YOUR OBSESSION IN CHASING FOR SOMETHING MEANINGFUL IN YOUR PROFESSIONAL AND PERSONAL LIFE DETERMINES YOUR AGE.
SO HOW YOUNG ARE YOU ?
How young are you ?
The kid inside you …
We must never loose that “little boy” inside of us. As we progress through life, we sometimes build a wall, a facade ; to protect ourselves, to represent our position, to demonstrate our capabilities or even to hide insecurities.
Perhaps in search for happiness , fullfillment ?
But happiness was when we ran barefooted in the soccer field, climbed tress and skinny dipping in a river. I believe most of us missed those days ; and should incorporate moments of our past in to our present lives.
We do not need to climb trees today but we can still have a bottle of wine and enjoy loud unrestricted laughter with our good old friends of yesteryears.
Act NOW !
Stop talking ……
Stop endless discussion …
Decide !!
Start doing, take action
More speed more urgency
Modify along the way …
Commit to a deadline …..
Be accountable
Do not let others WAIT.
Customers do not like waiting ?
Do YOU ???
Who are You ?
A reflection, a self evaluation.
Are you a shark ?
If you are , do you realize it ?
Or are you trying to climb trees ?
People can change.
Skills can be learnt.
But do also check out the “nature” of your SELF.
If you are a shark , then do not even try to climb a tree, for you will never beat a monkey.
And if you are a monkey, then do not even try swimming with the sharks in the ocean. You will be eaten alive.
And if you are indeed a shark, then behave like one too and not be a guppy.
WHO ARE YOU ?
***** **** and if you are a guppy, don’t pretend to be a shark too

Forgetting
FORGETTING.
A caption from the book
SELAMAT MENUNAIKAN IBADAH PUISI
by Joko Pinurbo
The easiest job to do is “forgetting”.
No need for intelligence. No need for education. Just a little thought.
That is why many people do not like calendars, clocks and writing. It inhibits “forgetting”.
Seemingly, forgetting feels good. Liberating. Temporary.
The main enemy of “forgetting” is “WHEN”.
The best friend of “forgetting” is “WHENEVER”
It is often too that WHEN and WHENEVER gets along well together.
(translated as understood by WL)
Deadlines
A task …
An action …
Someting you want to do …
SET A DEADLINE ……
Otherwise it will all just be a wish …a talk ….a dream …… that will never happen or just YOU giving empty promises to someone.
A commitment without a deadline means nothing.
Listen with no prejudice
Many people feel that they are listening well.
But their minds are already conjuring up answers even before they understand the real problem.
If you want to listen well, empty your thoughts first. Absorb and focus to what is being said. Have the sincerity to understand.
LISTEN WITHOUT ANY PREJUDICES.
Bear in mind you do not have an answer for everything.
And that’s entirely OK.
Listen …..
Listen to learn
Listen to understand
Listen to serve
Listen to solve a problem
Listen before you speak.
You will be more successful in selling if you listen better. Poor listening skills leads to wrong proposition and you will be wasting everyone’s time.
Not every customer is your customer. If you listen well, then you will also know when to walk away or when to keep quiet.
She is Kamala …
She is Kamala …..
The news repeating again and again that “Kamala is the FIRST WOMAN OF COLOR” to fill the VP chair and that “this is a victory for black women” is really sad.
She is Kamala Harris.
Praise her, focus on her credentials and qualities.
Why is there a need to emphasize so much of her “color”? Isn’t this “encouraging” racial polarization in modern America ?
Just treat her as a well deserving “human being” elected by the people …..regardless of race, gender, religion and color.
Sorry
A mistake made.
A wrong turn taken.
If only you are willing to say sorry, willing to own up, stop being defensive and take sincere actions to correct your fault, life will be less complicated and meaningful relationship will be forged.
Nobody is perfect … and the ability to admit your shortcomings shows dignity and humility.
