Time really kind of passed me
by. I had never really thought much about my future. Don’t get me wrong, I do care
about my future, but I guess I was the kind who liked to live taking one day at
a time. But there really comes a point in time where you’d have some sort of an
epiphany. And in my case, it has happened last week when I attended Sun Life
Philippines’ #LiveBrighter session with one of the most sought-after
inspirational speakers, Apprentice Asia Season 1 winner Mr. Jonathan Yabut.

The #LiveBrighter session was
held at the artsy A Space Gallery in Legazpi Street, Makati City. To be
perfectly honest, I had no idea who Mr. Yabut was, prior to his talk. But the
minute the young man opened his mouth, I knew instantly he’s no ordinary guy.
My focused got fixed on him as Mr. Yabut shared his journey towards success. He
says that he’s just like everyone else—except that he took all the stumbles,
obstacles and occasional curve balls that come his way as challenges for him to
do his best, rather than hindrances. Mr. Yabut shared lessons from his
experiences on The Apprentice Asia as well as bits and pieces of wisdom from
his book called “From Grit to Great.”
