Rules for being human

1. Your will receive a body. You may like it, or hate it, but it will be
yours for the entire period this time around.

*********

2. You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full time informal school
called life. Each day in this school you have the opportunity to learn
lessons. You may like the lessons or think they are irrelevant and stupid.

*********

3. There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial and
error and experimentation. The “failed” experiments are as much a part of
the process as the experiment that ultimately “works”.

*********

4. A lesson is repeated until learned… A lesson will be presented to you
in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you
can go to the next lesson. Periodically, the lesson will be re- presented to
see if you still remember it.

*********

5. Learning lessons does not end. There is no part of life that does not
contain its lessons. If you are alive, there ar e lessons to be learnt. If
no lessons is being presented, it is likely that you are no longer alive.

*********

6. “There” is no better than “here”. When your “there” has become a “here”,
you will simply acquire another “there”. That will again look better than
“here”.

*********

7. Others are simply mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about
another person unless it reflects something you love or hate about yourself.

*********

8. What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tools and
resources you need. What you make of them is up to you; the choice is yours.

*********

9. Your answers lie inside you. The answers to life’s questions lie inside
you. All you have to do is look, listen and trust.

*********

10. You will forget all this. That fact is itself a lesson.

“People who hold the unpleasant work, at the end have to do it twice. Always compromising with this thing, one day there might be a continuous suffer.”

Years ago, below the clock of Astra’s production factory, there was a word, ‘Do it right now!’

If only we ourselves living live with that quote, success will come faster to our effort.

The habbit to delay works that we don’t like till tomorow has indeed arise anxiety & un-hapiness that no need to happen.

Most of the time we waste energy for the anxiety of not doing, rather than the energy to finish it.

The more job that you have done, the lesser problems that you will have other than keep anticipating.

The joy of finishing hard task is the compensation for us.

The road of success is not always the road that shows the least “fight”.

People who succeed in their life are not those who have always look for the easiest solution.

Success is more to the people who are willing to pay at any price he / she needs to pay, people who strive to the destination no matter how hard is the road to go there.

The habbit to delay jobs we don’t like could ruin our lifes.

 By increasing belief and faith, we will minimize hassles on our way.

THINK OUT OF THE BOX.

Perbedaannya akan bagaikan langit dan bumi.
Berapa besar space yang ada “di dalam box” tsb ? Relatif
Berapa besar space yang ada “di luar box” tsb ? WOW! No Limit

Coba kita lupakan segenap teori canggih dunia marketing (spt ttg brand
equity, market share, dst,dst) ataupun lupakan segenap persyaratan utama
untuk jadi pengusaha (spt perlu modal besar, skill, leaderships, management
yang piawai, keberanian menghadapi resiko, dst, dst). Sementara banyak orang
yang masih harus bergelut dalam kesibukan marketing ataupun bisnis setiap
hari setelah 10 tahun bekerja, mari kita simak kisah ilustrasi seorang
TUKANG BECAK tamatan SD yang sudah mencapai “financial freedom” setelah
bekerja
hanya lebih kurang 5 tahun saja, dgn “passive income” Rp. 9 juta/bulan !!!

Becak ke-1 :
==> Seorang tukang becak memiliki becak motor dengan penghasilan bersih Rp.
60,000/hari (bekerja dari pagi hingga larut malam). Biaya hidupnya sekitar
Rp. 30,000/hari. Lalu ia berjuang utk konsisten menabung Rp. 30,000/hari.
Dalam tempo 400 hari, ia mampu membeli becak kedua yang harganya Rp. 12
juta/unit.

Becak Ke-2 :
==> Ia sewakan becak keduanya dengan tarif Rp. 30,000/hari. Sementara ia
tetap menarik becak pertamanya. Sekarang ia bisa menabung Rp. 60,000/hari.
Dalam tempo 200 hari, ia mampu membeli becak ketiga.

