get out of your post.\n\n\n<center><form action=\"https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr\" method=\"post\">\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"cmd\" value=\"_s-xclick\">\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"hosted_button_id\" value=\"V9SFVZVQTK2VY\">\n<table>\n<tr><td><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"on0\" value=\"Delivery Charges\"><center><strong>Book Price + Delivery Charge</strong></center></td></tr><tr><td><select name=\"os0\">\n	<option value=\"Pick Up\">Pick Up $15.00</option>\n	<option value=\"Within Metro Manila\">Within Metro Manila $17.00</option>\n	<option value=\"Within the Philippines\">Within the Philippines $20.00</option>\n</select> </td></tr>\n</table>\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"currency_code\" value=\"USD\">\n<input type=\"image\" src=\"https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_buynowCC_LG_global.gif\" border=\"0\" name=\"submit\" alt=\"PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online.\">\n<img alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\">\n</form></center>\n\nAs a worker, though, you’ll get every opportunity to make your life better every day. This is true for everyone. But not everyone can recognize this opportunity, and that recognition often spells the difference between success and failure. To succeed, you should learn to either recognize an opportunity or create one for yourself.\n\nLastly, I’ve always been a fan of personal development. I believe that the only way to succeed is to beat every opponent along your way. But by “opponent” here I mean your thinking, your choices, and your actions. Beating these opponents means challenging yourself to continuously improve and do a little bit more—every day.\n\nOne thing more: I’d like to confess that I’ve always been an employee. And my love for my work and my commitment to my God-given talent have always employed and empowered me to work for yet another day. But for how long? Oh, yes, for as long as I live.\n\nLloyd A.

It’s too big for an opening statement I’d like to think though that you really got the question right. So let me repeat the question.\r\n\r\n“Do you love your work?”\r\n\r\nWhy did I ask? Because everything that you are becoming everyday, everything that you do every moment of your working hours, or probably everything that you think about most of the time has everything to do with your life as a whole.\r\n\r\nSimply put, that question, though seemingly easy, is a powerful key to finally put to rest every agony, sorrow, and disappointment you have inside you that make you hate your job (or your boss).\r\n\r\nWhen you get to answer it with either a “yes” or a “no,” my follow up question is: Why are you working?\r\n\r\nSeemingly, it’s an easy question, too. When I ran a short survey on Facebook, the answers were obvious and there’s no contention at all. I think the sentiments are all but the same. Summing it up, we all work for either money or fulfillment or a combination of both.\r\n\r\nBut one fact has ramained in the same way it was thousands of years ago: We all have to work. Even the company owners will have to work. More often than not, they work three or four times harder than their employees. Your bosses will have to work. Students will have to work as students. Parents will have to work as parents.\r\n\r\nIt seems like everybody will have to move and do something so as long as they live. Is it a punishment by God when a certain Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit? And that we all have to labor as we live?\r\n\r\nWell, whether the story is true or not or the answer is a yes or a no, the fact is we are all working and we will have to labor.\r\n\r\nThat’s why I wrote this book. If we don’t have any other option but to work for a living, how do we take our work? If there’s nothing else that we can do but to work for a living, how do we respond to this reality? If we will never ever escape a “working” life, then where do we position ourselves in the workplace?\r\n\r\nOur goal here is to understand the real meaning of what we do so we’ll be able to liberate ourselves from anxiety, pain, and frustrations due to our poor or little understanding of our job or work. Without expanding our thinking, our limited knowledge can only do more harm than good.\r\n\r\nThat’s why some people get sick. It’s not mainly because of the polluted air or water. It’s also because of our polluted working environment. You can only imagine some people seeing the person they hate every day trying to figure out how the person will be fired from the company. And, what about the corporate politics that has been there for centuries? Take the case of an ugly working relationship between the boss and the employees or a turf among company workers.\r\n\r\nThe thing is the way we are to deal with every issue will define the way we live our life at work and at home. And whoever told you that you can separate your work life from your personal life must be mistaken.\r\n\r\nEverything must have a connection and relation. That’s why a bad hair day that started from home can last for an entire bad hair day at work and vice versa.\r\n\r\nIt’s not easy to find a work-life balance, if at all there’s such a thing. Honestly, I believe that work is life in itself. That being stated, I don’t think we should ever balance work and life. It just won’t make any sense. Life, for me, can’t be taken away from anything that we do. Life is embedded in every labor, every emotion, and every decision that we make.\r\n\r\nLife is what happens.\r\n\r\nAccepting several mysteries at work and at home will make your life easier. That’s what this book is also about. In the following pages, we’re going to find the thin line between job and work. I think people should learn the difference between the two so they can make conscious decisions and personal judgment on what they do.\r\n\r\nObviously, we don’t ask: Are you jobbing? Otherwise, you must asking: Are you working occasionally at separate short jobs? That’s how Merriam-Webster dictionary defined “jobbing” as an adjective, which is chiefly British.\r\n\r\nSo it there a distinct difference between job and work? You’ll find the answer inside.\r\n\r\nThere are norms and culture and tradition in any workplace. If you’re a newcomer, it takes time to realize that you’re bound to move in a certain way at a certain circumstance especially if you’re in a big company. Obviously, there are structures and rules that you’ll need to follow should you want to keep your job. If you’re a sort of an old employee having worked for 15 years or more since the founding of the company, then you’re part of the gang that developed such tradition.\r\n\r\nHow do you understand the corporate culture? Is it even necessary for you to realize these norms? How do you capitalize on it? Is it possible to benefit from the existing culture? Who’s making up this “generally accepted” standard?\r\n\r\nYou’ll find out in Chapter 3: The Norms.\r\n\r\nThere are undying issues in every organization. No matter how often you send your self to seminars, conferences, conventions, or trainings, it seems like the issues are almost impossible to resolve. There are issues like backstabbing, jealousy, mudslinging, blame game, and a thousand and one more. Are they not simple issues that we can solve using what we’ve learned from our Values Education in primary and secondary school?\r\n\r\nWith the size and scope we have now, I don’t think it’s sufficient.\r\n\r\nCompanies spend time and money on training. Is it the answer to solve corporate issues or are they just spending to make their employees wiser to engage in these issues? As an individual, is it hard to do good than to do bad that’s why we do bad things?\r\n\r\nChapters 4 and 5 will cover the issues and solutions so you’ll never have to waste your time and energy in beating up the system. Perhaps, you can draw your own system and game plan that will make the existing system obsolete. In this case, you can be the driver of your own career.\r\n\r\nFinally, in the final chapter, I’ll invite you to move up and raise your own bar. Being an employee doesn’t mean being lowly.

