BUGS IN THE BOX

Once day, a professor made an experiment on bugs’ behavior. He put the bugs in the 20 centimeter- high box and closed the top of the box. Bugs were in the box day by day. As the bugs jumped, their head crashed the box roof. The felt sick and then, they jumped not higher than 20 centimeter so their head would not crash the roof. They did it day bay day and it became their habit. One day, the professor open the roof but what did the professor see? The bugs still jumped not higher than 20 centimeter even if there was no roof.

Many times we also did what the bugs did. We tended not to jump higher because we think that our head would hit the roof and feel sick. Sometimes, when we are trying hard to achieve our goal, our friends and beloved ones say to us not to go on because they love us – they are afraid if we got sick when we hit the roof. We thought that we could not jump higher. Perhaps, many people around us tell to us that we cannot achieve the goal we have set Unfortunately, we just believe that we cannot. Many times, we confirm the negative affirmation about us without realizing that we should make positive affirmation and do the change to jump higher.

However, there is no roof. Our minds set the roof, and set the limit. Make decision to jump higher, don’t be trapped like bugs in the box – you can jump higher and become the record breaker. Make decision and just do it.

Stop Worrying! Happy New Year 2007

"Worry is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do but doesn't get you anywhere".



Worries are frequently possesed by many people, business failure worry, loss worry, money worry, loneliness worry, unemployment worry, and so many other worries.

It doesn't mean that worries are illegal. However, we should be able to manage appropriate proportion for this matter. We should be able to differentiate between carefullness and fear because fear does not produce anything.

For many years, we have worried and during those years we were far from our goal and dream.

"What happens is what we think or what we think is what will happen" Our energy follows the mind.

Worries produce passiveness, hoplessness,and confussion-- no action.

In other words, worries 'kill' us, kill our creativity and kill our action. It can make us apathetic and it's dangerous.

We should decide two things for worries : Stop and Forget it! Decide now!

Many people make nothing because of over-worrying. In fact, if we analyse almost all action, there is nothing without risk in this life. Even if we choose not to do anything, it also has risk.

If we feel wory, try to think the best solution to overcome the worry.

It's better than just sitting on 'rocking chair' and rocking the chair without any direction and destination.

Do your very best to overcome worries and fear, and go thru positive thingking.

And, every day ... every time.. and every action will be done comfortably, and when we feel comfortable, many things inspire us to result our "works"!

It's better, isn't it?

MENJADI CANGKIR YANG KOSONG DEMI PERUBAHAN YANG LEBIH BAIK

Mungkin anda pernah membaca kisah ini tetapi di sini saya ceritakan kembali dengan sedikit sentuhan yang agak modern. Mungkin beberapa dari anda masih ingat soundtrack iklan Nescafe yang berjudul “Open Up” yang dinyanyikan oleh Shunza.

Pada suatu hari seorang professor bertamu untuk menemui Sang Guru. Sang Profesor begitu penasaran terhadap Sang Guru. Ia telah banyak mendengar dari orang-orang tentang kiat-kiat yang diberikan oleh Sang Guru. Sang Profesor memang telah belajar banyak hal selama hidupnya. Ia juga seorang yang ahli dalam profesinya. Tetapi atas saran sahabatnya ia menemui Sang Guru untuk belajar suatu hal yang merubah hidupnya.

Sore itu di ruang tamu, sambil diiringi lagu “Open Up” dan dua cangkir kopi serta satu teko di atas meja, Sang professor dan Sang Guru duduk berhadapan. Sang Profesor menyatakan maksud kedatangannya atas saran temannya. Sang Guru mengambil teko lalu menuangkan kopi pada cangkir kopi profesor yang masih penuh.

“Guru, kopinya kan masih penuh nanti airnya tumpah”
Sang Professor mengingatkan Sang Guru karena kopi di cangkirnya meluap tumpah ketika Sang Guru menuangkan air dari teko.
“Kalau begitu begitu kosongkan dulu gelasmu.” Sang Guru tersenyum.
“Professor, anda tidak dapat belajar apapun dari saya kalau anda tidak dapat mengosongkan cangkir dalam pikiran anda. Kalau anda mau belajar anda harus bebas dari prasangka dan membuka diri anda..”

Membuka diri, membuka pikiran dan membuka mata seperti yang dilantunkan oleh Shunza dalam soundtrack iklan Nescafe merupakan kunci untuk mengembangkan diri kita. Dengan membuka diri kita dapat lebih mampu mengerti apa yang kita pelajari. Membuka diri merupakan sikap reseptif terhadap perubahan dan pelajaran. Sebaliknya, prasangka buruk dan tidak mau mendengarkan serta mamahami hanya akan membutakan diri kita.

Tidak dapat dipungkiri bahwa belajar adalah proses seumur hidup. Dalam bekerja kita pun perlu membuka diri terhadap perubahan-perubahan. Dalam bekerja perlu yang namanya komitmen. Sayangnya tidak jarang kita menutup diri kita untuk tidak berkomitmen. Tertutup untuk belajar dan mencoba hal-hal baru , seperti tugas-tugas baru hanya akan membuat kita tertinggal. Lalu bagaimana kita harus bersikap bila kita mendapat tugas baru dalam pekerjaan kita? Jawabannya adalah bukalah hati, jadilah cangkir yang kosong dan mau belajar.

Mengapa iklan kopi Nescafe memilih soundtrack Open Up? Karena kopi merupakan teman saat ngobrol, minuman di saat kita saling membuka diri dengan rekan kita. Membuka diri juga bermanfaat ketika kita berada dalam teamwork. Kita membuka diri dan mau mendengarkan usulan rekan kerja, bawahan, bahkan kebijakan manjemen demi perubahan yang lebih baik. Dengan sikap ini kita akan lebih dinamis. Seorang pemimpin yang mau membuka hatinya memotivasi bawahannya untuk mengemukakan ide baru. Dalam hubungan dengan rekan kerja, kita berkembang karena kita terbuka terhadap kritik yang membangun. Sebagai bawahan pun kita akan lebih dapat menyesuaikan diri dengan kebijakan manajemen.

Ketika kita sedang dalam training atau belajar hal baru, merasa diri paling pintar tidaklah membantu, keterbukaan pikiran merupakan sikap yang tepat. Dalam belajar kita harus bersedia membuka hati kita untuk belajar dari orang lain. Pikiran kita pun menjadi lebih reseptif terhadap training yang diberikan.

Dengan menjadi cangkir yang kosong pikiran kita lebih terbuka dan wawasan pun menjadi lebih luas. Terbukalah! Karena ide bisa datang dari mana pun, dari kejadian-kejadian kecil dan dari siapa saja, bahkan bisa saja dari orang yang tidak kita kenal atau dari mereka yang tidak kita anggap penting Keterbukaan inilah yang dapat merangsang kreatifitas kita.[]
