The Power To Choose
Our greater power is the power to choose.
We can decide where we are, what we do and what we think.

No one can take the power to choose away from us.
It is ours alone. We can do what we want to do.

We can be who we want to be...

Meetings
As a functional tool, a meeting is effective only to the extent that it is capable of achieving a set of pre-determined action-oriented objectives.

As a chairman, you must be clear what the objectives for each meeting are ; if you are not clear, cancel the meeting.

What the members do at the meeting, whether listening, thinking, arguing, debating, reviewing, discussing, dreaming, staring, sleeping, relaxing, name-calling, prophesizing or visualizing are considered as inputs to a meeting ; they are activities and are not objectives.

Priorities
The most managers, priorities are tasks that are urgent and that need to be done at once. This is the conventional definition of tasks as done by the mediocre manager.

To the profesional, priorities are tasks that are important though they are not necessarily urgent but having a precedence over all other tasks;
the importance of the tasks warrants that they are done immediately without delay otherwise they will eventually become urgent and the manager  will be thrown into a crisis.....

Effective planning enabling primary objectives and goals to be established and a strong will to stay away from procrastination will ensure  that the manager is able to keep urgent but not important tasks that are outside his control to a manageable few. Well, Can I Play With Madness.........

So Help Me God
Menurut gue ada dua hal yang menarik dalam setiap sumpah pengangkatan Presiden Amerika, yang pertama adalah, selalu menempatkan lengan kanan nya  di dada sebelah kiri tepat dibawah jantung, daerah ini yang menurut hampir seluruh literatur keagamaan kuno adalah pintu tempat dimana semua doa ditujukan dan di dengar sesuai dengan keterangan yang menyatakan bahwa kami lebih dekat daripada urat lehermu.

Kedua selalu ditutup dengan kata permohonan So Help Me God, ungkapan kepasrahan dan berserah serta bersandar untuk tataran tingkat tinggi setelah berniat dan berjanji untuk bekerja keras dan bekerja cerdas. Kenapa mereka lebih islami dan lebih mengerti tentang kunci-kunci hubungan vertikal? Sayang sekali saya tidak dalam kapasitas untuk menjawabnya, So Help Me God.

Sejarah Amerika dimulai dari era sejak Migration to a New Land hingga 1732, kemudian memasuki Colonial Life tahun 1650-1700, termasuk era konflik dengan bangsa Indian dan England pada sekitar 1637-1700. Tahun 1700-1775 adalah era Separating from Britain dimana dilanjutkan dengan the War for Independence 1775-1783 dan Declaration of Independence. Setelah itu berturut-turut 1781-1788 : Starting a New Nation, 1787-Today : Focus on Democracy, 1789-1800 : The Federalist Era, 1800-1830 : The Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe Years, 1824-1840 : The Age of Jackson, 1830-1850 : The Era of Reform1830-1850 : Expansion and Conflict, 1850-1861 : A Decade of Crisis, 1861-1865 : The Civil War, 1865-1876 : Reconstruction and Its Effects, 1876-1915 : The Rise of the Industrial Giant, 1914-1940 : World War I Era, Causes and Conseqeunces, 1933-1960 : World War II Era, Causes and Consequences, 1960-Today : Continuity and CHANGE...maaf kalo informasinya kurang lengkap So Help Me God.

Visualization
Visualization is the beginning of mastery. 
It is the creation of order, the mental searchlight which will organize thought into a clear image of the life you wish to live, the things you wish to do and have, and the person you wish to become.

Well...no comment deh....pikir aja sendiri bro...

Anger
When you become angry, you switch on your emotional equipment and shut off the full functioning of your intellectual faculty thereby losing your self-control and the better use of your judgement. You gradually lose your objectivity and eventually your subordinates' respect.
( Tuh boss jangan suka marah2 gak jelas gitu dong ahh!!! Cape deeeh )

Take charge of yourself. Remember that no one can make you angry if you do not allow it. Keep calm and exercise self-control.

