I’ve been wanting to write a proper post on “crab mentality” ever since I noticed that my post on Ako Mismo unexpectedly got into the first few pages of Google’s search results, but I didn’t feel like writing about something so trivial.
Unfortunately, some idiot tried to use that term as a rebuttal in a Facebook hate group that I passed by earlier today and it looks like it’s a good time to share my thoughts about that Filipino derogatory term.
Copy and paste is a design error.

As mentioned in my Lifestream, I’ve started reading The Essential Drucker a few days ago.
The Essential Drucker is not an easy book to read especially in this age where management books are supposed to be simple enough to be read by managers in a single afternoon. It’s a dry read — humor and inspirational stories are usually just one or two sentences long. It is however filled with practical information regarding management. Every paragraph has a little gem of knowledge that you might feel that you could apply in your business.
In short, it’s more Art of War than In Search of Excellence.
