My Articles About Self Empowerment

I'm interested in self-empowerment in life. I believe that many thing in our life is stated from something inside coz energy follows the mind. I have read some books such as The Secret, Alchemist, and Law of Attraction. They are really helpful.

In 2008, I start to write some articles related to self-empowerment in www.triond.com as follows:

Find Idea, Discover Treasures

Have you ever watched National Treasure: Books of Secret? The hero, Ben, said that what he needed to discover the treasure is “ Key Words”. You can see in the movie that one clue brings Ben to other clue.

To get the idea is like effort to discover the hidden treassure. One clue brings you to another; one key word may bring you to another key word and then you can get closer to heve idea.

It’s a kind of brain storming. Write down what ever comes to your mind related to something you want to discover. From your mind you can get some key words, you also need another references such as books, articles, the words you get from your experiences. Sometimes, ideas come to your mind when you are in chit-chat, taking a bath, riding motor cycle, so prepare small piece of paper to record them every time you get it.

Then, use that keywords, search any related information by using Google search engine at http://www.google.com or Yahoo at htttp://www.yahoo.com. You will get many readings, related to your intended theme/ topics. It's also point to ponder that organizations or people with certain characteristics/ interest/ belief, usually use certain keywords. For example, those who are interested in politics, usually use the work 'democracy'; those who are interested in religion use word “God¨; those who are interested in business, usually use the words: “passive income, investment.” From the readings related from your topic, you can get ideas, new keywords, and from new key word you can search in search engine the other related readings. It will enrich your idea.

You will get more and more information. The keywords will bring you to another keywords or clues, that can stimulate your mind to discover the idea.[]

The Way of Patience at Work and Ninja Spirit

Patience is heart of flower, let it grow at work to win with others.


Sometimes we hears 'I hate my work', 'My working situation is getting worse", "Everyone blame me and scold me and make me a loser". Another says, "I was patient and have tried to be patient, but I cannot resist anymore with work situation" of "my patience is limited, and I won't be patient anymore."

The word patience and bad working situation remind me about something interesting me when my brother in Indonesia learned shodo (Japanese Caligraphy). It was the character of "Nin". This character is also related to the word "Ninja", "Ninpo" and "Ninjutsu". Ninja were really not assassins sure they had to do that occassionally but a true ninja was and is a person of endurance and perserverence."The first priority of the ninja was and is to win without fighting", according to Essence of Ninjutsu By: Masaakai Hatsumi.

The Japanese "Nin" character represents the ancient martial art of Ninjutsu and it's higher form of Ninpo, the Arts of the Ninja. The "Nin" symbol translates into Endurance, Perserverence, Patience In many people's image, Ninja (person who masters art of preserverence, and patience) is hero. So, are preserverence and patience heroic acts? You can decide by yourself by considering role of patience and preserverence in peace, harmony, and achiving success. We should change our mindset, stating that patience and perserverence are actions of weak person. Instead, patience and perserverence were possed by the persons who knows 'The Secret'.


The Japanese character for Nin consists of two parts or radicals. The upper radical is called yaiba which refers to the cutting edge of a blade. The lower radical can be read either as kokoro or shin, both of which mean heart. One, who consider patience weakness, translates "Nin"as "heart stabbed by blade", meaning to say "he saves anger". Ancient saying says, "Patience, or preserverence (Nin) is not heart stabbed by blade, but it is heart of flower, instead" So, to manifest patience, we should develop heart of flower. We should choose to develop happiness, joy, and gratitude, instead of fighting against hate, stress, anger.

At work, sometimes, we work under pressure. Many things, we should finish. Some people ( customer or colleague or our boss) scold us. The bad situation at work that we feel make us difficult to take breath. Sometimes, it also happen in our relationship and social life. Then, we try to be patient, but we translate patience as "heart stabbed by blade" or we just let bad situation happen and save the anger and sadness in our mind. The situation can be worse, we can get into more stress because we attract worse situation, worse work climate, worse relationship. We try to fight againts jealousy, anger, sadness in our heart, but they grow bigger and bigger because we think about them. It is law of attraction, according to "The Secret" by Rhonda Byrne.

So what should we do, when in bad work situation? Remember 'Nin', 'the heart of flower', being patience means that you choose to feel joy and gratitude. Remember a happy moment, the beloved one who inspiring you, a momment when you are in love, a momment when achieving something. Visualize and imagine that you have achieved best situation (perhaps work performance achievement, happy momment, good relationship) and be grateful! Feel the joy, happiness, and grattitude and smile. Feel and the flower in your heart grow. That is patience. Spread it to all people.

The change within can attract better situation at work, in relationship, and in social life. You will be hero who posses way of patience and preserverence.

FIRST TIME IN PUBLIC SPEAKING

I remember how the first time I became an Emcee (MC = Master of Ceremony). Basically I was shy person, litle bit had low self confidence. However, I had experiences in public speaking, first, when I had presentation as students, but I was trembling during the presentation. When I presented my research in thesis exam, I did it better because preparation and affirmation plus vizualization technique before presentation. All of my friends laughed at my nervousness. Then, when I bacame a teacher, my audiences were my students. I was not nervous because I was their superior :-)

But, as an Emcee (MC = Master of ceremony), it's different.

After resigning as English teacher from school, I worked as translator and Training and Development Staff in an MLM/ Direct Selling company. Distributors were the greatest asset of MLM company and my team's and my job was to mantain good relationship with distributors in order to develop their network through functions, events, and training programs.

