Dreams, Diligence, and Destiny

I'm diligent and I will reach my dreams, because that's my destiny.

Happy 2018! How did you welcome the new year? I hope you're having a wonderful start. Mine was spending half of the day of the first day of the year in the beach with my family and after that are just few tiring and busy days.

So last December, I attended a youth bootcamp here in the city. And I’m sure other milennials from the bootcamp would agree that Sir Elmer’s speech got us hooked up and motivated us to not give-up on our dreams.

He divided his speech with the golden 3Ds. Dreams, Diligence, and Destiny.

Here he gave us tips on how to achieve your dreams through diligence and get to your rightful destiny.
