Salam pertemuan, sesudah sekian lama tak menaip, lalu perjuangan harus diteruskan..Er sebenarnya topik ni dah lama diketengahkan namun sebenarnya perlu bagi kita berfikir secara mendalam. Kenapa baru sekarang? bermaksud kenapa baru sekarang nak memboikot barangan keluaran Yahudi?

Mengikut maklumat produk-produk ini adalah milik/penyokong Yahudi

Jika anda ada sebarang maklumat atau pertanyaan sila hubungi PPIM di Hotline:019-3591000

Sebenarnya sudah lama perkara ini boleh dilaksanakan. Tapi sebagai contoh sudah lama Malaysia sendiri menghalang rakyatnya membuat Passport ke negara rejim itu sendiri. Itu sepatutnya satu teladan yang patut dicontohi oleh kita, rakyat Malaysia. Ingat jangan fikir apa yang negara telah sumbangkan pada kita, tapi sepatutnya kita berfikir apa yang telah kita sumbangkan pada negara..walau tak banyak pun sedikit sudah memadai. Ada apa dengan boikot? Ya,mungkin sekarang permulaan langkah sebagai mencari identiti kita. Mari kita lihat dengan lebih jauh lagi ke mana hala-tuju ekonomi diri dan negara? Kenapa baru sekarang nak menyekat pembelian daripada Tesco?
Bagaimana pula pasaraya besar yang lain daripada luar seperti cendawan tumbuh di negara kita? Sebenarnya semua ini boleh dilihat sebagai kebangkitan rakyat Malaysia sendiri untuk menyokong peruncit tempatan, disamping bersikap positif terhadap kemampuan sendiri dan kebolehan sendiri. Pasaraya tempatan sepatutnya untuk rakyat tempatan bersikap lebih adil dan telus, sentiasa memikirkan nasib dan keadaan persekitaran. Ingatlah keuntungan saja tak menjamin kesetiaan pelanggan, malahan rakyat sekarang lebih bijak memilih pasaraya mana yang lebih banyak membantu rakyatnya. Sokonglah barangan tempatan, disamping tubuhkan latihan bagi usahawan-usahawan muda untuk meningkat naik.
Secara tak langsung usaha ini haruslah secara berterusan, secara sedar atau tidak di ruangan blogspot atau blogger-blogger ada mereka yang mengusahakan perniagaan mereka sokonglah mereka ini...mungkin mereka memerlukan tapak permulaan untuk berkembang...

REACHING FOR THE STARS
======================
Lagu: Zul Mahat
Lirik: Irfan Khairi (IK)

Looking back
To the times I had
I never knew I'd come this far
Away...

Here I am
Ain't turning back again
The dream I had seems so close
To me...

I will fight
Everytime I fall
And one night
You'll see me standing tall

I'm reaching for the sky
I'll raise the stakes
I'll make mistakes
But I'll do it my way

I'm reaching for the stars
I'm not afraid
I will not break
No matter what they say to me

I'm reaching for the sky
I'll take my stance
I'll grab this chance
With all my heart and soul

I'm reaching higher... higher
Reaching for the stars

Studies by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and the American Psychological Association show that stress on the job siphons of more than US$500 billion from the economy. A survey by an insurance company showed that 50% of those interviewed said that stress reduced their productivity. 46% said that they experienced more job stress now than a few years ago. Minor illnesses like headaches, backaches, anxiety and fatigue and major illness like hypertension, heart attacks, ulcers, strokes are common in places where workers experiences a high level of stress. How will this apply in Malaysia? We witness a high rural urban migration, we see the setting up of high-tech fast paced industries ; we rush to and from work. Many of us are in the rat race, working ourselves towards becoming type A personalities.

A neglected risk factor.

Stress is a highly complex and personal matter. It affects all of us in the way we feel, behave, perform at work, and fall prey to accidents or illness. Stress occurs whenever we feel under any pressure. It also a response to any situation to which we are accustomed. It is virtually impossible to formulate an accurate definition of stress because it varies so much according to person's perception of situation, as well as his ability to cope it.

Perception of Stress.

Different people, when confronted with the same information, situation or problem, will respond to it in different ways. What feels like overwhelming stress to one person may be a stimulating challenge to another or mere trifle to a third person.

Our genetic endowment, upbringing, education and previous experience in dealing with such situations will determine whether they are challenging, threatening, acceptable or boring and tension, physiological, such as a rise in blood pressure; or behavioral, such as defying authority.

Some Stress is Necessary.

A certain amount of stress is essential for our personal growth; it gives us a zest for life, spurs us on, keep us going and makes us creative. Too few challenges make our lives boring and frustrating and this can be just as stressful as too many challenges. It has been said that finding the right balance is like adjusting the strings of a musical instrument to obtain melodies tune : too loose the tune will break.

