​We often admire successful people. Some maybe eager and excited to be in their shoes.

But do you know that almost all them have faced much bigger problems and challenges than what we can ever imagine.

Yet with all their failures and disappointments, they never give up...that's why they're successful.

Here's the BIG picture:

​What set us apart from other creatures is that we were given the wonderful power of choice;

We can choose to be happy or choose to be sad,

We can choose to be good or choose be bad.

Di lang alam ng marami na we can choose to be rich or choose to be poor.

Most importantly, we can choose to have a choice or not to have any choice at all!

Every morning, we can decide on what we want to be.
​
"We create our lives tru our choices".

​"Premium or Unleaded" is an erroneous classification because these two gasoline types are both unleaded gasoline. The correct term should be Premium or Regular (which are both unleaded).

Most of us are still saying premium or unleaded to distinguish between these two types of gasoline. But take note that all gasoline types are now unleaded so it's misleading to call it that way.

So what's the difference? Premium has higher octane, and Regular gas has lower octane. Again, both are unleaded.

But here's another wrong notion. Many believe that fuel with higher octane gives more  power than those with low octane rating.

FACT: Octane rating is not for POWER. It is formulated to match the compression ratio of certain engine type. Regular vehicles has low compression ratio and therefore doesn't need high octane fuel. These engines are designed to use Regular gasoline. 

While sports cars have high performance engines and the compression ratio of this engines are very high. Using regular gas for these engines will cause pre-ignition and will surely damage it.

So what does octane really does in the fuel? It's just a retarding agent to prevent pre-ignition caused by high compression in sports engines. That is why high performance engines should only use premium gas (which we wrongly call "leaded").

To summarize:
     -Low octane gas is for low compression engines.
     -High octane gas is for High compression engines. 

If your vehicle is not a sports car, don't use premium gas because it has no effect on the power whatsoever and you only end up wasting money for something you don't need.

And if your vehicle is a sportscar with a high performance engine, don't use regular or you will damage  it.

On more thing: Because all gasoline fuel are now unleaded, don't say Premium or Unleaded. Say premium or regular. 

It’s interesting to note that successful people are not always brilliant, educated or unique, but simply have a grasp of how things work.

They know that they can reach any goal by trying-making mistakes-getting off course-correcting-getting off course-correcting. Ships do it, and so do missiles and planes.
​
Lesson: When we try to do something new... it's normal to make mistakes!