If you are angry, say to other party, "I am angry and I am angry because.....". Refrain from saying," You have made me angry!" which may have the effect of confirming to the other party that he can make you angry and he will do so in future if he wants to. You are always in command of your own feelings and emotions. You take charge of your own life, and not let someone else take charge! ( Pastinya bro....)

Symptoms of an Unreasonable Boss
He sees the trees but fails to see the wood and likewise, he sees you not as a person but as a thing or machine.

A born perfectionist; believer and practioner or absolutism. (Padahal doski ga perfect2 amat hehe.)

He knows everything, but he understands nothing.

Fails to set and communicate performance goals and standards; uses his moods to grade your performance.    
( Geblek yah??? hehe )

Expects you to know everything and do everything without giving you any help (memangnya semua gratis boss!!? ), guidance or support.

The only consistent thing about an indecisive person is the constant change of his weather-like mind.  Hehe. 
( Weather-like Mind!!! Ketawa ga loe? hahaha...)

Quitting Your Job
Quit your job when you find yourself entangled all the time in handling and solving the wrong type of managerial problems that do not pave the way for true progress.

Quit your job when you find yourself working FOR or UNDER and not WITH your boss, especially when he is an unreasonable one!

Quit for the day when your energy is all sapped up.

Quit saying "quit"; if you want to quit, then quit. You may be wrong in quitting, but you are definitely right in being decisive.

On Becoming More Assertive : Five Ways To Cultivate An Assertive Mind
Remind yourself all the time...

That your own feelings are well within your own control; no one can make you angry without your consent. THEREFORE, feel good despite what others say!    
( Yaiyalah masa yaiyadong...! )

That listening to another person does not commit you to anything: you are not obliged to agree or disagree. THEREFORE, be a patient listener without interrupting the other person's speech! ( Or just walked away...)

That when you receive a "No" to a request, it is an answer only to the specific request you have made; it is not a rejection of you as a person. THEREFORE, continue to feel good and make the request again at another time!

That when a person takes the trouble to point out your blind's spot, he has the intention of wanting to see you improve. THEREFORE, accept criticisms with appreciation! 

That you have the rights to express how you feel or state what you want instead of the common tendency to say what you think only. THEREFORE, no therefore that i am going to telling you....IT'S MY RIGHTS, ISN'T IT? Hehe. I don't feel, I don't like and I don't want...!

The Law of Perception
Ada yang menarik dari The Law of Perception, it's state that the way in which you perceive something will determine how you experience it.

The way you perceive your career is how you will experience it.
The way you perceive your relationship is the kind of relationship you will experience.
The way you perceive wealth is how you will experience wealth.

It's also said just begin to do it.

Do more than exist, begin to live. A good one, not as a licker one's - or a parasite one's.
Do more than touch, begin to feel.
Do more than look, begin to observe.
Do more than hear, begin to listen.
Do more than listen, begin to understand.
Do more than talk, begin to say something.
Do more than disagree, begin to walk away...

Begin today, do not delay.
You must trust in your instincts and start. Fuck others.
Make your new belief so strong.
Limitations will turn into unlimited potential.

Do you pray to change God's mind, or to change your attitude toward God?

Yippy, Yippy, Yip!
The joyful excitement that pervades the organization characterizes the positive attitude and youthful zest that people bring with them to work. 

When employees are psychologically healthy they can grow in their jobs.

Encouraging your staff to cultivate a sense of humor can go a long way to improve the quality of work life (QWL).

Arguing With THe Boss
There are two levels at which you argue with your boss. At the first level, the cognitive or intelectual level, you focus on information - be it a fact, a concept, a principle or a procedure. You argue to improve your boss's or your own understanding, retention or application of the material.

At the second level, the emotional level, you focus on expressing your feelings as an emotional reaction or expression of your dislike, which is largely affected by your attitude toward your boss.

If your boss is annoyed when you argue with him at the intellectual level, he is very likely to be either immature or unreasonableYou should waste no time to change your boss...

"NO" - The Most Effective Word in Time Management
1. Learn how to say "NO!" without feeling guilty.

