Euro 2008
Euro fever is sweeping across the globe with no exception to Malaysia, even with its odd time zone differences.
The traditional giants like Germany, France, Italy, and Holland are all poised to become the new champions of Europe.
But hey, I think we are having 4 dominant dark horses which can spring some surprises and shock the world by grabbing the cup at the end of the tournament. These horses are none other than Switzerland, Greece, Russia, and Sweden.
To all my female friends / bloggers who have footballing boyfriend or husband, pls bear with them for the coming 3 weeks. You will definitely get some rewards after that (:

plan A vs plan B
There is a saying : " If you fail to plan, you plan to fail !".
Yaa, it's right to some extent ..
To me, the saying is not complete, let me add some touches to it ...
We need to have plan B or even plan C, apart from our master plan A, as a backup.
Backup or contingency plan can save a person from embarrassment and in some cases can prevent the person from being collapsed, either mentally or physically.
On another perspective, it's always appropriate to remain faithful to our significant other half without subscribing to this contingency practices :)

We need to take our abilities beyond domestic borders with the ability to fully utilize the Internet to transact in multiple languages and cultures, bringing new meaning to the term "global trade."

1. Here's how it works. Let's say I need to buy a forklift. There are two ways I can approach this:
a. I can buy it without getting ideas from the people who actually operate this kind of machine. They will accept the new piece of equipment, but their hearts won't be in driving it because I may have purchased one that doesn't meet their requirements. Then their attitude about their jobs and their company will suffer, and our relationship will suffer.
b. Before I make this purchase, I ask my people for their input. If I choose the latter approach, I guarantee they will exceed their performance goals simply because they want to, because they are engaged.
2. If you as a leader can accept that you do not sit at the top of the pyramid, that in fact, you sit at the bottom and are a servant to your people, you will move mountains in the workplace. You will bring the hearts and minds back into the workplace. When you do that, you will have fun and be satisfied internally.
3. Empowering people doesn't mean leaders relinquish their responsibilities. It means you establish goals, anchor the organization to a set of values, give your employees necessary tools and skills, free the organization to do what it can within these parameters -- then get out of the way.

Fish & Fuel
"Imagine ur dad is a fisherman, he caught 1kg of fish and cook for u, then he ask u to pay him RM2.70, the son complained why ? The dad told the son, look ... the fish will cost u RM4.00 if u buy outside. It is already cheap as I subsidized u RM1.30"

Henry Ford said :"If we had asked the public what they wanted, they would have said faster horses."
From the USA
"If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader." ~ John Quincy Adams, 6th President of the United States of America
