Hi.

    I will write this with as few words as possible.

    I believe we live in an era of information pollution.

    Lesser words, greater impact.

    There's this lecture series I've attended: Lecture Series Program 2024

    We had 4 lectures.

        First Lecture: Intellectual property rights

            The speaker: Dr. Gamaliela A. Dumancas

                I learned of the importance of intellectual property rights.

                It's a first come, first serve buffet out there.

                If I have a revolutionary, monetizable idea, I must find ways to secure it.

                It's like land ownership. A conceptual space of untouched ideas waiting to be discovered.

        Second Lecture: Start-up Ecosystem

            The speaker: Ms. Keren Happuch A. Lacadin

                I learned about start-ups.

                They're not just about setting up a sari-sari store which may grow in a linear fashion.

                They have to be particularly disruptive and grow exponentially.

                I suspect start-ups are high risk, high reward.

                Therefore, mitigate risks. Failure may be a part of the process, but if you live failing, you'll get                     nowhere.

        Third Lecture: Incubation Program and Opportunities

            The speaker: Ms. Glyrhiz Marhiel A. Tabamo

                Suppose I have a start-up. Where do I start it up?

                An act of causality: The exponential growth attracts many investors; quick money.

                This in turn led to the needed existence of incubation programs.

                An incubator of an egg; an organization or a program that helps through providing initial                            investments. Whether that egg is good or bad lies the gamble.

                It makes me skeptical of the chick that eventually hatches. The hen that laid the egg is me. But I                 am incapable of incubating it to something that can be truly mine. The ones incubating the egg                    are the ones in charge. I just get the rights to say it's mine. But in reality, it's not really fully mine                 anymore. But if I am stubborn, there's a high chance that it will not hatch. There's a dichotomy.

        Fourth Lecture: Start-up Journey

            The speaker: Mr. John Ryan Loyloy

                It's mostly about failure. 

                I personally won't linger on such.

                I want to win as much as possible. 

                Failure is a lesson on how to win.

                But I am not willing to spend the rest of my life failing.

                Makes sense. Competition is easily overcome when you tell them to fail as much as possible.

                I am not subscribed to the defeatist attitude that failure is a process.

                I am subscribed to the idea that winning is winning. Failing is failing.

                Life is to be live in at least 70% success, 30% failure.

                This truth is so simple, yet everyone complicates simple things.

                I'm not about to let the big fish tell me to stay in the little pond before I am able to explore the                    ocean.

                Failing is okay. But wasting time is not.

                Time is a resource that dwindles at a constant rate every picosecond.

                I'd rather read of failures of others and learn from them to win faster.

                I'd rather not experience failure in first-person as much as possible.

                I'd rather try my best not to fail by any means possible.

There is nothing left to say but "thank you for reading".