Obviously—and naturally—we\'d like leaders to make this world a better place. There\'s one problem though. Why is it that, despite our desire to have good leaders in our midst, we still get to see some worlds suffering from ineffective leadership?\r\n\r\nI hope I got all the answers. But you know what? I\'m no longer much concern about our present leaders. Of course, I respect them. I think whether they qualify or not, I can always respect them as human beings. What I\'m more concerned about rather is the next generation.\r\n\r\nSo here\'s my take on how we can shape the future leaders of this land.\r\n\r\nOne is talk to them. We can\'t afford not to talk to the next generation. If we don\'t, then they might do some mistakes that we\'ve experience in the past. The older generation should do two things: They should leave us with models warn us of the possible pitfalls.\r\n\r\nBut based on what I\'m seeing right now, I think the older generation is still busy in serving and enriching themselves rather than talking to the young people. Most of them still engage in a nonsensical and time-wasting debates and arguments which don\'t necessarily benefit the majority. Let\'s take the case of politicians these days. Have they invested their time training the next generation?\r\n\r\nThe answer is a clear no. And why would they do that? I think they still want to prove something despite their age. What they do most of the time is still about them, and not about the next generation.\r\n\r\nGiving young people a substantial amount of time is very important. We will have to talk to them and engage them in intelligent conversations. We should encourage them to talk and speak their minds out. We should empower them to see the world as it evolves and then give some inputs and pieces of advice.\r\n\r\nTwo, show them respect. Several times in the past, I got wasted, sick, and tired of hearing that leadership has something to do with age—that you can\'t leave if you\'re still young. Now, I refused to accept this and proved to the world that leadership is nothing but persuasion. Regardless of our age, we can persuade. An infant can persuade. A high school student can persuade. Everybody can persuade and influence one decision.\r\n\r\nBut the younger generation must be respected. The world has evolved. Maybe the leadership culture should evolve, too! This generation is born in a different with different requirements with different problems to solve with different opportunities. We can respect them by listening to them and maybe helping them find out better approaches and strategies to succeed in their own time.\r\n\r\nThree, allow them to experience life. Some members of the older generation would always insist their authority to someone younger than them. They have the power to stop young people from experiencing the best in life. In a simple family, parents usually play intelligent and make the decision on behalf of their children. Will this work? In some cases, yes. In most cases, no.\r\n\r\nBecause we got some bad luck or perhaps negative experiences in the past, we tend to be cautious and over-protected about the life of our children. We don\'t let them decide for themselves. We stop them from exercising their judgment. We feel that we are the best person to decide. Well, guess what. History will tell that most decisions made by the older generation in behalf of the younger generation were wrong decisions.\r\n\r\nLastly, leaders create leaders not followers. They already lead. By mentoring and coaching the younger generation, there\'s a greater chance for this world to really be a better place for everybody.\r\n\r\nThis generation is no longer about the old. It\'s high time to talk to the ones to inherit everything that the older generation is leaving. The less we prepare them, the less their chances of success. The more we open ourselves to them, the more they will a brighter future.', 'Shaping the Leaders of the Next Generation', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'shaping-the-leaders-of-the-new-generation', '', '', '2010-10-13 17:43:30', '2010-10-13 09:43:30', '', 0, 'http://www.lloydluna.com/?p=3094', 0, 'post', '', 1),

As much as I\'d like to make it a personal note, I decided to speak my mind on sales since it also this time of the year where companies and organizations mostly stage their sales kick off events.\n\n<a href=\"http://www.lloydluna.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/DSC_0858.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft  wp-image-4225\" title=\"sales rally motivation seminar in manila philippines \" src=\"http://www.lloydluna.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/DSC_0858.jpg\" alt=\"Sales Rally Speaker Philippines\" width=\"382\" height=\"254\" /></a>This year, I\'m blessed to be invited to speak in different sales rally events and I take such a rare privilege share my thoughts. My entry for today touches on the essence of sales rally, many of them call it \"ra-ra\".\n\nCan sales rally really rally your people?\n\nThe answer is both a yes and a no. And based on my personal experience, sales rally can and cannot make a big difference in the coming year.\n\nSales rally can rally your people behind whatever goal you set for this year if your resource person during the rally shares the sentiments of your sales people. I believe in the power of connection—the ability to touch the heart of people for the purpose of inspiration and motivation.\n\nWhenever I speak on sales rallies, I usually don\'t talk about sales. One, sales people have probably more experience in selling than I have. Two, they have been hearing the term \"sales\" for the entire year. I think sometimes, it doesn\'t sound sweet to the ears anymore especially during off-peak seasons where sales is down.\n\nWhat I speak about is the very essence of selling. Personally, I\'d like people to understand that selling is beyond the exchange of value like in a buyer-seller relationship. It is about understanding the value so that both the seller and the buyer can create a fair, satisfying environment.