00:00If I can go back, I'll finish my studies because I did not finish my studies because of business.
00:06But I studied in the biggest university in the world.
00:10Hi, I'm Manong Chavid.
00:12Life is too short, you have to enjoy the ride.
00:27I'm used to working.
00:29Well, when I was young, seven or nine years old, I was selling peanuts and soft drinks.
00:35When I was high school ready during vacation, I told my dad I want to work in the public works at Highways.
00:43So, I was one of the employees there.
00:48Then later on, when I grew older, the tobacco industry, Virginia, our major industry at that time was tobacco, but native tobacco.
00:57But during that time of, if you recall the name of Harry Stonehill, a soldier that became a billionaire here, he was the one who smuggled the seeds of Virginia tobacco to the Philippines.
01:09So, to cut this story short, I became the biggest trader at that time when I was young.
01:15By the hundreds of trucks, when I delivered hundreds of trucks in La Union, Kalaokan, Pasig, I became a VIP because I have a lot of tobacco.
01:25So, that's how I started to have a lot of money.
01:35My father, when I said something, he always said yes, but my mother, he said, no, why do you sell peanuts? Why do you work?
01:43Because there was high society at that time.
01:45It's like, you're working there.
01:49But my father, no, let him work.
01:51My father, let him work.
01:52So, I got all the experience.
01:54But one thing that I cannot forget was the credibility.
01:59My father said, once you lose your credibility, nobody will believe you anymore.
02:05So, that's what stuck in my mind.
02:07When I made mistakes, I said, sorry.
02:09Very easy to say sorry.
02:10Very easy to say.
02:41You lose your money, you lose land, you lose your car, you lose everything.
02:45But knowledge, you can't lose your knowledge.
02:48You have to study.
02:51Very important, number one.
02:53Education is the most important.
02:57If I can go back, I'll finish my studies.
03:01Because I did not finish my studies because of business.
03:04But I studied in the biggest university in the world.
03:08U.E., University of Experience.
03:12Experience is still the best teacher.
03:19You have to enjoy life because life is so short.
03:22You have to enjoy life.
03:23I'm always telling everybody, life is so short.
03:27You have to enjoy the ride.
03:29You have to enjoy life.
03:30You have to enjoy life.
03:32I'm always telling everybody.
03:32And especially those two of us, you need to enjoy life.
03:33And what I do should be in this video.
