The 4 minutes film made by PhilDev Foundation about Dado
Banatao is great. The film is all about a man who lives in poverty in his past
life until he become a successful entrepreneur in terms of technology. Living
in poverty does not mean that you can't accomplish a certain goal in your life.
The most important part of your life is to do what is the best thing to do.
Giving your best in studying and hard work to achieve your most precious goal
in life. Being poor doesn't mean you stop studying and aim for your goals. If
you have the skills and knowledge you can be successful someday. Like me, I
don't stop in achieving my goals, I challenge myself and face the struggles
along my journey so that I will become a successful person in the near future.
There are times that we need time to think for our better future. In my
experience, I saw many poor families inside and outside the city and their
children go to school without having any things like bag, pencil, ball pen, and
even slippers. But they want to go to the school and learn and be successful. I
saw many children who walks from their home to go to school. And the road they
take is too steep, rocky, or even they across mountains, and bridges, so that
they can go to school and learn. I am so touched by them, seeing them is just doing your part
that you aim for your goals in life as hard as you can, and that's the children
aims for to become successful in life. There are many types of people and
children depends on their passion in life, if they want to continue their
dreams and become successful, They must focus on their mindset to, go to
school, study hard, get good grades, and get a job after they get their
diplomas in graduation. But some children want to go to school to study and
learn, but their parents declined because they don't have money to enroll and
proceed their education. For me, their parents are all wrong, they must support
their children to go in school, because it is them their children is the key to
their families to be successful and live a wonderful life. There are many
schools who offer free tuition to children who wants to study. Because the
government wants to help children who don't have money to go to school and
learn what they want. There are also people who wants to help and donate money
for the education and to improve their learning's inside a classroom. For an
example, the government and other people helps to donate TV for education
purposes in every classroom in every public schools who needs improvements in
their system, so that the teachers can provide better knowledge in teaching
their students. And the students will be smart enough to have better knowledge
to think for better ideas that will contributed in the community and within our
country.
Dado Banatao is very well known throughout our country
and even in the whole world. For me, those who know him is that they know,
learn, and research technology and about his success in the world of
technology. He is a good person who never quit and losses hope, and he study
hard so that he can become a successful person someday. He is one of the great
inventor also, without him, we can't use this computers and laptops nowadays.
For me, without him and his invention , our computers and laptops nowadays will
not work properly and become more powerful. He also known being the Bill Gates
of the Philippines. Well, we know about Bill Gates and Steve Jobs who become
successful in life with their ideas and making new high tech technologies and
developing it further until nowadays. For me, there is no limit that a person
can't reach, if they love something they must do it and they must find a
solution to make it better and make it to develop. We all know that each people
in the world: students, children, parents, soldier, and everyone else had a passion
in life, and they want to achieved it and become successful, but in some cases,
as time goes by, and they know that they can't reach their goals, then they
don't want to continue to aim for it and give up. And find suitable goals for
their life as they live. Dado Banatao is one of the student and a child who
excel in his studies and further study more about his big ideas and goals in
his life. For me, he is like Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, that Dado Banatao aims
for success in life as well as Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, who makes their own
company and works together to develop something new. But Dado Banatao is proud
of being a Filipino and carry our country's name for his success in life.
Because of his great knowledge about thinking good ideas in the world of
technology, he invented and design the first PC Chipset. This PC chipset is a
great help inside a computer because it is a set of electronic components in an
integrated circuit that manages the data flow between the processor. Because of
his design in PC chipset, nowadays it becomes more powerful and with new
technology in making it. For me, Dado Banatao serves as an important person who
contributed in the world of technology with his great ideas in developing it.
And making our Personal Computers and Laptop more responsive, powerful, and
many more. And also, like Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, and Dado Banatao they will
become an example for all students, people, and other person to change their
mindset to learn more about technology and make new technologies to be
contributed in our world. Because nowadays, developing and implementing new
technologies is so fast with the contribution of every great people who have
great ideas. For me, for myself and for other students, we can become
successful in life, because we must do is to learn, study, and have knowledge
to share and be implemented to the community. By doing this, even if we are
still studying, we can become great person in terms of knowledge.
