In the 2^nd part of this year’s Youth Empowerment Seminar (YES) series, the CKS College Student Executive Council (SEC) and the Department of Student Affairs (DSA) joined hands to hold the seminar, entitled, “The Anatomy of Success” last September 11, 2013 at the CKSC main auditorium.  Top-notch, dynamic,  and renowned motivational speaker, Mr. Francis Kong, address a crowd comprised mainly of FBAS faculty members, administrators, and students. CKSC Vice President, Mrs. Carmelita Espino, was one of the special guests during the said event.

Mr. Francis Kong shared anecdotes and tidbits of wisdom as he talked about his own personal experiences, the hardships he had encountered, moments of triumphs and failures, and life-changing milestones. He spoke about how skills do not determine a person’s success and how one’s attitude is more important than one’s skills.

Mr. Kong provided the audience with insightful remarks on how one can achieve success. He also mentioned that people should know how to be contented with what they have, but never on what they can become. He also repeatedly told the audience that in order to be successful; they should go through the process called “studying.” He noted that people wanted to be successful in an instant without even going through the process.

Mr. Francis J. Kong engaged the audience by asking several questions and by giving few lucky students a chance to win a copy of his book. The audience was highly enthusiastic and participated actively during the open forum.