Becak Ke-3 :
==> Ia sewakan becak ketiganya, sehingga sekarang ia mampu menabung Rp.
90,000/hari. Dalam tempo 134 hari, ia membeli becak ke-4.

Becak Ke-4 :
==> Ia sewakan becak tsb, sehingga sekarang ia mampu menabung
Rp. 120,000/hari. Dalam tempo 100 hari, ia membeli becak baru lagi.

Becak Ke-5 :
==> Ia sewakan becak tsb, sehingga sekarang ia mampu menabung Rp.
150,000/hari. Dalam tempo 80 hari, ia membeli becak baru lagi.

Becak Ke-6 :
==> Ia sewakan becak tsb, sehingga sekarang ia mampu menabung Rp.180,000/hari.
Dalam tempo 67 hari, ia membeli becak baru lagi.

Becak Ke-7 :
==> Ia sewakan becak tsb, sehingga sekarang ia mampu menabung Rp.
210,000/hari. Dalam tempo 57 hari, ia membeli becak baru lagi.

Becak Ke-8 :
==> Ia sewakan becak tsb, sehingga sekarang ia mampu menabung Rp.
240,000/hari. Dalam tempo 50 hari, ia membeli becak baru lagi.

Becak Ke-9 :
==> Ia sewakan becak tsb, sehingga sekarang ia mampu menabung Rp.
270,000/hari. Dalam tempo 45 hari, ia membeli becak baru lagi.

Becak Ke-10 :
==> Ia sewakan becak tsb, sehingga sekarang ia mampu menabung Rp.
300,000/hari. Dalam tempo 40 hari, ia membeli becak baru lagi.

Setelah becak ke-10, ia berhenti menarik becak. Ia sewakan becak pertamanya
ke orang lain. Ia lalu menggaji seorang “mandor” untuk mengurusi ke-10
becaknya. Ia PENSIUN. Kini ia menikmati penghasilan Rp. 300,000/hari, atau
Rp. 9 juta/bulan (sebelum potong gaji sang
mandor). Jika ditotal semua usahanya tsb hanya dicapai dalam tempo 3,2 TAHUN
SAJA.
===================
Tentu saja ini cuma sebuah ilustrasi, dengan menarik garis lurus dari sebuah
bisnis. Katakanlah dalam tempo 10 tahun (bukan 3,2 tahun seperti dalam
ilustrasi), sang TUKANG BECAK mampu mencapainya. Ini LOGIS, dan bisa
terjadi.

Berapa banyak TUKANG BECAK di dunia yang seperti itu ? Mungkin 1 banding 10
juta. Tetapi ADA.

Berapa banyak TUKANG BECAK di dunia yang menjadi tukang becak seumur
hidupnya dan terus hidup susah ? Buanyyaaak sekali.

Sekarang bandingkan dengan banyak profesional tamatan S1 ataupun S2, atau
bandingkan dengan para pengusaha ataupun marketer yang masih harus bergelut
dengan kesibukan mencari nafkah setiap hari. Kontras sekali bukan….

THINK OUT OF THE BOX. Perbedaannya akan bagaikan langit dan bumi.

Kunci kesuksesannya terletak pada “duplikasi”. Ini rahasianya : “Jalankan
bisnis yang mudah diduplikasikan, dan tidak perlu keterlibatan kita secara
penuh dalam bisnis tsb”. Cth : ikuti bisnis franchise yang berpotensi, beli
asset lalu sewakan asset tsb,
dst.

Kunci kesuksesan lainnya terletak pada prinsip hidup hemat pada awalnya,
menabung sebanyak mungkin lalu diinvestasikan, lakukan terus menerus, sampai
hasilnya sangat besar, kemudian baru hidup bersenang2.
=============================
Mari berhitung matematika …

Jika Anda diberikan 2 option kontrak kerja / kontrak bisnis berikut ini,
mana yang
Anda pilih ?

1). Kontrak 2 tahun, tidak dpt dibatalkan, penghasilan / bulan Rp. 100 juta.

