DESPERATE!
I badly want to have a copy of the "Management" book by Bartol and Martin. :( And the only ones I can find are those through the Internet which will cost me my whole month's allowance just to have it shipped from the U.S to me!
So given my meager resources, I have decided to abandon any hope of ever acquiring the book. But after thinking it over for quite some time,
I have FINALLY come up with an ingenious plan! ( sinister laugh inserted here)
First off, I go to a bookstore very accessible to me like National Bookstore. This costs me only 6 pesos for my jeepney fare. There, I find a tattered paperback on Aerospace Engineering. After much persuasion and annoying wheedling, the management finally allows me to have the
book for free given its pitiful state. I shall then read the book thoroughly until I master aerodynamics, materials science, avionics and fluid mechanics! I become so much of an expert that a prominent airline company soon offers to pay for my education if I agree to work for them as their chief engineer. I consider the offer. . . but then realize that this might sway me from my original goal. So I reject their proposals and continue in my quest!
Equipped with the knowledge, I realize I needed the resources to put my plan in action! I look up "stock market" on Wikipedia and read about the legendary Warren Buffett who began his multi-billion dollar fortune with just 100 US Dollars! Inspiration strikes and I decide to emulate his feat. I gamble away 100 pesos from my earnings and wait patiently for a result, ready to accept a good or bad outcome. Luckily, just after a few days, I find out that the stocks I bought come out big time! I had struck the gold, and was now another step closer to my destiny.
With my newfound fortune in hand, I design and finance the building of a powerful aircraft! And again, I was getting closer and closer to my goal.

Even with the best attempts I had at frugality, I am now left with only a little cash in my pockets. I then opt to sign up for a crash course in Aeronautics. Through hard work and sheer detemination, I am able to graduate the course at the top of the class! Even before my graduation day, I already begin receiving several offers from different companies for me to lend my expertise to them. Each promises me a handsome salary which I graciously turn down in favor of my now almost-complete plan.
On the day before Christmas, I fly my self-designed and self-financed aircraft across the skies! After an hour or two, I finally land in the United States of America where I am AT LONG LAST able to purchase a hard-bound copy of my book! I am in a state of euphoria as I fly back to the Philippines, directly to USC - TC.
Fortunately, I am just in time for my IE 220 class. I happily fish out my new book from my bag, and join in Engr. Maglasang's discussion. . .