\n\nSelling is about giving people something that can improve their quality of life. Somehow, it means a seller has an opportunity to help and make a difference. I\'d like to highlight the importance of this part. How many people get a chance to help others as direct as a salesperson can? Not too many. Salespeople are any organizations touch point and they can make or break your group\'s mission to accomplish the goal.\n\nGreat salespeople don\'t sell because they need something, in this case monetary return. They sell because they have something to offer. Needless to say, this process automatically give them the money they need.\n\nThis difference mind frame can make a huge difference in the way salespeople look at their work in the coming year. When people realize that they are in a mission (not in sales), they will perform four times as hard not only because you are able to rally them through an effective sales rally speech but also because they understand now that they are not salespeople but people who have personal mission.\n\nBy nature, people love to help if they get an opportunity. When your organization provides such a venue and that you\'re able to make them understand what selling is about, you\'ll get the job done way better than before.\n\nSales rally doesn\'t really rally the people. It does, when people realize that they are not just your organization\'s another resources but stewards of mission to improve the quality of your customer\'s life.', 'Can sales rally really rally your people?', '', 'inherit', 'open', 'open', '', '4223-autosave', '', '', '2012-02-09 08:10:30', '2012-02-09 00:10:30', '', 4223, 'http://www.lloydluna.com/4223-autosave/', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

The book is about understanding the meaning of what we do so we’ll never hate our job (or boss) again, which is highly recommended for your team players. I believe that this book can help your subordinates find a deeper sense of meaning, appreciation, and mission in accomplishing their daily tasks with a light heart and without complaining.\r\n\r\nIn this book, I explained the thin line between job and work, which can help a person understand that job is only a part of work—that job is between a person and his boss while work is between the person and the people he’s able to help through his company.\r\n\r\nAlso, the book encourages every working person to learn and rediscover their real value and start managing their perceived value. I believe that by recognizing our real individual value, we can contribute even more. I also give the readers my account on taking his job as either a cross that he carries everyday or a car that he uses to reach his destination.\r\n\r\nThe book can help your company specifically to minimize or eliminate the spread of gossip, blame game, backstabbing, turf war, miscommunication, misunderstanding, abuse of privileges and authority, anger, hate, sadness, jealousy, and power tripping among others. The book contains different ways and approaches, tips and techniques, advice and suggestions on how to love one’s work so they can start producing amazing results. By reading the book, people can rethink about the deeper reason they are working and the impact of their job not only on the company but also on the community.\r\n\r\nMy proposal is for you to have this book as your Christmas giveaway item—something that you can share with your family, associates, friends, and employees so they can have a renewed mindset and perception toward their job and work in the coming year.\r\n\r\nIf you\'d like to get a sample, please send us your mailing address along with your company details including number of employees.\r\n\r\nYou can also have your logo printed on the front cover when you order at least 100 copies at P440/copy.

Book Motivational Speaker Lloyd Luna\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" /></a>[/caption]\r\n\r\n“Do you love your work?”\r\n\r\nWhy did I ask? Because everything that you are becoming everyday, everything that you do every moment of your working hours, or probably everything that you think about most of the time has everything to do with your life as a whole.\r\n\r\nSimply put, that question, though seemingly easy, is a powerful key to finally put to rest every agony, sorrow, and disappointment you have inside you that make you hate your job (or your boss).\r\n\r\nWhen you get to answer it with either a “yes” or a “no,” my follow up question is: Why are you working?\r\n\r\nSeemingly, it’s an easy question, too. When I ran a short survey on Facebook, the answers were obvious and there’s no contention at all. I think the sentiments are all but the same. Summing it up, we all work for either money or fulfillment or a combination of both.\r\n\r\nBut one fact has ramained in the same way it was thousands of years ago: We all have to work. Even the company owners will have to work. More often than not, they work three or four times harder than their employees. Your bosses will have to work. Students will have to work as students. Parents will have to work as parents.\r\n\r\nIt seems like everybody will have to move and do something so as long as they live. Is it a punishment by God when a certain Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit? And that we all have to labor as we live?\r\n\r\nWell, whether the story is true or not or the answer is a yes or a no, the fact is we are all working and we will have to labor.\r\n\r\nThat’s why I wrote this book. If we don’t have any other option but to work for a living, how do we take our work? If there’s nothing else that we can do but to work for a living, how do we respond to this reality? If we will never ever escape a “working” life, then where do we position ourselves in the workplace?\r\n\r\nOur goal here is to understand the real meaning of what we do so we’ll be able to liberate ourselves from anxiety, pain, and frustrations due to our poor or little understanding of our job or work. Without expanding our thinking, our limited knowledge can only do more harm than good.\r\n\r\nThat’s why some people get sick. It’s not mainly because of the polluted air or water. It’s also because of our polluted working environment. You can only imagine some people seeing the person they hate every day trying to figure out how the person will be fired from the company. And, what about the corporate politics that has been there for centuries? Take the case of an ugly working relationship between the boss and the employees or a turf among company workers.