Metro Manila (CNN Philippines) – The path to an unforgettable career is always charged with grit and willpower, as most motivational books say.
To get to your goal, we’re told we must struggle and work hard. There’s so much value placed on persistence and perseverance. Many believe these separate the good from the great.
But sometimes, we need to take things in stride. We can’t always give our 200 percent to winning the season’s game, aiming for that much-awaited promotion, or even getting her to eventually say “yes.”
Amid the challenges we encounter, what can ensure our success is taking a swabe time to relax.
Primera Light Brandy shares four stories of how a swig at something swabe can help you achieve your dreams.
Kevin Ferrer and Aljon Mariano are star players of PBA’s Barangay Ginebra San Miguel, and they both run businesses of their own. Ferrer has opened his own gym in Makati City, while Mariano is on his way to becoming a restaurateur after opening a store in Paranaque.
The two players have always got each other’s backs, both in game and in life, as they continue on learning together. But their key to success: they never forget to relax and unwind.
Alvin Aguilar, the first Filipino black belter to win the World Jiu-jitsu Championships in 2010, is the founder of two different martial arts teams in the country. He is also the President of the Wrestling Association of the Philippines. As a full-time businessman and family man, he still has time to hang out with members of the fraternity he’s been an active member in.
At the end of the day, Aguilar knows how to take a swabe break.
Actor and model Carlo Sawit has got it all: the looks, the body, the smarts, and an adventurous spirit to try out new experiences. This marketing management graduate delved into acting in various commercials. He’s now a public servant after being elected as councilor in his hometown of Pura in Tarlac. And as President of their town’s councilor’s league, he is automatically a board member in Tarlac.
Where does Sawit get his energy from? Here’s what he has to say.
Silent Sanctuary is one of the well-known Filipino rock bands. Their unique blend of classical string instruments with more contemporary band set-ups makes them a stand out among other musicians. Known for its popular songs such as “You Only,” and “Kundiman,” Silent Sanctuary has been experimenting with their music since 2001 to bring us their hit singles of today.
How do they let go, and relax?
These four stories prove that having swabe time to yourself is just as important as working hard — because staying swabe in life is a practical step in recharging yourself as you meet your goals.
