ASAL USUL JALAN MAAROF, BANGSAR

Maarof dibunuh untuk gagalkan penubuhan Bank Melayu.

Orang ramai terutama peminat filem Melayu cukup mengenali seniman veteran, Datuk Mustapha Maarof yang terbabit dalam lebih 50 filem sejak sebelum merdeka dan beratus drama di Singapura dan Malaysia.

Tetapi masyarakat mungkin tidak mengenali siapa bapanya. Allahyarham Maarof Zakaria. Bagi penduduk Kuala Lumpur terutama di Bangsar dan Lembah Pantai, mereka cukup sinonim dengan nama Jalan Maarof bermula di Dataran Maybank menuju ke pusat beli belah Bangsar.

Siapakah Maarof sebenarnya hinggakan namanya cukup gah untuk diabadikan di antara laluan utama yang menjadi laluan beribu pengguna setiap hari. Allahyarham sebenarnya ada kisah tersendiri yang jarang diperkatakan.

Maarof anak kelahiran Sri Menanti, Negeri Sembilan adalah antara kelompok Melayu elit yang mendapat pendidikan Inggeris yang hisup sezaman dengan tokoh pemikir Melayu, Zainal ABidin Ahmad yang digelar Pendeta Zaaba (16 September 1895 - 23 Oktober 1973).

Bekas peguam dan pegawai daerah di Perak itu juga seangkatan dengan nasionalis negara yang juga penulis, Ishak Haji Muhammad atau Pak Sako (14 November 1909 - 7 November 1991).

Bezanya, ketika nasionalis negara dan pemimpin politik sibuk berjuang untuk kemerdekaan, Maarof memilih haluan berbeza dengna mengasaskan bank pertama khas untuk orang Melayu iaitu Bank Kebangsaan Melayu, bertempat di Klang Street di ibu negara.

Niatnya cukup jelas, jika orang Melayu mahu maju dalam politik dan membangun, mereka mesti mesti mempunyai sistem ekonomi yang kuat. satu daripadanya ia melalui sistem perbankan yang sistematik. 

Namunm sayangnya niat murni tokoh itu disalah tafsir pihak tertentu yang tidak mahu melihat tahap kesedaran Melayu terusmeningkat dan dilihat menjadi saingan kepada dua bank di Tanah Melayu pada ketika itu, The Chartered Bank milik British dan bank milik China iaitu Overseas Chinese Banking Corporation.

Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamed menyifatkan kematian pengasas Malay National, Maarof Zakaria sebagai tragik dan sangat menyedihkan kerana ia berlaku ketika peguan itu berusaha membantu oran Melayu keluar daripada kepompong kemiskinan menerusi penubuhan bank.

Bekas Perdana Menteri berkata, jasa Maarof sangat besar dan beliau orang Melayu yang berani menubuhkan bank untuk membantu kaumnya ketika itu.

Ketika itu orang Melayu jauh ketinggalan dari segi ekonomi dan hidup dalam kemiskinan. Bank yang ada ketika itu tidak mahu memberi bantuan atau pinjaman modal kepada orang Melayu.

Justeru ada suara yang meminta dan mendesak supaya sesuatu dilakukan untuk membantu orang Melayu.

Namun, sayangnya niat murni tokoh itu disalah tafsir pihak tertentu yang tidak mahu melihat tahap kesedaran Melayu terus meningkat dan dilihat menjadi saingan kepada dua bank di Tanah Melayu pada ketika itu. The Cartered Bank milik British dan bank milik Cina iaitu Overseas Chinese Banking Corporation.

Pada bulan Julai 1947, sebuah Bank Kebangsaan Melayu telah diasaskan oleh seorang peguam Melayu bernama Encik Maarof Zakaria,

Bank tersebut hanya mempunyai 2 juta saham yang hanya terbuka kepada orang-orang Melayu. Pelanggannya juga terhad kepada orang-orang Melayu sahaja.

Pada waktu itu hanya ada dua buah bank; iaitu bank milik British bernama The Chartered Bank dan bank milik China bernama Overseas Chinese Banking Corporation.

Di kedua-dua bank ini Melayu tidak dibenar meminjam wang. Melayu hanya boleh pinjam wang dari ceti-ceti haram dengan bayaran bunga yang cukup tingi. Encik Maarof menjawab cabaran ini dengan menubuhkan bank untuk Melayu sahaja.

Selepas 6 bulan beroperasi dengan jayanya, Encik Maarof Zakaria telah didapati terbunuh di Lake Garden. Maarof dikatakan hilang selama 2 hari selepas keluar dari rumah menuju ke Kampung Baru. Beliau ditemui di dalam hutan tergantung. 

Jam rolex di tangannya dan wang dalam sakunya telah tidak diambil oleh pembunuh itu. Ini bererti pembunuh hanya ingin membunuh pengasas bank Melayu yan didirikan oleh Encik Maarof itu.

Encik Maarof Zakaria telah mendirikan Bank Kebangsaan Melayu dengan bermodalkan 27 ekar tanah serta tiupan roh semangat perjuanan bangsa Melayu di bidang ekonomi.

Yang membunuh Encik Maarof nampaknya bertujuan membunuh semangat perjuangan Melayu di bidang ekonomi. Berlandaskan tiupan roh semangat perjuangan Melayu di bidang ekonomi inilah maka dalam Kongres Ekonomi Bumiputera Pertama dalam tahun 1965 cadangan menubuhkan Bank Bumiputera telah diketengahkan.

MENGAPA PENGASAS FACEBOOK PAKAI BAJU YANG SAMA SETIAP HARI

Bagi anda yang masih belum perasan, Mark Zuckerberg selalunya akan memakai baju T-shirt berwarna kelabu apabila muncul di majlis-majlis awam. 

