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 ???

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.

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.

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
