Orang ada blog. Dia pun nak ada blog.
Orang kemaskini blog. Dia buat berhabuk je blog.
Itulah aku.
Orang kata, nak menulis perlukan ilham.
Dari mana nak datang ilham yer?
Tapi, pernah tak perasan yang orang banyak menulis di social media seperti Facebook, Twitter (ini tak leh buat karangan, thread je boleh panjang-panjang), LinkedIn? WeChat?
Orang banyak tulis dekat Facebook jer, tapi bila nak cari balik macam dah tak jumpa.

10 Ramadan Terakhir
Menjelang 10 Ramadan terakhir 2018.
Tiada baju baru.
Tiada duit raya.
Tiada balik kampung.
Yang ada cuma emak yang bedridden untuk dijaga.
Bersyukurlah masih ada emak.

A Powerful Life Principle from Abraham Lincoln
As you might know, I love quotes.
They are concise but contain a lot of wisdom. Recently I found a great quote
by Abraham Lincoln that contains a powerful life principle. Here is the quote:
I
will prepare and someday my chance will come.
In my opinion, this quote is
interesting. Why? Because you prepare first and then
your chance will come. It might sound counter intuitive, but I believe that
this is an important principle for living a successful life.
Here are some lessons I learned from
the quote:
1.
Always prepare yourself for the future.
You never know what will happen.
That’s why it’s important that you always prepare yourself for the future.
Keep building your knowledge. Keep building your network. Don’t just stay
where you are, assuming that everything will stay the same. Instead, prepare
yourself as if something will happen. Why? Because something will
happen.
If you get complacent, the future
might catch you off guard. That’s something you don’t want to happen to you.
2.
Build it before you need it.
Many people only start building
something when they need it, but by then it’s too late. You need to start
building it long before you need it. This applies to every area of your life:
personal finance, skills, relationships, spirituality, etc.
3.
Have faith that your chance will come.
It may be difficult to make
preparation because you might not know what it is for. For this, you need to
have faith
that your chance will come. You might not know how it looks like, but believe
that something
will come.
Steve Jobs put it
well: “You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them
looking backward. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in
your future.”
4.
Believe that the best is still ahead of you.
You won’t prepare yourself if you
don’t think that there is more to life than what you now have. That’s why you
need to believe that the best is still ahead of you.
That’s the attitude that Ray Kroc –
the man who built MacDonald’s – had. He was in his 50s and already had a good
business selling milkshake machine, but he believed that the best was still
ahead of him. That belief made him open his eyes to new opportunities.
5.
Recognize your chance when it comes.
The opportunity came to him when he
heard good things about a hamburger restaurant far away. Intrigued, he
decided to fly there to check it out himself. He was so impressed by what he
saw that he decided to negotiate expanding the restaurant. Long story short,
it eventually becomes the McDonald’s that we know today.
He could have missed his chance if
he was too busy running his existing business. If that happened, we wouldn’t
have the McDonald’s as we know it today. Fortunately, he recognized the
opportunity when it came.
6.
Make the most of the opportunity.
After you recognize the opportunity,
make sure that you make the most of it. Again, that’s what Ray Kroc did. He
jumped into it with both feet. He innovated, expanded, and invested. Thanks
to his preparation, he had the fund, the connections, and the knowledge to
make it happen. His preparation enabled him to make the most of the
opportunity.
***
As you can see, the Lincoln’s quote
above is simple but contains a powerful life principle. Applying it can take
your life to the next level.
It all starts with your preparation,
though. Have you been preparing yourself for a future opportunity?

Kurang 2 minggu menjelang Ramadan
Pejam celik pejam celik dah nak masuk Ramadan 1437M. Sekejap sahaja rasa. Bagaimana dengan persedian mental aku ni? Dah ready ker? Apa beza Ramadan tahun ini dan tahun-tahun sebelum ini? Kita jawab slow-slow yer.
Alhamdulillah, Ramadan tahun ini kali pertama Ramadan berkeluarga. Yer lah, baru kahwin untuk tempoh kurang 6 bulan. Memang baru la kan. Risau tu semestinya lah kan. Dua perut nak kena jaga. Eh.. 2 perut lebih sket.
Bila menjelang Ramadan kita akan cerita pasal makan kan? Menu apa pulak aku nak makan Ramadan kali ini. Kalau bujang, ikut sedap mulut jer. Asal telan. Tapi wife aku jenis tak sahur. Takper. Asalkan dia teman aku sahur. Dah ler. Ilmu perkahwinan kan bertolak ansur.
PaRam kembali. Bukan Param artis pendek bangsa India tu la.. PaRam atau nama panjangnya Pasar Ramadan akan kembali menjadi tumpuan. Orang kata kalau jual karipap takda inti pun habis. Nafsu membeli lah katakan. Nafsu makan apatah lagi.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. Ramadan juga ruang menguji poket anda.. Duit raya ke budak-budak lagi. Walau pun sedekah, still kena bajet juga kan.. Duit belanja lagi. Duit nak pakai masa kerja lagi. Bukan merungut tapi risau. Aku tetap bersyukur dengan apa yang Allah S.W.T bagi sebab yakin pasti ada sebab.
Lately ni memang poket kering memanjang. Tak perlu salahkan orang lain. Just salahkan diri sendiri kerana tidak pandai mengurus. Itu sahaja.
ps: Lagu Ramadan ni memang dah jadi feveret aku sejak dulu lagi. Haha. Suka hati aku la kan.. hehe.

