The crazy ones are those who think that they can rule the world. More often than not, they are the ones who do.

According to my previous DepartmentHead, Marketing people are innately crazy. Ding Salvador, another founder of MarkProf said that the 25 trainees for 2007 are all crazy for joining the program.

Therefore, I am crazy.

I want to change the world, too, like most crazy people do, and I know I will.

The other day was our first training day for MarkProf. My God, everyone was so competitive. I kinda expected that already, though. We were branded as "The Dream Team of New Marketers" anyway so I knew that the people with me would be wanting that valedictorian spot on graduation day. I've never met a group of people more thirsty for glory and to tell you honestly, I feel so honored to be with a group that is so driven and goal-oriented. Healthy competition is always nice. I just hope it'll remain healthy come December.

The 1st trainor was the 1st Filipino Pres. of P&G. The second was Mr. Josiah Go and the third was from Unilever. I was amazed with Josiah's intelligence but was overwhelmed by Dondi's (from Unilever)creativity and imagination.

I think I'm more Dondi than Josiah. I'm more on the creative side of Marketing. I'm good with the other parts but brand conceptualizing and the likes are my forte. Out of the three trainors, it was with Dandi that I felt most inspired. I want to be like him. I want to be him.

I want to change the country, if not the world, through my ideas. I have so many of them that I just can't wait to start working already. I want my ideas to have an impact to the people. I want my ideas to demand attention and create a revolution. My goal is to effectively market brands that will be assigned to me by my future supervisor and at the same time allow people to see, realize, and discover a part of themselves in the brands that I will market.

I know that it's not right to block yourself from the possibilities of seeing other horizons but I can't help sealing myself in the world of Marketing. It is my calling that is why I'm gonna do everything to excel in it.
