Speech of John Gokongwei before Ateneo Graduates

This is a speech for ateneans but nonetheless an inspiring read for everyone.




Speech of John Gokongwei before Ateneo Graduates


I wish I were one
of you today, instead of a 77-year-old man, giving a speech you will
probably forget when you wake up from your hangover tomorrow. You may be
surprised I feel this way. Many of you are feeling fearful and
apprehensive about your future. You are thinking that, perhaps, your
Ateneo diploma will not mean a whole lot in the future in a country with
too many problems. And you are probably right. You are thinking that our
country is slipping-no, sliding.
Again, you may be right.

Twenty years ago, we were at par with countries like Thailand, Malaysia,
and Singapore. Today, we are left way behind. You know the facts. Twenty
years ago, the per capita income of the Filipino was 1,000 US dollars.
Today, it's 1,100 dollars. That's a growth of only ten percent in twenty
years.

Meanwhile, Thailand 's per capita income today is double ours; Malaysia,
triple ours; and Singapore, almost twenty times ours.

With globalization coming, you know it is even more urgent to wake up.
Trade barriers are falling, which means we will have to compete harder. In the
new world, entrepreneurs will be forced to invest their money where it
is most efficient. And that is not necessarily in the Philippines. Even
for Filipino entrepreneurs, that can be the case. For example, a
Filipino brand like Maxx candy can be manufactured in Bangkok-where
labor, taxes, power and financing are cheaper and more efficien t-and
then exported to other ASEAN countries. This will be a common
scenario-if things do not change.

Pretty soon, we will become a nation that buys everything and produces
practically nothing. We will be like the prodigal son who took his
father's money and spent it all. The difference is that we do not have a
generous father to run back to. But despite this, I am still very
excited about the future. I will tell you why later.

You have been taught at the Ateneo to be "a person for others." Of
course, that is noble: To serve your countrymen.

Question is: How?

And my answer is: Be an entrepreneur!
You may think I am just a foolish man talking mundane stuff when the
question before him is almost philosophical. But I am being very
thoughtful here, and if I may presume this about myself, being patriotic
as well.

Entrepreneurship is the answer.

We need young people who will find the idea, grab the opportunity, take
risk, and set aside comfort to set up businesses that will provide jobs.

But why? What are jobs?

Jobs are what allow people to feel useful and build their self-esteem.
Jobs make people productive members of the community. Jobs make people
feel they are worthy citizens. And jobs make a country worthy players in
the world market.

In that order of things, it is the entrepreneurs who have the power to
harness the creativity and talents of others to achieve a common good.
This should leave the world a better place than it was.

Let me make it clear: Job creation is a priority for any nation to move
forward. For example, it is the young entrepreneurs of Malaysia,
Thailand, and Singapore who created the dynamic businesses that have
propelled their countries to the top. Young people like yourselves.
Meanwhile, in the Philippines, progress is slow. Very little is new.
Hardly anything is fresh.
With a few exceptions, the
biggest companies before the war-like PLDT, Ayala, and San Miguel-are
still the biggest companies today.

All right, being from the Ateneo, many of you probably have offers from
these corporations already. You may even have offers from JG Summit. I
say:
Great! Take these offers, work as hard as you can, learn everything
these companies can teach-and then leave! If you dream of creating
something great, do not let a 9-to-5 job-even a high-paying one-lull you
into a complacent, comfortable life. Let that high-paying job propel you
toward entrepreneurship instead.

When I speak of the hardship ahead, I do not mean to be skeptical but
realistic. Even you Ateneans, who are famous for your eloquence, you
cannot talk your way out of this one. There is nothing to do but to deal
with it.
I
learned this lesson when, as a 13-year-old, I lost my dad. Before that,
I was like many of you: a privileged kid. I went to Cebu 's best school;
lived in a big house; and got free entrance to the Vision, the largest
movie house in Cebu, which my father owned.

