Persistence + Datafox = S​ uccess 

Written by ​Regie Belarmino 

 

It  was  three  years  ago  when  I  joined  the  DataFox  Upworker  family.  My  eldest  daughter  just  turned  7  at  the  time.  She  is 
homeschooled  as  we  felt as a family that we can do a better job of educating our child. Our daughter was highly uncoordinated 
and  needs  a lot of improvement in her motor skills. Fencing was a sport we stumbled into as we were looking for a PE class for 
her to attend. 
 

 

Her  coach  encouraged  her  to  compete at 8 yrs old. She won bronze on her first competition. On her second stint, she didn’t 

make  it  and  got  eliminated.  She  cried  for  a  week  and  begged  us  if  she  could  have  more  training.  Our  heart broke as we knew 

how  bad  failure  can  be  and  how  it  can  make or break someone. To experience failure firsthand in front of a crowd and at such 

a young age was also something parents would dread for their child. 

 

We  agreed  to  her  request  and  her  coach  was  kind  enough  to  give  her  the  gift  of  his  time  and  energy.  She was uncoordinated 

but patiently did what she was told. So many mistakes, so much sweat and tears.  

 

A  few  months  after  her  defeat,  she  began  to  seriously  compete.  She  won  tournament  after  tournament.  Her  dedication, 

persistence, and willpower opened up new doors for her. We could never have been more proud. 

 

What  does  this  have  to do with DataFox? Because of the nature of work, I was able to support my daughter in her activities and 

provide  for  her  needs  and  that  of  my family. I learned through my daughter the value of persistence, humility, and compassion. 

No matter how much success she has gained, she has remained the same kind and humble child.  

 

My  daughter’s  experience  is  what  I  use to deal with my colleagues each and every day. I have the most excellent “coaches” 

(mentors)  in  DataFox.  I  fail  more  than  I  can  count  but  I  don’t  let  that  get  me  down.  I  learned  in  our  company  the  value of 

empathy, teamwork, and focus. I take the lessons of failure and use them to strive for success.  

 

I  share  my  knowledge and blessings to my peers with the hope that they can make something useful out of what I shared. I 

don’t  hold  back  on  mentoring  as  this  is  what others have done for me as well. I realized that by being honest and kind, you can 

open new paths to success. Their success is my success. Positivity leads to more positivity. Negativity leads nowhere.  

 

I  thank  DataFox  for  the  opportunity  to  work  with  the  most  wonderful  group  of  people one can ever have. I understand that the 

experience in working with each other may vary from person to person. It all boils down to positivity and empathy.  

 

My  family  time  is  what  I  value  the  most  and  I  treat my peers as part of my family. DataFox acknowledges what is important to 

each  and  every  person  in  the  teams.  The  company  has  helped  me  and  my  family  in  more ways than I can think of. I found my 

“happy” place, an extended family, and a place to learn new and exciting things. 

 

Success is not just measured by monetary value. It is the sum of all the satisfaction you get from doing a job well done. 

  an uncoordinated child can stab her way to success, just imagine what adults armed with persistence can do?