So Dado Banatao tell his story of his struggles,
problems, and many more in his childhood days until he become successful in
life. Also, he share his feelings and how did he get through of all his
problems and pursue his goals. Dado Banatao tells his experiences he gets from
place to place, from other people, and how he react to his new environment and
how did Dado Banatao face his problems every day and how did he find a quick
solution or how did he do to pass his problems and fears in life. For me, as he
still studying in his elementary days, he had many problems in life, especially
his needs like things used for school like pencil, paper, and especially money
for buying snack or food. But for me, things like that don't affect his mindset
to study hard, and further he will be a good knowledgeable man in the future.
Every day, he encounter another problems and fears to face the real world, as
he wants to learn more in school rather to stop study and left his dreams. For
me, he is a very smart person who thinks great idea to solve and counter his
problems in life. He study very well in school and learn all the things that
the teacher teaches him and understand it and apply to the real world, so that
his father will be proud at him, and their life will be full refresh with hope
and success in the future. As he study very well, he may become an example for
every child in his hometown to become a better person by pursuing their goals
and go to school to learn and understand it. And encouraging the children who
stop to go to school to go back and study again and dream again to aim their
goals in life and be successful like Dado Banatao. His father works very hard
so that he can pay Dado Banatao's tuition in school. For me, Dado Banatao
assures that his father's effort will not be wasted, because not all the
children can go to school because of the cost in tuition. So Dado Banatao is
very lucky to go to school because he wanted to learn and become successful and
learned many new discoveries and understand them. I think he wants to be a
person who will change the world despite in many problems, and be an example to
the children around the world who losses hope and stop studying. And by his
success, his family especially his father is very happy to see his son, Dado
Banatao, that all his hard work in life is worth it.
Dado Banatao and his father live in a rural area in the
Philippines. Living in a rural is a very difficult way of living especially in
the our country Philippines. Because living in rural is very far away from the
cities and towns in a certain place. For me, living in a rural area isn't fun,
because there is no buildings, electricity, and it's very hard to see products
from the cities and towns, because of the distance. But most of the poor
families enjoy staying in a rural area because they are free from the hazards
from the cities like the buildings who makes chemicals and many more. And in
rural have fresh air to breathe in. In rural areas, they don't know about
technology, or even they don't know what is it and they don't what is it looks
like. Well most of the people in a rural areas works in their farm, some people
go fishing. That's the way of living in a rural areas. Even the young children
helps their parents to work, to earn for living. Living in a rural area is a great
help to the people who are in the cities and town, because the people needs
rice for their daily needs. And the people in the rural area, cultivates the
land, and plant and harvest rice every year and be delivered to the cities and
towns. Dado Banatao's father is a farmer in their area. And he works hard to
support his families especially his son, Dado Banatao. For me, their earnings
is just enough for them to buy their daily needs just like their food for
breakfast, lunch, and dinner. And his father's earnings is enough for his son,
Dado Banatao's tuition for his studies and for his daily needs in the school.
For me, they loved each other and supports each other in terms of problems in
their daily life. And they work hard both, whereas his father work hard in the
farm to earn money and be exposed to the sun whole day, and his son, Dado
Banatao go to school every day to learn new things and understand them. Dado
Banatao's spend his childhood and elementary days in playing around with his
friends and studying his lessons every day. I have experienced this kind of
things when I was a grade 1 student here in the city. Where I go to my friends
house and we play every weekend or after the school class ended. We are very
happy to play with each other , and by playing, we can discover new things,
exploring another places and we can understand it when we grow enough, and each
evening, I study my lessons and finish my homework to be submitted to my
teacher in the next day. Remembering your childhood days is very fun, and
usually you should go laugh when remembering it. Dado Banatao and his father
live in a typical Barrio in Cagayan Valley, where Dado Banatao and his father
and other people live their without electricity or any telephone or any
communication devices. Based on my experience, living without an electricity is
very difficult to live in especially when the sun goes down, it is very dark in
night, and you can't see anything from it. Nowadays, most of the cities and
towns, they need electricity to work in their places, because it's the source
of energy in the whole world. Based on my experience now, I see many people get
angry right away if a brown out occurs in their places, because they need it
badly, even if the brown out will take only 10 to 1 hour. Some other places
especially outside the city and towns like living in a rural areas, the
government and other people support their needs and to improve their life
style, they donated and put some solar panels in rural areas, to help them so
that they can use electricity nowadays. It is a great help to rural areas to
produce electricity for free. Making new technology nowadays is very easy to
develop because of good ideas and recent ideas that has been made already. Many
technologies right now that produces enough energy and electricity to do light
and heavy works.
