A new day has...come


I was waiting for so long
For a miracle to come
Everyone told me to be strong
Hold on and don't shed a tear


Through the darkness and good times
I knew I'd make it through
And the world thought I had it all
But I was waiting for you


Hush, love


I see a light in the sky
Oh, it's almost blinding me
I can't believe
I've been touched by an angel with love
Let the rain come down and wash away my tears
Let it fill my soul and drown my fears
Let it shatter the walls for a new, new sun
A new day has...come


Where it was dark now there's light
Where there was pain now there's joy
Where there was weakness, I found my strength
All in the eyes of a boy


Hush, love


I see a light in the sky
Oh, it's almost blinding me
I can't believe
I've been touched by an angel with love
Let the rain come down and wash away my tears
Let it fill my soul and drown my fears
Let it shatter the walls for a new, new sun
A new day has...come


A new day has...come
Ohhh, a light... OOh

PETIKAN : 'Nota Hati Seorang Lelaki' ( Pahrol Mohd Juoi )

Inilah cerita benar. Cerita benar seorang penulis yang Berjaya. Beginilah
kisahnya...

Entahlah apa yang selalu bermain pada fikiran ayah. Apabila saya ingin
pulang kembali ke kota , dia kerap minta duit. Seakan-akan mendesak....

" Ada duit? Minta ayah sedikit.."

Saya masih ingat waktu itu kehidupan saya terlalu sukar. Untuk mendapat
seratus ringgit di dalam poket pada satu-satu masa pun payah. Kalau balik
kampung selalunya duit yang ada hanya cukup-cukup tambang. Mujurlah, isteri
dan anak-anak saya sudah faham. Alhamdulilah mereka 'sporting' dan tidak
banyak meragam.

"Emak, ayah asyik minta duit. Bukan tak mahu bagi, tapi saya memang tak ada
duit," Bisik saya kepada emak. Emak seperti biasa, berwajah selamba, sukar
ditembak reaksinya.

" Bagilah beberapa yang ada," cadang emak pendek.

"Takkan 5 ringgit?"

Emak mengganguk.

Saya rasa bersalah untuk memberi ayah wang sebanyak itu. Apalah yang boleh
dibeli dengan wang 5 ringgit....Tapi kerana tidak mahu menghampakan harapa
ayah dan ikutkan cadangan emak, saya gagahi juga memberinya.

Ayah selalunya tersenyum menerima pemberian saya. Tetapi yang mengejutkan
ialah apabila kami sekeluarga berada dalam perut bas dalam perjalanan pulang
ke kota . Di kocek anak saya sudah terselit wang sepuluh ringgit. Siapa yang
bagi kalau bukan ayah? 10 tolak 5, saya masih 'untung' 5 ringgit. Geli hati
mengenangkannya.

Begitulah selalunya tahun demi tahun. Apabila kami pulang ziarah ke kampung,
saya akan memberi pemintaan ayah. Kengkadang terlupa, tetapi ayah akan
selalu mengigatkan. Akhirnya, saya memang sediakan peruntukan khas untuk
diberikan kepada ayah setiap kali pulang kampung. Kedudukan ekonomi saya
yang masih goyah kekadang hanya mengizinkan wang dua ringgit untuk diberikan
kepada ayah. Ironinya, ayah tetap dengan pemintaannya dan tetap tersenyum
apabila menerima. Tidak kira berapa jumlahnya. Emak terus-terusan selamba.
Saya masih sukar menandingi ketajaman rasa seorang isteri (emak) dalam
memahami hati suaminya (ayah).

