Top 10 Questions to Ask Yourself

Posted in SUCCESS Tips on May 28, 2008 by alpha08

Start by asking yourself some specific questions. Keep a record of your answers in a notebook or journal.

Here are 10 questions to begin your journey and remember, YOU will always be a WORK IN PROGRESS.

1) If you could do anything you want to tomorrow, what would it be?

The answer should not be something that is an escape from what you ordinarily would be doing, but in more positive terms of a true dream.

2) What are your core values?

Core values became yours in childhood and you would not be you if you did not respect those. Make a list and then pare it down to the 5 that speak to you most strongly.

3) What are your special talents?

4) What do you do better than most people you know?

5) What were your dreams as a child?

If you have trouble remembering, go back and look at early photographs. Notice details to jog your memory.

6) What is the thing you are most proud of accomplishing in your life so far?

If you are tempted to answer “getting into college” or “passing the bar”, ask yourself something more personal and unique. For example, ask yourself if “getting into college” would have been the choice you made if it hadn’t been expected of you. Would you have preferred to learn a trade had it been an acceptable choice? What moments of triumph did you have as a child?

7) What will you regret not doing in your life if you continue as you are now?

8) What do you want people to say about you after you are no longer living? What is your legacy?

9)
What do you want to do when you retire?

10) Outside of parents who influenced your life more than anyone else; who had an impact on your life and what was it about that person that meant something to you?

The next step is to put self knowledge into action. That means you begin planning your life based on what you know about yourself. You notice if WHAT you do, act, behave, work, and make choices are in sync with WHO you are. It is complex because we are all influenced by the outside world to make the choices we do.

In the immortal words of Joseph Campbell, “Follow your bliss.”

When you know yourself and act in accordance, the path becomes clear.

When u change everything will change – key to success

Posted in SUCCESS Tips on May 26, 2008 by alpha08
Changing Habits -

Human beings are creatures of habit. We get into a routine that we are comfortable with and we stick to it unless something big comes along and shocks us out of it. Our daily habits often force us to put up with all kind of degrading and destructive events, all in the name of keeping things comfortable or familiar. We would rather put up with the habits we know because we can put up with them, rather than create new habits that we have never experienced before.

The excuses for clinging to our habits range from almost acceptable to completely neurotic. For example, staying in a job that you don’t like so that you can continue to pay the mortgage and feed your family is almost an acceptable excuse for staying at your job. It would be just foolish to suddenly quit and start thinking about how to pay your bills.

But it is wrong to think that this job that you dislike has to be it for the rest of your life. Sure it’s comfortable, you know you can do it, but don’t you owe to yourself, your family, and your employer to get out and do a job that is right for you?

Nothing will change if you don’t change. The first step is recognizing that change is necessary. Secondly you have to figure out where you would be more fulfilled in your career. Maybe you have to do something more creative, something outdoors in nature, something that allows you to be in different places, or maybe you have to be the one making all the decisions with your own business. When you are clear about what it is that you really want from your career, you have to start taking steps towards it.

A new job is not going to come running to you just because you’re unhappy with your old one. If it’s a new industry you may have a lot to learn before even thinking about applying for new positions. You may have to take classes at night while you put up with your dull job during the day.

If it’s your own business that you dream of, you may have to start from your home. Working during the night and weekends to move closer to doing it fulltime and leaving your old job.

Just because we are familiar with something is no reason to continue doing it. It’s easy to get caught up in day to day living – especially if you have a family to take care of – and to put off any changes that could improve your life. Change can invoke fear, insecurity, and feelings of loss in people. Make the change anyway!

Life is not pausing for you while you are putting up with something that you dislike. Life is passing you by while you waste it doing the wrong thing. There’s no rewind button, there’s only now, and if you’re not happy with your now, Change it!

Posted in UNIQUE (Images) on May 25, 2008 by alpha08

Life is unique dan saya percaya anda juga adalah INSAN yg UNIK, itulah sebabnya setiap manusia sebenarnya mempunyai kelebihan dan kekurangannya tersendiri. Kunci bagi kebahagiaan dan kejayaan ialah dengan mengembangkan kelebihan anda sehingga segala kekurangan anda menjadi sangat kecil/tidak ketara. Tumpukan perhatian kepada kelebihan yang ada pada anda, nescaya segala kekurangan pun akan menjadi kelebihan anda.

