My mentor in Internet Marketing, Jomar Hilario, is always full of surprises. He conducts workshops and gives away tons of bonuses to the participants. As one of his students, I get the privilege to receive unannounced bonuses every now and then. This one came early this year. And very timely I would say because it's a geat way to start the year right --- giving us the right perspective about life and a simple blueprint on how we should be treating ourselves and other people.
After attending his Advanced Internet Marketing Seminar about a week ago, he sent us a copy of his lecture via email. On the last few pages of his slide presentation, he had a "Bonus Slide" where he recommended this 16-minute video entitled "Validation" and requested us to email him once we've finished watching it. I don't know why he wanted us to email him --- maybe he wants to be sure that we read his presentation all through the last page. Or maybe he wants to know if his students can follow simple instructions. Whatever. I decided to do more than just email him. His early Bonus inspired me a lot that I decided to create a blog about it. What better way to thank a mentor than to show him his ability to inspire his students to put into action what he has so patiently taught (thanks Jomar! you've just been validated!).
This will be the first in a series of self-help and personal growth articles that will be posted on this site. Together we will master the art of giving validation. It is unfortunate that we don't get enough of it in this world. Maybe we grew up in an environment where very few people appreciated us that's why we also got so stingy in giving validation to other people. Be kind to yourself. Watch this video. It's worth passing on to every person you know. I'd bet there will be a smile on your face after watching it!