Begitupun setiap kali dalam perjalanan pulang, kocek anak saya akan jadi
sasaran. Kekadang itulah duit pelengkap membeli tiket pulang. Ayah akan
setiap memasukkan duit yang melebihi jumlah saya berikan kepadanya. Saya
tidak mengambil masa lama untuk memahami apa maksud tersirat disebalik
perlakuan ayah itu. Dia meminta wang pada saya bukan kerana 'tidak ada',
tetapi dia ada sesuatu yang lebih besar ingin dicapainya atau
disampaikannya.
Namun, secara bertahap-tahap buku tulisan saya semakin mendapat sambutan.
Bukan itu sahaja, perniagaan yang saya mulakan secara kecil-kecilan semakin
membesar. Kalau dulu kami pulang ke kampung dengan bas, tetapi selepas
beberapa tahun saya pulang dengan kereta milik sendiri. Saya masih ingat
komen ayah ketika saya pulang dengan kereta kecil Kancil milik kami sendiri.

"Nanti, besarlah kereta kamu ini...." ujur ayah senyum.

Apapun saya tetap memenuhi permintaan ayah setiap kali pulang ke kampung.
Wang saya dahulukan kepadanya. Dan ayah juga konsisten dengan sikapnya, ada
sahaja wang yang diselitkan dalam kocek anak saya.

" Eh tak payahlah ayah..." sekarang saya mula berani bersuara. Ekonomi
keluarga sudah agak stabil. Malu rasanya mengambil duit ayah walaupun
perantaraan pemberian datuk kepada cucunya. Saya tahu dan sedar, hakikatnya
ayah hendak memberi kepada saya sejak dulu, tetapi sengaja atau tidak ingin
saya merasa segan, duit diberi melalui anak.

"Kenapa, dah kaya?" usik ayah. Hendak tak hendak, duit dikocek anak tetap
diselitkannya. Cuma sekarang bezanya, duit itu tidak lagi 'dikebas' oleh
saya. Dan dalam hati, saya mula berasa senang kerana jumlah yang saya
berikan kepada ayah, kini sudah melebihi apa yang mampu diselitkan ke kocek
anak saya. Tidak semacam dulu lagi, duit pemberian ayah kepada anak saya
sentiasa melebihi duit pemberian saya kepadanya.

Masin sungguh mulut ayah. Tidak sampai tiga tahun, kami bertukar kereta!. Di
samping menulis, saya menjadi penerbit. Perniagaan semakin rancak. Oleh
sebab bilangan anak bertambah dan keperluan kerja yang meningkat saya sudah
membeli MPV utuk kegunaan harian. Anak-anak mula menjejak menara gading.
Kehidupan semakin laju dan aktiviti semakin rancak. Namun sibuk sekalipun
saya tetap pulang menziarahi ayah dan ibu. Anehnya ayah tetap memberi kepada
anak saya walaupun kini saya telah dikenali sebagai korporat yang berjaya.
Rupa-rupanya, ayah memberi bukan kerana kekurangan atau kelebihan kami,
tetapi dia MEMBERI KERANA ALLAH. Mencontohi Allah al-Wahhab itu!

Anda ingin tah apa pesan penulis itu kepada saya? Ya, mari kongsi bersama :

" Kini aku benar-benar faham bahawa ibu ayah yang tua bukan beban dalam
kehidupan di dunia, lebih-lebih lagi dalam kehidupan di akhirat. Mereka
bukan 'liabiliti' tetapi sebenarnya aset untuk kita (walaupun istilah itu
sebenarnya kurang atau tidak tepat kerana ibubapa bukan benda). Rugi betul
siapa yang mempunyai ibu bapa yang telah tua tetapi mengabaikannya.

"memberi kepada ibu bapa hakikatnya memberi kepada diri sendiri. Walaupun
itu bukan niat kita ketika memberi, tetapi percayalah rezeki berganda akan
pulang kepada kita semula.
DOA MEREKA MUSTAJAB. Harapan mereka kenyataan. Kasih mereka bekalan.
Benarlah sepertimana sabda Rasulullah s.a.w, keredhaan Allah terletak kepada keredhaan ibu bapa."

Baiklah, inilah sebenarnya rahsia 'perniagaan' yang jarang-jarang
diperkatakan oleh tokoh korporat. Juga tidak pernah ditulis dalam mana-mana
buku perniagaan. Masih punya ibubapa? MEMBERILAH KEPADA MEREKA. Tidak ada?
Tidak mengapa, memberilah kepada anak-anak anda. Tidak ada juga? Memberilah kepada sesiapa sahaja.
Kita sentiasa berfikir untuk memberi.
Memberi kepada orang lain bererti memberi kepada diri kita sendiri walaupun itu bukan maksud kita ketika mula memberi!

