Agility Defined

Today, Pointwest celebrated its eighth anniversary. A mass and a gathering was held in one of the offices of the company. One of the main highlights of the entire endeavor was one thing: how the company proved itself to be the best fully Filipino IT outsourcing companies in the world.

It was gratifying for someone who has started training five days ago.

The mass presider was Fr. Abelardo, one of Noynoy's closest companions. He told stories about people living humbly and leading simple lives, and how these people are succeeding in their own careers. Being the eighth year since the foundation of Pointwest, he linked this to how Pointwest succeeded and continues to succeed.

"Things in life can get very hard, but ultimately, not impossible."

Pointwest succeeds up until now because it firmly believes that nothing is impossible. Yes, things may turn most grim and daunting, but if there is a will, there will always be a way. Things may not be in the greener side of the fields all the time, but if one really wants to attain victory, that person will do anything moral to do so.

Fears and uncertainties are a normal part of our lives. These are always present in each and every one of our unique and innovative minds. These hindrances are the things that make our brilliance paltry. Everything worth doing is possible: all one has to do is to muster up the courage to face those insecurities -- that is a great victory in itself. The road less traveled won't be a smooth ride, and it is in the rough times will a person decide to stay down with folded arms or step up with an arched back.