Seorang penonton telah bertanya di dalam sebuah sesi Soal-Jawab bersama Mark Zuckerberg, soalan penonton tersebut berbunyi.. “Mengapakah  anda memakai baju T-shirt yang sama setiap hari?”

Soalan tersebut kedengaran agak lucu dan penonton menjangkakan Mark Zuckerberg akan menjawabnya dengan cara yang lebih santai. Tetapi, sebaliknya, Mark Zuckerberg telah menjawab soalan tersebut dengan jawapan yang penuh serius.

“Saya mahu hidup saya benar-benar jelas, oleh itu, saya perlu meminimakan proses membuat keputusan tentang segala-galanya dalam hidup saya..  kecuali, tentang bagaimana memberikan yang terbaik kepada komuniti (pengguna facebook)”

Tambah beliau lagi, walaupun keputusan tersebut kecil seperti apa baju yang perlu dipakai? apa sarapan yang perlu dimakan? ia sebenarnya boleh menjadi perkara yang meletihkan dan membuang tenaga, jadi, beliau tidak mahu membuang masa beliau kepada perkara-perkara yang bodoh serta remeh-temeh seperti itu.

Beliau juga mengatakan, ramai lagi orang-orang yang berjaya mempunyai sikap yang sama apabila memilih pakaian mereka, seperti Steve Jobs dan juga Barrack Obama. Malahan Steve Job juga pernah menyatakan, beliau mahu semua pekerja Apple memakai baju vest yang sama.

Di akhir jawapan, Mark Zuckerberg mengatakan beliau sebenarnya ada banyak baju T-shirt berwarna kelabu yang sama.

7 STEPS TO REALIZING YOUR AMBITION

There are 7 tips that might help other business owners better understand how to reach their goals.

1. Don't bite off more than you can chew

While it's important to dream big, it's imperative to keep resources in mind. Set "stretch goals" for yourself, but don't make them so high that the goals are unreachable. Have a long-term objective with a series of milestones from where you are now to where you want to be in 3-5 years. Remember to reward yourself for hitting each milestone, too.

2. Collaborate

Share your objectives with the people working for you (e.g. "We will open a second restaurant in the summer of 2014) and remember this rule : "Many hands make light work." When applicable, let your customers know about your dreams as well. Most customers would like to know that their purchases are supporting entrepreneurial dreams. Also consider collaborating with your supply chain and partners to achieve your goals.

3. Get the right support

You are probably an expert in one or more segments of your business. These segments are probably the reason you started your company. The other segments, the areas you hate to work in, may require outside assistance. Don't be to proud or frugal to ask for help. If you are streamlining your business processes, determine what expert assistance is needed and make the call. 

4. Keep it simple

Make your ambition as clear as possible. Whether it's opening another restaurant, hiring more employees, or reaching double-digit sales growth by the end of 2014, make sure the goal is simply stated. Delete unnecessary processes and simplify complex ones. The less there is to slow you down and stand in your way, the better.

5. Monitor your progress

Record and review your progress regularly. This exercise will enable you to identify weaknesses more easily and improve them faster. Ambition is about continuous improvement, and not one-off changes or achievements.

6. Believe in yourself

You can achieve your ambition if you believe in it. You must also possess greater determination than all of your competitors, both locally and globally. There will inevitably be surprises that try to halt your progress; don't let them. Whatever you do, commit all of your resources to do it better than anyone else.

7. Be keen

This last tip is more of an example. It demonstrates how collaboration, continuous improvement, and determination can help make you realize your ambition and become a leaner, healthier, fitter business.

CHANGE A SMALL THING TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE

Once upon a time, there was an unfortunate poor man. His home was also very poor - a small and empty house, where mice made their nests and spiders made their webs.

People tried to avoid coming into his house - why should they stick noses into those poor ruins? And the poor man thought that poverty is the reason of his misfortunes - his eternal destiny.

So one day, the poor man met a wizard and complained to him about his poverty and miserable life. The wizard felt sorry for the poor man and gave him an unprecedented vase and said : this is a magical vase that will save you from poverty.

The poor man took the vase and wanted to sell it at first and then spend the money on alcohol, as usual, besides, why would he need such a beautiful thing? But then he started admiring the vase and couldn't take it to the market. He brought the vase home, put it on the table and started admiring it.

It's not right for such a beautiful thing to be empty, the poor man thought. So he picked some wild flowers and put them into the vase. It became even more beautiful.

Not good, the poor man thought again, that such a beautiful thing stands next to a spider web.

So the poor man started cleaning his house from spider webs, sweeping out cockroaches and mice, cleaning the dust, washing the floor and the walls, whitening the ceiling.

And it became clear that his house was not poor, but rather warm and cosy. The poor man was not a poor man anymore but a hard working host, who had no time to think about misfortune.

SUCCESS PRINCIPLES #7 - UNLEASH THE POWER OF GOAL-SETTING

Once you know your life purpose, determine your vision, and clarify what your true needs and desires are, you have to convert them into specific, measurable goals and objectives and then act on them with the certainty that you will achieve them.

Experts on the science of success know the brain is a goal-seeking organism. Whatever goal you give to your subconscious mind, it will work night and day to achieve.

If you want to be happy, set a goal that commands your thoughts,

liberates your energy, and inspires your hopes.

How Much, By When?

Be as specific as possible with all aspects of your goals - include the make, model, color, year, and features..the size, weight, shape and form and any other details. Remember, vagure goals produce vague results.

A Goal Versus A Good Idea

When there are no criteria for measurement, it is simply something you want, a wish, a preference, a good idea. To engage your subconscious mind, a goal or objective has to be measurable. Here are a few examples to give you more clarity :

I want to lose weight >>> I will weigh 185 pounds by 5pm, January 1, 2015.

I need to treat my employees better >>> I will acknowledge a minimum of six employees for their contribution to the department by 5pm this Friday.