\r\n\r\nThe thing is the way we are to deal with every issue will define the way we live our life at work and at home. And whoever told you that you can separate your work life from your personal life must be mistaken.\r\n\r\nEverything must have a connection and relation. That’s why a bad hair day that started from home can last for an entire bad hair day at work and vice versa.\r\n\r\nIt’s not easy to find a work-life balance, if at all there’s such a thing. Honestly, I believe that work is life in itself. That being stated, I don’t think we should ever balance work and life. It just won’t make any sense. Life, for me, can’t be taken away from anything that we do. Life is embedded in every labor, every emotion, and every decision that we make.\r\n\r\nLife is what happens.\r\n\r\nAccepting several mysteries at work and at home will make your life easier. That’s what this book is also about. In the following pages, we’re going to find the thin line between job and work. I think people should learn the difference between the two so they can make conscious decisions and personal judgment on what they do.\r\n\r\nObviously, we don’t ask: Are you jobbing? Otherwise, you must asking: Are you working occasionally at separate short jobs? That’s how Merriam-Webster dictionary defined “jobbing” as an adjective, which is chiefly British.\r\n\r\nSo it there a distinct difference between job and work? You’ll find the answer inside.\r\n\r\nThere are norms and culture and tradition in any workplace. If you’re a newcomer, it takes time to realize that you’re bound to move in a certain way at a certain circumstance especially if you’re in a big company. Obviously, there are structures and rules that you’ll need to follow should you want to keep your job. If you’re a sort of an old employee having worked for 15 years or more since the founding of the company, then you’re part of the gang that developed such tradition.\r\n\r\nHow do you understand the corporate culture? Is it even necessary for you to realize these norms? How do you capitalize on it? Is it possible to benefit from the existing culture? Who’s making up this “generally accepted” standard?\r\n\r\nYou’ll find out in Chapter 3: The Norms.\r\n\r\nThere are undying issues in every organization. No matter how often you send your self to seminars, conferences, conventions, or trainings, it seems like the issues are almost impossible to resolve. There are issues like backstabbing, jealousy, mudslinging, blame game, and a thousand and one more. Are they not simple issues that we can solve using what we’ve learned from our Values Education in primary and secondary school?\r\n\r\nWith the size and scope we have now, I don’t think it’s sufficient.\r\n\r\nCompanies spend time and money on training. Is it the answer to solve corporate issues or are they just spending to make their employees wiser to engage in these issues? As an individual, is it hard to do good than to do bad that’s why we do bad things?\r\n\r\nChapters 4 and 5 will cover the issues and solutions so you’ll never have to waste your time and energy in beating up the system. Perhaps, you can draw your own system and game plan that will make the existing system obsolete. In this case, you can be the driver of your own career.\r\n\r\nFinally, in the final chapter, I’ll invite you to move up and raise your own bar. Being an employee doesn’t mean being lowly. It doesn’t mean that someone else owns you and you will have to follow everything that you are told to do. If what you do is getting in the way of your personal preference and judgment, you always have a choice to pick another journey.\r\n\r\nBeing an employee doesn’t mean that you always have a little and your bosses have too much. It doesn’t take your right to happiness. Your being a worker doesn’t restrict you from exercising your free will—you have the freedom to choose and decide for your self and therefore it’s not true when you say, “I have no choice.”\r\n\r\nAs an employee, you are bound to follow a certain procedure. But it shouldn’t restrain you from growing. I think growth is a very important parcel of happiness. If you’re no longer growing and the environment you’re working into no longer provides a room for development, it’s time to abandon your post.\r\n\r\nAs an employee, however, you are given every opportunity to make your life better every day. This is true for every one. But not every one recognize this opportunity. That spells the difference between success and failure. Should you want to succeed, you should learn to either recognize an opportunity or create one for your self.\r\n\r\nLastly, I’ve always been a fan of personal development. I believe that the only way to succeed is to beat every opponent in your way. That includes your thinking, your choices, and your actions. That includes beating your own self—every day.\r\n\r\nOne thing more. I’d like to confess that I’ve always been an employee. And my love for work and commitment to my God-given talent have always employed me to work for another day. For how long? Yes. For as long as I live.\r\n\r\nThe Author\r\nSeptember 1, 2010\r\nMakati City, Philippines', 'Why Am I Working?', '', 'inherit', 'open', 'open', '', '2800-revision-4', '', '', '2010-09-09 10:39:38', '2010-09-09 02:39:38', '', 2800, 'http://www.lloydluna.com/2800-revision-4/', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