When he is still a child in their hometown, Dado Banatao
and his friends, they usually plays some Filipino games like patentero, rolling
the tires around with the use of stick, and many more. I think Dado Banatao
enjoy his childhood with the people around him and his friends who help each
other in needs of problems. In my experience, I spend my life in playing with
my friends in my childhood, but when I transfer and go to school in Davao, at
the age of 7 I started playing computer games. Because I was a kid that day,
and first time to transfer here in Davao City, my whole environment changed
that day, new house, new neighbours, and
new friends. And going to the new school, I feel so different from them, but
luckily I am desperate to get along with them in a short period of time. Dado
Banatao's mindset that day is to study and learn inside the classroom. I think
he is doing also self study in order to have better understanding within in. It
is shown in the video, Dado Banatao said that he learned math by moving the
bamboo sticks. For me, I think that because of lack of materials in their area,
the teachers can't provide better teaching to teach their students. The
teachers teach math for them with the use of bamboo sticks, because the
students in their area don't have a pencil and a paper or anything that could
write. And also the teachers don't have any materials to write down their lessons,
so the alternative to teach the children is to teach them with an example like
the bamboo sticks. And because Dado Banatao is very smart and talented, when
the school class ended, he didn't stop on studying math until he is satisfied
and until he understand it. But nowadays, the government and other people and
charities, they provide the needs of the children in school, they are donating
basic things that the children will used in their studies like pencils, papers,
bags, crayons, and many more. And they donated chairs and materials in every
school especially the schools that are outside the cities and towns like rural
areas to provide the teachers with enough materials to teach their students.
And the students will be comfortable to learn and they will be happy. And some
organizations offers some seminars to the teachers for free, so that it will
provide more ideas and knowledge to them, and used them to teach , so that the
students will learned more and understand the things they don't know and be educated.
When Dado Banatao is playing outside of their home, he
see no luxuries anywhere. Because it's a rural area, everybody who lives in
their can't afford in buying expensive things that can be displayed or used by
other people in his area like for an example is cars. For me, it is very rare
to see someone could buy a car especially in his childhood whereas the
Philippines is still developing and people in rural areas don't have enough
money to buy one. Dado Banatao and his friends go to school every day to learn
about new things. Until such time that Dado Banatao and his friends and other
classmates finished grade 1, grade 2, grade 3,grade 4, grade 5 and grade 6.
Because of their dedication, they didn't give up and stop learning from the
school, they want to finished studies because they want to be a successful
person in the near future and help their families to live in a successful life.
But we all know there are some circumstances that need a decision in every step
we made. When Dado Banatao finished his elementary education, he is very happy
that he graduated in elementary education. And after that Dado Banatao is ready
to take up his high school education. But his fellow classmates who graduated
don't want to proceed to high school,
because it is enough for them to know the basics of the things they want
to learn, because they want to help their parents in the fields to farm, to
work, and earn money for their families. For me, his fellow classmates didn't
understand the meaning of education, or just because they want to work in their
young age and live their life as a farmer forever by helping their parents, and
don't want to be a successful after they find a very good job after they
graduated in college. But Dado Banatao's father never asked him to help him in
the farm after he graduated in elementary education. The father of Dado Banatao
wanted him to be a better person and be a successful person , and not just
working in the fields, to farm and work whole day like his father. Because his
father said that his job as a father is to work hard and provide food for his
family especially his son, Dado Banatao. And Dado Banatao's job is to go to
school and study and finished his studies so that he will become successful in
life as he graduated in college to use his knowledge to get a job and create
something new that can be contributed to the community.
