It was one of our dismissals last week when I saw an ex-orgmate, MJ, who was carrying a stack of Propaganda (College of Commerce's newspaper). I called his attention and asked a copy of it since the night before, I read a friend's plug about the said newspaper.

Having scanned the titles of the articles, the word "ELEVATOR" caught my attention. I remembered that I was the one who suggested the name for the team. I actually got that idea from our very first experience as a team being with each other when we went to Philippine Stock Exchange. Going back, my curiosity and excitement moved me to read the whole article immediately. 

The next photo is the actual copy of the article: "Team 'Elevator' climbs to 3rd at PMA-AMRC" (PMA-AMRC stands for Philippine Marketing Association - Agora Marketing Research Competition)

During one of the earliest meetings that we had for this competition, our coach shared that it wasn't easy for him to arrive on our names. What he did was he laid all the master lists of 8 sections and wrote the names that he thought could be part of the team, and went on to the same process until he ended up with the last 6 names left.

Having gone through the article, I was surprised when I read my ideas (proposed strategies) on the newsprint. Fulfillment to the next level, I say. And that "Ant System" that I proposed, got a lot of people's attention, not to mention the attention of Silverbox' owner herself. Though, this article got the wrong idea about the strategy. It's not ant print-outs; it's something more. Deeper. 

This segment got my heart when our coach mentioned the highlighted part. It was so humble of him to say that. If he only knew how beyond honored we felt like having him as our coach. He's the best, ever!
