Frank Yan of Sacramento on People Come Into Your Life For a Reason, Season, and Lifetime

Sacramento resident Frank Yan says, people come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you figure out which one it is, you will know what to do for each person.

When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally, or spiritually.

They may seem like a godsend, and they are! They are there for the reason you need them to be.

Then, without any wrongdoing on your part, or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.

Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.

What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered.

And now it is time to move on.

Then people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn.

They bring you an experience of peace, or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done.

They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.

Believe it! It is real! But, only for a season.

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons: things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation.

Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person, and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life.

Frank Yan has made many LIFETIME friends in Sacramento that he keeps very close to with REASON. And all his friends are true LIFETIME friends for any SEASON.

Frank Yan of Sacramento on Never Give Up

This is one of the SADDEST stories ever told in Hollywood. His name is Sylvestar Stallone. One of the BIGGEST and Most famous American Movie superstars. Back in the day,Stallone was a struggling actor in every definition. At some point,he got so broke that he stole his wife’s jewellery and sold it. Things got so bad that he even ended up homeless. Yes,he slept at the New York bus station for 3 days. Unable to pay rent or afford food. His lowest point came when he tried to sell his dog at the liquor store to any stranger. He didnt have money to feed the dog anymore. He sold it at $25 only. He says he walked away crying.

Two weeks later,he saw a boxing match between Mohammed Ali and Chuck Wepner and that match gave him the inspiration to write the script for the famous movie,ROCKY. He wrote the script for 20 hours! He tried to sell it and got an offer for $125,000 for the script. But he had just ONE REQUEST. He wanted to STAR in the movie. He wanted to be the MAIN ACTOR. Rocky himself. But the studio said NO. They wanted a REAL STAR.

They said he “Looked funny and talked funny”. He left with his script. Afew weeks later,the studio offered him $250,000 for the script. He refused. They even offered $350,000. He still refused. They wanted his movie. But NOT him. He said NO. He had to be IN THAT MOVIE.

After a while,the studio agreed,gave him $35,000 for the script and let him star in it! The rest is history! The movie won Best Picture,Best Directing and Best Film Editing at the prestigious Oscar Awards. He was even nominated for BEST ACTOR! The Movie ROCKY was even inducted into the American National Film Registry as one of the greatest movies ever.

And do You know the first thing he bought with the $35,000? THE DOG HE SOLD. Yes,Stallone LOVED HIS DOG SO MUCH that he stood at the liquor store for 3 days waiting for the man he sold his dog to. And on the 3rd day,he saw the man coming with the dog. Stallone explained why he sold the dog and begged for the dog back. The man refused. Stallone offered him $100. The man refused. He offered him $500. And the guy refused. Yes,he refused even $1000. And,Believe it or Not,Stallone had to pay $15,000 for the same,same dog he sold at $25 only! And he finally got his dog back.

And today,the same Stallone who slept in the streets and sold his dog JUST BECAUSE he couldnt even feed it anymore,is one of the GREATEST Movie Stars who ever walked the Earth.

Being broke is BAD. Really BAD. Have You ever had a dream? A wonderful dream? But You are too broke to implement it? Too tiny to do it? Too small to accomplish it? Damn! I’ve been there too many times!

Life is tough. Opportunities will pass you by,just because you are a NOBODY. People will want your products but NOT YOU. Its a tough world. If you aint already famous,or rich or “connected”,You will find it rough. Doors will be shut on You. People will steal your glory and crash your hopes.You will push and push. And yet NOTHING WILL HAPPEN.

And then your hopes will be crashed.You will be broke. Damn broke. You will do odd jobs for survival. You will be unable to feed yourself. And Yes,you may end up sleeping in the streets.
It happens. Yes,it does.

BUT NEVER LET THEM CRUSH THAT DREAM. Whatever happens to You,Keep Dreaming. Even when they crush your hopes,Keep Dreaming. Even when they turn you away,Keep Dreaming. Even when they shut you down,Keep Dreaming.

NO ONE KNOWS WHAT YOU ARE CAPABLE OF EXCEPT YOURSELF! People will judge You by HOW you look. And by WHAT You have. But please,Fight on! Fight for Your place in history. Fight for your glory. NEVER EVER GIVE UP!

Even if it means selling all your clothes and sleeping with the dogs,ITS OKAY! But AS LONG AS YOU ARE STILL ALIVE,Your STORY IS NOT OVER. Keep Up the Fight. Keep your dreams and hope alive.

Frank Yan of Sacramento has been a all time favorite of Stallone. Especially hearing about his struggle from an asipring actor to the person he is today.

Frank Yan of Sacramento on Building Your Career & Reputation

One Day Frank met up with a friend in Sacramento who is sucessful enough to climb quickly up the corporate ladder whilst still being so relatively young. Frank Yan asked him to tell him what was most important factor in him getting into his position. His answer was a single word: REPUTATION.

Frank thought of this conversation because Frank Yan have seen this at his college years past job of Bel Air Markets located in Gold River in Sacramento. At that time an Produce Clerk was advertised internally in the break room with the comment “Don’t worry about your resume, we have a good idea of what everyone is capable of”. Basically this translates to this: your reputation is your resume. This point was further proven by who got the job.


The person who got the Produce Clerk promotion had only been in their role as a Utility Clerk for only 7 months and is relatively very young and inexperienced in comparison to others who would have also applied. So why did he get it? Frank had thought he was a great fit and choice for the job. And people weren’t really surprised by it. What this man had built up at work is a great reputation. He was the “go to” person when anyone had a problem.



So, how did he build up his reputation and become the go to person to be? Important things Frank have noticed: Proactive: He was very proactive in taking on extra tasks and roles, so that his knowledge increased. This also means he adds tremendous value to work colleagues and the team. Knowledge: He had built up a superior knowledge of work ethic, related information and procedures. He has a great memory which means that once he does something once, it seems like he was an expert on it. Willingness to train/help: not only can he explain the procedures extremely well, when asked he would stop whatever he was doing and give that person his full attention.


Frank will end on a cautionary note today. A great reputation can take a long time to build, but an instant to destroy. Show up each day with your best game.