Write It Out In Detail

One of the best ways to get clarity and specificity on your goals is to write them out in detail, as if you were writing specifications for a work order. Think of it as a request to God or to the universal mind. Include every possible detail.

You Need Goals That Stretch You

When you create your goals, be sure to write down some big ones that will stretch you. It pays to have goals that will require you to grow to achive them. It's a good thing to have some goals that make you a little uncomfortable. Why? Because the ultimate goal, in addition to achieving your material goals, is to become a master at life. And to do this, you will need to learn new skills, expand your vision of what's possible, build new relationships, and learn to overcome your fears, considerations, and roadblocks.

Create A Breakthrough Goal

In addition to turning every aspect o your vision into a measurable goal, and all the quarterly and weekly and daily goals that you routinely set, a breakthrough goal is also important that would represent a quantum leap for you and your career. They include things such as losing 60 pounds, writing a book, publishing an article, creating a killer website, getting your master's or doctoral degree etc.

Reread Your Goals Three Times A Day

Once you've written down all your goals, both large and small, the next step on your journey to success is to activate the creative powers of your subconscious mind by reviewing your list two or three times every day.

Take time to read your list if goals. Read the list (out loud with passion and enthusiasm if you are in an appropriate place) one goal at a time. Close our eyes and picture each goal as if it were already accomplished. Take a few more seconds to feel what you would feel if you had already accomplished each goal.

By constantly repeating and visualising your goal as already achieved, you will be increasing this structural tension in your brain. This will increase your motivation, stimulate your creativity, and heighten your awareness of resources that can help you achieve your goal.

Create A Goals Book

Another powerful way to speed up the achievement of your goals is to create a Goals Book. Write the goal at the top of the page and then illustrate it with pictures, words, and phrases that you cut out of magazines that depict your goal as already achieved. As new goals and desires emerge, simply add them to your list and your Goals Book. Review the pages of your Goals Book every day.

One Goal Is Not Enough

If you are bored with life, if you don't get up every morning with a

burning desireto do things- you don't have enough goals.

Considerations, Fears, And Roadblocks

It's important to understand that as soon as you set a goal, three things are going to emerge that stop most people but not you. If you know that these three things are part of the process, then you can treat them as what they are just things to handle rather than letting them stop you.

As soon as you want to double your income next year, within moments considerations such as I'll have to work twice as hard or I won't have time for my family or my wife's going to kill me begin to emerge. 

But surfacing these considerations is a good thing. They are how you have been subconsciously stopping yourself all along. Now that you have brought them into conscious awareness, you can deal with them, confront them, and move past them.

Fears, on the other hand, are feelings. You may experience a fear of rejection, a fear of failure, or a fear of making a fool of yourself. You might be afraid that you will lose all the money you have already saved. These fears are not unusual. They are just part of the process.

Finally, you'll become aware of roadblocks. These are purely external circumstances - well beyond just thoughts and feelings in your head. A roadblock may be that nobody wants to join you on your project. A roadblock might be  that you don't have all the money you need to move forward. Perhaps you need other investors. Roadblocks might be that your state or national government has rules or laws that prohibit what you want to do. Maybe you need to petition the government to change the rules.

SUCCESS PRINCIPLES #6 - BECOME AN INVERSE PARANOID

Bismillah....

Long time did not write anything in this blog since I was quite busy....but alhamdulillah I can continue blogging. It's 3.27am...since I just wake up from a short sleep, I'm gonna share with you the next Success Principle - Become An Inverse Paranoid. I like the word, Paranoid! It's new to me!

But before that, those who left the previous entries, you may read the entries first by Click HERE and also HERE.

Every negative event contains within it the seed

of an equal or greater benefit.

When anything "bad" happens to you, always remember that everything that ever happens to you has within it the seed of something better. Look for the upside rather than the downside. Ask yourself, "Where's the greater benefit in this event?"

Look for the opportunity in everything. If you take the approach that "good" is not an accident, that everyone and everything that shows up in your life is there for a reason and that the universe is moving you toward your ultimate destiny for learning, growth, and achievement, you'll begin to see every event, no matter how difficult or challenging as achance for enrichment and advancement in your life.

Make a small sign or poster with the words : What's the opportunity that this is? and put it on your desk or above your computer, so you will be canstantly reminded to look for the good in every event.

You might also want to start each day by repeating the phrase, " I believe the world is plotting to do me good today. I can't wait to see what it is." And then look for the opportunities and the miracles.

SUCCESS PRINCIPLES #5 - BELIEVE IN YOURSELF

Bismillah...

May your life is always under rahmatillah...amiin.

In the last episode of the Success Principles, I did explain about the importance of believing everything is possible. Those who haven't read the article you can Click here >>> Success Principle #4.

You weren't an accident. You weren't mass produced. You aren't an assembly-line product. You were deliberately planned, specifically gifted, and lovingly positioned on the earth by the Master Craftsman.

If you are going to be successful in creating the life of your dreams, you have to believe that you are capable of making it happen. You have to believe you have the right stuff, that you are able to pull it off. You have to believe in yourself. Whether you call it self-esteem, self-confidence, or self-assurance, it is a deep-seated belief that you have what it takes - the abilities, inner resources, talents, and skills to create your desired results.

Believe In Yourself Is An Attitude

Believing in yourself is a choice. It is an attitude you develop over time. The latest brain research now indicates that with enough positive self-talk and positive visualization combined with the proper training, coaching, and practice, anyone can learn to do almost anything.

If you assume in favor of yourself and act as if it is possible, then you will do the things that are necessary to bring about the result. If you believe it is impossible, you will not do what is necessary, and you will not produce the result. It becoes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

You Have To Give Up "I Can't"

The phrase I can't is the mst powerful force of negation

in the human psyche

If you are going to be successful, you need to give up the phrase "I can't" and all of its cousins, such as "I wish I were able to." The words I can't actually disempower you. They actually make you weaker when you say them. 

