It is being said that sometime
1. In order move forward you have to pause or go backward.
2. In order to know what is right, you have to know what is wrong first.
These two sentence is so powerful is you grasp it's true meaning.
Give it a thot and reflect on you present and past experience. You might learn something meaningful!

Bitter Sweet
I recently had engaged into some sort of new venture. When I started, I gather as much info as I could. When doing it, I was so hopeful and exicited at the possible outcome. A 20 million deal.
Then to spoil my excitement, I found out that I probably wont be getting it and luckly, I found out the reason why.
It made me sad, but the I figure that it wont be such a lost since my cost is quite minimal and I just started to learn how to do it in 2 month time. But it was bitter since I misssed the opportunity.
It is sweet though since the lessons are...
1)I have embarked into something new with potential rather than sitting on it...
2)I know how to do it better next time around and it is next week!
3) I learn patience, new knowledge
4) that everything has to go through some sort of learning processes and it take some time... the only thing that you can do is cut short the time if you learn faster... but! you cannot cut short the process!

The limit and limitless
Human has their own limit. Human also has different potentials. Human also looks at a situation in different perspectives.
The limit of human potential is not fixed. The potential depends on human credit and ability thus credibility. Human credibility is set by the perspective that human pictures himself. Higher perspective does not mean that the potential limit higher.
The intrinsic value of potential depends on human capabilities ie knowledge, determination and willingness to learn and to adapt.
But the higher the perspective of a human, the higher the potential. Only if he strive to live up to it. Without the determination to life up to own high perspective we can say that the human is day dreaming and full of bull #@$%.
But the fact remains is, the limit of human petential is limitless. period.

Seduced by success
We are human, we have many weaknesses, we have some common weaknesses.
One of the weaknesses is being seduced by success. The probability of human being easily seduced by success is the determine by the easiness of human getting the success and the rate that they acquire it.
Most of the time, the easier and the faster human acquire success, the easier they are to be seduced by success.
Success can induce arrogance and reduce the acceptance of learning. This in turn will result in downturn spiral, destroying the success and its sustainability.
In the edge of information, should you land on success, you have to work on it and learn how to sustain in. Should you fall seduced by success, the chance of you being able to turn it around is very slim. Unless you have a brave and strong heart and mind.

Dicipline - the understanding
I am delighted to have found a very good idea. Well, actually i found better understanding of the idea. Happy, because I get the idea of what to do and why i need to do it. So I will share with you.
All this while the idea about dicipline got me confused and maybe i got the wrong understanding of the subject. Well now , I think that dicipline are about people conforming to certain ruling or getting people in line.That is about the simplest defination that I can come up with. It is suppose to be simple anyway.
Dicipline is actualy creating a boundry where people should act and perform. Obviously, when there are no dicipline and rules there shall be chaos.
The ideas that i am getting at is that whenever we have rules and ruling, we shall observe that some of the people that lives within the boundy are offline or astray. When this happened, normally we will tend introduce more ruling or we tighthen the existing ruling.
Introduction of new rules and tighting up the existing one is normally to cater for undicipline people. Hopeful that these undicipline people will get back inline. But actually most of time you end up introducing more and more rules. It bad because too many rules would normally be too hard to uphold and unsustainable. But the worst part is too many rules will suffocate and choke the rest of the great dicipline people who can conform to basic and simple rules.
So to cut this writing short, what you really need to do is to get rid of these undicipline people and get new people. Dicipline people with dicipline mind and dicipline action.
You can introduce new rules when necessary but only after you get rid of the undicipline people. Introduction of too many rules can be boring to dicipline people and can even drive them away!.

Clueless
I meet with a lot of people from student, fresh graduates, seasoned businessman, working people and scrambling businessman wannabe.
Obviuosly, in the edge of Information technology, ideas are abundance and people are more exposed to ideas.
As I miggle around, I observed that people have many good ideas. Idea of improvements and even good business ideas. Sometime in my opinion, a lot of those ideas are viable.
When I found ideas viable, I spend a little more time to evaluate. I began asking more questions on the idea. After some time a pattern emerged.
The Idea is
A lot of people can come up with idea and sometime too many ideas!. I found out that they waste a lot of time with the ideas and fine tuning the ideas. End of the day, nothing solid materialised.
For one, the fear to bring the idea to life. Sometime,they do not even know how to bring it to life.
By fear and lack of knowledge plus unknown risk assesment, the idea never become reality. So they just talks about it endlessly and wasting their time.
Most of the time, people who later come across the idea. People with good management skills. Implement the idea and make a business out of it. Some time they make a fortune out of it!.
Many people have good ideas. Many people can come up with great ideas. But not many are able to translate the idea in reality.

