Being at the top of the class does not guarantee life success. Having good grades will not mean it will give you wealth. It may give you a better chance though. But most of the time, it would depend on how determined are you to get that fulfillment.
One morning, when we were about to start our review class for the board exams, I remember my friend told one of our classmates that it would be hard for her to succeed in the boards since she's not that serious in her studies. "A ganun, oo mga cum laude kayo. Pero yayaman ka ba talaga diyan? Tingnan natin sino yayaman sa'tin!" She blurted out. My friend is a really naughty guy but he's one of the class achievers. The girl has Japanese blood. They have businesses. I was also one of the average achievers. What she said a long time ago somehow struck me. Would I really get rich?
After the boards, we passed and the girl was one of those who failed. What awaits us after school? The girl went to Japan. We were looking for a job.
A few years passed and I get to connect with them. The girl is working in an electronic company. The guy, I'm sure he has a job. Now, I'm in business. Are we all going to get rich? Who among us will be? Who will find fulfillment?
Learning more about money and business and gaining more experience and track record, there's one thing I'm sure, you don't have to have good grades or be very intellectual but you do have to be smart. What is being smart? It's what we call having common sense.
Making your life simple and thinking about it in simplicity is common sense. How are you going to use your common sense in getting rich or being fulfilled? How are you going to get it in the most simple ways?
Getting rich is simple but never easy. It's so simple it's so boring. You would wish you would do complicated science or calculus instead. But do you prefer to be bored and be rich? I do. Since I know I will be fulfilled if I get really, really, really rich! Or are you fulfilled right now?
I always get the lines like,"I don't aspire to be rich since I'm already contented having a simple life. And I don't want to aspire more since it would make me greedy." Great for them that they are already fulfilled with their life. How I wish a lot of people are fulfilled that way. But behind those words is dishonesty. At the back of their minds they complain for having just a mediocre life. If you are really contented, you won't hear any complaining and blaming inside your head.
If you want to be successful or fulfilled, start with being honest. Honest not only to the people around you but also to yourself. Are you really fulfilled? Or would you prefer to do more and give more?
I didn't settle for only having a secure job and live this life being secure all my life. I preferred to do more and give more to a lot of people. One of my business mentors said that when he became successful, he felt nothing. But when he saw one of his apprentices became successful, it got him into tears. How would you feel if you guided someone and that someone became a huge success?
Sino ang Yayaman sa Amin? It doesn't matter. What I wish is they are all fulfilled. For me, I will only be fully fulfilled when I have really given a lot of blessings to a lot of people. And one way to do that is to be really, really, really rich.

P.S. "All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible."