In the events, training, and functions, I did my job not as speaker nor MC, I became a technical staff, instead. Sometime, I became equipment and tools crew, building the stage and decoration, and loading event equipments. Sometime, I became a cameraman or photographer. I was not a man on the stage.

I was PIC in weekly events for distributors. It was attended by hundred distributors per meeting. The events were Orientation of Product Presentation and Quality Control Circle. In this two events, there was two staff in charge, my friends, as Music DJ, and me as technical staff, who prepared equipment, speakers and MC. The speakers and MC were from distributor leaders.

One day, the speakers came to the event but the MC, whom I had invited before,did not show up. Audiences were waiting and the event must go on. So, I had no choice. I should became an MC. I felt nervous, I got to restroom and did 'push up' exercise to make my body erect and I also did breathing exercise. I had ever did my job as cameraman and knew the theory in MC training, but it was the ferst time for action. I did vipashana, I listen to my heart beat, not try to fight my nervousness but to accept it with smile and fell the air flow of my breathing. And the show time, I got on the stage infront of hundred audiences, and I started emceeing.

That's the first time, I became an MC. Then, my department chose me to be an MC in biggest training event. Well, I feel the change within.

Javanese Aji Caka Script and Five Elements of Nature

Javanese alphabet by ancient mystical king, Aji Caka, consists 20 letters. In order, the letters was written in 4 lines by Aji Saka to commemorate his messengers.

Besides, they also have ancient teaching about human life.
Ha Na Ca Ra Ka means there were messengers. This line has philoshophical meaning that every human being is messenger of god. Every one has role for harmony when they were born.
In elemental nature philosophy, this line represents element of wind. Wind means direction to the goal. Everyone is created due to divine purpose.

Da ta sa wa la means the messengers met and discussion happened. This sentence mean that in our life we need to share and discuss. Our relationship is about networking with other.
This sentence represents element of water or flexibility. This element teach us to mantain harmonious relationship with others, that is why we need people skills for life. Flexibility and open mind are essential for learning.

Pa dha ja ya nya means both of messengers were fighting and both of them won. This sentence represents element of fire or desire or fighting spirit. In our life, we need to have fighting spirit to win. We should be enthusiasm in what we do.

Ma ga ba tha nga means both of messengers died. When we die, our body are burried and back to the earth. It represents element of earth.
It can allso mean 'memento mori'. We should remember that all human beings will die. In our life there is something to change, and there is something that we cannot change. We should have serenity in our action.

So, what is the fifth element in Javanese alphabet? The fifth element also represents fifth element of nature. The fifth element is not written because it is element of void or spirit, It is the divine mystery of god.

SALESMANSHIP - CELEBRATE OPENING A RELATIONSHIP

By Purnomosidhi

"Don't celebrate closing a sale, celebrate opening a relationship." -- Patricia Fripp, Keynote Speaker, Speech Coach, Sales Trainer, Author

Dedicate yourself to build and maintain high quality relationship with your prospect and customer. When closing a sale, perhaps, you just sell your product or service once. However, when building good relationship, you create more opportunity for the sales. Relationship is the key in salesmanship. Selling is recomending an idea, manifested in product or service. People won't accept your recomendation if there is a bar between you and them. People won't buy your product nor use your service if they do not like you. If you win their heart, you will get their attention and they will open to your recomended idea.


Relationship is an asset. Even if it is not in the form of money, it is moral investment. When you build relationship, you build opportunity.

Daniel Carnagie, in his book, "How to Win Friends and Influence People", writes that everyone has desire to be considered as important person. Your customer, your prospect, and you have this desire, too. So, you should build good ability to respond your customers and prospects, consider them important, and make them feel that they are considered important.






However, in sales there are going to be times when you can't make everyone happy. Don't expect to and you won't be disappointed. Just do your best for each client in each situation as it arises. Then, learn from each situation how to do it better the next time.

Learning to build relationship is essential in salesmanship. Some best sellers books, recomended for you to develop high quality relationship, are, among others,"How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Daniel Carnagie, "The Magic of Thinking Big", and "Personality Plus". You can also build your knowledge in salesmanship by reading articles written by Patricia Fripp, Keynote Speaker, Speech Coach, Sales Trainer, Author of www.fripp.com

RESPONDING, NOT REACTING TO LIFE

by Zig Ziglar

"You were born to win, but to be a winner you must plan to win, prepare to win, and expect to win." ? Zig Ziglar





When you respond to life, that's positive; when you react to life, that's negative. Example: You get sick and go to the doctor. Chances are good that after an examination, she would give you a prescription with instructions to return in several days.

If, when you walk back in the door, the doctor starts shaking her head and says, "It looks like your body is reacting to the medicine; we're going to have to change it," you probably would get a little nervous.

However, if the doctor smiles and says, "You're looking great! Your body is responding to the medication," you would feel relieved. Yes, responding to life is good...


A few years ago, there was much turmoil in the U.S. job market. People were losing their jobs through downsizing, mergers, and takeovers. This created some unusual opportunities for many people. For example, the Wall Street Journal reported that in a five-year period, more than 15 million new businesses were created, well over half of them by women. Very few of the women had any marketable skills, and all of them had great financial need.

Most of the new businesses were "trust" businesses, meaning that the women collected the money before they delivered the goods or services. Many, possibly most, of those new businesses would never have been started had not an unfortunate event occurred in the people's lives. When those events did occur, and needs became obvious, the women chose to respond, and there is little doubt that many of them are better off now than they were before...

The message is clear: If you respond to life instead of react to it, then you've got a much better chance of achieving success