Stress is a fact of life : we can't escape it. Any change, pleasant or not, is stressful to some degree. A new love affair, getting married, going on holiday and being promoted are all examples of positive kind of stress. Bereavement, being burgled and breaking leg, on the other hand, are all negative type of stress, but as long as these experiences are few and far between, most of us would recover from them without any long-term ill effects. Becoming tense over making a difficult decision, getting anxious about the outcome of an uncertain situation, worrying about the problems of relationships with others and feeling frightened when faced with dangers are all perfectly normal reactions. The stress response prepares us to face all these difficult situations.

How to Recognize Stress

In order to recognize the signs and symptoms of stress in yourself or anyone else, it is necessary to understand what effect it has on the body and mind and on behavior.

The "fight or flight" machanism
Whenever we receive a stress signal, whether real or imaginary, a biological mechanism called the "fight or flight" response comes into operation. The situations that cause this response are known as stressors.

• As soon as the brain receives a stress signal, the production of adrenaline and other stress hormones is stepped up
• The liver release sugar and fats, which flow into the bloodstream to provide fuel for quick energy
• Red blood cells flood the blood-stream, carrying more oxygen to the muscles of the limbs and brain
• The heart beats faster and blood pressure rises, ensuring that sufficient blood reaches the necessary areas. This can sometimes be felt as pounding heart of racing pulse
• The blood clotting mechanism is activated in anticipation of injury. This clotting mechanism ensures that the clots seal up the injured blood vessels
• The muscles become tense in preparation for action: leg muscles are tense in readiness to run; fists and jaw are clenched, ready to fight
• Digestion ceases, so blood may be diverted to the muscles and brain
• Perspiration increases in anticipation of the heat that may be induced by fighting
• The mouths feel dry
• The bowel and bladder muscles may become loose so there may be desire to defecate or urinate
• The pupils dilate to let more light in so that you can see in the dark
• The senses are heightened, enabling quick action and decision making

The person who undergoes these changes is in prime state of readiness to deal with danger, challenges or other feel of imaginary demands. It is also important, however, to recognize that this state is a temporary one, reserved to deal with emergencies. The body cannot maintain it as a lasting condition.

Once the immediate threat has been removed or overcome, or after we have adapted to the disturbance, a reverse mechanism is activated and the body returns to its normal state. If however, the stressor persists, another stressor develops or the resistance continues after the stressor has been removed, the alarm stage is replaced by stress response which can show itself in a variety of ways.

" Time and tide waits for no man".

Studies show that everyone, on the average, are interrupted every minute or so. Their time is controlled by persistent, bothersome and energetic people. Robert Guest's study found out that an industrial foreman images between 237 and 1073 separate incidents with no real breaks. Interruptions, wasteful, affects almost everyone.

• Time is inelastic - demand has no influence on supply
• Time is irreplaceable. Once it has gone, it has gone forever
• 1/4 of the demands of our time, can be thrown away
• 600 hours each year spent on things that if we stopped doing, no one will notice

Remember - we are here for "results" not "to do"

Vilfredo Pareto - 80/20 rule. We often spend 80% of our time on work that contribute about 20% to our work objective

"The concept of vital few and trivial many"

Some Tool

• Daily - to do list
• Cut the rituals - Coffee breaks, etc
• Hours in the morning - most creative
• Successes in the first hour
• Arrive early
• THINK - can increase productivity by 30%, can reduce time taken to complete task by 1/3
• Start with the easiest
• Interruptions / Diversions - Where? Who? - meet in people / place - stand up " Be ruthless with the time but gracious with people"
• Apply conversation - ending techniques
  
• The telephone : 40% spend more than 2 hours on the phone everyday
• Plan calls in advance
• Delegate calls
• Watch out for interruptions.

TIME is .......

TIME

A measure of duration
It exists naturally
It exists in the mind / clock / watch / or just about anywhere...

He was 65 years old when he received his first social security check of $99. He was broke, and owned a small house and a beat up car. He made a decision that he has got to change. The only idea he had was a chicken recipe, which his friends liked. With that idea in mind, he took massive action. He left his home in Kentucky and traveled to many states in the US to sell his idea. He told the restaurant owners that he had a chicken recipe that people liked and he was giving it to them for free. What he wanted in return was for the restaurant owners to pay him a small percentage on the pieces of chicken sold. He got rejections after rejections, but did not give up. In fact, he got over 1000 rejections. He got 1009 no’s before he got his first yes. With that one success Colonel Harland Sanders changed the eating habits of the whole world with Kentucky Fried Chicken.

Age is no barrier to success, and so is capital. What is needed is an idea put into action, followed with proper planning and persistency. How many of us will keep knocking on doors when we have received 1000 rejections? I presume not many! This is why there are not many successes like Colonel Sanders.