Unique mean you are different – find your own way of life and people will call u “UNIQUE”. The key n the good news is u don’t have to be somebody else b’coq u are already different(unique) compared to others, just developed your very own/inborn character THEN U’LL BECOME UNIQUE

Secret Of Happiness – For Fayedoza

Posted in INSPIRATIONAL Stories on May 24, 2008 by alpha08
RAHSIA KEBAHAGIAAN

Seorang pemuda mendatangi seorang Guru, katanya

“Guru, saya sudah bosan hidup, benar-benar jenuh. Rumahtangga saya berantakan. Segala usaha saya kacau. Apapun yang saya lakukan selalu gagal. Saya ingin mati.”

Sang Guru tersenyum “Oh kamu sakit”.

“Tidak, Guru, saya tidak sakit. Saya sehat, hanya jenuh dengan kehidupan saya. Itu sebabnya saya ingin mati”.

Seolah-olah tidak mendengarkan penerangannya, sang Guru meneruskan
“Kamu sakit. Penyakitmu itu bernama “Alergi Kehidupan”. Ya, kamu alergi terhadap kehidupan”.

“Penyakitmu itu boleh disembuhkan, asal kamu benar-benar bertekad ingin sembuh dan bersedia mengikuti petunjukku”, kata sang Guru.

“Tidak Guru, tidak. Saya sudah betul-betul jenuh. Tidak, saya tidak ingin hidup lebih lama lagi”, pemuda itu menolak tawaran sang Guru.

“Jadi kamu tidak ingin sembuh. Kamu betul-betul ingin mati?”, tanya sang Guru.

“Ya, memang saya sudah bosan hidup”, jawab pemuda itu lagi.

“Baiklah. Kalau begitu besok petang kamu akan mati. Ambillah botol racun ini…
Malam nanti, minumlah separuh isi botol ini. Sedangkan separuh sisanya kau minum besok petang jam 6. Maka esok jam 8 malam kau akan mati dengan tenang” jawab Guru.
“Tetapi setelah kamu minum setengah yang pertama, kamu harus berbuat baik dan menolong semua orang dan tidak boleh marah, agar racun ini dapat bekerja dengan baik dan kamu mati dengan tenang”.

Kini giliran pemuda itu menjadi bingung. Sebelumnya, semua Guru yang dia temui berusaha untuk memberikan semangat hidup. Namun Guru yang satu ini aneh. Alih-alih memberi semangat hidup, malah menawarkan racun.
Tetapi kerana dia memang sudah betul-betul sudah jenuh, dia menerimanya dengan senang hati.

Setibanya di rumah, dia langsung menghabiskan setengah botol racun yang diberikan oleh Guru tadi. Lalu ia merasakan ketenangan yang tidak pernah ia rasakan sebelumnya. Begitu rileks, begitu santai! Tinggal satu malam dan satu hari lagi ia akan mati. Ia akan terbebas dari segala macam masalah!

Malam itu, ia memutuskan untuk makan malam bersama keluarga di restoran terkenal. Sesuatu yang tidak pernah ia lakukan selama beberapa tahun terakhir. Ini adalah malam teraknirnya. Ia ingin meninggalkan kenangan manis. Sambil makan ia bersenda gurau. Suasananya amat harmonis. Sebelum tidur, ia mencium isterinya dan berbisik,
“Sayang, aku mencintaimu”. Sekali lagi, kerana malam itu adalah malam terakhir, ia ingin meninggalkan kenangan manis.

Esoknya, setelah bangun tidur, ia membuka jendela bilik dan melihat keluar. Tiupan angin pagi menyegarkan tubuhnya, dan ia tergoda untuk melakukan jalan pagi. Setengah jam kemudian ia kembali ke rumah, ia menemukan isterinya masih tertidur. Tanpa membangunkan isterinya, ia masuk dapur dan membuat dua cawan kopi. Satu untuk dirinya dan satu lagi untuk isterinya. Kerana pagi itu adalah pagi terakhir, ia ingin meninggalkan kenangan manis! Sang isteripun merasa aneh sekali dan berkata,
“Sayang, apa yang terjadi hari ini? Selama ini mungkin aku salah. Maafkan aku sayang”.

Di pejabat, ia menyapa setiap orang, bersalaman dengan setiap orang. Staffnya pun bingung,
“Hari ini Bos kita aneh ya?”
Dan sikap merekapun langsung berubah. Mereka pun menjadi lembut. Karena hari itu adalah hari terakhir, ia ingin meninggalkan kenangan manis!
Tiba-tiba, segala sesuatu di sekitarnya berubah. Ia menjadi ramah dan lebih toleran, bahkan menghargai pendapat-pendapat orang lain. Tiba-tiba hidup menjadi indah. Ia mulai menikmatinya.

