what’s your value dude?
April 7, 2009 at 1:02 pm (motivation)
dalam mana2 organisasi pun, setiap pekerja akan dinilai melalui value masing2.
jadi adalah amat penting untuk kita semua tahu apa value kita yang boleh kita sumbangkan kepada company.
to be ‘more-than-average’ worker; atau dalam kata lain to be ‘noticed’ by the management,
we need to acquire specific values that eventually made us more than average, and made us noticed.
in short, we need to be valueable in order to be appreciated.
as i mentioned earlier, dah ramaiiiiiii sangat orang-orang yang ‘biasa’ dipasaran. yes, company still hire orang-orang biasa ini. tapi yang akan LEBIH diberi penghargaan ialah orang-orang yang luar biasa.
no matter what you do for a living.
despatch. kerani. engineer. manager. boss. kuli.
be valuable.
how?
know what is required of you.
and PERFECTS it. IMPROVES on it. work BEYOND it.
for a professional management, they don’t look at skin colors, but mostly on the values that any colored-skin carries with them.
insyaallah. even dizaman orang kena buang kerja, akan ada jugak rezeki untuk kita dimana-mana.
just carry our value with us any where we go!
helping you helping me

as crazy as this may sound;
please try this, ok?
peeps,
to get away from our trouble,
help other people whose in trouble!
without realising it, once we start helping people, many doors will be opened for us instead.
at the end, we are actually helping ourselves by helping other people!
ada orang yang akan tak setuju dan a bit cynical dengan theory ni.
aku ambil contoh, menderma kepada orang susah, semasa kita sedang susah.
ada orang akan be a bit defensive:-
“aku nak makan pun tak cukup, lagi nak bagi duit kat orang?”
wrong concept peep!
kita akan selalu terfikir macam ni, sebab kita tak percaya dengan konsep “lagi banyak kita bagi lagi banyak kita dapat balik”
islam thought us this from day one.
all great philosphers preach this every time.
what we give we will get back, even more. (in fact islam did mentioned about 10-fold)
jadi ini bukan hanya berkisaran duit yang kita derma/sedekah. it’s totally bigger than that.
in my personal opinion, this is simply a practise so we can open up more to our surrounding. don’t get too disheartened or miserable with our own problem that we can see only ourselves most of time.
because life is not meant to be like that.
remember the world does not always revolved around us.
sebab itu kita bayar zakat.
sebab itu kita harus tolong even anjing yang tersepit.
make it a habit to involve other’s into our life. bukan hanya masa suka-suka.
be bigger.
remember whatever we do for others, it will end up helping us!.

The journey has begun
February 2, 2009 at 1:31 pm (emotional, motivation, UK 2009)
Disclaimer:-
Please read with an open heart and an open mind. All written here on are only meant for guidance for those who decide to walk through similar path in the future. May all begin well, and end well. Praise to Allah for every breath that we take, every step of the way.
It’s kind of confirmed now. I was actually contemplating on writing the progress here. But I do believe that my experience would be able to benefit some of you, if not all of you.
So here it goes.
We begin our mornings nowadays with only one aim in our mind: by September 2009 a bunch of us will be moving to the UK for about a year.
As confident as I may sound, do believe that I have a huge butterfly in my stomach now. It would be so much easier if only I could take a peek on the future. But I can’t. Nobody can in fact. So the best approach that we can come out with, is this:
THINK. DOA. PLAN. DOA. EXECUTE. DOA. TAWAKAL. DOA.
And continuously hoping for the very best from Allah.
The pro and cons? Yes, that was the tricky bit. This journey is NOT going to be easy. That one I know for sure. But we so much want to make it happen that the cons seemed somewhat chewable. If am I still here by September 2009, then something truly unavoidable would somehow gotten into our way. I would accept it with open heart then.
But for now, let’s focus on the effort AS IF we are going, and ONLY going. For easier concentration. To attract, I need to be. Remember the Law of Attraction?
Now the following has started and under progress:-
1) Selling one of the houses
2) Selling one of the cars
3) Settling as much debt as possible
4) Looking for accommodation in Birm
5) Looking for suitable school for the kids in Birm
6) Looking for suitable job in Birm (for me), if any
7) Saving all the cash that we can within this 6 months span
And still a LOT more to be done. And it’s all exciting, frightening, mind-wrecking blended into one.
As I said, this would be a difficult path to choose. But we simply can’t resist it. Let us just hold our breath and walk through it first. With Allah protecting us all the way through.
