Team & Work

An always talked-over topic, teamwork.Permit me to share what I saw today..err.. at the airport.The teamwork that the cabin staff, ground crew up to the counter people is always great insofar as teamwork is concerned. Otherwise we will not board the flight right? As we observe, from step 1 to step 2 onwards, it is like already a common understanding (of course you may say SOP and so forth) but what I must record here is that the so called bond among the group of people that the management (I am sure HR would have a claim here) has rightfully placed must be appreciated. indeed different people may have come from different background; what matters is the ability to work together as a team.

Let us look from another perspective, more often and not, we can get into differences easily, say, over trivial matter or a place to eat or the kind of furniture to buy. Here the art of negotiation shall become handy I assure you.Emphasis:we can come into terms if we want to.

About Room

People say,
The biggest room in the world is the room of improvement.

Unity In Differences

As the Prophet pbuh had once said that differing views of my ummah is rahmat (blessing).To what extent that we fully understand the meaning of having differing views/opinions in our daily life? Be it at working place, at home, with our close friends & relatives or even having differences in politics for that matter? It is ALWAYS ok to be in disagreement and we can even agree to disagree in many circumstances. What matters most is the WAY we handle the differences. It has to be TACTFULLY and with all wisdom; then only what was said by the Prophet pbuh shall come into its practical meaning & understanding.May we be bleassed with His rahmah.

Abraham Lincoln: I don't pay much attention to a person who is not wiser today that he was yesterday.

Muhamad bin Abdullah saw yg ku kenali.

Salam,Hari memperingati junjungan besar Nabi Muhammad saw baru shj berlalu. Sambutan diadakan setiap tahun, saya masih kurang mengenali keperibadian Baginda. Azam, akan giat usaha mengenali Baginda samada melalui bhn bacaan mahupun hadiri majlis ilmu sirah. Ingin saya kongsikan petikan sebuah buku hebat yg (sedang)saya baca;Biografi Muhammad bin Abdullah karya Prof Zulkifli M Yusof (PTS)
..Sebelum Aminah melahirkan Muhammad, dia bermimpi melihat dirinya melahirkan seorang anak lelaki yg lahir bersama satu cahaya yg memenuhi bumi. Siti Aminah juga melihat dirinya berdoa kpd Tuhan yg Esa."Aku berlindung kpd Tuhan yg Esa supaya diselamatkan anak ini pd semua yg dengki;.Anak ini dilahirkan pd 12 Rabiulawal Thn Gajah atau mengikut ahli sejarah, 50 hari selepas peristiwa tentera gajah..
Banyak diperkatakan / dibincangkan betapa hebatnya Baginda, dari sekecil perkara spt cara bercakap (Baginda bercakap dgn jelas dan tegas, tidak cepat-cepat), cara Baginda memakai kasut (Baginda suka memakai kasut mula sebelah kanan),cara Baginda berniaga (sejujur dan amanah sbg seorang peniaga) hinggalah kehebatan Baginda di medan perang dan mentadbir negara (diiktiraf sbg Transformational Leader). Direnung, amat sedikit yg kita hayati (hidupkan) dan kadang2 memilih pula yg mana nak dicontohi atau yg mana tidak.

Baik kita mulakan dgn kenali Baginda semampu yg boleh kerana kita sbg umatnya amat beruntung dengan keyakinan kita terhadap Baginda (walau bukan berada di zaman Baginda) dan amat rugi jika pemimpin hebat spt Baginda tidak dpt kita contohi.salam.
Enough (eerr for now) on the well being of our country including the political situation/scenario currently on the play. Just a bit, remarks made by the Kelantan MB tonite that the new line up has marked the outgoing of the secular!very strong statement and can be interpreted at will.and of course, a distinct remark fr other people that would normally say the goods and no other than but the goods. It is OK to say such as confidence amongst the rakyat needs to be maintained. Can EPU cope up with the mgt style of our former Maybank CEO later??hopes.
As I explore deeper in this world ( I mean the e-world) the more I find that I know little. Praise to the Creator. salam.

