Golden Rules For Career Success - Richard Moran


WORKING as a business consultant allover the world, I have discovered somebasic career-related rules that everyoneshould know—but many don’t.

Business is made up of ambiguous victories andnebulous defeats. Claim them all as victories.

Keep track of what you do; someone is sure to ask.

Be comfortable around senior managers, or learn tofake it.

Never bring your boss a problem without some solution.You are getting paid to think, not to whine.

Long hours don’t mean anything; results count, noteffort.

Write down ideas; they get lost, like good pens.

Always arrive at work 30 minutes before your boss.

Help other people network for jobs. You never knowwhen your turn will come.Don’t take days off sick—unless you are.

Assume no one can/will keep a secret.

Know when you do your best—morning, night, underpressure, relaxed; schedule and prioritize yourwork accordingly.

Treat everyone who works in the organization withrespect and dignity, whether it be the cleaner or themanaging director. Don’t ever be patronizing.

Never appear stressed in front of a client, a customeror your boss. Take a deep breath and ask yourself: Inthe course of human events, how important is this?

If you get the entrepreneurial urge, visit someonewho has his own business. It may cure you.

Acknowledging someone else’s contribution willrepay you doubly.

Career planning is an oxymoron. The most excitingopportunities tend to be unplanned.

Always choose to do what you’ll remember ten yearsfrom now.

The size of your office is not as important as the sizeof your pay cheque.

Understand what finished work looks like and deliveryour work only when it is finished.

The person who spends all of his or her time is nothard-working; he or she is boring.

Know how to write business letters—includingthank-you notes as well as proposals.

Never confuse a memo with reality. Most memosfrom the top are political fantasy.

Eliminate guilt. Don’t fiddle expenses, taxes orbenefits, and don’t cheat colleagues.

Reorganizations mean that someone will lose his orher job. Get on the committee that will make therecommendations.

Job security does not exist.

Always have an answer to the question, “What would I do if I lost my job tomorrow?”

Go to the company Christmas party.

Don’t get drunk at the company Christmas party.

Avoid working at weekends. Work longer during theweek if you have to.

The most successful people in business are interesting.

Sometimes you’ll be on a winning streak and everythingwill click; take maximum advantage. Whenthe opposite is true, hold steady and wait it out.

Never in your life say, “It’s not my job.”

Be loyal to your career, your interests and yourself.

Understand the skills and abilities that set you apart.Use them whenever you have an opportunity.

People remember the end of the project. As they sayin boxing, “Always finish stronger than you start.”W

It's Up To Me - by Don Merrell of the JR Simplot Company:


I want a workplace, that's Injury Free

And if that's going to happen, then it's up to me.

I can't take for granted, that anyone,

Has done all the things, that I should have done.

I must, take the time, with each task I do,

To look for the hazards, and think the job through.

To check the procedures and follow them all

And reject taking shortcuts, no matter how small.

When I walk through the workplace, I must stay alert

To watch for those things, that could get people hurt.

And if I see a hazard, I won't rest until,

I have made the thing safe, or know someone will.

I must question each unsafe behaviour I see,

And encourage all others, to do that for me.

I must always give safety, the best I can do.

And expect that performance of all others too.

I must always remember to let people see,

That their safe behaviour, is important to me.

Every act is important, no matter how small.

For the safety of one, is the safety of all

We can all have a workplace that's injury free

If we each one Commit, to Making It Be,

If we all do our part, and each of us see,

If It's Going to Happen, - Then It's Up To Me.

Mind Power...


Rutin aku setiap pagi sebelum mandi.. aku akan senyum depan cermin.. bukan sebab aku gila...tapi aku imagine aku melihat orang lain senyum kat aku ... agar hari nie aku lalui dengan senyuman.....walau macamana teruk sekalipun aku tau aku akan survive!!

..walaupon tiada yang memotivasikan diri kita kita perlu ada inisiatif untuk memotivasikan diri sendiri... aku percaya all in the state of mind......mind is power!


My best friend and english tutor Mike always emphasized on Power of Mind. Anything you want to achieve or to make happen, begin in your mind. From there, your desire must betranslated in to action. Action means really doing it, doing it and re-doing it. Dont let people, friends stop you from achieving what you really want to achieve.


Never give up!..

menjadi manusia tanpa dibebani masalah bukan lah kehidupan namanya.. kekuatan minda untuk mengawal emosi amat penting dala mencapai impian.

Apa pun kawan, jangan lupa pada Maha Pencipta pohon diberi kuatan hati dan fikiran disamping azam unutk menjadi insan yang lebih baik..

Insyaallah

Transform Yourself


Life coach Tony Robbins has noticed patterns in what makes people succeed or fail, what makes them happy or sad, and what creates a life of meaning and fulfillment versus a life of frustration and despair. To transform yourself and your life, Robbins says:
Don't live in "No Man's Land," that place where you're not really happy, but you're not unhappy enough to do anything about it. Don't passively accept what comes your way; drive your life toward what you really want.
See things as they are, not worse. Then see it better than it is, and then make it the way you see it.
Don't avoid failure. Failure is necessary for real learning to occur. Overcoming obstacles gives us psychological strength—the very thing that forms character.
Don't focus only on achievement. Extraordinary accomplishment does not guarantee joy, happiness, love and a sense of meaning. You must also focus on fulfillment.
Decide what you will no longer stand for and what you're committed to. Clarity is power.
Take massive action. You have to be willing to do the things you don't want to do. You have to build a momentum that consistent action produces.
Notice what's working and what's not working. When it is not working, change your approach. Keep changing until you finally achieve what you are committed to.
