If people have heard of the Kardashians or the Trumps, wait until they hear about the Singsons. From Manila, Philippines, John Singson alongside his wife Diamond Singson, is a real estate entrepreneur who currently resides in California, breaks its’ silence once again. “What the Singsons want, is what they get” is a famous line that the public knows about the Singsons. The Singson family has, on many accounts, been called the ‘Trumps of the Philippines’ because of the abundant amount of wealth and power they hold there. The family is filled with top bankers and extremely powerful political figures. His grandfather, who is a political Kingpin, Chavit Singson, is a notable Filipino politician meaning he was destined for esteemed success in the future. However, John did not want to stay in the shadow of his family members. Over time the fire to succeed on his own and create his own roots started burning with great tenacity in John’s heart. Mr. Singson, who the public considers self-made, shows proof that despite having an unbelievable family background, he chose to create his own footsteps and now has an army of colleagues and employees. What people love about John is he is very easy to reach and has remained down to earth. In fact, he chooses a simple life rather than being in the limelight, with so much attention that one can be so tired of being famous.
The meaning of life is a concept that has eluded mankind from the very beginning. The progress of society has given birth to social norms that, although subconsciously, dictate a person’s life and portray their goals. Nowadays, every young child is taught that only the successful survive, and success needs to be attained through any means. People spend their lives running after the generic ideals society has showcased for a long time. Some even achieve them but lose their selves in the process. What people fail to understand is that the world is filled with successful people that have gained a high status in life. However, only the ones that resonate with their goals on a higher level can take their place amongst the ones that are remembered. Individualism is defined as being independent and self-reliant, but this word has a much deeper effect on a person’s life. Regardless of what one’s goals might be, the path one takes to achieve them is what defines one as a person. One such personality who, although he had a silver spoon-fed to him since birth, rejected the easy ticket and persevered to find his own way in the world is real estate entrepreneur John Singson.
In the past, people who aspired to become someone notable one day would search for ways where their name could shine with a unique glow. However, nowadays, people only dream of finding the shortest and most convenient way of gaining fame and success. With the passing of time, the majority of people have adopted the thinking that only results matter. They want to be in the limelight regardless of whether it is well deserved or not.
Privilege is ruining the passionate spirit in the people of today’s society. People being born with a silver spoon in their mouths is not something new to the world. However, over time such people have stopped wanting to achieve greater heights and only look forward to basking in the success of someone else’s accomplishments. To them, inheriting a business or wealth from someone is the same as earning it themselves, but the reality is completely contrary to this. Such people fail to understand history only highlights the kings that not only ruled but ameliorated their kingdoms. Suppose searched one can find the names of thousands of kings and emperors that have ruled over mighty kingdoms of the past. But history only fonds over the ones that made considerable contributions to the upheaval of their kingdoms. One great example is the great Mughal empire that ruled for a long time. However, the Mughal empire had many emperors that inherited the throne from their forefathers. But only a few names, such as Babar and Humayun, remain highlighted for their great efforts in spreading the Mughal rule. Even after inheriting the ultimate social status and being able to enjoy the most lavish lifestyle without needing to move a muscle. These emperors chose to constantly struggle for their goals which landed them a spot higher than other rulers of that time and showcased their individualism. John Singson is a person that unlike many of his generation, has a mindset that prefers to make their own name in the world shine.
John was always fascinated by the world of real estate and finance due to the influence of his ideals like Warren Buffet. Deciding to make his own way to the epitome of success, he decided to move to the US, where he founded his real estate company ‘Singson Real Estate.’ His interest in real estate was not only because of the wealth it could amass but also because of his drive to be of service to the people. Much like his grandfather, John was always ready to go above and beyond for his fellow people. Having knowledge of the real estate industry, he knew how hectic it could be for a person to buy a property or a home. Buying their first home is a dream for the majority in today’s world, but because many lack the in-depth knowledge needed to make the right decisions, they are taken advantage of. John aims to help each of his clients get their dream homes in the most streamlined manner possible. His dedication to accommodating the clients is something seen in the real estate industry. Because of this dedication, Singson real estate has become a widely known name in the real estate markets of Southern and Northern California.
Because of such incredible achievements in such a short time, John was awarded many decorations, some of which are: becoming Entrepreneur of the Year; being listed in the top 75 influential Filipino Americans alongside people like Bruno Mars; awarded businessman of the year; and being awarded Filipino leader of the press club by Senator Manny Pacquiao. John Singson is an individual that aspired to become a self-made man. He did not want to flourish in the achievements of his family and desired to walk a different path than them. His train of thought about future goals is something that should be adopted by all the youth of today’s society. Only by promoting the urge for individualism can the society bear witness to genuine success stories similar to John’s.