Love affairs
Prelude
Living is love affairs. Life means nothing without love. Love could be the purpose of life. Hmmmm...love is actually one of the purposes of life. Ultimately.. we got to have love for God. We have to seek and understand the meaning of love to God. Well, i am not trying to be religious here, all I am trying to say is that there are a lot of kind of love and it is not limited.
I want to be taking about working or business as a love affairs.Since maybe most of us understand the normal love - love to family, love to your love one.. ie love form one person to another. So, I'd like to highlight love affairs in business and working as a change.
I am saying that working and business is a love affairs. Maybe we are not thinking in that terms. But we should be thinking in that terms to know what to do and how to react. Maybe we should be thinking in that terms to be succesful and to be happy at what we are doing.
The selection
The first stage is the selection stage. Like choosing patner when falling in love, this kind of love has to be mutual as well.
If we are the employee, we are to choose the organisation, the environment and the people, where we are to work. The situation is vice versa.If we are the employer, we are to chose the people according to our requirements. We have to look into the values that the person possessed. Each organisation have their own values which are unique to them and the person to be employed is to share that values. Else it will be chaos and imbanlance.
It is a matching process where the core values of the employee and employer has to be identical and tally. When we in love we look for chemistry. So there shall be chemistry in term of working bonding. The fact is that sometime even the best employee and the best employer could not be the ideal match. The relasionship simply wont work. The reason is that they may share different values and expect diffrent outcome out of the working relationship.
I'd like to stress that as in human love, it is very rare that we chose the right partner at the first time. Our partner selection can be spot on if we are lucky enough. But it is definately rare. We make mistakes in choosing but along the process our gut feeling will be sharper. Of course, we have to follow our gut feeling and just choose and see where it will take us. We have to be careful in choosing just to save possible time wasted. But on top of that, it is a gamble and we must try and we must make the selection decision.
The fact remain when choosing an employeer and employee. You have to follow your gut feeling and make the selection decision.
In between.
When we are done with selection decision, the relationship starts. The process of actual facts finding of things that we share in common and our differences begins. We will begin to discover who we are and who our partner is.
When in a relationship and working bonding we have to have a clear mind and determination to make it work. To make it work we have to put it our best efforts.
So we should have a clear mind while in the relationship to discover our strength and weaknesses. Along the way, we have to enhance our strength and minimise our weaknesses. We have to exploit the strength that we have in common and work out our differences.
As the relationship goes further it gets more complex. Peolple will discover more of themself especially rather then discover more of their partner. It gets more complex as our environment changes, our need changes and mostly it gets complicated going forward because we evolve and change along the way. So we will encounter new needs and new differences that we need to fulfil and work out.
That is why we should have clear mind all the time in relationship. Both have to realised that we and our partner changes all the time. Changes rate between the partner is different and we should be aware of that. The different rate of changes is influence by the differnt rate individual exposure to different environment.
Same goes to our business and working bonding. As business environment changes all the time, the organisation has to change to adapt. As soon as the organisation changes, the employee has to make changes as well and vice versa. Everybody has to adapt to changes to make it work and to ensure their relevence in the relationship.
That is why when in relationship, effort has to be put in all the time to accomodate chances and to stay relevence. If not the relationship will start to accumulate unsolved differences and always the effort put in has to be mutual to make it last.
When only one party put in effort to accomodate changes and evolve into something better, we have to communicate to our partner of the requirement to change and work out the new differences. When both adapt to changes and work out the new differences the relationship will become stronger. However if one party refuse to adapt to changes we have to put in effort to make them change. Unfortunately, if it does work out and the other partner refuse to tag along, then harsh decision has to be made on the relationship. Delaying on the decision will only mean suffering. Delaying mean it is the start downfall of the relationship or the love affair or the organisation.
