ToOT yoUr hOrN!

Doc Rod’s report on Productivity and Industrial Organization Structure made me realize the importance of teamwork and communication. Our ever humble professor, Dr. Bari (Vice Chancellor for Administration and Finance) shared once again his breath taking encounters as an administrator, calling it ‘learnings’. The cappuccino coffee served this morning made my morning complete.

Doc Randy (6th placer in the CE board examination) treat us with a free lunch at Mandarin Tea Garden. With Doc Jean, I was (again) able to have my favourite buko shake. Thanks to Doc Randy for celebrating my birthday in advance.

TOOT YOUR HORN!
We were in Chowking this afternoon munching a bowl of cold halo-halo and a pair of butchi (courtesy of Doc Woody) despite of the low temperature brought by the rain. I didn’t chill that afternoon (which I usually do after eating halo-halo). Probably because our discussion brought me the ‘emotional’ warmth I needed that moment I was with them. It was Doc Bebot who shared about the importance of ‘tooting our horns’. Image is very important, especially for us Filipinos. How do we do it? It is only a matter of introducing ourselves without boasting. We just mention facts and we do it humbly (without carrying our own bench). So, I may say, we MUST toot our horns when the situation calls. It takes a lot of practice though but it’s never late to start.

We dream to become consultants someday. No guts, no glory. Dream big! But for the meantime, we’ll toot our horns first.

With free ride, free lunch and free snacks together with my new found friends, am I not lucky?