Your brain is designed to solve any problem and reach any goal that you give it. The words you you think and say actually affect your body. We see that in toddlers. When you were a toddler, there was no stopping you. You thought you could climb up on anything. No barrier was too big for you to attempt to overcome. But little by little, your sense of invincibility is conditioned out of you by the emotional and physical abuse that you receive from your family, friends, and teachers, until you no longer believe you can.

Don't Assume You Need A College Degree

Here's another statistic showing that belief in yourself is more important than knowledge, training, or schooling.

• 20% of America's millionaires never set foot in college
• 21 of the 222 Americans listed as billionaires in 2003 never got their diplomas, 2 never even finished high school!
• Lary Ellison, CEO of Oracle, dropped out of the University of Illinois
• Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard and later founded Microsoft. Today he is considered one of the richest man in the world, with a net worth of over $46 billion

So although education and a commitment to lifelong learning are essential to success, a formal degree isn't a requirement. This is true even in high-tech world of the Internet. You can start from anywhere and create a successful life for yourself.

What Others Think About You Is None Of Your Business

You  have to believe in yourself when no one else does. 

That's what makes you a winner

If having others believing in you and your dream was a requirement for success, most of us woud never accomplish anything. You need to base your decisions about what you want to do on your goals and desires - not the goals, desires, opinions, and judgements of your parents, friends, spouse, children, and coworkers. Quit worrying what other people think about you and follow your heart.

Dr. Daniel Amen's 18/40/60 Rule

When you're 18, you worry about what everybody is thinking of you

When you're 40, you don't give a darn what anybody thinks of you

When you're 60, you realize nobody's been thinking about you at all!

Surprise, surprise!! Most of the time, nobody's thinking about you at all! They are too busy worrying about their own lives, and if they are thinking about you at all, they are wondering what you are thinking about them.

People think about themselves, not you. Think about it - all the time you are wasting worrying about what other people think about your ideas, your goals, your clothes, your hair, and your home could all be better spent on thinking about and doing the things that will achieve your goals.

CUNGKIL POTENSI DIRI ANDA

- Anda tidak akan rugi untuk mencuba tetapi anda teramat rugi jika tidak mahu mencuba -

Kegagalan kita hari ini bukan disebabkan sudah suratan takdir, tetapi kegagalan itu adalah kerana kita yang membuat pilihan untuk gagal. Cuba kita pilih untuk berjaya, pastinya kejayaan itu akan menjelma menjadi kenyataan.

"Aku malaslah...."

"Aku tak reti buat bisnes macam ni..."

"Aku dah cuba dulu, tapi tak jadi-jadi..."

Ramai manusia sering memberikan alasan  untuk menolak sesuatu peluang yang datang kepada mereka. Kebanyakan mereka rasa kehidupan mereka sudah selesa, tetapi sebenarnya mereka berada dalam kesusahan.

EGO membuatkan ramai manusia BUTA di dalam CELEK!

SUCCESS PRINCIPLES #4 - BELIEVE IT'S POSSIBLE

Bismillah...

Hi guys...how are you? I'm so happy to continue blogging after 2 days didn't write anything! Time is very limited for me but I try to spend a few time to post something new. 

So, let's continue our Success Principles #4. I hope you are following the principles from the beginning so that you can catch up every tip delivered by the author, Mr Jack Canfield. I bet, it's really practical!

The next principle of success would be Believe It's Possible.

Napolean Hill once said, "Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve." In fact, the mind is such a powerful instrument, it can deliver to you literally everything you want. But you have to believe that what you want is possible.

You Get What You Expect

Scientists used to believe that humans responded to information flowing into the brain from the outside world. But today, they're learning instead that we respond to what the brain, on the basis of previous experience, expects to happen next.

It's so important to hold positive expectations in your mind. When you replace your old negative expectations with more positive ones - when you begin to believe that what you want is possible, your brain will actually take over the job of accomplishing that possibility for you. Better than that, your brain will actually expect to achieve that outcome.

You can be anything you want to be, if only you believe with sufficient conviction and act in accordance with your faith; for whatever the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve.

Believe in yourself and go for it. Sooner or later, those who win are those who think they can.

Whatever your dream is, look at yourself in the mirror and declare that you are indeed going to achieve it, no matter what the price. It's amazing what happens to your self-confidence when you get eyeball to eyeball with yourself and you forcefully tell yourself what you're going to do.

SUCCESS PRINCIPLES #3 - DECIDE WHAT YOU WANT

Bismillah..

Hi everyone, it's a wonderful day. Now, it shows 1am in the morning and my eyes are still fresh...burning in the midnight oil to finish the third Success Principle - Decide What You Want!

In the previous entries, FIRST PRINCIPLE and SECOND PRINCIPLE, we have covered the importance of taking 100% responsibilty and being clear why you are here. And now the third principle is the continuity for both principles.

I recommend you to implement these principles everyday in your life. I will be writing this motivational entry day by day so that it is practical for you to understand it and apply it step by step.

Let's begin.....

The indispensable first step to getting the things you want out of life is this : 

decide what you want

Once you have decided why you are here, you have to decide what you want to do, be, and have. What do you want to accomplish? What do you want to experience? And what possessions do you want to acquire? In the journey from where you are to where you want to be, you have to decide where you want to be. In other words, what does success look like to you?

One of the main reasons why most people don't get what they want is they haven't defined their desires in clear and compelling detail.

Early Childhood Programming Often Gets In The Way Of What You Want

Inside of every one of us is that tiny seed of the "you" that you were meant to become. Unfortunately, you may have buried this seed in response to your parents, teachers, coaches, and other adult role models as you were growing up.

You started out as a baby knowing exactly what you wanted. You had no trouble expressing your needs and wants. You simply cried loudly with no inhibitions or holding back until you got what you wanted. As you got older, you crawled around and moved toward whatever held the most interest for you. You were clear about what you wanted, and you headed straight toward it with no fear.