2. If you genuinely do not feel inclined to accept an invitation or comply to request, be yourself and express your feeling, but do it tactfully especially when you are interacting with your boss and you are affraid that you might hurt his feeling.
 
3. Project your image as one with a strong personality by standing up to your rights. If you a right to turn down a request then you should exercise that right. When you fail to exercise your right, you are hurting yourself or at least allowing or encouraging others to hurt you.

4. If you have a legitimate, logical or honest reason for wanting to say "NO", no reasonable boss will take your "NO" as rejection of his personality or authority. Should he feel offended, you will then know that you are working for or under an unreasonable boss, in which case, the more you need to "change" your boss....

Alias Cari Boss Baru atau Menjadikan Diri Anda Seorang Boss HeHe. Kecuali Jika Anda Mempunyai Gen Sebagai Pembantu, Penjilat, Atau Parasit Yang Numpang Hidup dan Numpang Beken...Untung Saja Saya Tidak. Pls Read Also An Organization YES-MAN!

An Organization Yes-Man: To Be or Not To Be

You are not always obliged to say "yes" to your boss if it is contrary to your will. You run the risk of double crossing yourself when you say something you do really mean it. By remaining silent, your conscience will remain unscathed and you will feel much, MUCH BETTER.

Accepting with cheerfulness instructions from your boss does not have to depend on your agreeing to what your boss has instructed. If you can agree with that your boss says, so much the better.

At all times, be a professional. Listen, reflect and discuss with your boss. Avoid responding with an immediate "yes" to fake your disagreement for the sake of turning yourself into an incurable organization "yes-man"! Remove your "mask" and be yourself. Ask sensible questions, otherwise be a good listener.

It is said that amount of creativity in the organization is inversely proportional to the number of "yes-man" the organization has.

Apakah Anda Termasuk Seorang Yes-Man Dan Penjilat Pantat? Maaf Saya Bukan!!!

Psychodinamic "Neurotic" Organizations.
Neurotic Adaptations Typology:

1. The paranoid style, based on pervasive suspicion and mistrust of other, lead to a preoccupation with intelligence and control activities, centralized power, a reactive mode of developing strategy, high vigilance both externally and internally, an emphasis on diversification, and an internal climate of cynicism, conservatism, and caution.

2. The compulsive style, based on fear of being at the mercy of unecpected events and not in control of things that may affect the organization, leads to a compulsive preoccupation with detail, perfectionism, a heavy emphasis on ritualized and formalized control and procedure, formal policies, tight hierarchies, carefully thought-out and rigidly implemented strategies, a fixation on established  activities ( to the detriment of innovation ), and a climate of dominance and submission.

3. The dramatic style, based on an inordinate need to gain attention and to impress the people who count moss, lead to narcissistic preoccupation, excessive expression of emotion, a craving for activity and excitement, exploitation of other, superficial and often bold decisions, high risk taking, unclear organizational structures or processes that unleash constant change programs, and a climate of ambiguity.

4. The depressive style, based on a feeling of hopelessness and lack-of self confidence, leads to a fatalistic passivity, extreme conservatism and a tendency to adapt bureaucratically to those parts of the enviroment that are most stable and least threatening. There is generally a leadership vacuum and a feeling of guilt and self-blame for whatever misfortunes the organization may experience.

5. The schizoid style, based on feeling that the world does not offer much in the way of satisfaction and that most interactions will eventually not work out, leads to detached aloofness and, in essence, a leadership vacuum. The leader neither leads nor delegates, but detached himself, feel estranged from the organization, and lets the political struggles that result run their course. No concerted product market srategy can develop, and the firm muddles through in fit and starts.
::igoy::

- Neurotic     : they continually show a lot of unreasonable anxiety about something.
- Paranoid     : suspicious, distrustful, and affraid of other people.
- Compulsive : who cannot stop doing something.
- Dramatic     : sudden and noticable, very exciting, trying to surprise and impress people.
- Depressive  : sad, dissapointed, a mental state of feels unhappy and has no energy or enthusiasm.
- Schizoid       : a serious mental illness prob? hehe.
