Discovery shores Boracay: Your Luxury paradise
A professor at Harvard Business School once asked his class: “What is the value of your minute?” Then he continued to say, “If Bill Gates makes $10 million a day, the value of his minute would be $7,600. And if Oprah Winfrey makes $864,000 a day then the value of her minute would be $600 per minute.”
The exercise encourages you to introspect and understand how your own personal calculations fare. Wealth does not necessarily equate to happiness, but at the end of the day, we realize that our time is the most valuable currency because it can be exchanged for anything. They say time is gold, and what’s spent cannot be retrieved again. Since time is a very precious commodity then we ought to spend our time in places that we deserve. Because why settle for less, when you deserve the best? Where else should we spend it than Discovery Shores Boracay?
