QUOTES FROM THE EPISODE

• Everytime there’s a disagreement, we go back to the purpose. And the purpose makes us one again.

• My strength is to innovate, tweak and launch an idea into reality.

• The driving force to success is pain.

• We need to cultivate an attitude of anticipation. Because us, humans, get depressed, upset or mad if ‘yung expectation natin, ‘di natin nakuha. But if we set our minds with different expectations, the impact won’t be that bad.

• You have to clearly see your dreams, you have to believe in yourself, and you have to act on it.
