Be A Nonito DONAIRE Jr!

 

Nonito Donaire Jr. is now a five division champion after defeating Simpewe Vetyeka in Macau on Saturday night. But Donaire was a bit unhappy of the result because their fight had to be stopped in the fourth round due to severe cuts in his both eyes. Those were caused by Vetyeka’s headbatting operations launched against Donaire since round one, much to the dismay of boxing fanatics since the referee never called it against the South African. Under the World Boxing Association (WBA) rules, when a fight has to be stopped in the fourth round, the score cards shall decide. And the figures favored Donaire:49-46.

During post fight interview, Donaire apologized to his fans and supporters for disappointing them by not giving a good fight. He bowed he tried his best since round one, but he did not have clear vision anymore as the blood and ointment were dripping toward his eyes due to the cuts he endured. That was why he asked for a halt. The pain was unbearable already for Donaire. Yet he apologized for the disappointment he had caused on everybody who believed so much in him.

 Donaire wanted to win impressively. That was why he vowed to train again after he has recuperated because he was very much open to a rematch. He said he has high respects for Vetyake who he described as a good boxer. A rematch would satisfy his fans and boxing fanatics as well. It will remove a cloud of doubt and erase what ifs and what nots. That is the beauty of boxing, you can always do a rematch to arrive at a better record and determine the real winner and powerful fighter. Most of all, you remove doubts and disappointment.

Life is also like boxing. Along the way we encounter a lot of what ifs and what nots, of what would have been and what would have been not. There are a lot of disappointment. We rise and fall, rise and fall again. It is a cycle. But there are those who are away and out of the cycle because they prepared and braced for what was to come. They are up there: Stronger. Bigger. Better. Brighter.

Imagine you are a parent. You are at the peak of your career, you are at the top of your game. What is on your mind? Enjoy the fruits of your labor and indulge in the end result of your effort? Anyway, life is a a cycle—you are up today and you are down tomorrow---you will bounce back eventually. You can opt for a rematch at life by starting over again. Or you think otherwise?

A responsible parent does not think that way. He wants to make it sure, safe, and sound so that when the going gets tough, he will not be a disappointment to his children. A thinking parent does not think of the possibility of a rematch, he wants it to be a perfect match for his children. So what do you so as not to disappointment your children in the future? You prepare. You save. You spare something now when everything is okay, so that when the challenging time comes, you have something to back you up. That way you will not stumble and eventually fall.

When I say save and spare something now, I mean be financially literate. Get to know Quick and Fast Credit Cooperative (QFCC), a C.H.R.I.S.T-centered cooperative that aims to “Help People Help Themselves.” It has various savings packages that will give you better deals and will allow you to be of help to others. When you open an account at QFCC and become a regular member, you automatically become part of the “Business Club” where you enjoy free entreprenurial mentorship so that when you are ready to manage your own business, you can do so by availing of a loan for your starting capital.

But if you do not want to manage a business, that will not be a problem. By being a member, your savings will grow still because it will be entitled to a 3% annual interest. QFCC has Kiddie and Youth Savings, Educational Savings and a lot more. You just have to choose the savings package that suits you and you desire. Actually, the most interesting savings package that has caught the attention of new members is the “Helping Hands.” Under that savings package your P300 initial deposit will be deducted with P5 for hospitalization and P10 burial assistance to members in need. It is just a small amount, yet it will surely go a very long way and you are able to help at the same time. Remember, the more you help, the more you will be blessed. God is watching 24/7 my friend.

So choose not to disappoint the ones who believe and depend on you. Be a Donaire!