So what happened?

Somewhere along the way, someone said...

Don't touch that!

Stay away from there.

Keep your hands off that.

As you older, you heard....

You can't have everything you want simply because you want it.

Money doesn't grow on trees.

Stop being selfish!

So on and so forth,,,,,

Don't Live Someone Else's Dreams

After many years of these kinds of sanctions, most of us eventually lost touch with the needs of our bodies and the desires of our hearts and somehow got stuck trying to figure out what other people wanted us to do. As a result, we now do a lot of things we don't want to do but that please a lot of other people :

• We go to medical school because that is what Dad wanted for us
• We get married to please our mother
• We get a "real job" instead of pursuing our dream career in the arts

In the name of being sensible, we end up becoming numb to our own desires. It's no wonder that when we ask many teenagers what they want to do or be, they honestly answer, "I don't know."

Not being clear about what you want and making other people's needs and desires more important than your own is simply a habit. You can break it by practicing the opposite habit.

Clarify Your Vision Of Your Of Your Ideal Life

The theme of this entry is how to get from where you are to where you want to be. To accomplish this, you have to know two things - where you are and where you want to get to. Your vision is a detailed description of where you want to get to. 

It describes in detail what your destination looks like and feels like. To create a balanced and successful life, your vision needs to include the following 7 areas : work and career, finances, recreation and free time, health and fitness, relationships, personal goals, and contribution to the larger community.

At this stage in the journey, it is not necessary to know exactly how you are going to get there. All that is important is that you figure out where there is. If you get clear on that WHAT, the HOW will be taken care of!

High Achievers Have Bigger Visions

The greater danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, 

but that it is too low and we reach it.

Don't limit your vision in any way! Let it be as big as it is.

Always dream big dreams. Big dreams attract big people.

It doesn't take any more energy to create a big dream than it does to create a little one.

Superachievers simply dream bigger.

1. John F. Kennedy dreamed of putting a man on the moon.

2. Martin Luther King Jr. dreamed of a country free of prejudice and injustice.

3. Bill Gates dreams of a world in which every home has a computer that is connected to the Internet.

4. Buckminster Fuller dreamed of a world where everybody had access to electrical power.

If you limit your choices only to what seems possible or reasonable, 

you disconnect yourself from what you truly want, and all that is left is a compromise.

The Vision Exercise

Create your future from your future, not your past.

The following exercise is designed to help you clarify your vision. 

1. First, focus on the financial area of your life. What's your annual income? What does your cash flow look like?How much money do you have in savings and investments? What's your total net worth?

2. Next, visualize your ideal job or career. Where are you working? What are you doing?

3. Then, focus on your free time, your recreation time. What are you doing with your family and friends in the free time you've created for yourself?

4. Next, what is your ideal vision of your body and your physical health?

5. Then move on to your ideal vision of your relationships with your family and friends.

6. What about the personal arena of your life? Do you want to travel to other countries? Do you want to write your autobiography?

7. Finally, focus on the community you live in, the community you've chosen.

Every day, review the vision you have written down. This will keep your conscious and subconscious minds focused on your vision.

Share Your Vision For Maximum Impact

When you've finished writing down your vision, share your vision with a good friend whom you can trust to be positive and supportive. You might be afraid that your friend will think your vision is too outlandish, impossible to achieve, too idealistic, unrealistic, or materialistic.

The truth is, most people, deep down in their hearts, want the very same things you want.

You'll find that when you share your vision, some people will want to help you make it happen. Others will introduce you to friends and resources that can help you.

You'll also find that each time that you share your vision, it becomes clearer and feels more real and attainable. And most importantly, every time you share your vision, you strengthen your own subconscious belief that you can achieve it!

SUCCESS PRINCIPLES #2 - BE CLEAR WHY YOU ARE HERE

Bismillah...

Hi everyone...let's move on the second principles of success which is Be Clear Why You Are Here!

If you can find and be clear your 'WHY', then you will find out yourself very motivated and a lot to be done. No time to be sad, no time to sleep long no time to play so on and so forth.

The Why that makes you cry

If you found your Why

You will fly

High and high...

Learn to get in touch with the silence within yourself and 

know that everything in life has a purpose.

What Were You Put On This Earth To Do

With a purpose, everything in life seems to fall into place. To be "on purpose" means you're doing what you love to do, doing what you're good at and accomplishing what's important to you.

When you truly are on purpose, the people, the resources, and opportunities you need naturally gravitate toward you. The world benefits, too, because when you act in alignment with your true life purpose, all of your actions automatically serve others.

Example :

My life purpose is to humbly serve Allah by being a good example of Muslim, inspire and empower people to live their highest vision in a context of mardhatillah, love and joy.

Decide upon your major definite purpose in life and then organize all your activities around it.

Once you know your life purpose, you can organize all of your activities around it. Everything you do should be an expression of your purpose. If an activity doesn't fit that formula, you wouldn't work on it.

Your Inner Guidance System Is Your Joy

It is the soul's duty to be loyal to its own desires. It must abandon itself to its master passion.

You were born with an inner guidance system that tells you when you are on or off purpose by the amount of joy you are experiencing. The things that bring you the greatest joy are in alignment with your purpose.

 To begin to home in on your purpose, make a list of the times you have felt most joyful and alive. What are the common elements of these experiences? Can you figure out a way to make a living doing these things?

Here is the life purpose exercise to do :

1. List two of your unique personal qualities, such as enthusiasm and creativity.

________________

________________

2. List one or two ways you enjoy expressing those qualities when interacting with others, such as to support and to inspire.

________________

________________

3. Assume the world is perfect right now. What does this world look like? How is everyone interacting with everyone else? What does it feel like? Write your answer as a statement, in the present tense, describing the ultimate condition, the perfect world as you see it and feel it. Remember, a perfect world is a fun place to be.

