4. On teaching one\u2019s child how to handle failures<\/strong>: \u201cParents should explain to their children that failure doesn\u2019t define them as persons,\u201d said Rossana Llenado of AHEAD Learning Inc.<\/p>\nRowena Matti, CEO of Galileo Enrichment Learning Program, Inc., sees nothing wrong with letting children experience disappointments. \u201cAs parents, we need to guide our children on how to manage setbacks. We can\u2019t always shield them from every little setback and failure, but we should know when to step in,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
3. On the role of Science and Math in business: \u201c<\/strong>Math and science education can develop one\u2019s problem solving, critical thinking, analytical, organization and analytical skills\u2014 skillsets that are essential in business,\u201d Rowena said. \u201cBut the quality of our nation\u2019s math education, judging from the low national achievement scores of Filipino students, still needs to improve.\u201d<\/p>\nThe statement is further validated by her own experience with teachers who apply with her organization. \u201cMany of these candidates failed our company\u2019s Math and English diagnostic exams. Such is indicative of their kind of formal education. This is the main reason we invest a lot in the training of every teacher who joins our organization.\u201d<\/p>\n
2. On being an employee turned employer:<\/strong> Evelyn Lao-Yap was an employee before she started her distribution company, Benby Enterprises. Those three years as employee had honed her on certain skills. \u201cWhatever success I experienced when I was an employee, I brought that confidence with me as an employer. I applied the discipline I learned as an employee on how to conduct myself during meetings, how to analyze situations and how to find solutions, to my own business,\u201d she said.<\/strong><\/p>\n1. On making decisions<\/strong>: Adelfa Borro, whose family owns Ted\u2019s Old Timer Lapaz Batchoy, shared, \u201cIn the past, I had made business decisions that were based on gut feel alone. For instance, for prospective spaces for my branches, I relied solely on property developers\u2019 market projections and recommendations. \u00a0These decisions proved to be costly, so I now learned to study the market myself before I put my stamp of approval on what others recommend to me.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Link:\u00a0http:\/\/www.wheninmanila.com\/8-nuggets-of-wisdom-from-gonegosyo-2016-inspiring-filipina-awardees\/ BY SUZY TAPARAN,\u00a0MARCH 11, 2016 Star-studded lineup.
