          There are different types of adversities              when you’re faced with adversity
          that we face.                                         doesn’t help you handle the situation.
                                                                Our Human Resources Division
          One, are uncontrollable problems, like                cosponsored by the NLEX Road
          a death of a loved one or damage to                   Warrior Coaching Staff and Players put
          your home brought about by typhoon.                   together a delightful and insightful
          Acts of God or Force Majeur                           Lunch and Learn that ends the year
          happened. Again, not in your control.                 2018 with overflowing takeaways.


          Two, are the repercussions of a                       Our first speaker is our very own
          decision that you, yourself made like                 Coach Yeng Guiao, General Manager
          hitting that snooze button on your                    of the NLEX Road Warriors who has
          alarm hoping for an extra five minutes                 inspired countless of basketball
          of shut eye but instead drifted off to                players who have led their teams to
          dreamland and woke up an hour later                   victory. He shared his five principles to
          which made you late for work, and                     succeed to overcome the odds:
          earning your boss’ ire.


          Three, are problems that happen
          because of something else others did,
          like the day your brother borrowed
          your car and forgot to fill the gas tank
          and didn’t tell you about it before you
          left for work, so you drive off, and you
          suddenly stop in the middle of the
          road where the nearest gas station is
          more than a kilometer away.


          No matter the cause of the adversity,
          though, your first reaction will be to
          look for someone or something to
          blame. Even if that someone turns out                 “Don’t let your setbacks define you, but the number of wins. Try harder.”
                                                                                   – Coach Yeng Guiao
          to be yourself. But placing blame
