Discontentment
Please take a moment to read this wonderful reflection from the book WOMEN ON THE JOURNEY:
Have you ever wished that things were somehow different for you? Have you ever found yourself asking questions like, "HoW come my sister enjoys her job while I don't? I wish I had a different job." or "Why am I lonely while others are being loved?" Or maybe you could have expressed regrets like, "I could have been successful in my career like my best friend"; and many other wishes and longings just like these.
We may find ourselves in this kind of trap. Instead of enjoying what we have and where we are, we constantly whine and complain. We envy what other people have. We think that the world is unfair because others get all the breaks while we sit in a corner, waiting for who-knows-what.
All of us may have felt this way at least once in our lives. while there, in the soles of the discontented soul, many things happen in our hearts. When we constantly look at what others have, we rob ourselves of joy. We fail to recognize that what we have right here and now may actually be enough to make us happy. For instance, we may not have a high-paying-job, but we have the privilege to work with great officemates and a pleasant boss. Or, do women who gave up their careers for their families realize that building a healthy family is a success in itself?
The world will be a happier place if people would just learn how to appreciate what God gives them. So if you're one of those wearing the "discontentment shoes:, I urge you to take them off and never wear them again. Instead of looking at what others have, take inventory of what you have. You may find that what you have is exactly what you need. (Read 1 Timothy 6:6-8)

Are You A Real Estate Millionaire?
Have you ever dreamed of becoming a real estate millionaire? Some say that being in the real estate business is where the real fortune comes in, especially, if you made your first sale. And if you made your first sale, chances are you’ll get another, and another, and another, until you’ve reached that goal of yours to become a millionaire. I remembered a few years back when a friend of mine offered me a house. She was a real estate agent. Though, I didn’t buy the house because it was too costly for me. I don’t even know if she made her first sale though after that, and where she is now. Another relative of mine was also into real estate business, although he didn’t become a millionaire. I think he went into another job. Well, it’s really tough being in this business. You either become successful or not. But how does one become successful?
Benjamin Franklin once said that “there are no gains without pains”. It is true. Real estate success means that you have to have lots of pains, lots of sacrifices at first in order for you to become successful. Try and try until you succeed. It could be that making your first million will come in about 2 years or so. It all depends on how determined you are in your goal. You can also make money in investing in real estate. I think there are people who have been successful and are making fortune out of investing in real estate.
But who has achieved success in the real estate industry, you might want to ask? There are lots of famous people who have been successful in this business, and who have also received their failures too in the past. To name a few, there are the likes of famous real estate tycoon Donald Trump; there is Donald Bren, currently the richest property tycoon in the world, who built his first home with a loan; also William King-director of UAE Dubai Property Properties; and many more. All of them had their shares of success stories in the real estate.
So if you want to try investing in the real estate, you may want to learn some tips from the tycoons. They too had their first million before establishing themselves as the moguls in the realty kingdom. You can either read their biographies to feel inspired when you go into this business. Their real estate wealth secrets aren’t as hard as you think. If you read some of their stories, then all of them had one thing in common. They didn’t give up. It’s true that they have failed a couple of times, but they never gave up. Even in times of economic crisis, they saw that as a challenge to them and got their feet back on the ground. Who knows, maybe with hard work and a lot of determination, you too could be the next real estate millionaire, or even the next tycoon billionaire.

Secrets of Real Estate Wealth Revealed?

Is there such a thing as real estate wealth secrets? Can billionaire tycoon like Donald Trump, and other rich people share their secrets of success with someone? Probably they won’t reveal every thing to you how their businesses work. What they can tell you is how they have strived really hard in order for them to become who they are now.
Investing in real estate needs a lot of time, passion, and the knack of knowing what you’re into. You must have a goal in order to reach that dream of becoming a real estate millionaire. Being in the real estate industry has bestowed many with wealth and richness. Some have failed, while others never gave up and became millionaires, even billionaires in their own makings.
Making money in the real estate industry is hard work. But how do you make money in the real estate? There are lots of books in stores about investing in the real estate business. Buying and selling properties are what makes it profitable in the real estate. Some would buy cheap property, remodel it, and then resell it again for profit. Ain’t that hard is it? But of course it would take time to do that, especially if you don’t have enough money to buy a property. But if you do have savings, be careful in choosing a property if you want to invest in the real estate. A good investor can locate a cheap house that is in poor condition, but is in an appreciating neighborhood. When remodeling it, make sure to get a good contractor, with excellent craftsmanship, and also make sure to have high-quality materials. Of course, if you’ve built a very nice property then you’ll need contacts. Get a good real estate agent. That agent may also have business contacts that he or she can set you up with business professionals.
A real estate success can be determined by how much profit you’ve gained selling a property or estate. And after making that first success sale, you will have that driving force to do it again, buying a property, selling it higher, and so on and so forth. It is that first taste of success that makes you excited to win in the business. After all, success is all in the mind. You can have anything you want. You just have to make that dream of yours a reality. Having to work hard to achieve your dream.
However, if you failed the first time, they try it again the next time and never give up. This is what some rich people have been doing. Never giving up on their failures. Some have started from scratch. Philippines too also has a fair share of success stories from some of the famous real estate businessmen. You might say that their real estate wealth secrets are not secret at all. All you need is hardwork and determination to be successful in life. As Albert Einstein said : “In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.”

General Nakar, Quezon
It was a long road trip to General Nakar in Quezon Province, not to mention a very "zigzaggy" road trip that I almost vomit inside the vehicle. Good thing I brought along a candy with me. Anyway, if you're coming from Quezon city, you're route will be from Marcos Hi-way going to Antipolo City then Tanay; Morong; Theresa; Laguna; then you'll reach Quezon Province. It's a 4 hour ride going there. There's another route going to Quezon from Marikina, i think, but some people said that it's a very rough road from there.
General Nakar is a 1st class municipality in the province of Quezon, Philippines.