Then my dad died, and I lost all these. My family had become poor-poor
enough to split my family. My mother and five siblings moved to China
where the cost of living was lower. I was placed under the care of my
Grand Uncle Manuel Gotianuy, who put me through school. But just two
years later, the war broke out, and even my Uncle Manuel could no longer
see me through.

I was out in the streets-literally.

Looking back, this time was one of the best times of my life. We lost
everything, true, but so did everybody! War was the great equalizer. In
that setting, anyone who was willing to size up the situation, use his
wits, and work hard, could make it! It was every man for himself, and I
had to find a way to support myself and my family. I decided to be a
market vendor.

Why? Because it was something that I, a 15-year-old boy in short pants,
could do.

I started by selling simple products in the palengke half an hour by
bike from the city. I had a bicycle. I would wake up at five in the
morning, load thread, soap and candles into my bike, and rush to the
palengke. I would rent a stall for one peso a day, lay out my goods on a
table as big as this podium, and begin selling. I did that the whole
day.

I sold about twenty pesos of goods every day. Today, twenty pesos will
only allow you to send twenty text messages to y our crush, but 63 years
ago, it was enough to support my family. And it left me enough to plow
back into my small, but growing, business.

I was the youngest vendor in the palengke, but that didn't faze me. In
fact, I rather saw it as an opportunity. Remember, that was 63 years and
100 pounds ago, so I could move faster, stay under the sun more, and
keep selling longer than everyone else.

Then, when I had enough money and more confidence, I decided to travel
to Manila from Cebu to sell all kinds of goods like rubber tires.
Instead of my bike, I now traveled on a batel-a boat so small that on
windless days, we would just float there. On bad days, the trip could
take two weeks! During one trip, our batel sank! We would have all
perished in the sea were it not for my inventory of tires. The viajeros
were happy because my tires saved their lives, and I was happy because
the viajeros, by hanging on to them, saved my tires. On these long and
lonely trips I had to entertain myself with books, like Gone With The
Wind.

After the war, I had s aved up 50,000 pesos. That was when you could buy
a chicken for 20 centavos and a car for 2,000 pesos. I was 19 years old.
Now I had enough money to bring my family home from China. Once they
were all here, they helped me expand our trading business to include
imports.
Remember that the war had left the Philippines with very few goods. So
we imported whatever was needed and imported them from
everywhere-includin g used clothes and textile remnants from the United
States. We were probably the first ukay-ukay dealers here.


Then, when I had gained more experience and built my reputation, I
borrowed money from the bank and got into manufacturing. I saw that
coffee was abundant, and Nescafe of Nestle was too expensive for a
country still rebuilding from the war, so my company created Blend 45.
That was our first branded hit. And from there, we had enough profits to
launch Jack and Jill.

From one market stall, we are now in nine core businesses-includin g
retail,
real estate, publishing, petrochemicals, textiles, banking, food
manufacturing, Cebu Pacific Air and Sun Cellular.

When we had shown success in the smaller businesses, we were able to
raise money in the capital markets-through IPOs and bond offerings-- and
then get into more complex, capital-intensive enterprises. We did it
slow, but sure.

Success doesn't happen overnight. It's the small successes achieved day
by day that build a company. So, don't be impatient or focused on
immediate financial rewards. I only started flying business class when I
got too fat to fit in the economy seats.

And I even wore a used overcoat while courting my wife-it came from my
ukay-ukay business. Thank God Elizabeth didn't mind the mothball smell
of my coat or maybe she wouldn't have married me.

Save what you earn and plow it back.

And never forget your families! Your parents deni ed themselves many
things to send you here. They could have traveled around the world a
couple of times with the money they set aside for your education, and
your social life, and your comforts.

Remember them-and thank them.

When you have families of your own, you must be home with them for at
least one meal everyday.
I did that while I was building my company. Now, with all my six
children married, I ask that we spend every Sunday lunch together, when
everything under the sun is discussed. As it is with business, so it is
with family.
There are no short cuts for building either one. Remember, no short
cuts.

