MAKING FRIENDS

“Friends come and go. Enemies accumulate.” This saying is true. But it is always better to make friends than to make enemies.

Many does not notice that successful men and women in the society have a lot of friends. On the other hand, those who always failed are those who find only few of them.

Friends can help you a lot. To mention a few, among others, your transaction can be expedited if you have a friend who can assist you. Finding solutions to personal problems can be made easy if you have a friend who can turn to. Even at the time of your financial difficulty, you look after a friend who can lend you a help.

The more you have friends, the more you have connections. It is only a matter of personal attitude.

If you are convivial, you can make friends easily. If you also have a cheerful disposition when you mingle in front of the many, yes, you can make friends either. If you are smart, likewise you can make friends. And if you are kind, even in the midst of silence, you can make friends.     

Making friends is a very nice and wonderful thing to do. Make a lot them.

THE ROLE OF ENTREPRENEURS TOWARDS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

According to J.B. Say, entrepreneurs are economic agents who unite all means of production- land of one, the labor of another and the capital of yet another and thus produces a product. By selling the product in the market they pay rent of land, wages to labor, interest on capital and what remain are their profits. They shift economic resources out of an area of lower and into an area of higher productivity and greater yield.

Based on studies, the economic development of a country can be measured on the poverty level and unemployment rate of the people. Lower rate is an indication either that many people do not have sufficient food to eat daily, or the basic needs of the family are not being adequately provided or there maybe failure of the parents to send their children to school, among others. The effect of sluggish economic growth incline many to seek employment across the borders to look for job opportunities. Much worse, domestically, it become now the cause why many had attempt to commit crimes of stealing.

There is no gainsaying that if people have their own job, there will be economic security. They will now have their own source of income. In effect, they can now afford to buy primary necessities of their families such as food and clothing.  Providing decent shelter will no longer be a problem. Parents will not be constraint financially to send their children to school providing them education. One may even afford to buy a vehicle for personal or for family use.

Seeking employment is truly difficult if there are only few job opportunities. Otherwise that would not be the case. Hence, entrepreneurs play an important role to address economic problems, either in the family or in general in the country. Business establishments can offer or create thousands of job opportunities for many. If all are employed and have enough income, such will certainly alleviate poverty across the country.

Besides the job opportunities it can offer, business establishments can greatly help the existing government. More revenues can be raise by the latter which in turn be used in providing basic services to the people.  These are good reciprocal duties and obligations.

Entrepreneurs are the keys to economic development. The direction of national economies, industry or markets can be altered by them.

REACHING DREAMS

The most wonderful thing that ever man can accomplish in his life is to reach his dreams.

Aim high! Shoot for a star! These are inspirational words that often we can hear as an advice the moment we speak on future careers, business plans, and personal goals. Indeed, hearing these words will boost your motivation and morale to continue pursuing your dreams. I remember the time when I was a student in college, these are often my advice to my classmates and friends: “The poorest person in the world are those without dreams in life. We live only once. As soon as our time pass by, it will never return. Therefore, we must work hard on our task at hand. Keep going. Though the odds and adversities may seem insurmountable, yet never quit. There may be a time when we fail, but giving up will surely lead to nothing. As the saying goes- a quitter never win, a winner never quit.” 

Dreams are not easy to reach. It cost a lot of tears, patience, resources, and even pain. But it can be reach.