2). Kontrak 2 tahun, tidak dpt dibatalkan, penghasilan di bulan pertama cuma
Rp. 1000, tapi berlipat dua setiap bulan.

Pilih mana ????

Jawabannya :

Option I : Penghasilan Rp. 100 juta/bln x 24 bln = Rp. 2,4 Milyar

Option II : Penghasilan sebesar ==>

Bulan ke- 1. Rp. 1,000 13. Rp. 4 juta
2. Rp. 2,000 14. Rp. 8 juta
3. Rp. 4,000 15. Rp. 16 juta
4. Rp. 8,000 16. Rp. 32 juta
5. Rp. 16,000 17. Rp. 64 juta
6. Rp. 32,000 18. Rp. 128 juta
7. Rp. 64,000 19. Rp. 256 juta
8. Rp. 128,000 20. Rp. 512 juta
9. Rp. 256,000 21. Rp. 1024 juta
10. Rp. 512,000 22. Rp. 2048 juta
11. Rp. 1,024,000 23. Rp. 4096 juta
12. Rp. 2,000,000 24. Rp. 8192 juta atau (8,192 Milyar)

Jika Anda pilih option I, Anda kecolongan hampir 6 MILYAR !!!

Kekuatan duplikasi ini bahkan dikagumi oleh Albert Eintein, ilmuwan paling
cemerlang penemu bom atom, ia mengatakan “Kekuatan duplikasi adalah
keajaiban dunia ke delapan”.

KARAKTER dan sifat seseorang kadangkala bisa dikenali dari wajahnya. Bahkan  kecenderungan seks seseorang pun  bisa diketahui  dari wajah atau penampilannya.  

Seperti yang dilaporkan AP, Rabu (8/4), para psikolog di Skotlandia belum lama ini melakukan sebuah   penelitian  untuk memahami  daya tarik serta  perannya dalam menemukan pasangan. Survei ini dilakukan para peneliti dari Universitas Durham dibantu tim dari Universitas Aberdeen dan St Andrews.   Mereka melibatkan sekitar 700 responden heteroseksual yang masih  berusia   20-an.  

Nah bagi Anda yang akan menjalin hubungan,   mencari informasi seperti apakah sifat dan karakter pasangan tentu sangatlah penting, apalagi jika hubungan yang akan dijalin ini serius.   Jadi jangan sampai salah menilai. Bisa jadi keberuntungan menjauh, malah kegagalan yang didapat.

Surely, there is a problem with young people today. At 35 they think of slowing down, complain about stress and question “the purpose of their lives and careers”.

I am 58 and still studying all sorts of interesting things – bio-robotics, medical diagnostic imaging systems, telecommunications, electrical power, medical advances and poetry, to name a few and enjoying classical music.

When I was 35, I was being trained in Japan in machine tools. I was also mugging for a first degree, followed by a second and a third, . Even now, I attend conferences all over the world ( from New York to London to Pisa) to keep up with the latest that technology has to offer.

Young people should be showing great interest in emerging events, relishing the surge in available knowledge and developing their scientific curiosity. Slowing down would be disastrous for the global economy, because young people are the driving force with their enthusiasm and youthful strength.

Exercise, both physical and mental, is needed for health. What those in their 30s should enjoy is a healthy lifestyle.

They should think of taking up a hobby, if they have lots of spare time. In this way, they have their minds occupied. If not, idle minds make the heart weary. They soon get weary of their jobs, whereas in their earlier years, their aim was to maximize their chances in the hope of making it good in their careers.

What young people lack is the realization that they still have a long way to go before they can relax

They should not be self-satisfied with their achievements and consider slowing down at age 35, or retire early, resigned to a sedentary lifestyle. That is unhealthy and is the result of seeing laziness being lauded as the trend of the new age.

Instead, there are over more challenges. The young should take up these challenges to enrich their lives. Not only will struggle improve their performance at work, but they will also reap the rewards from year to year with a typical “learn, unlearn, relearn” mindset.