Saint Ignatius of Loyola, your patron saint, and founder of this
450-year old organization I admire, described an ideal Jesuit as one who
"lives with one foot raised." I believe that means someone who is always
ready to respond to opportunities. Saint Ignatius knew that, to build a
successful organization, he needed to recruit and educate men who were
not afraid of change but were in fact excited by it. In fact, the
Jesuits were one of the earliest practitioners of globalization. As
early as the 16th century, upon reaching a foreign country, they
compiled dictionaries in local languages, like Tamil and Vietnamese, so
that they could spread their message in the local language. In a few
centuries, they have been able to spread their mission in many countries
through education.

The Jesuits have another quote. "Make the whole world your house" which
means that the ideal Jesuit must be at home everywhere. By adapting to
change , but at the same time staying true to their beliefs, the Society
of Jesus has become the long-lasting and successful organization it is
today and has made the world their house.

So, let's live with one foot raised in facing the next big opportunity:
globalization.

Globalization can be your greatest enemy. It will be your downfall if
you are too afraid and too weak to fight it out. But it can also be your
biggest ally. With the Asian Free Trade agreement and tariffs near zero,
your market has grown from 80 million Filipinos to half a billion
Southeast Asians.
Imagine what that means to you as an entrepreneur if you are able to
find a need and fill it. And imagine, too, what that will do for the
economy of our country!

Yes, our government may not be perfect, and our economic environment not
ideal, but true entrepreneurs will find opportunities anywhere. Look at
the young Filipino entrepreneurs who made it. When I say young-and I'm
77, remember-I am talking about those in their 50s and below. Tony Tan
of Jollibee, Ben Chan of Bench, Rolando Hortaleza of Splash, and Wilson
Lim of Abensons.
They're the guys who weren't content with the 9-to-5 job, who were
willing to delay their gratification and comfort, and who created
something new, something fresh. Something Filipinos are now very proud
of. They all started small but now sell their hamburgers, T-shirts and
cosmetics in Asia, America, and the Middle East In doing so, these young
Filipino entrepreneurs created jobs while doing something they were
passionate about.

Globalization is an opportunity of a lifetime-for you. And that is why I
want to be out there with you instead of here behind this podium-perhaps
too old and too slow to seize the opportunities you can.

Let me leave you with one last thought.

Trade barriers have fallen. The only barriers left are the ba rriers you
have in your mind.

So, Ateneans, heed the call of entrepreneurship. With a little bit of
will and a little bit of imagination, you can turn this crisis into your
patriotic moment-and truly become a person for others.

"Live with one foot raised and make the world your house."

To this great University, my sincerest thanks for this singular honor
conferred on me today.

To the graduates, congratulations and Godspeed.

"Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam".

Thank you.

Praise Precedes Victory

"When he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers to sing to the Lord and praise Him in their holy [priestly] garments as they went out before the army, saying, Give thanks to the Lord, for His mercy and loving-kindness endure forever!" (2 Chronicles 20:21, Amp)


Praise precedes victory!

You can see a graphic example of that in 2 Chronicles 20. There, the Bible tells us that a multitude of forces were marching against Israel. The army of Israel was so outnumbered, they literally didn't know what to do. So they fasted and prayed until they received a word from God. "Be not afraid or dismayed at this great multitude; for the battle is not yours but God's."

Do you know what they did in response to that word? They put together a praise choir! That's right. They appointed singers and praisers and sent them out in front of the army! And when that choir began to sing, the Word tells us that "the Lord set ambushments against the men...who had come against Judah, and they were slaughtered."

When it was all over, not one Israelite had fallen--and not one of their enemies had escaped. What's more, when they came to take the spoil, they found so many cattle, goods, garments and other precious things, it took them three whole days to haul it all home.

Now, that's victory! And it all began with praise.