Our journey had just begun. With a big butterfly in my stomach. And yes, I’m nervous like hell!
“Dengan nama Allah Yang Maha Pemurah Lagi Maha Mengasihani. Dan sesiapa yang bertaqwa kepada Allah (dengan mengerjakan suruhanNya dan meninggalkan laranganNya), nescaya akan dijadikan baginya jalan keluar (dari segala perkara yang menyusahkannya).
Serta memberinya rezeki dari jalan yang tidak terlintas hatinya. Dan (ingatlah), sesiapa berserah diri bulat-bulat kepada Allah, maka Allah cukupkan baginya (untuk menolong dan menyelamatkannya). Sesungguhnya Allah tetap melakukan segala perkara yang di kehendakiNya. Allah telahpun menentukan kadar dan masa bagi berlakunya tiap-tiap sesuatu”
motivasi pagi…
January 21, 2009 at 10:33 am (motivation)
Aku dah lama tak bermotivasi kan? Kahkahkahkahkah!
Tapi hari ni aku terpanggil nak tulis ni.
Bebeh,
Whatever we do, do it our best!
Bagi aku, tak kiralah jawatan apa yang kita pegang pun, setinggi mana kita belajar pun, yang penting apa sahaja position kita dalam company, cuba aim untuk jadi better than average.
Orang2 yang average dah banyak sangat dalam population. Like a mass group doing the rat race. So untuk kemeslahatan kendiri, kita kena upgradekan diri kita untuk jadi lebih than average. Kalau boleh, antara yang terbaik dalam level kita masing2.
My personal encounter, kat tempat kerja aku ada sorang kakak yang hanya ada SPM. Yang sekali pandang orang tengok sebelah mata la kira, when you see what’s officially on paper. But she triumphed above it all. Dari kerani cabuk, admin assistant, sekarang dah jadi PA untuk Executive Director. Bonus 3-4 bulan. Scored high mark dalam appraisal. What made her stand of? Her attitude! Excellent attitude. Dia selalu buat lebih dari apa yang majikan expect her to do. Never say no attitude.
Babes aku tau ada jugak orang akan kata “buat apa buat kerja lebih2? Gaji banyak tu juga! Bukan kompeni bapak aku nak give 110%!!” kalau kau fikir kau betul dan bahagia buat gitu, teruskan lah. Tapi aku confirm kau takkan pegi jauh la ye. Kalau kita bagus, sooner or later, words get around. When words get around, you will be noticed and acknowledged. When you were noticed, THEN it’s time to demand for more. Dan hanya employer bodoh bingai sahaja yang tak reward orang yang bagus. Kalau employer bodoh camtu, silalah cari tempat kerja lain. Jgn risau, with our credentials that we have built up throughout the years, akan ada tempat untuk kita dalam market. BUT first, we need to build up our credentials by being better than average. And that does not happen overnight I can assure you.
So start having this better than average attitude.
How?
1) Know our scope of work well, and prepare to do a bit more each time. Buat masa ni jangan fikir dulu duit yang sama yang kita dapat walaupun kita buat kerja lebih. Money will come for those who earn it. Give ourselves some time ok?
2) Initiatif sikit. Utilise our brain to help propose solution. Boss tak kisah kita kerani ke, budak workshop ke, engineer ke. Asalkan kita boleh menyumbang sesuatu yang bernas.
3) Be prepared before coming to the office so that we know what to expect. Bila kita tau apa yang perlu kita buat, maka kita tak buang masa kat opis hanya untuk clarify tugasan kita.
4) Buat sesuatu untuk tajamkan skill yang perlu dalam bidang kita. Go for English classes (if that’s important), computer classes, pick up more books to read, etc. Majikan akan lebih appreciate kalau depa tau kita amik inisiatif untuk tingkatkan diri tanpa perlu disuruh. At this point of time we will already be acknowledged of having good attitude.
5) POSITIVE! POSITIVE! POSITIVE! Jangan komplen banyak. But focus on solution. Kalau tak boleh nak attend to the problem ourselves, there are always bosses to shove the problems to. But as mentioned, please know our stuff well before we start talking! Kang tak tau ujung pangkal kang haru la jugak.
Okeh, this should be enough for this morning. Entah apa demam aku gamaknya hahahahhah!
Selamat berkerja babes. Work sucks, I know. Tapinya sementelahan at the moment we don’t have any choice, apa kata kita buat sebaik mungkin. You can’t do wrong being excellent! Jangan salah faham, being excellent for ourselves, not the company!!!