Pulang ke rumah jam 5 petang, ia menemukan isterinya menunggu di depan pintu. Kali ini justeru sang isteri yang memberikan ciuman kepadanya sambil berkata,
“Sayang, sekali lagi aku minta maaf, kalau selama ini aku selalu menyusahkanmu”.
Anak-anakpun tidak ingin ketinggalan,
“Ayah maafkan kami semua. Selama ini ayah selalu tertekan karena perilaku kami”.

Tiba-tiba, sungai kehidupannya mengalir kembali. Tiba-tiba, hidup menjadi sangat indah. Ia ingin membatalkan niatnya untuk bunuh diri, tetapi bagaimana dengan setengah botol yang sudah ia minum petang sebelumnya?
Tanpa membuang masa, ia segera menemui sang Guru lagi.

Melihat wajah pemuda itu, rupanya sang Guru sudah mengetahui apa yang telah terjadi dan langsung berkata,
“Buang saja botol itu. Isinya Cuma air biasa. Kau sudah sembuh. Apabila kau benar-benar “hidup” dengan kesedaran bahwa maut dapat menjemputmu bila-bila saja, maka kau akan menikmati setiap detik kehidupanmu. Leburlah “EGO”mu, keangkuhanmu, kesombonganmu! Jadilah lembut, selembut air. Dan mengalirlah bersama sungai kehidupanmu. Kau tidak akan bosan. Kau akan merasa hidup. Itulah rahsia kehidupan. Itulah kunci kebahagiaan. Itulah jalan menuju ketenangan”.

Pemuda itu mengucapkan terima kasih dan menyalami sang Guru, lalu pulang ke rumah, untuk mengulangi pengalaman malam dan hari sebelumnya. Konon ia masih mengalir terus. Ia tidak pernah lupa lagi untuk selalu “Hidup”.
Itulah sebabnya ia selalu bahagia, selalu tenang, selalu HIDUP!


Pesan moral dari cerita tadi:

Banyak sekali di antara kita yang alergi terhadap kehidupan. Kemudian tanpa disedari kita melakukan hal-hal yang bertentangan dengan norma kehidupan. Hidup ini berjalan terus, sungai kehidupan ini mengalir terus, tetapi kita menginginkan keadaan status-quo.
Kita berhenti di tempat, kita tidak ikut mengalir. Itu sebabnya kita jatuh sakit. Kita mengundang penyakit. Penolakan kita untuk ikut mengalir bersama kehidupan membuat kita sakit.

Usaha pasti ada pasang-surutnya. Dalam berumahtangga pertengkaran kecil itu memang wajar. Persahabatanpun tidak selalu rukun. Apa sebenarnya yang abadi dalam hidup ini? Kita tidak menyedari sifat kehidupan. Kita ingin mempertahankan suatu keadaan. Kemudian kita gagal, kecewa dan menderita.

INGATLAH,
Semua yang kita perbuat kepada orang lain adalah yang kita tabur!
Semua yang kita dapatkan dari orang lain adalah yang kita tuai!
Maka kalau kita ingin diperlakukan dengan hormat, dengan sopan, dengan baik, maka perlakukanlah orang lain dengan hormat, sopan dan baik pula!
Kalau kita ingin orang lain memperhatikan kita, maka kitapun harus memperhatikan orang lain. Kalau ingin pendapat kita didengarkan, maka dengarkan dulu pendapat orang lain!
Kalau anda hendakkan kebahagiaan, adalah lebih baik kita menggembirakan orang lain. Kata2 hikmat mengatakan
“Jika anda bersedih, hiburlah orang yang lebih bersedih, maka kesedihan anda akan hilang’

“I don’t know what your destiny will be, but one thing I do know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who have sought and found how to serve others”
“When we feel love and kindness toward others, it not only makes others feel loved and cared for, but it helps us also to develop inner happiness and peace”

The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up. ~Mark Twain

Hospital Window??

Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room.

One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs.
His bed was next to the room’s only window.

The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back.

The men talked for hours on end. They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation.

Every afternoon when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window.

The man in the other bed began to live for those one hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside.

The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance.

As the man by the window described all this in exquisite detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the picturesque scene.

One warm afternoon the man by the window described a parade passing by.

Although the other man couldn’t hear the band – he could see it. In his mind’s eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words.

Days and weeks passed.

One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep. She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away.

As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone.

Slowly, painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the real world outside. He strained to slowly turn to look out the window beside the bed.

It faced a blank wall.

The man asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this window.

The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall.

She said, “Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you.”

I WONDER…..

There is tremendous happiness in making others happy, despite our own situations.

Shared grief is half the sorrow, but happiness when shared, is doubled.

If you want to feel rich, just count all the things you have that money can’t buy.