Are you looking for that kind of victory today? Then stand up and shout, "Glory!" After all, you're in the same situation those Israelites were in. You have an army marching against you, but Jesus has already defeated it. He won that battle for you on Resurrection Morning.

All that's left for you to do is trust Him and begin to praise. Sound out those praises today. Speak them, sing them, declare them in the face of your enemy. Once he hears them, he'll know he doesn't even stand a chance.

Lessons from Warren Buffett


There was a one hour interview on CNBC with Warren Buffet, the second
richest man who has donated $31 billion to charity.

Here are some very interesting aspects of his life:

1. He bought his first share at age 11 and he now regrets that he
started too late!

2. He bought a small farm at age 14 with savings from delivering
newspapers.

3. He still lives in the same small 3-bedroom house in mid-town Omaha
, that he bought after he got married 50 years ago. He says that he has
everything he needs in that house. His house does not have a wall or a
fence.

4. He drives his own car everywhere and does not have a driver or
security people around him.

5. He never travels by private jet, although he owns the world's
largest private jet company.

6. His company, Berkshire Hathaway, owns 63 companies.

He writes only one letter each year to the CEOs of these companies,
giving them goals for the year. He never holds meetings or calls them on
a regular basis.
He has given his CEO's only two rules. Rule number 1: do not lose any of
your share holder's money. Rule number 2: Do not forget rule number 1.

7. He does not socialize with the high society crowd. His past time
after he gets home is to make himself some pop corn and watch Television.

8. Bill Gates, the world's richest man met him for the first time only
5 years ago. Bill Gates did not think he had anything in common with
Warren Buffet. So he had scheduled his meeting only for half hour. But
when Gates met him, the meeting lasted for ten hours and Bill Gates
became a devotee of Warren Buffet.

9. Warren Buffet does not carry a cell phone, nor has a computer on
his desk.

His advice to young people: "Stay away from credit cards and invest
in yourself and Remember:
A. Money doesn't create man but it is the man who created money.
B. Live your life as simple as you are.
C. Don't do what others say, just listen to them, but do what you
feel good.
D. Don't go on brand name; just wear those things in which u feel
comfortable.
E. Don't waste your money on unnecessary things; just spend on them
who really in need rather.
F. After all it's your life then why give chance to others to rule
our life."

Saint Peter's List

A priest dies and is waiting in line at the Pearly Gates.
Ahead of him is a guy who's dressed in sunglasses, a loud shirt, leather jacket and jeans.

Saint Peter addresses him, "Who are you, so that I may know whether or not to admit you into the Kingdom of Heaven?"

The guy replies, "I'm Joe Cohen, taxi driver, from New York."

Saint Peter consults his list. He smiles and says to the taxi driver, "Take this silken robe and golden staff and enter the Kingdom of Heaven ."
Now it's the priest's turn. He stands erect and booms out, "I am the Right Reverend Joseph Snow, pastor of Saint Mary's for the last forty-three years."

Saint Peter consults his list. He smiles and says to the priest, "Take this cotton
robe and wooden staff and enter the Kingdom of Heaven ."

"Just a minute," says the priest. "That man was a taxi driver. Why does he get a silken robe and golden staff?"

"Results," shrugged Saint Peter.
"While you preached, people slept. When he drove, people prayed."

