In the second phase of the study, the deception was revealed. The students were told that the real point of the experiment was to gauge their responses to thinking they were right or wrong. (This, it turned out, was also a deception.) Finally, the students were asked to estimate how many suicide notes they had actually categorized correctly, and how many they thought an average student would get right. At this point, something curious happened. The students in the high-score group said that they thought the

When the results came in, they revealed an enormous performance gap. The best outperformed the worst by a 10:1 ratio. The top programmers were also about 2.5 times better than the median. When DeMarco and Lister tried to figure out what accounted for this astonishing range, the factors that you’d think would matter—such as years of experience, salary, even the time spent completing the work—had little correlation to outcome. Programmers with ten years’ experience did no better than those with two years. The

We need time to think and process the day,week, and month. It is hard when life comes at you so hard and fast it seems all you can do is react. I refuse to be a reactionary.

Ikagai is such a beautiful word. It is the word that describes the intersection of something I love, I am good at, Useful, and people will pay for.

Watching Roy Basa’s story in MMK tonight can’t help but wish that people understood that intergenerational poverty and social immobility is the main problem of our country. Something infrastructure projects cannot overcome.
Strengthening healthcare through PhilHealth and funding the public hospitals helps in solving the number one cause of financial calamity in the Philippines.
K-12 helps in funding the low hanging fruit in education. Making high school graduates employable or equipped for entrepreneurship.

Before you go to elementary you have to graduate from kinder. The financial incentive of CCT helps create senior highschool graduates that hopefully make a dent against inter generational poverty and lack of social mobility