It’s because everything that you are becoming every day, everything that you do every moment of your working hours, and probably everything that you think about most of the time, has everything to do with your life as a whole.\r\n\r\nSimply put, even if that question sounds seemingly easy, it’s a powerful key to finally putting to rest every agony, sorrow, and disappointment you have inside you that probably makes you hate either your job or your boss.\r\n\r\nWhen you get to answer that question with a “yes” or a “no,” let me ask you this follow-up question: “Why are you working?”\r\n\r\nSeemingly, that’s an easy question, too. When I ran a short survey on Facebook, in fact, there was no question at all about the answers. It was all about money, livelihood, satisfaction, the absence of choice, fate, and many more. The sentiments were all the same. In sum, we all work for either money or fulfillment or for a combination of both.\r\n\r\nBut of course, one other fact has remained the same as it was thousands of years ago: We all need to work. Even company owners need to work. More often than not, they even work three or four times harder than their employees. Your bosses will need to work, too. Students will need to study. Parents will need to parent their children.\r\n\r\nEverybody will need to move and do something for as long as they live. Is it a punishment by God that when a certain Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit, we all have ended up having to labor to live?\r\n\r\nWell, whether the story is true or not and whatever the answer to that question, the fact is we are all working and we will need to continue to do so to live.\r\n\r\nThis is why I wrote this book. If we don’t have any option but to work for a living, how should we look at our work? If there’s nothing else we can do but to work for a living, how should we respond to this reality? If we could never ever escape a “working” life, then how should we position ourselves in the workplace?\r\n\r\n<center><form action=\"https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr\" method=\"post\">\r\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"cmd\" value=\"_s-xclick\">\r\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"hosted_button_id\" value=\"V9SFVZVQTK2VY\">\r\n<table>\r\n<tr><td><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"on0\" value=\"Delivery Charges\"><center><strong>Book Price + Delivery Charge</strong></center></td></tr><tr><td><select name=\"os0\">\r\n	<option value=\"Pick Up\">Pick Up $15.00</option>\r\n	<option value=\"Within Metro Manila\">Within Metro Manila $17.00</option>\r\n	<option value=\"Within the Philippines\">Within the Philippines $20.00</option>\r\n</select> </td></tr>\r\n</table>\r\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"currency_code\" value=\"USD\">\r\n<input type=\"image\" src=\"http://www.lloydluna.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/btn_buynowCC_LG_global.gif\" border=\"0\" name=\"submit\" alt=\"PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online.\">\r\n<img alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http://www.lloydluna.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/pixel.gif\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\">\r\n</form></center>\r\n\r\n\r\nOur goal here is to understand the real meaning of what we do so we can liberate ourselves from anxiety, from pain, and from frustration due to our poor understanding of our job or of our work. Without expanding our thinking on this very important matter, our limited knowledge can do us more harm than good.\r\n\r\nThis is why some people get sick. It’s not only because of the polluted air or water. It’s also because of our polluted working environment and polluted mindsets. Imagine some people seeing the person they hate every day and trying to figure out how that person might be fired from the company or praying that soon that person will quit his or her job. And what about corporate politics; hasn’t it been there for centuries? We can take the case, too, of an ugly working relationship between the boss and the employees or of a turf war among company workers.\r\n\r\nThe thing is that the way we deal with every issue will define the way we will live our lives at work and at home. And whoever told you that you can separate your work life from your personal life is totally mistaken. It’s simply impossible to do so.\r\n\r\nEverything must have a connection and a relation. That’s why a bad-hair day that started from home can become an entire bad-hair day at work and vice versa.\r\n\r\nIt’s not easy to find a work-life balance, if ever there’s such a thing. Honestly, I believe that work is life itself. That being the case, I don’t think we should even make an effort to balance work and life. It just won’t make any sense. Life, to my mind, can’t be taken away from anything that we do. Life is embedded in every form of labor that we do, every emotion that we feel, every decision that we make.\r\n\r\nLife is what happens.\r\n\r\nAccepting several mysteries at work and at home will make your life easier. That’s what this book is also about. In the following pages, we’re going to find that there’s only a thin line between job and work. We need to learn that difference between the two so we can make informed decisions and sound judgment on what we do.\r\n\r\n<center><form action=\"https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr\" method=\"post\">\r\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"cmd\" value=\"_s-xclick\">\r\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"hosted_button_id\" value=\"V9SFVZVQTK2VY\">\r\n<table>\r\n<tr><td><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"on0\" value=\"Delivery Charges\"><center><strong>Book Price + Delivery Charge</strong></center></td></tr><tr><td><select name=\"os0\">\r\n	<option value=\"Pick Up\">Pick Up $15.00</option>\r\n	<option value=\"Within Metro Manila\">Within Metro Manila $17.00</option>\r\n	<option value=\"Within the Philippines\">Within the Philippines $20.00</option>\r\n</select> </td></tr>\r\n</table>\r\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"currency_code\" value=\"USD\">\r\n<input type=\"image\" src=\"http://www.lloydluna.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/btn_buynowCC_LG_global.gif\" border=\"0\" name=\"submit\" alt=\"PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online.\">\r\n<img alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http://www.lloydluna.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/pixel.gif\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\">\r\n</form></center>\r\n\r\nObviously, we shouldn’t ask this question: “Are you jobbing?” It’s as misdirected as this question: “Are you working occasionally at separate short jobs?” That’s how Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary defines “jobbing,” which is chiefly British usage.\r\n\r\nSo, is there a distinct difference between job and work? You’ll find the answer in this book.