Ang Sulat ni Itay

Minamahal kong anak,
Medyo mabagal akong mag type ngayon dahil alam kong mabagal kang magbasa. Nandito na kami sa probinsya para tirahan ang bagong bili na bahay. Pero  hindi ko maibigay sa iyo ang address dahil dinala ng dating nakatira ang  number para daw hindi na sila magpapalit ng address. Maganda ang lugar na ito at malayo sa Manila . Dalawang beses lang umulan  sa  linggong ito, tatlong araw noong una at apat na araw noong pangalawa. Nakakainis lang ang mga paninda dito katulad nung nabili ko na shampoo, ayaw bumula. Nakasulat FOR DRY HAIR kaya hindi ko binabasa ang buhok ko pag  ginagamit ko. Mamaya ay ibabalik ko sa tindahan at magrereklamo ako. Noong isang araw naman ay hindi ako makapasok sa bahay dahil ayaw bumukas  ng padlock. Nakasulat kasi ay YALE, eh aba namalat na ako sa kasisigaw  ay  hindi pa din bumubukas. Magrereklamo din ako sa nagbenta ng bahay, akala  nila hindi ko alam na SIGAW ang tagalog ng YALE, wise yata ito!
Mayroon nga pala akong nabili na magandang jacket at tiyak na magugustuhan  mo. Ipinadala ko na sa iyo sa dahil medyo mahal daw dahil mabigat ang mga  botones kaya ang ginawa ko ay tinanggal ko na lang ang mga botones at  inilagay ko na lang sa bulsa ng jacket. Ikabit mo na lang pag dating  diyan. Nagpadala rin ako ng tseke para sa mga nasalanta ng bagyo, hindi ko na pinirmahan dahil gusto ko na maging anonymous donor.
Ang kapatid mo palang si Jhun ay may trabaho na dito, mayroon siyang 500  na  tao na under sa kanya. Nag-gugupit siya ngayon ng damo sa memorial park,  okey naman ang kita above minimum ang sahod. Nakapanganak na rin pala ang  ate baby mo, hindi ko pa alam kung babae o lalake kaya hindi ko pa masasabi  na kung ikaw ay bagong uncle or auntie.
Isa pa nga pala, babalik ako diyan sa Oktubre pero naguguluhan ako. Di ba  yung Victory Liner, BLTB Liner, Pascual Liner at Alfonso Liner ay mga  pampasaherong bus. Yung Panty Liner, bus din ba yun? Saan ba ang Terminal  nila? At saka nga pala, me nag-interview sa akin diyan at nakalimutan kong banggitin sa iyo taga Magandang Umaga Bayan daw siya at nakunan ako sa TV  ang tanong sa akin ay ano raw sa salitang english ang Kulangot. Di ko  nasagot... ikaw anak, alam mo?
Wala na akong masyadong balita. Sumulat ka na lang ng madalas ha.
Love,
Tatay
P.S. Maglalagay sana ako ng pera kaya lang ay naisara ko na ang envelope. Next time na lang ha.

Unemployed Graduate

An unemployed graduate woke up one morning and checked his pocket. All he had left was $10. He decided to use it to buy food and then wait for death as he was too proud to go begging. He was frustrated as he could find no job, and nobody was ready to help him.


He bought food and as he sat down to eat, an old man and two little children came along and asked him to help them with food as they had not eaten for almost a week. He looked at them. They were so lean that he could see their bones coming out. Their eyes had gone into the socket.

With the last bit of compassion he had, he gave them the food. The old man and children prayed that God would bless and prosper him and then gave him a very old coin.

The young graduate said to them "you need the prayer more than I do".

With no money, no job, no food, the young graduate went under the bridge to rest and wait for death. As he was about to sleep, he saw an old newspaper on the ground. He picked it up, and suddenly he saw an advertisement for people with old coins to come to a certain address.

He decided to go there with the old coin the old man gave him. On getting to the place, he gave the proprietor the coin. The proprietor screamed, brought out a big book and showed the young graduate a photograph. This same old coin was worth 3 million dollars. The young graduate was overjoyed as the proprietor gave him a bank draft for 3 million dollars within an hour. He collected the Bank Draft and went in search of the old man and little children.

By the time he got to where he left them eating, they had gone. He asked the owner of the canteen if he knew them. He said no but they left a note for you. He quickly opened the note thinking it would lead him to find them.

This is what the note said: "You gave us your all and we have rewarded you back with the coin" Signed God the Father, The Son and The Holy Ghost. 1 Kings 17:10-16; Matthew 11:28-30

Have you given all to Jesus Christ? If you haven't, do so today and he will surprise you.
