I love reading about larger than life stories. I l I love reading about larger than life stories. I love to be reminded that life isn't simply about lasting another day, but an opportunity to do great things. I love to read stories of underdogs who would not give up, of leaders who did not run for cover, and of sinners who transcended themselves. Many of these people had short lives, and lived very unlike today's ideal. But their existence, even the short ones, for better or worse, lives on in the world they touched. #DB #books #thoughts #stories #biographies #life #courage #greatness
Entropy • One of the realities of living in a dy Entropy • One of the realities of living in a dynamic world is that there are many things, forces, that act on us naturally. In physics, the four main ones are gravity, strong and weak forces, and electromagnetism. These forces happen to all of us and to everything, so to deny their power is foolish. No amount of denial will save a man jumping from a sky scraper with no harness nor protection. I find that a lot of the things breaking down in my life and the lives of others have come from failing to respect the physics of life, relying instead on conventions and superstitions passed down without investigation. But the real forces of the world will act and reveal us, not for who we think we are nor think we should be, but who we really are with respect to the forces. • #poetry #poem #energy #entropy #science #consequences #reflection #broken #thoughts

I think the world needs heroes. Real heroes. Not s I think the world needs heroes. Real heroes. Not some influencer. Not some celebrity. Not some official. Not some inspiration or heartthrob. But leaders, problem solvers, mobilizers, builders, healers, and servants. People who will not attempt things because they’re easy or doable or a sure success, but because they’re necessary. I’m extremely grateful to Mayor @vicosotto, @jemanzanero, @diego.lss and the rest of the Pasig LGU for the privilege of being part of their #TAPAT program and for all insight and guidance they provided throughout the development process. I’m also extremely proud of @jannadeguzie and the @storiesofaccess team for the hard work they’ve quietly been pouring into this. This is just Phase 1! #Pasig #finance #fintech #Covid-19 #BridgeAccess #technology #socialimpact #community #hero
Insidious • Like many who have dedicated their l Insidious • Like many who have dedicated their life's work to helping people achieve fulfilling work and fulfilling lives, I feel a lot of frustration with what's going on in the world. But I've also realized that it is important that any corrective actions i take, for myself, my teams, and my areas of influence, must be approached with a high level of thoughtfulness so that I don't end up spreading more of the wrong I am committed to fighting. Poetry helps me in appreciating the many tonal values of life. Philosophy helps me in developing a mindful response to life and not simply falling into one reaction after another. • #DBwords #prose #society #writing #vanity #evil #justice #lifehacks
I ran by the statue of Filipino hero Lapu-Lapu. Ma I ran by the statue of Filipino hero Lapu-Lapu. Made me think of how people are tearing down statues of imperfect people. I really like the Greek idea of a hero, someone ordinary, who, by facing a challenge greater than himself, undergoes a metamorphosis to become the person the situation requires. He doesn’t become perfect (even their gods were flawed). He doesn’t become sinless (in fact his success usually came with traps). And he doesn’t ever become free of adversity, but this time the challenge is not to become the tyrant that greatness many times produces. To me, statues of men are simple reminders to go on your own journey of metamorphosis and achieve a life greater than what you originally could. Don’t worship them. Don’t tear them down. Instead listen to their reminder to respond to your own life’s call. #statue #Makati #run #hero #life #metamorphosis #greatness #journey #mythology

Relaxed and refreshing 10k run. These days, I rare Relaxed and refreshing 10k run. These days, I rarely run for time or distance. Depending on the day, I run to clear my head, or I use a guide from @coachbennett of @nikerunning, or do some active reading with @audible, or spend time with @yasminperucchetti while pushing @elijahbonifacio in his pram. I’ve incorporated a lot more enjoyment into my workflow and I find that leads to more sustainable performance. #running #nike #bonifacioglobalcity #fitness #performance #city #joy #Sunday #free
The Journey • I have this fantasy in my head of The Journey • I have this fantasy in my head of becoming an artist, letting go of the stress of running businesses and community involvements, and escaping to the stories in my head. But these fantasies don’t last long. The importance and the urgency of providing livelihoods, of heeding the call to create, and of addressing great needs in sustainable and scalable ways, quickly steal back my attention. I have had this fantasy of becoming an artist. I realized I already am. • #DB #poem #poetry #artist #journey #awake #drive #words #fantasy