\r\n\r\nEvery workplace has its own norms, culture, and traditions. If you’re a newcomer particularly in a big company, it would take time to realize that you’re expected to move in a certain way under certain circumstances. Obviously, there are structures and rules that you’ll need to follow should you want to keep your job. If you’ve been a longtime employee, having worked for, say, 10 years or more since the company’s founding, then it’s likely that you yourself was part of the pioneering group that developed those structures and rules.\r\n\r\nHow do you understand the corporate culture? Is it even necessary for you to know and observe its norms? How do you capitalize on them? Is it possible to benefit from the existing corporate culture? Who’s making up the company’s “generally accepted standards”?\r\n\r\nThere are always some intractable issues in every organization—gossip, backstabbing, jealousy, mudslinging, blame games, and a thousand and one others. No matter how often you attend or are sent to seminars, conferences, conventions, or trainings, those issues are almost impossible to resolve. But why is it that we are unable to resolve these issues using the principles we’ve learned from our values education in primary and secondary school?\r\n\r\nCompanies spend a lot of time and money on training. Is this the solution to those corporate issues or does the spending only end up making employees even more adept in engaging in these issues? As an individual, is it that hard to do good than to do bad? Or is this the very reason why, consciously or not, we do bad things?\r\n\r\nIn this book, we will cover these issues and take up some suggested solutions so you need not waste your time and energy in trying to beat the system. Afterwards, perhaps you can even draw your own system and game plan to make the existing system obsolete. When this happens, you’ll become the driver of your own career.\r\n\r\n<center><form action=\"https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr\" method=\"post\">\r\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"cmd\" value=\"_s-xclick\">\r\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"hosted_button_id\" value=\"V9SFVZVQTK2VY\">\r\n<table>\r\n<tr><td><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"on0\" value=\"Delivery Charges\"><center><strong>Book Price + Delivery Charge</strong></center></td></tr><tr><td><select name=\"os0\">\r\n	<option value=\"Pick Up\">Pick Up $15.00</option>\r\n	<option value=\"Within Metro Manila\">Within Metro Manila $17.00</option>\r\n	<option value=\"Within the Philippines\">Within the Philippines $20.00</option>\r\n</select> </td></tr>\r\n</table>\r\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"currency_code\" value=\"USD\">\r\n<input type=\"image\" src=\"http://www.lloydluna.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/btn_buynowCC_LG_global.gif\" border=\"0\" name=\"submit\" alt=\"PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online.\">\r\n<img alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http://www.lloydluna.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/pixel.gif\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\">\r\n</form></center>\r\n\r\nFinally, in the last chapter, I’ll invite you to move up and raise your own bar. Being an employee doesn’t mean being lowly. It doesn’t mean that someone else owns you and that you’ll have to follow everything you are told to do. If what you do is getting in the way of your personal philosophy and judgment, you always have a choice to pick another journey.\r\n\r\nBeing an employee doesn’t mean that you always have to get a little and your bosses will have too much. It doesn’t take away your right to be happy. Your being a worker doesn’t restrict you from exercising your free will or the freedom to choose and decide for yourself. It is therefore wrong to say, “I have no choice.”\r\n\r\nAs an employee, you are duty-bound to follow certain set procedures. But it shouldn’t restrain you from growing. I think growth is a very important parcel of happiness, too. If you’re no longer growing and the environment you’re working in no longer provides you room for development, it’s time to get out of your post.\r\n\r\n\r\n<center><form action=\"https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr\" method=\"post\">\r\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"cmd\" value=\"_s-xclick\">\r\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"hosted_button_id\" value=\"V9SFVZVQTK2VY\">\r\n<table>\r\n<tr><td><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"on0\" value=\"Delivery Charges\"><center><strong>Book Price + Delivery Charge</strong></center></td></tr><tr><td><select name=\"os0\">\r\n	<option value=\"Pick Up\">Pick Up $15.00</option>\r\n	<option value=\"Within Metro Manila\">Within Metro Manila $17.00</option>\r\n	<option value=\"Within the Philippines\">Within the Philippines $20.00</option>\r\n</select> </td></tr>\r\n</table>\r\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"currency_code\" value=\"USD\">\r\n<input type=\"image\" src=\"http://www.lloydluna.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/btn_buynowCC_LG_global.gif\" border=\"0\" name=\"submit\" alt=\"PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online.\">\r\n<img alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http://www.lloydluna.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/pixel.gif\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\">\r\n</form></center>\r\n\r\nAs a worker, though, you’ll get every opportunity to make your life better every day. This is true for everyone. But not everyone can recognize this opportunity, and that recognition often spells the difference between success and failure. To succeed, you should learn to either recognize an opportunity or create one for yourself.\r\n\r\nLastly, I’ve always been a fan of personal development. I believe that the only way to succeed is to beat every opponent along your way. But by “opponent” here I mean your thinking, your choices, and your actions. Beating these opponents means challenging yourself to continuously improve and do a little bit more—every day.\r\n\r\nOne thing more: I’d like to confess that I’ve always been an employee. And my love for my work and my commitment to my God-given talent have always employed and empowered me to work for yet another day. But for how long? Oh, yes, for as long as I live.\r\n\r\nLloyd A.

