Whenever I see a dad and child tandem sharing their musings online or offline, I can't help myself but get hooked on the discussion. In a world that is busy and has a lot of changes pertaining to parent-child relationships, it is perhaps common to see parents and child drift apart due to generation gap or differences in perspectives. Despite of these, I admire parents, especially the dads, who find ways to reach out to their children and find time inculcating their values and principles with them. This is the reason why I among showbiz personalities, I truly admire Piolo and Inigo Pascual.

On May 7, 2021 at 5:00 PM, Sun Life Philippines launched #SunTalksLite where Piolo and Inigo shared their mix of grit and action in their life and financial journey. As they were speaking, I could only say that both guys have good heads on their shoulders. Hindi ka maiinip when you watch them because they have so much insights to share about freedom, habits, money, and health, something that all of us could learn something from. 

I would like to share with you the key points of the talk that are worth remembering.

- Learn to appreciate things especially when you buy it with your own money.
- Reward yourself, love what you are doing. You will learn to appreciate your work and what you do when you learn how to appreciate yourself.

- Appreciate the mornings. Set your goals for the day. Let yourself be ready with what you do.

- Take at least 30 minutes of your life breathing. Learn how to meditate.

- Learn to divide your money and how to spend and save.

- Essentials vs wants, make sure to divide them properly.

- When you have a goal or a dream, you'll be motivated to achieve it. The journey is what matters and not the goal.
