Hello and welcome to our monthly newsletter. Thank you for being part of our extended family

 

                         Manila

 

Over the last two weeks of May I spent time in Manila a developing some business through our office there. We have a group of enthusiastic practitioners based in Manila and it is a delight to be working closely with them.

 

                   Back to School

 

With many families seeing their children going back to school or college this month, it is worth while to talk about the education of our own minds. Children have 60%.of the vocabulary by age 4. 80% of their character is formed by age 7. When we leave school many people think their education is finished when in fact it is really just commencing.

 

                   Scholarship Team

 

While in Manila I was associating with our team of three staff from our Davao office who are in the RCM Scholarship program at the University of the Philippines in Dilman, Quezon City. It is so rewarding to see the developments ofRoy, Paulo and Archie.

 

                        Wisdom

 

Recently a new book The Steps to Success was released. The book is dedicated to the development of the mind. It states that wisdom is the key to all success. The wealthiest man who every to lived was King Solomon? He is credited with having outstanding wisdom. The main ingredient of wisdom is the ability to rethink what is going wrong and be able to change the thought into a forward thinking. This one ability, which requires commitment, is the start to having brilliance and wisdom.

 

                    Architect Neal

 

Neal Punsalan has been a cornerstone of RCM since its inception. Besides being active in a number of Architectural associations, Neal has been involved in many interesting projects both in the Philippines and overseas. We have paid a tribute to Neal by placing an update of what he has been doing on our online magazine

    Fathers’ Day

 

A very Happy Fathers Day to all Dads. We salute the roles that Fathers play. Leadership is a vital role in all aspects of life, in the home, business, and the community. It is not what we say that people follow, but what we do that impacts those around us.

 

Exciting Projects

 

Much of our recent work has been overseas particularly in the USA . Right now we are actively involved in development projects in Manila and Perth along with our associates in the USA . We have also been involved in looking at a huge family run project that encompasses many development facets in Davao .

 

         To all the Dads from RCM … Class

 

Class is just confidence dressed in humility. It keeps its word, its temper, and its friends. It has a steady eye, a steady nerve, a steady tongue, and steady habits.

 

It’s silent when it has nothing to say, thoughtful when it judges, and it’s always first to make amends when it is wrong.

 

Class doesn’t run scared. It is sure footed, committed, and handles whatever comes along.

 

Class has a sense of humor. It knows that a good laugh is often the best lubricant for oiling the machinery of human relations

 

It is always good to be able to spend time with you through our newsletter. Thanks for your support and best wishes for a wonderful month
