The four elements of situational agency shaping your financial destiny (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last week, I discussed with you the idea that willpower is not enough. I enjoyed reading "Situated," the new book of Angela Duckworth, the author of the bestselling book "Grit," because ten years after she’s now saying that relying on grit alone is not the best way to achieve our goals. We need to be “well-situated.” She introduced the term situational agency, which means taking charge of our circumstances, choosing to be with people and in places that bring out our best. Let’s now apply situati
Grit is not enough: Lessons from Angela Duckworth’s 'Situated' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A decade ago, we, especially parents, were all captivated by the concept of grit. Angela Duckworth, in her bestselling book "Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance" and her TED Talk watched tens of millions of times, taught us that talent is overrated and that sustained effort over time is the real secret to long-term success.

He is turning 14, and we thought this was better than a gadget, something he could learn hands-on from. Maybe start with 10k po. A bit more context, we are not a gifting family. The last time we gifted him was a PC which was for his graduation with honors. I hope it’s ok to ask for your thoughts. Thank you and more power educating! ?? Happy 14th birthday to your son! I lo
The privilege of 'I don’t need to' (opens the original)

Sometimes you hear people say to someone, “Uy, huwag ka nang magtipid, ang yaman-yaman mo na!” There’s also a health-related version, “Uy huwag ka nang mag-work out, ang sexy-sexy mo na!” I think I read these quotes many years ago from James Clear of Atomic Habits. Let’s examine these statements. These comments from friends or relatives are usually meant to be compliments. They are acknowledging your financial security or your physical fitness. But underneath, there’s a fundamental misunderstand