Dado Banatao is determined by hearing his father saying
that to him, because he loves his father very much, and Dado Banatao knew that
his father is working very hard for him to finish his study, and he can achieve
his goals. And after he graduated in elementary education, he want to study in
high school and further continue his journey to become successful in life. So
when the time comes that he is ready , he go and study in high school whereas
his new school and his hometown is very far. So I think, this is the first
where Dado Banatao see a city in his life. Where City is very different from
rural areas. Dado Banatao needs to adopt his new environment as well as seeking
for the best opportunity by getting along with his new classmate. Based on my
experience, as I go in high school, I feel so great that I can't even talk
because the school was great, but I asked myself that day, how will I succeeded
this new opportunity to go to high school, adopting the new environment around
us, and getting along with new people, teachers, and classmates. Luckily, I
have a few classmates from elementary who will study where I am going to. Unlike
Dado Banatao, his elementary classmates stop and help their parents in fields
to farm. So It is very hard for Dado Banatao because he don't anyone, unless he
will start getting along with his new classmates from the city. First of all,
he feels inferior to others, especially to his new classmates and also from
higher years: 2nd year, 3rd year, 4th year. I think he feels insecure because
he said that he is a son of a farmer. Based on my experience, whereas I am
still a 1st year student in high school, We first years especially my new
classmates is very afraid of the higher years, we can't even look to their
faces or even talk, because we think that they must hurt us or they must scare
us because of their status of being the superior of all levels. But I think
Dado Banatao feels the same as I feel as I enter high school. It is all part of
life, facing new problems in high school, challenging subjects and events. And
for sure that Dado Banatao misses his father very much because both of them
won't see each other for how many years whereas Dado Banatao will visit his
father sometime or on vacation. So time goes by, Dado Banatao is getting along
with his new classmates, until such time that his friends plays basketball, but
he didn't play, but to study beside them while his friends are playing. For me,
Even Dado Banatao wants to play basketball with his classmates, he prioritize
his studies than playing regular games or just having fun with his classmates.
Dado Banatao is an example of a good student without having temptations in
every step in life, he wants to study and be successful.
When Dado Banatao study hard in his high school days, he
face many problems and struggles in life. For me, nothing is impossible for him
if he wants to be a successful man. Until the time comes that he also graduated
in his secondary education. For me, he is very smart, even if he is from the
rural area and away from his father, he didn't lose hope, he is desperate to
change his future so that it will help both of them. Until the time skip, Dado
Banatao graduated from college. He is one of the kind, and a great example for
everybody who losses hope out there. And for me, those classmates from his
elementary days will be amaze at him and hope so that they realize if they
don't stop in studying , then they could be as Dado Banatao right now. And I
know, his father is very happy because all his hard work from the field to farm
, is worth it , because his dream become successful that his son, Dado Banatao,
graduated from college and soon have a job, and have a better life. We all know
that, because of great knowledge and specially love from his father and hard
work makes him the best son and Dado Banatao is very proud at his father. Dado
Banatao fell in love with engineering, he get the degree of engineering when he
graduated in college. Because he wanted to build things. For me, because of his
passion he chooses to become an engineering because he is capable and love to
build new things, new technologies and make new designs and implement it. After
he gets his diploma after the graduation, he search for job anywhere in the
Philippines, but unfortunately, he didn't find any job in the Philippines,
because there are no design jobs for engineers in the Philippines. So he
decided and moved to go the America to seek better opportunity to find good
jobs. Because he is going to the America, he expect that he can get a job
easily because he is very smart and knowledgeable throughout engineering. We
all know that if we get a job in the America, we can get high salaries
especially if your an engineer. Until he wants to study again further to
improve his skills and capabilities and improving his ideas to solve and make
new designs. He study again and applied for masters in engineering in Stanford
university. He is very smart because he enrolled in a very well known schools
in the world, for the best students who are really intelligent. Because we all
know that, Stanford university is one of the world's leading research and
teaching institutions. You can't go here if you are not smart enough to handle
big problems, like thesis and many more. When he studied at Stanford
university, he is very excited because he can meet new friends and his
classmates are smarter than him. For me, all the people who studied in the
Stanford university are all smart and knowledgeable, but all of them have
different unique characteristics in their own ways to present their knowledge
to other person. So Dado Banatao studied twice as hard as his fellow classmates
studied their lesson. For me, as he studied again to take up masters in
engineering, he is very talented and very hard working to get his masters
degree. He didn't stop in learning, he wanted to gain more knowledge through
studying so that he can make, develop, and implement his ideas.
