Thought of the day #5

We always heard a phrase "two heads is better than one", which implies that work as a team is better than working individually. The result will be a lot better from doing the jobs or tasks individually. A person ability is limited, but if it is combine together it will create a synergy that will boost up the performance.

There are two important element in team work namely trust and commitment. These two elements will ensure the team will work effectively. Through trust and commitment, this will eliminate communication barrio among the teammates.

So work as a team, build trust among teammates and increase their commitment in solving the task efficiently. Through team work we can make thing become easy. As the malay proverbs says
"Berat sama dipikul, ringan sama dijinjing"

Thought of the day # 4

We heard people complaints about their job stress, life and many other things. Today I'm going to share a story that may help resolve those issues.

"Life is like a cup of coffee"
-the original author of the story was unknown but highly appreciated.

A group of alumni get together to meet with their lecturer. The meeting turn out to be to sharing moment about their stress of work and life. The lecturer offered them coffee. He than went to the kitchen and return a while later with several cups which are, porcelain, plastic, crystal, and glass. He than offered them to help them selves with the coffee. Once all of them have their coffee, the lecturer said:

"Look, imagine that life is the coffee, and the work or job is the cup. It is natural that all of us want the best for ourselves. When you all help your selves with the coffee, you all took the best cup and leave behind the plain one. You even eying on each others' cup. But what you really want is the coffee not the cup. The cup does not even add quantity to the coffee. Its function just to contain the coffee. If life is the coffee, than the jobs and works is the cup. Their function is merely to contain life. So savor the coffee, not focusing on the cup. When we focus our mind on the stress of work, we will not enjoy the true taste of life. So, focus on the life it self and you would be grateful.
Live simply, care deeply."

People always looking, searching on how to be happy in their life. Through happiness it will create enthusiasm to work and improve one productivity and efficiency. So, the question is how to be happy?

Here a simple answer to it:

"The happiest people is not those that have the best of everything, but those that make the best of everything that they have"

In other word, be grateful with what you have, and maximize the potential of what you have. Even in Islam also Muslims are urged to be grateful and thankful to Allah for all the bounties and strive their best with what they have.

A piece of advice

We occasionally take several thing for granted without knowing the prior importance of that particular thing.

There are two things that we always take it for granted and never pay good intention to it. Those things namely communication and punctuality. People always ignore the importance of good communication with others. Through good communication we can build good relationship with others and creating a conducive living environment. Communication is a bridge the connect ourselves to others. If we burn down that bridge, how are we going to connect with others effectively and efficiently?

Punctuality is another thing that we normally take for granted. We always assume that others will wait for us. We never consider those people feeling. But what if we are the one in their place, what would we feel? Punctuality signifies our commitment and sense of responsibility towards certain matters. If we ignore the element of punctuality, it simple shows that we are not committed and responsible enough to that thing.

So my friends, let us change our attitude. Let improve what is good and left behind what is bad. May we be among those who will succeed and prosper insyaallah.

A person once told me:
"betulkan kebiasaan itu, dan biasakan yang betul itu"