When I ran a short survey on Facebook, in fact, there was no question at all about the answers. It was all about money, livelihood, satisfaction, the absence of choice, fate, and many more. The sentiments were all the same. In sum, we all work for either money or fulfillment or for a combination of both.\r\n\r\nBut of course, one other fact has remained the same as it was thousands of years ago: We all need to work. Even company owners need to work. More often than not, they even work three or four times harder than their employees. Your bosses will need to work, too. Students will need to study. Parents will need to parent their children.\r\n\r\nEverybody will need to move and do something for as long as they live. Is it a punishment by God that when a certain Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit, we all have ended up having to labor to live?\r\n\r\nWell, whether the story is true or not and whatever the answer to that question, the fact is we are all working and we will need to continue to do so to live.\r\n\r\nThis is why I wrote this book. If we don’t have any option but to work for a living, how should we look at our work? If there’s nothing else we can do but to work for a living, how should we respond to this reality? If we could never ever escape a “working” life, then how should we position ourselves in the workplace?\r\n\r\nOur goal here is to understand the real meaning of what we do so we can liberate ourselves from anxiety, from pain, and from frustration due to our poor understanding of our job or of our work. Without expanding our thinking on this very important matter, our limited knowledge can do us more harm than good.\r\n\r\nThis is why some people get sick. It’s not only because of the polluted air or water. It’s also because of our polluted working environment and polluted mindsets. Imagine some people seeing the person they hate every day and trying to figure out how that person might be fired from the company or praying that soon that person will quit his or her job. And what about corporate politics; hasn’t it been there for centuries? We can take the case, too, of an ugly working relationship between the boss and the employees or of a turf war among company workers.\r\n\r\nThe thing is that the way we deal with every issue will define the way we will live our lives at work and at home. And whoever told you that you can separate your work life from your personal life is totally mistaken. It’s simply impossible to do so.\r\n\r\nEverything must have a connection and a relation. That’s why a bad-hair day that started from home can become an entire bad-hair day at work and vice versa.\r\n\r\nIt’s not easy to find a work-life balance, if ever there’s such a thing. Honestly, I believe that work is life itself. That being the case, I don’t think we should even make an effort to balance work and life. It just won’t make any sense. Life, to my mind, can’t be taken away from anything that we do. Life is embedded in every form of labor that we do, every emotion that we feel, every decision that we make.\r\n\r\nLife is what happens.\r\n\r\nAccepting several mysteries at work and at home will make your life easier. That’s what this book is also about. In the following pages, we’re going to find that there’s only a thin line between job and work. We need to learn that difference between the two so we can make informed decisions and sound judgment on what we do.\r\n\r\nObviously, we shouldn’t ask this question: “Are you jobbing?” It’s as misdirected as this question: “Are you working occasionally at separate short jobs?” That’s how Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary defines “jobbing,” which is chiefly British usage.\r\n\r\nSo, is there a distinct difference between job and work? You’ll find the answer in this book.\r\n\r\nEvery workplace has its own norms, culture, and traditions. If you’re a newcomer particularly in a big company, it would take time to realize that you’re expected to move in a certain way under certain circumstances. Obviously, there are structures and rules that you’ll need to follow should you want to keep your job. If you’ve been a longtime employee, having worked for, say, 10 years or more since the company’s founding, then it’s likely that you yourself was part of the pioneering group that developed those structures and rules.\r\n\r\nHow do you understand the corporate culture? Is it even necessary for you to know and observe its norms? How do you capitalize on them? Is it possible to benefit from the existing corporate culture? Who’s making up the company’s “generally accepted standards”?\r\n\r\nThere are always some intractable issues in every organization—gossip, backstabbing, jealousy, mudslinging, blame games, and a thousand and one others. No matter how often you attend or are sent to seminars, conferences, conventions, or trainings, those issues are almost impossible to resolve. But why is it that we are unable to resolve these issues using the principles we’ve learned from our values education in primary and secondary school?\r\n\r\nCompanies spend a lot of time and money on training. Is this the solution to those corporate issues or does the spending only end up making employees even more adept in engaging in these issues? As an individual, is it that hard to do good than to do bad? Or is this the very reason why, consciously or not, we do bad things?\r\n\r\nIn this book, we will cover these issues and take up some suggested solutions so you need not waste your time and energy in trying to beat the system. Afterwards, perhaps you can even draw your own system and game plan to make the existing system obsolete. When this happens, you’ll become the driver of your own career.\r\n\r\nFinally, in the last chapter, I’ll invite you to move up and raise your own bar. Being an employee doesn’t mean being lowly. It doesn’t mean that someone else owns you and that you’ll have to follow everything you are told to do. If what you do is getting in the way of your personal philosophy and judgment, you always have a choice to pick another journey.\r\n\r\nBeing an employee doesn’t mean that you always have to get a little and your bosses will have too much. It doesn’t take away your right to be happy. Your being a worker doesn’t restrict you from exercising your free will or the freedom to choose and decide for yourself. It is therefore wrong to say, “I have no choice.”\r\n\r\nAs an employee, you are duty-bound to follow certain set procedures. But it shouldn’t restrain you from growing. I think growth is a very important parcel of happiness, too. If you’re no longer growing and the environment you’re working in no longer provides you room for development, it’s time to get out of your post.\r\n\r\nAs a worker, though, you’ll get every opportunity to make your life better every day. This is true for everyone. But not everyone can recognize this opportunity, and that recognition often spells the difference between success and failure. To succeed, you should learn to either recognize an opportunity or create one for yourself.\r\n\r\nLastly, I’ve always been a fan of personal development. I believe that the only way to succeed is to beat every opponent along your way. But by “opponent” here I mean your thinking, your choices, and your actions. Beating these opponents means challenging yourself to continuously improve and do a little bit more—every day.\r\n\r\nOne thing more: I’d like to confess that I’ve always been an employee. And my love for my work and my commitment to my God-given talent have always employed and empowered me to work for yet another day. But for how long? Oh, yes, for as long as I live.\r\n\r\nLloyd A.