So after many years and researching he finally become
successful because Dado Banatao aims for the best opportunity and because of
this, he designed better computer chips. He is the first person who design the
first PC chipset, because of that his design evolves in decades and until now,
our computers and laptops won't work without a chipset. For me, he is one of
the best contributor in the history of technology, because of him we can run
computers and laptops nowadays. Because of his remarkable knowledge and his
research he made his dreams possible and now he is one of the successful
Filipino we had. And most of the people recognized him as "The Filipino
Bill Gates". Because of hard work and he didn't give up, and every day, he
study and research new things, until he made it. Dado Banatao also study other
companies that the companies failed, whereas he helps the companies to bring
back their firm in the industry. What I can say is he is very intelligent, and
because of that he help many companies around and make it live again. For me, I
can say also that he is like an system analyst by doing this kind of job, he
identify the problems of the companies why they fail, and how did he find a
solution to bring back the companies alive. Many Filipinos and other person
from other countries is very proud of him because of his story and his journey
to his success. Until the time comes that he finally ask himself that "no
one told me that I could do it". He totally do it in his own way, having a
hard time in studying, working, and researching is the core of being a
successful man.
How
to be successful? Here are some guides of being a successful person.
Many people want to achieve success in life,
but it's easier said than done. There are so many distractions that it can be
challenging to discipline oneself to accomplish a monumental goal. By keeping
the following advice in mind, however, you can dramatically increase your
chances of becoming successful in whatever you choose to pursue.
1. Imagine becoming successful
Imagine becoming successful. Einstein said the imagination is more important than
knowledge. The more vividly and accurately you imagine your success, the easier
it will be for the rest of yourself to follow through. The same way engineers
first imagine a bridge and then build it, you can be the engineer of your
success, too.
2. Find
the purpose or goal of your life
Find
the purpose or goal of your life. Identify
the things you love to do, the things that give you satisfaction. Once you
identify what you love to do, use this information to find the purpose of your
life or the objective of your life.
3.
Define the meaning of success as
you see it
Define
the meaning of success as you see it. You cannot have success if you do
not know what it means for you. Everyone views success differently and using
someone else's standard for success is like eating another person's lunch and
expecting to love it. Set clear goals and be realistic.
4.
Selectively lower
your confidence
Selectively lower your confidence. It's a truism in business that you need to have high self-confidence to get things done. But some
people think, and for good reason,
that lower self-confidence makes
people more successful.
5.
Be curious about life
Be curious about life. Many successful people have an
insatiable curiosity. If they don't understand
how something works or don't know the answer to a question, they find out. Often, this
takes them on a quest of self-discovery, one in which the journey is just as important as the destination.
6. Execute
your small objectives, focusing on your main objective
Execute your small objectives, focusing on your main
objective. Don't find reasons
to procrastinate. Jump headfirst into
the challenge and start chipping away. You never know what problems will present themselves before you step into
the arena.
7.
Surround yourself with other people
who are successful
Surround yourself with other people who are
successful. When you're
surrounded with people who are
highly-driven, it's encouraging. You can bounce ideas off people, and they can even connect you with
other people. Surrounding yourself with driven, successful people is a way to create a culture of success.
8.
Find a mentor
Find a mentor. A mentor is someone, usually with a bit more
experience than you, who knows the trade, offers advice, and helps you in your
pursuit. Behind many successful people
are mentors. Mentors get satisfaction out of knowing that their guidance has literally bred success.
9.
Gather as much
information as you can
Gather as much information as you can. Listen. Study. Understand. Learn. Repeat. Humans are amazing creatures because we can look at the world, make intellectual connections, and use those connections to make our lives better (or potentially worse). This is what information allows us to do. Never turn your "learning switch" off. You never know when your flash of insight will come!
10. Solve
problems
People who are successful
encourage progress by solving problems and answering questions. No matter where you are or what you're doing, look around
and try and think of ways you
can contribute.
11. Remove fear and doubt from your way of thinking
Remove fear and doubt
from your way of thinking. Focus
on staying positive in every situation.
You will be surprised how effective you can be when your thoughts are guiding your actions, not the other way around. If
you fail, don't be fearful about starting over; be happy that you've been given a chance to be even more successful.
