The Anvil Business Club (Association of Young Filipino-Chinese Entrepreneurs ) received more than just a plate of variable life insurance packages from the country's inimitable insurance mogul, Mr. Peter Coyiuto;
he also apportioned generous servings of his invaluable life lessons
amassed over decades of paradoxical experiences which included some of
his most onerous personal challenges, oftentimbounty, that
defined his life and times to a jam-packed audience of aspiring
entrepreneurs and professionals during the Club's 13th regular Business
Exchange Forum – the final one for the Year 2014.
es juxtaposed with
unbelievably immense
Possessing the unbridled passion of a TV evangelical minister, Mr.
Coyiuto began by disclosing the necessity of purchasing a life insurance
policy, citing dual benefits of savings and security. He enumerated the
many ways on how life insurance not only provides for financial support
in the event of untimely death but also acts as a long term investment,
providing attractive tax-benefits and funds to achieve specific goals.
But more significantly, he laid out his Top Five Lessons – much of which were couched in one-to-two word, enigmatic verbiage that, he claimed, made his life worth living for:
1. Discover. Finding the real you is an enlightening experience. You become self-sufficient and do things for yourself, for once. It's a hard feeling to put into words, but when you don't know who you are, it's hard to ignore. Finding yourself is not easy, but, like the adage goes, it's worth it.
2. Ahoo! The proverbial war cry of the Spartans against the Persian "god-King" Xerxes and his invading army of more than 300,000 soldiers in the movie "300," tells us that we have to raise our battle chant every now and then to remind us of our own aggressive potential as we fight the daily grind of life.
3. Beautiful Death. A phrase popularized by the "Game of Thrones" series, he tells us that we need to embrace the inevitability of death, in order for us to view death as a sacred adventure of great love and resolution.
4. Gather Rosebuds. Robert Herrick's Poem, "To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time" urges us to take advantage of life while we are young; this can be encapsulated with the oft-repeated phrase, "carpe diem!"
5. Search for Meaning. Citing the title of Auschwitz concentration camp survivor Viktor Frankl's seminal book, he concluded that the way a prisoner imagined the future affected his longevity. The tome summarizes the journey of finding meaning in the midst of extreme suffering.
Mr. Coyiuto's riveting, yet unorthodox, speaking style left almost everyone in the room gasping for air. In the end, the wily guest speaker could only smile and say, "nakuha niyo ba iyon?"
The evening also marked the addition of nineteen (19) more young, pretty and handsome personalties into the roster of the Club's growing membership. Congratulations to all the new members and welcome aboard!