Example :

Everyone is freely expressing their own unique talents. 

Everyone is working in harmony. 

Everyone is expressing love.

4. Combine the three prior subdivisions of this paragraph into a single statement.

Example :

My purpose is to use my creativity and enthusiasm to support and inspire others to freely express their talents in a harmonious and loving way.

Staying On Purpose

Once you have determined and written down your life purpose, read it everyday, preferably in the morning. If you are artistic or strongly visual by nature, you may want to draw or paint a symbol or picture that represents your life purpose and then hang it somewhere where you will see it everyday. 

This will keep you focused on your purpose!!

SUCCESS PRINCIPLES #1 - TAKE 100% RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR LIFE

Bismillah..

Hi everyone! Today is a great day for me to start a new life! I have been reading a motivational book by Jack Canfield - The Success Principles. For me this book is really practical and can be straight away implemented in your life and I would like to share with you from the first topic onwards so that I can remind myself what did I read. Here is the first success principle! We shall begin......

You must take personal responsibility. You cannot change the circumstances, 

the seasons, or the wind, but you can change yourself.

I you want to be successful, you have to take 100% responsibility for everything that you experience in your life. This includes the level of your achievements, the results you produce, the quality of your relationships, the state of your health and physical fitness, your income, your debts, your feelings and everything!

Taking 100% responsibility means you acknowledge that you create everything that happens to you. It means you understand that you are the cause of all of your experience. If you realize that you have created your current conditions, then you can uncreate and re-create them at will.

99% of all failures come from people who have a habit of making excuses.

If something doesn't turn out as planned, you will ask yourself, "How did I create that? What was I thinking? What were my beliefs? What did I do or not do to create that results?

Remember this formula :

E + R = O

(Event + Response = Outcome)

The basic idea is that every outcome you experience in life is the result of how you have responded to an earlier event or events in your life. You can instead simply change your responses (R) to the events (E), the way things are, until you get the outcomes (O) you want.

If you don't like your outcomes,

change your responses

Everything you experience in life, both internally and externally is the result of how you have responded to a previous event.

You only have to control over 3 things in your life

• the thoughts you think
• the images you visualize
• the actions you take (your behaviour)

If you keep doing what you've always done, you'll keep on getting

what you've always got

You Have To Give Up Blaming

All blame is a waste of time. No matter how much fault you find with another, and regardless of how much you blame him, it will not change you.

You will never become successful as long as you continue to blame someone or something else for your lack of success. If you are going to be a winner, you have to acknowledge the truth - it is you who took the actions, thought the thoughts, created the feelings and made the choices that got you to where you now are. It was you!

You Have To Give Up Complaining

The man who complains about the way the ball bounces is likely the one who dropped it.

The circumstances you complain about are by their very nature, situations you can change, but you have chosen not to. You can get a better job, find a more loving partner, make more money, live in a nicer house, live in a better neighbourhood, and eat healthier food. But all of these things would require you to change.

People only complain about things they can do something about. We don't complain about the things we have no power over. That's why we never heard people blame on gravity! Have you ever seen an elderly person all bent over with age walking down the street complaining about gravity? Never! Because we cannot change gravity!

If you want to get from where you are to where you want to be, 

of course you're going to have to take that risk

You're Complaining To The Wrong Person

People always complain to the wrong people, to people who can't do anything about their complaint.

They go to work and complain about their spouse, they come home and complain to their spouse about the people at work. Why???

Because it's easier...it's less risky.

Making a change might take effort, money and time. So take risk!

Learn to replace complaining with Making Requests and Taking Action that will achieve your desired outcomes. That is what successful people do. That is what works.

So are you clear now? Stop blaming people and take 100% responsibility for you life!

Yes we can do it!!

10 TIPS PENGURUSAN MASA YANG BERKESAN

Kita sering merasa terburu-buru mengejar masa kerana perlukan masa yang banyak bagi melakukan aktiviti harian. Keadaan ini akan menyebabkan kerja yang kita lakukan menjadi kelam kabut. Artikel kali ini berkaitan dengan 10 tips pengurusan masa berkesan.

1. Set Matlamat Dan Strategi

Pastikan apa matlamat kita dalam jangka panjang dan pendek. Dengan merancang matlamat tersebut, kita akan tahu apa yang perlu dicapai dan mengapa perlu kita capai matlamat tersebut bagi memudahkan kita membuat keputusan perkara penting yang perlu diselesaikan.

2. Fokus Matlamat

Kita akan memberi lebih tumpuan dalam melakukan kerja sekiranya kita fokus kepada sesuatu kerja. Buat sesuatu kerja dengan memastikan kerja tersebut merupakan perkara yang utama perlu diselesaikan.

3. Buat Jadual Masa

Bukankah mudah bagi kita untuk merancang kerja yang perlu dilakukan? Set tempoh masa untuk menyelesaikan kerja kerana ini akan mengurangkan rasa risau kerana merasa tidak mencukupi masa.

4. Utamakan Matlamat Asal

Jangan lakukan sesuatu tugas lain sebelum menyelesaikan tugas yang kita sedang lakukan. Sentiasa periksa jadual sebelum memulakan tugas yang baru. Bilakah tugas yang sedang dilakukan itu boleh selesai? Ini akan memastikan tugas yang sedang dibuat akan mencapai matlamat yang berkualiti.

5. Mewujudkan Sistem Pemfailan

Apabila kita telah merancang sesuatu matlamat penting untuk kita mewujudkan sistem dalam pengurusan masa. Salah satu sistem yang boleh kita wujudkan adalah sistem pemfailan yang teratur, pengurusan maklumat dan komunikasi.

