But what I really want to be known for is for the significant life I lived by helping as much people as I can. It is kind of like giving back or paying it forward. What kind of life would I live if I didn’t really share the success? Success = Happy + Healthy + Wealthy + Wise
That is what I have to offer. The world has made it so easy to be truly remarkable. That is the life of significance.
My name is Robert Macasaet. I was born in the Philippines in Quezon City, which is part of Metro Manila. My entire family moved to The United States when I was six years old. We moved quite a lot, living in Miami Beach, Florida, Columbus, Ohio, New York City, New Jersey, and the island of Guam…In Guam, I got to learn how to go net fishing, spear fishing, rod and real... I caught a flounder once with my bare hands, it tasted good also. I also got to see spotted dolphins out in the ocean while deep sea fishing. That was cool, but the sun is relentless. The sun is very powerful out in the open ocean and it will burn you. By the way, the deepest part of the Ocean is located near Guam called the Marianas Trench: over eight miles deep. I also got to live in the jungle for 4 months under a tent and eating with banana leaves as plates. That was cool, somewhat. The bathroom situation was awful though because there was none (no further details will be added).
From cities to island and back to city: I moved to Chicago in 1994. There I attended High School and College earning a BS in Electronics Engineering Technology. It was a hard degree to earn especially something I had no passion for. I did it for the money… Later I found out wasn’t really worth it. My values had changed. Working for corporate America for a large company in Los Angeles wasn’t all I thought it would be. See, my values had changed with the books and audio’s I was listening to. They were all teaching me to think big, build your own business, be your own boss and imagine what I would change when my annual income suddenly became my monthly income. I liked that even better.
My goals and aspirations are all about living a life of significance along with the luxuries in life. Growing up with stepparents (yes, my parents didn’t last) was un-cool. They had bad attitudes about things in life. I was being told luxuries was bad but in my heart I knew I deserve having those things. We do live in a Material World as Madonna put it. Having nice material things truly helps us live a little better. Don’t you agree?But what I really want to be known for is for the significant life I lived by helping as much people as I can. It is kind of like giving back or paying it forward. Zig Ziglar states “You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help other people get what they want.” What kind of life would I live if I didn’t really share the success? Success = Happy + Healthy + Wealthy + Wise.
