Try monotasking and intentional living instead — Why are we so heavily invested in the culture of “hustling” these days? From my vantage point, I can see two polarities: one where the hustler literally died due to a stress-related heart attack, and the other one where the hustler earned millions from multiple streams of income.

However, very few have reached the “unicorn” status, if not countable…

In the race called survival of the fittest, the one who learns to bend reaches the farthest — Let’s face it. The Philippines is a sleeping giant of technological spillovers (Aldaba & Aldaba, 2010). Our people’s skills are competent with that of Western powerhouses. Unless this statement is challenged, our country would never realize its full potential. We are Maharlika.