6. Realiti Pengurusan Masa Kita

Sentiasa renung kembali kepada pencapaian yang kita buat. Sama ada kita lakukan dengan berkualiti atau sebaliknya. Bahagi-bahagikan matlamat yang dicapai dengan matlamat yang belum dicapai boleh memudahkan kita menentukan matlamat mana yang lebih penting.

7. Kerjasama

Apabila melakukan sesuatu projek atau kerja adalah lebih cepat terhasil apabila bekerjasama dengan kumpulan kerja kerana akan lebih menjimatkan masa, boleh memberi motivasi diri, meningkatkan keyakinan dan boleh mengembangkan kemahiran masing-masing.

8. Pencapaian Lalu

Lihat kembali pencapaian kejayaan kita yang lalu dalam sesuatu kerja. Gunakan teknik ini dengan mempertimbangkan lagi fokus dalam matlamat yang perlu kita capai. Bayangkan kita kerja hari ini kerana kita perlu bercuti pada hari esok hari.

9. Kehidupan Harian

Rancang jadual aktiviti harian juga amat penting kerana kehidupan kita ini adalah bersama-sama keluarga dan rakan-rakan. Pengurusan masa adalah pengurusan kehidupan harian kita.

10. Selesaikan Tugas Hari Ini

Cuba selesaikan tugas pada hari ini. Jangan bertangguh. Dengan menyelesaikan tugas pada hari ini kita dapat merancang tugas esok pula. Sebelum meninggalkan tempat kerja, kita perlu rancang apa tugas yang perlu kita lakukan pada hari esok. Ini mengelakkan rasa risau tentang tugas yang perlu dilakukan dan bersedia untuk melakukan tugas pada hari esok sebelum balik dari pejabat.

Setiap orang mempunyai bilangan masa yang sama iaitu 24 jam sehari. Jangan katakan kita tidak mempunyai masa yang cukup kerana dengan pengurusan masa yang bijak memastikan kita boleh bekerja, bersama-sama keluarga serta berehat dan tidur dengan cukup.

NOVEL KEHIDUPAN

Bismillah...

Malam ni terasa sangat sedih kerana baru sahaja mendapat khabar berita seorang sahabat yang menghidapi penyakit kanser limfoma stage 4 pergi mengadap Ilahi. Rasa terkilan sedikit kerana aku baru berhajat nak berjumpa dengannya kali keempat  tapi akibat terlalu lama menangguh sehingga tak sempat berjumpa...arwah pergi dulu. Allahuakbar...Allahuakbar!

Percaturan Allah melebihi segalanya. Dia Maha Mengetahui apa yang perlu bagi hambaNya. Dia beri bukan ikut kemahuan tetapi ikut keperluan. Arwah pergi meninggalkan seorang anak yang baru berumur 4 bulan dan seorang isteri yang juga junior aku sewaktu di Kolej Kediaman Kemmpat, Universiti Malaya.

Sebenarnya plan nak tidur awal malam ni, esok ada banyak urusan tapi perasaan sedih dan terkilan sampai tak boleh nak lelap. Rasa hiba dan sayu.....Allahuakbar.

Bila direnung kembali, benarlah hidup ini ibarat sebuat novel. Allah menjadi pengarangnya, kita hanya membacanya. Jalan cerita memang sudah siap dirangka dan disusun atur dengan begitu teliti. Segalanya dah dicaturkan, kita sebagai manusia hanya menempuh, berjalan mengikut skrip yang tidak tahu bagaimana pengakhirannya.

Sewaktu menuntut di pondok dahulu, Tuk Guru aku pernah mengajar...

Mengikut fahaman Ahlul Sunnah Wal Jama'ah :

Segala perkara baik dan buruk sememangnya dah ditentukan dan ditetapkan oleh Allah swt sejak azali. Kita sebagai hambaNya hanya perlu berusaha tetapi usaha kita langsung tidak memberi kesan.

Cuma di pihak manusia, kita murnikan dengan menyatakan segala yang baik datangnya daripada Allah swt, segala yang buruk bersandarkan pada kelemahan kita, tetapi hakikatnya kedua-duanya datang daripada Allah.

Allah tidak akan membebani hambaNya dengan sesuatu yang tak tertanggung.

Sebenarnya, setiap perkara yang berlaku dalam kehidupan kita mempunyai hikmah dan nilainya yang tersendiri. Bergantung ada kita bagaimana kita nak mengambilnya sebagai panduan dan pedoman kita ke arah yang lebih baik.

Saya beri contoh...

Jika seseorang itu berimpian ingin menjadi seorang ahli perniagaan dan jutawan yang berjaya dunia akhirat. Bagaimanakah jalan kehidupannya? Adakah dia benar-benar akan jadi jutawan?

Jadi, apakah yang perlu dia buat? Sebenarnya, segalanya dah diatur oleh Allah dan dah tertulis apa pengakhirannya nanti cuma di pihak kita, takkan kita nak duduk berpeluk tubuh? Jadi, kita harus berjalan, bertindak mengikut apa yang dirancang....

Jika benarlah skrip yang kita rancang sama seperti apa yang telah ditetapkan, Allah akan hadapkan kita dengan segala keperluan untuk menjadi jutawan dunia akhirat seperti perlu ada sifat sabar, sifat rendah diri, tidak sombong, tidak membuang masa, banyak berdoa, sentiasa pelihara solat dan lain-lain.

Bagaimana cara Allah mengajar dan mendidik kita? 

Allah mengajar dan mendidik kita melalui PENGHIDUPAN.

Sebab tu kebanyakan jutawan, kita ambil contoh di Malaysia, Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar Al Bukhary, beliau pernah berhadapan dengan kesusahan dan kepayahan hidup. Pernah jatuh, pernah ditipu, dan bayak lagi cabaran yang terpaksa dilaluinya.

