As I was browsing Youtube looking for KSNS (Kabuhayang Swak na Swak) episodes, I came across with a very nice concept of a water vending machine for the masses. Looks like a very old concept because there already vending machines for canned soft drinks, coffee, bottled mineral water and other stuffs I forgot to mention. But never have I seen a vending machine that you can buy water and bringing your own water container. Some advantages of this concept is a fast service where you don’t have to wait for a long time just for a gallon of purified water and it is cheaper because there is no delivery and cleaning service.
But the drawback is you have to clean your own container first before bringing it to the water station vending machine. Usually, conventional water station will do this service for the customer. And if you just want to drink a glass of cold water, for only one peso you can (insert a coin) to buy purified drinking water with free small plastic bag and a straw.
This is a very rare occasion where two holidays fall in one day. But it’s only the Chinese New Year that don’t have a fixed date because of the use of the Chinese (lunar) calendar to determine the Chinese New Year which is always between January 20 to February 20 of the Gregorian calendar each year. But for determining the Chinese zodiac signs of an individual, the start of the New Year always fall on the 4th day of February (Start of Spring – the first day of the Tiger month).
So for example you are born on February 12 on the year of the metal tiger, your zodiac sign is not Water Ox but Metal Tiger which is contrary to the popular belief of using the Chinese New Year to find the zodiac sign.
So whatever you are celebrating either Valentines Day or Chinese New Year, I wish you the best! Happy Valentines Day and Happy Chinese New Year to everybody!
Below are the free trainings provided by PTTC. The courses seems very short unlike others that last for 2 to 3 days. I have doubts if this is a quality training but hey, nothing beats free so even though they are basic you can at least have an idea if you really like the course you wish to take and if you are not satisfied you can enroll on the more advanced paid trainings. What is important here is you learned something and have a certificate.
When I was still employed, I was very very much eager to know what will be my life if I will leave my job. Since my interest is entrepreneurship I read many articles about being an entrepreneur and one of those I always remember is not to trade time for money. The way I understand that phase is selling my time to an employer. Obviously that is the most important thing in a man’s life that he can exchange money with. Having been there as an employee myself, I can say that no matter what you do to a company, that is the only thing that counts whether you have done a marvelous thing. Even if you care a lot and wanted the company you are working with to be on the cutting edge against it’s competitor. The only thing that the company sees is that you are being paid by the hour by means of punching your time card from the time you enter the workplace and time you leave the office. It will be assessed and computed in the accounting department and then on the payday you will get your payslip. A life cycle of an employee indeed.
But what about an entrepreneur? has he already escaped that kind of life? Maybe one good example I wish to share is my practical day to day living. (Sorry if I misinterpreted this blog to my subscribers thinking that I was one of the big time entrepreneurs who owns chains of businesses.) Beside my online ventures, I was forced to deal with PC repair because my wife have friends who owns computers so who else will do the job for them? OMG! it’s me again to the rescue! I’m doing it for free because I’m so generous and kind ( he he he, no I’m just kidding). I’m doing it for free because of friendship and for word of mouth promotion of course. So one day one of my wife’s friend referred someone who is having trouble on her PC. At first I’m having second thought because I know even if I’m getting paid doing it, it will divide my time doing my online ventures. Guess what? I’m right all along because I spend half a day fixing that computer (and revisit again fixing minor problems for free). So I traded my time for money instead of devoting my time so I can generate passive income.
If you are in the internet business, one of the main problem is a start up capital for promoting your website. That will not be a problem to big companies which can afford advertising their websites. But during this tough times even big companies are cutting costs which is very obvious because of the massive lay-offs. So to make things easier and not costly many are looking for an alternative. Software tools offers automating tasks. For instance, before the word processor was invented, there was a typewriter that needs a skill of a typist and a good vocabulary,grammar and spelling knowledge. If you are using a typewriter and doesn’t posses a good skill like those, I guess you will use up a gallon of liquid paper before you finish a page you are typing. But that will not be a problem with a word processor like Microsoft Word which are loaded with macros to correct your spelling, grammar and indentation.
So comparing that scenario to an internet marketer, there are many things that have to be automated to get things done in a short period of time and less expensive. Personally I’m not a believer on those promising software claiming that can make an automated article, build links to your websites so you can rank on the first page of Google, automated friend adder in twitter and similar strategies which are an internet marketers dream. Many people are becoming victims of those promises because most of us wants instant gratification. I can’t blame anybody for that because I myself want things done in an instant. One example I want to share is my experience to a software called Humming Bird which is an automated twitter friend adder. I really wanted to try this software a long time ago but because it was a little expensive and very doubtful if it will work or not, it took me a long time before trying this. Luckily I had a chance to have this software so I was very happy that finally it will solve my problem gaining additional traffic to my blog.
