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 ???
Act NOW !
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.
Covid19 – psbb
Its not about just shutting down and having a bunch of procedures ….
WHAT is needed is for the authorities to enforce DISCIPLINE amongst the people.
Is the punishment severe enough ?
Who is really watching, enforcing …..24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 31 days a month ?
Perhaps the military should step in ?
This is a WAR afterall …..
.
What’s your value ?
Inevitably customers will bargain and negotiate for a better price. It is human nature.
So, as a salesperson – what is your worth ?
What is your value ?
Where do you draw the line in giving better prices ?
In your quest to deliver great product and services, your SELF-WORTH is important too.
Should you have a feeling of desperation or being pushed into a corner by a customer, perhaps you have wrongly positioned your product or even perhaps chosen a wrong customer who does not appreciate your product/services.
They say that “Customer is King”.
But remember …… a good KING is compassionate, understands his subjects and will not make his people suffer.
Hence, are you then serving and being loyal to the right KING ? Find a KING who appreciates you, values you and not taking you for granted.
New-ME
As we forge ahead into the new normal era, we will need to redefine our niche and strengths again.
We will need to adapt, change and re-change many times to achieve a balance on what our new routines should be like.
Our past strengths could be our new weaknesses today. Be prepared to leave some of our “old me” behind.
Create a NEW-ME …..a one that is stronger and compassionate as well as living a life of mutual respect and empathy.
Open we Must
After 2 months of closure, for many, the risk of falling sick is now overshadowed by the fear of hunger or not being able to provide food for their loved ones.
Like it or not the economy has to open up again.We must be brave to move forward whilst enforcing stringent rules to punish thosewrong-doers.
Let us all be responsible on our personal hygiene, social distancing rules and adapting to new behaviors. Easier said than done, but Open we MUST
Way of life …
How does one tell one’s daughter to use less of her mobile phone when he himself has heightened the usage of his own handphone in this Covid19 lockdown ?
Over the past few years, we seem to have acknowledged the fact that children growing up today are spending too much time on their mobile phones. The “people to people” interaction seem to be missing significantly.
Most social interaction and activities are done through their mobiles. Chatting, gaming, shopping, googling, posting about themselves (and others) and even just merely “scrolling to see what others are doing” have become a daily favorite hobby weekdays or weekends alike. Some are even expressing that being online is a relaxing therapy and they can be stressed up if they have no access to Instagram, FB or WA.
Is this an unhealthy way of growing up ? Or are we just being old-fashion stuck in our own minds on how the future generation should behave ? Did we experience Gojek, Tokopedia and Grab when we were growing up years ago ? Did we ever imagine we could ever be “prisoners” to the wrath of the Covid19 ?
Humbled by the current situation and reality, who are we to judge ? How can we ever predict and dictate what is best for our children in this one single aspect of life on their “need and addiction to mobile phones” ?
You
You can make a difference.
Anyone can make a difference.