12 Effective Time Management Tips from Students
Posted: 14 Apr 2016 10:00 PM PDT
Note: This post is written by Adam Mann
College years are something that
many people remember with a smile of happiness all their lives. Well, they
mostly remember partying, meeting life-long friends and romantic
adventures. In between those fun things, students have to squeeze the
actual studying. Many of them do it so skillfully, that their professors
wouldn’t even guess that they partied all night.
How do students do it? How do they
manage to complete a huge number of assignments and still find the time to
have fun? Time management! Students learn to use their time right.
Here are 12 effective time
management tips that can be used outside of college too.
1. Exchange favors.
Let’s say, your friend is sick and
misses a very important class. You can help him by telling something you’ve
learned there and borrowing him your notes. Next time you won’t have time to
read a book you need to read and this very friend can retell it to you
highlighting the key points.
The point is to help people around
and some day they will help you not to fail your deadline.
2. Less theory, more practice.
Reading is great if you have time.
If time is limited, it is better to try and do something intuitively. At the
end, it is better to try and regret than not to try and regret your whole
life. Students often complete assignments without wasting much time on
reading how these assignments should be done. Sometimes it works, sometimes
it doesn’t, but it is still worth trying.
3. Use technologies.
Many modern students can back up the
fact that technologies make studying easier and faster. You don’t always have
to waste time to go to a library when you can find everything online. You can
save time on calculating things and solving different problems as there are
now many apps for that. Using technologies for work is also a must if you
want to improve your productivity.
4. Give yourself a treat.
All people need some incentives to
work hard. Students get grades. When you work, you, of course, have financial
incentives, but it is sometimes not enough to be productive the whole day.
You can give yourself some small
treats for finishing small tasks. For example, if you have a task for an
hour, promise yourself to have coffee and biscuits if you manage to do that
in time. It is a nice motivation to be productive.
5. Learn something new all the
time.
Smart students complete their tasks
faster. They know that the more knowledge you possess, the easier it can be
for you to get out of different situations. You need to be hungry for
knowledge.
Many people who graduate from
college think that they’ve learnt all the secrets of the universe and have
nothing more to study. However, you still need to give some work to your
brain. Read books, learn new skills and languages. It’ll all make you smarter
and more productive.
6. Have fun!
Working non-stop is always a bad
idea. Human bodies and minds need to have rest to be productive. If you
regularly have fun and rest, you should be energetic and productive. Thus,
you will do your work faster and save a lot of time.
7. Have a schedule.
As you know, students have a strict
schedule for their classes. It helps them organize their day and be ready for
each class. Having a schedule for work and life is also a good thing. If your
day is planned by hours, it is easier to get every task done fast and
effectively.
8. Balance your tasks.
Students most often have different
kinds of classes during a day. It helps them balance different subjects,
change the way of thinking and simply not to get bored with sticking to one
thing for too long. It is also useful to balance tasks at work. Thus, you
will do them faster because your brain won’t get burdened by one-type tasks.
9. Exercise.
Many students get involved in some
sport sections. Physical exercises help your blood run faster and thus, your
brain works better. You don’t have to join a gym or something, but some
simple exercises and stretching can help you a lot to be more productive.
10. Make the right decisions.
Time management is the ability to
make the right decisions in the right time. Making a decision is a process
and not a result. Good decisions can lead to bad results. A good decision
only increases the possibility of good results, but never gives a guarantee.
Japanese businessman Konosuke
Matsushita once said that the best moment for making a decision is now. To achieve desired
results, you need to remember three factors: the right time, the right place and the right person.
11. Learn to focus.
Students, especially those who live
with roommates, are usually the masters of focusing. They often find the way
to focus on their homework while their roommate is having a party with lots
of people. It is very important to be able to concentrate on your work even
if there are distractions around.
12. Get away from distractions.
This point is sort of a continuation
of the previous one. If you have too many distractions around to focus, you
can either block these distractions or get away from them.
If the distractions don’t depend on
you (loud conversations in the room, etc.), you can go to a quiet place to
work if there is a chance. Many offices today have quiet rooms and different
spots for work; students usually go to libraries. If the distractions come
from you (checking email or social networks), you can use different programs
to block them.
***
All in all, college time is a very
special period when you learn a lot of things including time management
techniques. If you take them seriously, you can use them in your future and
make your work and life more productive and organized.