It’s because everything that you are becoming every day, everything that you do every moment of your working hours, and probably everything that you think about most of the time, has everything to do with your life as a whole.\r\n\r\nSimply put, even if that question sounds seemingly easy, it’s a powerful key to finally putting to rest every agony, sorrow, and disappointment you have inside you that probably makes you hate either your job or your boss.\r\n\r\nWhen you get to answer that question with a “yes” or a “no,” let me ask you this follow-up question: “Why are you working?”\r\n\r\nSeemingly, that’s an easy question, too. When I ran a short survey on Facebook, in fact, there was no question at all about the answers. It was all about money, livelihood, satisfaction, the absence of choice, fate, and many more. The sentiments were all the same. In sum, we all work for either money or fulfillment or for a combination of both.\r\n\r\nBut of course, one other fact has remained the same as it was thousands of years ago: We all need to work. Even company owners need to work. More often than not, they even work three or four times harder than their employees. Your bosses will need to work, too. Students will need to study. Parents will need to parent their children.\r\n\r\nEverybody will need to move and do something for as long as they live. Is it a punishment by God that when a certain Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit, we all have ended up having to labor to live?\r\n\r\nWell, whether the story is true or not and whatever the answer to that question, the fact is we are all working and we will need to continue to do so to live.\r\n\r\nThis is why I wrote this book. If we don’t have any option but to work for a living, how should we look at our work? If there’s nothing else we can do but to work for a living, how should we respond to this reality? If we could never ever escape a “working” life, then how should we position ourselves in the workplace?\r\n\r\nOur goal here is to understand the real meaning of what we do so we can liberate ourselves from anxiety, from pain, and from frustration due to our poor understanding of our job or of our work. Without expanding our thinking on this very important matter, our limited knowledge can do us more harm than good.\r\n\r\nThis is why some people get sick. It’s not only because of the polluted air or water. It’s also because of our polluted working environment and polluted mindsets. Imagine some people seeing the person they hate every day and trying to figure out how that person might be fired from the company or praying that soon that person will quit his or her job. And what about corporate politics; hasn’t it been there for centuries? We can take the case, too, of an ugly working relationship between the boss and the employees or of a turf war among company workers.\r\n\r\nThe thing is that the way we deal with every issue will define the way we will live our lives at work and at home. And whoever told you that you can separate your work life from your personal life is totally mistaken. It’s simply impossible to do so.\r\n\r\nEverything must have a connection and a relation. That’s why a bad-hair day that started from home can become an entire bad-hair day at work and vice versa.\r\n\r\nIt’s not easy to find a work-life balance, if ever there’s such a thing. Honestly, I believe that work is life itself. That being the case, I don’t think we should even make an effort to balance work and life. It just won’t make any sense. Life, to my mind, can’t be taken away from anything that we do. Life is embedded in every form of labor that we do, every emotion that we feel, every decision that we make.\r\n\r\nLife is what happens.\r\n\r\nAccepting several mysteries at work and at home will make your life easier. That’s what this book is also about. In the following pages, we’re going to find that there’s only a thin line between job and work. We need to learn that difference between the two so we can make informed decisions and sound judgment on what we do.\r\n\r\nObviously, we shouldn’t ask this question: “Are you jobbing?” It’s as misdirected as this question: “Are you working occasionally at separate short jobs?” That’s how Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary defines “jobbing,” which is chiefly British usage.\r\n\r\nSo, is there a distinct difference between job and work? You’ll find the answer in this book.\r\n\r\nEvery workplace has its own norms, culture, and traditions. If you’re a newcomer particularly in a big company, it would take time to realize that you’re expected to move in a certain way under certain circumstances. Obviously, there are structures and rules that you’ll need to follow should you want to keep your job. If you’ve been a longtime employee, having worked for, say, 10 years or more since the company’s founding, then it’s likely that you yourself was part of the pioneering group that developed those structures and rules.\r\n\r\nHow do you understand the corporate culture? Is it even necessary for you to know and observe its norms? How do you capitalize on them? Is it possible to benefit from the existing corporate culture? Who’s making up the company’s “generally accepted standards”?\r\n\r\nThere are always some intractable issues in every organization—gossip, backstabbing, jealousy, mudslinging, blame games, and a thousand and one others. No matter how often you attend or are sent to seminars, conferences, conventions, or trainings, those issues are almost impossible to resolve. But why is it that we are unable to resolve these issues using the principles we’ve learned from our values education in primary and secondary school?\r\n\r\nCompanies spend a lot of time and money on training. Is this the solution to those corporate issues or does the spending only end up making employees even more adept in engaging in these issues? As an individual, is it that hard to do good than to do bad? Or is this the very reason why, consciously or not, we do bad things?\r\n\r\nIn this book, we will cover these issues and take up some suggested solutions so you need not waste your time and energy in trying to beat the system. Afterwards, perhaps you can even draw your own system and game plan to make the existing system obsolete. When this happens, you’ll become the driver of your own career.\r\n\r\nFinally, in the last chapter, I’ll invite you to move up and raise your own bar. Being an employee doesn’t mean being lowly. It doesn’t mean that someone else owns you and that you’ll have to follow everything you are told to do. If what you do is getting in the way of your personal philosophy and judgment, you always have a choice to pick another journey.\r\n\r\nBeing an employee doesn’t mean that you always have to get a little and your bosses will have too much. It doesn’t take away your right to be happy. Your being a worker doesn’t restrict you from exercising your free will or the freedom to choose and decide for yourself. It is therefore wrong to say, “I have no choice.”\r\n\r\nAs an employee, you are duty-bound to follow certain set procedures. But it shouldn’t restrain you from growing. I think growth is a very important parcel of happiness, too. If you’re no longer growing and the environment you’re working in no longer provides you room for development, it’s time to get out of your post.\r\n\r\nAs a worker, though, you’ll get every opportunity to make your life better every day. This is true for everyone. But not everyone can recognize this opportunity, and that recognition often spells the difference between success and failure. To succeed, you should learn to either recognize an opportunity or create one for yourself.\r\n\r\nLastly, I’ve always been a fan of personal development. I believe that the only way to succeed is to beat every opponent along your way. But by “opponent” here I mean your thinking, your choices, and your actions. Beating these opponents means challenging yourself to continuously improve and do a little bit more—every day.\r\n\r\nOne thing more: I’d like to confess that I’ve always been an employee. And my love for my work and my commitment to my God-given talent have always employed and empowered me to work for yet another day. But for how long? Oh, yes, for as long as I live.\r\n\r\nLloyd A.
