Thoughts Become Things!

Have you ever read the Secret or at least watch the video? You might familiar with the Law of Attraction. This is a sample speech of Toastmasters International which the speaker participate in a contest which I don't know the location.

As human being is always forgetful, it is indeed a great reminder in case you did not visualize what you always wanted to have, and it is a reminder for me as well!

Put your law of attraction to work!

p/s: Have you created your vision board?

The Power of Words

Simple changes in your words might help you to change your world. It is the matter of how you say it determine how people react to it. I learn on my daily job how some people easily convey their ideas and everybody buys that ideas. On the other hand, another people have a good solid idea but because of the way they convey was not good enough people just ignore them. Worse case happens when people took the idea and sell it to other people. This video perhaps can give some illustrations on how to convey your words.

CHANGE YOUR WORDS, CHANGE YOUR WORLD!

Managerial Types

UP THE HIERARCHY

In lower management

You work hard and pray hard.

In middle management

You work smart and pray harder.

In top management

You play smart, move faster and watch who is behind you!

Once you involved in career world, management skills is a necessity in order for you to climb higher or get promoted. No matter which department you are working with now, there will be a manager (or some company might define as head, VP, etc). But first you need to know which type of managerial you are.
In his book "How to Manage Effectively in the New Millenium", Dr. Henry R. Meyer has mentioned there are several types of Management:

(a) COMMANDER : authoritative, stern, forceful.

(b) AVOIDER: sets low goals, not ambitious, routine work, asute.

(c) PLEASER: PR type, applies 'placebo psychology', popular.

(d) ATTACKER: argumentative, demotivating, hot-tempered.

(e) PERFORMER: like prestige, recognition, impressionable.

(f) ACHIEVER: sets high objectives, dynamic, workaholic.

(g) STRATEGIST: Skillful, calculative, diplomatic, suave, intelligent, has showmanship.

Which Managerial Type that suit you?
Me? I believe I am a PERFORMER or a STRATEGIST. But you need to asked those who close to me to give more accurate answer. :p

Entrepreneur in Rembau

On my way back to my wife's kampung, I dropped by at Petronas. There is a burger stall, yup - as u can see in the picture. After make a phone call with my wife, we decided to buy the burger.

While waiting, being a 'peramah' guy, I started a conversation. They just started for about 2 weeks. When I asked on their daily sales, he said about 60 - 80. He's working as a postman and doing this business as his part time together with his wife.

Analysis:
The burger per pc is RM2.50.
Frankfurter per pc is RM2.00.
Special/cheese per pc RM3.50 - RM4.30.

If average gross margin is RM1.
80pcs = RM80.

Monthly income : RM2400.
The amount is more than his monthly income as a postman.

I believe after 2 weeks the numbers will grow. They might have sales about 100+ per month. i.e. RM3000 per month.

He's earning the pay as per executive working in KL by doing this part-time and he's living in Rembau.

All the best to the brother and hope he can sustain the business. Hopefully one day he might be another 'silent millionaire'.

Waiting for the End

This song is dedicated to bro Farid. Why? Simply because he's using this song as his caller ringtone. In my daily job (also for other personal activities) I always call Farid for consultation, business matters, lepaking and jamming. After thousand and one time calling, the song stick in my mind. The worst part is when I asked Farid about the title of the song, he said he doesn't know and he accept the caller ring tone because it is free.

After a few month of searching I finally find out from local radio station mentioning Linkin Park and this song was on air. Googling the title I finally found this song. Started from there, I viewed the video at Youtube and download it's mp3 and mp4.

Based on current situation, the lyrics kinda suit with the environment. It can relate with what happening around me.

Initially, I hated people who play a single song repeatedly. However, this is the first song ever in the world that I repeat more than 20 times in a row while doing my work. This song has already anchored (as per NLP definition of anchor) inside of me and I will remember Farid with this song.

Hope for a fantastic future undertaking for my very good friend.


Waiting For The End

This is not the end
This is not the beginning
Just a voice like a riot
Rocking every revision
But you listen to the tone
And the violent rhythm
Though the words sound steady
Something emptys within em

We say yeah

With fists flying up in the air
Like we’re holding onto something that’s invisible there
Cuz we’re living at the mercy of the pain and the fear
Until we dead it forget it
Let it all disappear

Waiting for the end to come
Wishing I had strenght to stand
This is not what I had planned
It’s out of my control

Flying at the speed of light
Thoughts were spinning in my head
So many things were left unsaid
It’s hard to let you go

I know what it takes to move on
I know how it feels to lie
All I wanna do is trade this life for something new
Holding on to what I haven’t got

Sitting in an empty room
Trying to forget the past
This was never meant to last
I wish it wasn’t so

What was left when that fire was gone
I thought it felt right but that right was wrong
All caught up in the eye of the storm
And trying to figure out what it’s like moving on

And I don’t even know what kind of things I said
My mouth kept moving and my mind went dead
Picking up those pieces now where to begin
The hardest part of ending is starting again

All I wanna do is trade this life for something new
Holding on to what I haven’t got

This is not the end
This is not the beginning
Just a voice like a riot
Rocking every revision
But you listen to the tone
And the violent rhythm
Though the words sound steady
Something emptys within em

We say yeah

With fists flying up in the air
Like we’re holding onto something that’s invisible there
Cuz we’re living at the mercy of the pain and the fear
Until we dead it forget it
Let it all disappear