Yang pastinya kesemua ini Allah buatkan untuk mendidik supaya hambaNya tadi benar-benar telah bersedia dengan apa yang dirancang, didoa dan diharapkan. Inilah cara Allah mengabulkan setiap permintaan hambaNya. Dia beri jika hambaNya benar-benar telah bersedia. Dia beri mengikut keperluan dan kemampuan bukan kemahuan.

Andaikata seorang kerani biasa (contoh) diberi RM1 juta dan bergelar jutawan segera. Agak-agaklah berapa lama dia dapat kekalkan statusnya sebagai jutawan?? Saya rasa paling lama pun tak sampai setahun, duitnya pasti akan berkurangan. Sebab apa? Sebab dia sendiri belum lagi bersedia untuk jadi jutawan dan dia jadi jutawan bukan kerana usahanya tetapi kerana durian runtuh dan rezeki mengejut! Dengan ketiadaan ilmu berkaitan pengurusan kewangan, tiada ilmu berkaitan aset dan property mana mungkin dia akan jadi jutawan.

Begitu juga dengan seorang perempuan yang belum dikurniakan zuriat setelah lama berkahwin. Mungkin salah satu faktornya selain faktor kesihatan ialah perempuan tersebut belum benar-benar bersedia untuk menjadi ibu. Persediaan tersebut dari segi mental, fizikal, emosi dan sebagainya. Mungkin bila dia menjadi ibu nanti dia tak sanggup bersengkang mata untuk melayan kerenah bayi yang selalu meragam pada waktu tengah malam. Sebab tu la kita lihat ramai di kalangan wanita yang menginginkan zuriat, mereka mengambil anak angkat terlebih dahuu kemudiannya baru dikurniakan zuriat.

Rasulullah juga sebelum menjadi Rasul, Allah beri ujian yang amat dahsyat. Pernah dibaling batu, diejek, dibaling najis, dipulaukan, dicerca dan dimaki hamun oleh bapa saudaranya sendiri, menjadi anak yatim piatu ketika berumur 6 tahun. Andaikata Rasulullah masih ada ibubapa ketika dewasa, mana mungkin Rasulullah dapat menjadi sebegitu hebat dan kuat  orangnya Segala tekanan yang datang Baginda mampu bertahan dan hanya Allah tempat mengadu dan bergantung harap. Ini bererti cara Allah mendidik Baginda sebegitu teliti dan teratur dan kelihatan sangat sempurna.

Saya pernah terbaca kata-kata hikmat daripada sebuah buku...

If  you suffer in your life, just suffer away....

Hidup ini ada naik ada turun. Mesti ada naik dan turun. Graf manusia tak semestinya selama-lamanya naik dan selama-lamanya turun.

Selalunya sebelum naik (berjaya) kita akan melalui satu fasa yang dipanggil pembelajaran. Di sinilah berlakunya cabaran dan rintangan yang terpaksa kita terima. 

Manusia banyak belajar dari penghidupan dan proses yang dilaluinya. Jadi, sementara kita susah kita harus belajar sebanyak mungkin. Redha setiap perkara yang berlaku.

Aku pernah melalui kesusahan dan kepayahan. Banyak yang aku belajar. Sekarang ni pun masih terus belajar dan belajar dan belajar......sebenarnya terlalu privacy untuk aku ceritakan tapi tak apalah untuk renungan bersama aku ceritakan sedikit.

Aku pernah melalui fasa di mana aku mengalami masalah kewangan yang teruk dan sangat kritikal..emm. Hanya Allah tempat aku mengadu. Nak cerita pada mak ayah, jauh sekali sebab bagi aku cukuplah aku dah susahkan mereka sewaktu belajar dahulu. Aku punyai prinsip jika kita tak mampu untuk menyenangkan mereka, jangan pula menyusahkan.

Nak dijadikan cerita, di poket aku tiada duit langsung hatta untuk membeli makanan! Tau tak apa yang aku makan ketika itu? Aku hanya makan roti yang dah berkulat.....itu sahaja makanan yang tinggal. Kebetulan aku masih menyimpan roti yang expired seminggu dan sekaya. Jadi, aku pun kikis kulat yang ada pada roti, aku sapukan sekaya kemudian aku bakar roti tersebut untuk hilangkan bau hapak.......dan aku makan dalam keadaan menangis. Tapi dalam hati aku ketika itu masih redha atas jalan yang aku pilih dan aku tahu Allah tetap sayangkan aku.

Banyak lagilah kisah dan pengalaman nak diceritakan...tapi biarlah dulu sebab belum tiba masanya. Di sebalik cerita itu, aku dapat banyak pengajaran.

Jika kita berduit, mesti berjimat cermat dan sentiasa bersedekah.

Sentiasa ingat ada yang lebih susah daripada kita. Orang Afrika ramai yang mati kebuluran.

Mulai saat itu, aku dah mula belajar untuk menyimpan duit dan belajar cara menambahkan lagi duit yang sedia ada =) 

Jika kita menghadapi kesusahan, dan graf kehidupan kita berada di bawah, haruslah kita ingat, graf tersebut TAKKAN menjunam sebawah-bawahnya....mana mungkin! Pada satu tahap, graf tersebut akan melonjak naik juga sama ada secara mendadak atau sedikit demi sedikit, dengan syarat kita haruslah BERGERAK dan BERTINDAK...jangan duduk diam!

Jika kita berada di atas pula, amat susah untuk kita jatuh ke bawah kembali jika kita sudah belajar dengan segala ilmu dan pengalaman sewaktu kita di fasa kesusahan tadi.....tapi AWAS!! Orang yang sedang naik akan jatuh semula jika SOMBONG. Ini pesan mentor aku.

Yang penting sekali, jika anda ada impian tinggi, jangan berputus harap. Never Lose Hope.

Banyakkan berdoa....Allah Maha Mengetahui apa yang kita perlu...

Dia akan beri dan pasti akan beri jika kita mahu dan bersedia.

Jadi, adakah anda sudah bersedia???
