“A person’s measurement of success is not by how much money he has but by how much the same success affects other people. You cannot only look at your own success but also see that others around you succeed too. Then you can say that you have succeeded in life.” These are the words of Tatay Felix Garcia, founder of Mekeni Food Corporation.

One night, I received a call! It was from my cousin Lida who resides in Chicago. She called to tell me that she is moving to Appleton. Oh boy, I thought she was joking. She says she have to do it to move on from a heartbreak. "Why of all cities, you choose Appleton?", I asked. According to her, the place is quite and traditional. It might be humid but there are times the climate is warm like the people living in that area. I twitched and slumped on a chair. I know she had decided. She laughed at my reaction. When she thought I am worried. She sat beside me and said, "Cousin, don't you worry! I'm a big girl, now. Before I moved to that place, I made sure that I have a place to stay. There is nothing to worry! I searched the Internet and made a list in the City of Appleton jobs that I am going to apply. I think, I'm in, already! I'll be working in a store of Guitar Center of Appleton!". I sighed and hug her. I told her to be careful out there. Just remember to call me. I am always here for her.

Learning on how to play guitar is not that easy. It takes patience, focus, and attitude to learning each chord. You must start from the beginning. First, let us learn the basics.

Parts of the Guitar
No one will ask about the parts of the guitar. But, in my own opinion, it is important to know it. What if, someone will ask you to do it using that one word that defines a part of a guitar. At least you know and understand what that word means.

Learn the Chords
Others will teach you the chords while you strum the guitar. As for me, you have to know the chords first and take notes. Just in case you forgot, so, it'll be handy.