TIP KEMPISKAN PERUT BUNCIT

Di sini ada cara untuk mengatasi atau mengurangkannya. Tips berikut
sangat
sesuai bagi sesiapa yg merasakan dirinya boroi!

Minum Banyak Air

Jika perut penuh disebabkan oleh penyimpanan air, anda sebenarnya dapat
mengurangi masalah tersebut dengan minum air lebih banyak. Hal ini akan
mencairkan konsentrasi sodium/garam dalam tubuh sehingga meningkatkan
jumlah air yang dikeluarkan dari sistem tubuh. Minum lebih banyak air
juga
menjamin fungsi hempedu efektif untuk mengeluarkan bahan toksin. Jangan
kurangkan pengambilan air ketika berdiet, kerana banyak bahan yang sukar
dicernakan dan akan menyebabkan perut menggelembung.

Mengurang Pengambilan Garam

Jangan makan gelojoh, kerana ketika anda menelan terlalu cepat, udara
tertahan dalam usus dan membentuk gas yang dapat mengakibatkan
penggelembungan perut. Duduk ketika makan dan kunyah makan secara
perlahan-lahan. Makanan yang t ida k terkunyah menjadi bahagian-bahagian
kecil t ida k dapat dicerna dengan sempurna yang kemudian menghasilkan
banyak gas yang menimbulkan penggelembungan

Makan perlahan-lahan

Terlalu banyak garam dalam diet menambah lebih sodium terhadap cairan
tubuh
yang memperlambatkan mekanisme sehingga mendorong air keluar dari sel.
Akibatnya perut terasa penuh dan menggelembung.

Pengambilan Serat

Serat adalah elemen penting dalam diet, tetapi untuk mengimbangi
penyimpanan air yang menyebabkan penggelembungan, makanlah serat dalam
buah-buahan seperti epal dan pear yang memiliki banyak kandungan air.

Awasi Ubat-Ubatan

Perut yang mengembang adalah kesan sampingan dari pengambilan ubat.
Aspirin
kadang-kadang menyebabkan masalah perut yang mengakibatkan sembelit dan
penggelembungan, termasuk pil kontrasepsi.

Hindari Sembelit

Sembelit didefinisikan sebagai memiliki lebih sedikit dari tiga kali
buang
air besar dalam seminggu atau jika terlibat ketegangan. Akibatnya perut
terasa bertambah besar. Untuk merangsang isi perut, tingkatkan
pengambilan
serat dari buah-buahan dan sayuran, amalkan secara berterusan untuk
menghindari fermentasi dan pengeluaran gas yang berlebihan.

Bersenam

Olahraga atau bersenam akan membantu menggerakkan cairan dalam perut
yang
dapat menyebabkan perut besar dengan mendorongnya keluar dari jaringan
dan
masuk aliran darah di mana akan dikeluarkan sebagai peluh atau dibawa ke
hempedu untuk dikeluarkan sebagai urin. Senaman yang disarankan seperti
aerobik.

THE LEADER WHO HAD NO TITLE: The New Way to Win in Business - and in Life

The old way of leading is dead. Many of our best-known organizations have fallen and some of our most revered leaders have lost face. The global economy has now transformed and with all the new media ranging from Twitter to YouTube, everyone now can build a following. And lead their field.We have just entered what I call The Decade of Leadership. Leadership has become democratized. I'm not at all suggesting that we don't need titles and people at the top of organizations to set the vision, manage the team and take overall responsibility for the ship. What I am offering is that we now work and live in a world where leadership isn't just something executives do. It's something everyone needs to do - for their organizations to survive, in this period of dramatic change.
For the past 15 years, I've had a simple mission that has become my obsession: to help people in organizations lead without a title - and play at their best in all that they do. This mission has taken me into client companies like Nike, FedEx, GE, Panasonic and Unilever where I've not only helped their best people grow even better but learned what world-class teams and enterprises do to create wow. This mission has allowed me to serve as the private leadership advisor to many billionaires and celebrity entrepreneurs. And this calling has caused me to meet people from every walk of life in every industry and learn what keeps them from stepping up to their leadership best when that's exactly who they are built to be.
I've distilled everything I've learned into a step-by-step formula that I've shared in my new book "The Leader Who Had No Title: A Modern Fable on Real Success in Business and in Life" (Simon & Schuster). Here are 9 smart moves you can make today to start changing the game and creating exceptional results:

