cheers! February 08 Hari yang malangKepada para kawan sekalian,
Hari ini sememangnya salah satu hari yang begitu memenatkan jiwa saya... Kepenatan itu menyebabkan jiwa saya tidak tenteram dan akibatnya, mood saya hari ini terjejas dan amat buruk menjelang hari petang tadi. Dalam perjalanan saya pulang ke rumah, kesesakan lalulintas yang teruk menambah kepada kesengsaraan jiwa yang saya alami. Tetapi sebagai seorang pemandu yang berhemah and yang mempunyai toleransi yang tinggi kepada tekanan, saya masih boleh menahan and mengawal perasaan perit di dalam hati saya...
Perjalanan pulang hari ini mengambil masa selama satu jam setengah iaitu sebanyak 2 kali lebih daripada perjalanan pulang biasa yang lebih kurangnya 45 minit. Apabila sampai di rumah pula, saya disambut dengan bil-bil yang begitu banyak sekali and melebihi RM 1000!! Saya mengatakan kepada diri saya bahawa hari ini memanglah salah satu daripada hari yang buruk!! Dalam keadaan yang merungsingkan diri dan kebingungan terpaksalah saya mengaku kepada nasib saya yang malang hari ini.....
Harapan saya adalah untuk suatu hari yang cerah dan mengembirakan esok... Bersama-sama saya, tolonglan mendoakan kebahagian untuk saya!
Sekian Terima Kasih!!! February 04 I need help...I'm bored!!! Gosh, I need help... guys, if there's anything interesting happening out there, please fill me in so that I can actually do something useful with my time!! These days, I really don't know what I'm actually doing with my free time... I wander aimlessly and I have no real motivation to do anything... Pretty sad huh? So, any idea what can I do? January 18 Who said working long hours is good? Read on...Extract of Mr. Narayana Murthy's Speech during Mentor Session : I know people who work 12 hours a day, six days a week, or more. Some people do so because of a work emergency where the long hours are only temporary. Other people I know have put in these hours for years. I don't know if they are working all these hours, but I do know they are in the office this long. Others put in long office hours because they are addicted to the workplace. Whatever the reason for putting in overtime, working long hours over the long term is harmful to the person and to the organization. There are things managers can do to change this for everyone's benefit. Being in the office long hours, over long periods of time, makes way for potential errors. My colleagues who are in the office long hours frequently make mistakes caused by fatigue. Correcting these mistakes requires their time as well as the time and energy of others. I have seen people work Tuesday through Friday to correct mistakes made after 5 PM on Monday. Another problem is that people who are in the office long hours are not pleasant as company. They often complain about other people (who aren't working as hard); they are irritable, or cranky, or even angry. Other people avoid them. Such behaviour poses problems, where work goes much better when people work together instead of avoiding one another. As Managers, there are things we can do to help people leave the office. First and foremost is to set the example and go home ourselves. I work with a manager who chides people for working long hours. His words quickly lose their meaning when he sends these chiding group e-mails with a time-stamp of 2 AM, Sunday. Second is to encourage people to put some balance in their lives. For instance, here is a guideline I find helpful: 1) Wake up, eat a good breakfast, and go to work. 2) Work hard and smart for eight or nine hours. 3) Go home. 4) Read the books/comics, watch a funny movie, dig in the dirt, play with your kids, etc. 5) Eat well and sleep well. This is called recreating. Doing steps 1, 3, 4, and 5 enable step 2. Working regular hours and recreating daily are simple concepts. They are hard for some of us because that requires 'personal change'. They are possible since we all have the power to choose to do them. In considering the issue of overtime, I am reminded of my oldest son. When he was a toddler, if people were visiting the apartment, he would not fall asleep no matter how long the visit, and no matter what time of day it was. He would fight off sleep until the visitors left. It was as if he was afraid that he would miss something. Once our visitors' left, he would go to sleep. By this time, however, he was over tired and would scream through half the night with nightmares. He, my wife, and I, all paid the price for his fear of missing out. Perhaps some people put in such long hours because they don't want to miss anything when they leave the office. The trouble with this is that events will never stop happening. That is life !! Things happen 24 hours a day. Allowing for little rest is not ultimately practical. So, take a nap. Things will happen while you are asleep, but you will have the energy to catch up when you wake. Hence... "LOVE YOUR JOB, BUT NEVER FALL IN LOVE WITH YOUR COMPANY BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN THE COMPANY STOPS LOVING YOU" -- Narayana Murthy January 17 Business venture...Whenever I hear about another success story, especially among people I know, I just say to myself, "dang, that could've been me!".... And for the next few days, thoughts of doing something on my own would keep running in my mind... I'd always try to psyche myself up to think up a new revolutionary idea that would take the world by surprise and sell like hot cakes... But that's always the ambition... the likelihood of such a killer product that will swarm the market globally is as thin as paper! *that's me pouring cold water on my own ideas*
After the hype of having my own business fades away, it's back to square one and i'll be up and about my usual work schedule till another sucess story comes alone... Gosh, it seems almost too predictable a pattern that the mere thought of another business venture is one doomed to fail right from the beginning!! *touch wood on that*
One has to make a stand for what he/she believes in and I suppose, that's where the brave thrive and the weak shrivel up and dissapear like a speck of dust blown away with the wind... Hence the term 'Gone with the wind'... or is that a classic movie from the early 1900s. Lol, whatever it is, I guess this time around I should put my foot down and keep the idea burning rather than let it get blown away with the slightest gust of wind.
Any ideas from the floor would be much appreciated! Longevity Test...Hey guys,
