Recently, I received an email quoting a German national who thought that the NAZIs during Hitler's Germany was some fools and harmless. He was caught in a huge surprise that in not a very long time the Nazis had owned Germany and owned the businesses. What followed was the butchering of the 6 million Jews. Although the NAZIs were not the majority in the beginning they won because of their aggressiveness. The rest of Germany lost because of their passiveness. The email is pointing out the great fact that today's fanatic Muslims that pursue terroristic attacks are the minority. But they are aggressive. If we will not do something about it, one day we will wake up under their dominion and plunder and then lose our Christian faith. Therefore we Christians cannot not be aggressive.
I am a follower of the philosophy of individualism which I started 27 years ago. People have got to individualize, and not be individualistic. I believe that life is so personalized and there is nothing you can do to change an individual if that individual does not want to change. Everyone of us makes our own mind. Everyone is literally an individual on his or her own right.
While some people may think that individualism is a selfish posture, what remains in the dispositional capabilities of man is that he or she will live his/her life until the end by himself/herself. Corporately speaking we live with our families, but individually speaking we all live alone by ourselves.
For this reason, we must all summon our personal resources to be aggressive. We cannot not be aggressive. To maximize our existence we must be aggressive. If you are passive you must wake up from your slumber. Get up and get employed by dreamers, if you have failed to design your own dreaming. If you are passive people will pass you by, even those who are much younger than you. Passive people die without experiencing their life.
What is the secret to success? I asked my friend, Paul Verzosa, this question. His answer jolted me. I asked why in network marketing some people go to the top in the fastest time. He said, "It's like politics, if you run for councilor, you do not have to shake hands with so many people. If you run for mayor you have to shake hands with more people. If you run for congress, you must shake hands with a lot more people. And if you run for president, then you should really be aggressive in shaking hands with so very many people. It's the same thing in network marketing. You need to talk to many people if you want to get to the top."
I teach in my JASE Lectures that in life it is all about scheming and evading. Just like in playing basketball you must scheme through the opponents' guarding strategy and you must evade the coming onslaught of attack. My philosophy is very controversial and certaily unique, it's almost not Christian. But that is how one should live his life, be aggressive and be good. How can you be good and aggressive at the same time? Yes, you can, if you are a true Christian. Why you have to be aggressive is because if you do not become one, you will not become the great leader that God wants you to be, in business, in politics, and even in religion. I call that philosophy in tagalog, "Utakan, Iwasan."

Hi Dr. Ayudtud. I have been receiving your mails for some time now and have been quietly wondering about where you stand on some issues especially because you claim to follow christian principles. Finally you have explained yourself in this blog. You said,
There's only one way to live life and that is to be aggressive and good-based. If you take life casually you will become a casualty....

While there is some truth to what you say (and I understand your point on individualism) yet this statement is not Christian at all since christian life is never centered on the individual and his ability to do things but on Christ and His ability to accomplish His purposes in a person who gives/surrenders the right to his life to Christ.
My philosophy is very controversial and certaily unique, it's almost not Christian. But that is how one should live his life, be aggressive and be good.

With due respect I totally disagree. Your philosophy as you explained here is not only almost not Christian but anti-Christian in essence since, again, is man-centered. Anti-Christ means not only against but in place of Christ. Most often what takes the place of Christ are the good things in life like success. If anyone search the whole scripture there is nothing that tells us to pursue success. What Jesus Christ said should be both a warning and encouragement to all: "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you." If success or getting rich be the pursuit of our life where does Jesus and the apostles belong? Except for John and Judas all died as martyrs. They were successful because they pursued God and God's purposes were accomplished in their lives. Until a person understands that he was made by God and for God he'll never understand that all human wisdom and strength can only lead to his own destruction. Solomon's testimony with all his wisdom and wealth was this:"all is vanity." His was a sad end for a man so provided for by God.
I certainly don't want to argue or debate but I pray that you give this due consideration.