Syukur to the All Mighty for the new cabinet line up, pretty responding to the recent waves.just that less women ministers on board, any signal of their significant voting power?dont know. Tganu.. I pity the Ganu people as other states are already up and running but YB Idris has asked the rakyat to stay calm (emphasis). very patience (or patient) indeed.
fr marketing perspective, what is the market positioning of the new line up?got to figure this out, is it giving way to 'org kita' or to new faces?
We pray our beloved Malaysia will stay calm (emphasis)and prosperous.gnite.

..Final Countdown

salam,Finally tomorrow is the D.Day. The announcement of our new cabinet members. Hopes for better new line-up from all over are rising amidst comments from quarters within the BN on how the cabinet is going to look like. Taxpayers aka commoners like me are much loaded with information (or rather privileged info) on talks of new faces vs the drop-outs. oh, by the way, the BA higher-ups are in talks with certain BN leaders for a merger (hop-in)?

Extension of the current situation..image

mm..The saga continues. Just that now two states have yet 'confirmed' their new captains. Tganu and Perlis. interference of the istana they say and this has given a mixed impression amongst the taxpayers aka voters whether or not the istana will merely listen to the advice of the PM or 'consulted' for that matter in certain importants matters such as the apt of MB. Patience rewards. More interesting, strong signal to the PMship on the issue of choice. The media esp gov-prone media must now reconsider the way news/issues etc being written/dessiminated to the public. Maturity awaits. At the moment, alternative media are available at finger tips, at least in my case. Lip service has been powerful mode indeed my dear.
Back on earth, Me..just bought a book on blog & blogging. the advice, identify yr niche before even starting yr bloging activities. as per my tagline, personal site and thoughts, i am deciding to address mixed issues, fr politics/current scenarios, experiences, observations and thoughts/opinions on certain issues.
salam.

What a day today.

Allah The Great.
phew.. it has been quite a day today , going around here and there meeting people of different background.
Okey, yesterday was even more pack schedule.
and of course, in the course of meeting people, the good topic that must not be left out would be the aftermath of the recent election.
just now, Perlis is getting a new MB, a new comer or proxy to someone. God knows. Tganu kite..yet to be appointed. and situation is getting hot as the non-gov. blogs/webs are now toying with the news that PakLah is in real situation (too diplomatic..) or rather under significant pressure (another diplomatic words)..
I met senior guy from SSP, the 84-yr old engineering company (tall green tower just next to the Sg Besi toll). Talking abt impacts of the election onto our projects. The double track railway fr central up to the north, to be steered by Gamuda-MMC consortia might be in a situation (diplomatic words)
in short, probably our politic is still immature, where certain quarters 'offer' to withdraw for certain mega projects just becoz it was politically-moved projects (and and the expense of the voters).Banners arnd KL asking PakLah to consider his PMship(diplomatic word again..)My pray to Him.

Let us talk abt hobby. Truly my hobby has been reading. Books that are aspiring like Rich Dad Poor Dad, The Magic of Thinking Big, Winning, The Law of Attraction etc..
Why I maintain this hobby for the past many many years as I find myself into the book as I read. As my other half always told me that it took me longer months if not years to finish a book as I will jot down the thoughts in the book into my PDA or elsewhere. I will digest it really.

Now I am finishing Why we want you to be rich , authored by Kiyosaki and Trump. Indeed, I bought recently Biografi of Muhammad saw, i need to know him closer.

adios/

Me and my introduction

Salam to all

Actually I am thrilled to have my own blog as I see that the recent election has really placed this mode of communication as important as it has been. Yes, I amnot an IT savvy kind of a person though I like to surf almost everyday, crossing continents and looking at scenarios.

Still working as a good employee of a company that I normally say Holy Owned by the government (of the day), my loyalty to this company is undivided. Bangi and Kajang as my roaming areas.

Guess, I need to have something to put in my newly-created blog..
