Growing up, I’ve always been fascinated with 1 million. There are just so many zeros in it. It excites me the same way I jump up and down with delight when I see my gifts on Christmas day.
As a kid, I have the perfect plan to earn my first milion- by selling 1,000,000 ice candies of course! It’s a no-brainer!
Here’s my plan A-Z:
Sell 1,000,000 ice candies at P1 net profit per piece
Sell 100,000 ice candies at P10 net profit per piece
Sell 10,000 ice candies at P100 net profit per piece
Sell 1,000 ice candies at P1,000 net profit per piece
Sell 100 ice candies at P10,000 net profit per piece
Sell 10 ice candies at P100,000 net profit per piece
Sell 1 candy at P1,000,000 profit
Many years later, I’ve abandoned selling for profit since I've decided to become a monk (my term for a raja yoga meditation practitioner).
It just doesn’t appeal to me anymore. Instead, I engage in pediatric occupational therapy practice, NGO work and social enterprises (businesses with a heart).
Recently though, I remember the ice candy principle again when a dear friend suddenly needs help. She needs to raise a million pesos to help her dad’s growing medical bill. They have been in the hospital for more than a month now.
Six zeroes after 1, a little kid believe it's possible. Decades later, I still believe that it can be raised even without the ice candies because kindness is possible.
I only need to reach out to:
1,000 generous souls who are willing to give P1,000 each for kindness sake
Or
100 kind-hearted people willing to share P10,000 to help another being in need
So, I'm knocking now on your warm hearts to please help me and my friend reach as many generous souls we can by simply sharing this post.
Many, many, many thanks!
P.S. I’m sure the Universe will send you ice candies of happiness in return!