1. Remember that you need no title to be a leader. Leadership has less to do with the size of your title than the depth of your commitment. I've seen front-line employees, taxi drivers and carpet installers doing their work like Picasso painted. Leadership isn't really about authority. It's about a choice you can make to do your best work each and every day, regardless of where you are planted.
2. Shift from Victimhood to Leadership. No great career, business or life was ever created on a platform of excuses. Too many people play victim at work. They blame the boss or the economy or the competition or the weather for their less than mediocre results. Leaders Without A Title are different. They get that they have power. It may not be the power granted through a title like CEO or SVP. But they have power. And that's the power to see opportunity amid crises. That's the power to drive positive change. That's the power to encourage everyone on your team. And it's the power to step into the person you've always longed to be.
3. Innovate or Stagnate. To Lead Without A Title is to leave everything you touch better than you found it. Mediocrity happens when people refuse to change and improve all that they do. Look what happened to some of the big car companies because the slowed down their devotion to innovation. The competition ate them for breakfast. And put some out of business. The best leaders and the best enterprises have a hunger to improve. It's such a deep part of their culture they know of no other way to be. And that's the edge that makes them great.
4. Become a Value Creator versus a Clock Watcher. Success comes from the value you add rather than from the busyness you show. What's the point of being really busy around the wrong things? Leadership is a game of focus. Focusing on fewer but smarter activities, the ones that create real value for your teammates, customers and the world at large.
5. Put People First. "The business of business is people" said Southwest Airlines founder Herb Kelleher. We have a ton of technology yet less and less humanity. Yet let's remember that people do business with people they like, trust and respect. One of the clients we've done leadership development work with is RIM. Yes, they are a fast and innovative technology company. But they also get that excellent results come from people playing at excellence. So build your team. Meet your customers. Deepen human connections. Treat others with respect. And put people first.
6. Remember that Tough Times Build Strong Leaders. Look at any exceptional leader and you'll find that they stepped into their leadership best during a period of crises versus calmness. To Lead Without A Title is to hunt for opportunity amid every adversity. Every setback has the seeds of an opportunity. Companies like Apple, Google and Amazon were built because their people leveraged disruptive times into brilliant wins. And because their people refused to give up when faced with difficulty.
7. Go to Your Limits. The more you play out on the edges of your limits and take intelligent risks, the wider your limits will expand. The more you leave your comfort zone, the bigger your comfort zone will grow. Each day at work, do the things you know you must do but are scared to do. That's how you grow, build your leadership capability and access more of the leader within you. There's zero safety in staying within what i call "The Safe Harbor of The Known". That's just an illusion that bankrupts too many businesses and breaks too many human beings.
8. Lead Yourself First. "The Leader Who Had No Title" isn't just a book showing you how to create exceptional business success and win at work; it's also a handbook for personal leadership. Because how can you lead other people if you haven't first done what it takes to lead yourself? Get to know your values. Think through what you want your life to stand for. Become physically, mentally and emotionally strong. And have a remarkably good relationship with your family. What's the point of becoming super-successful yet being alone?
9. Give Back a Legacy. Success is good. Significance is even better. Sure profit and peer recognition and doing great work is mission-critical. But even more important than that is what you give - and all you leave behind. As I write in the book, "even the longest life is pretty short. And all that matters when you get to your last day is the difference you've made and the people you've helped." So as you Lead Without A Title and step into your leadership best, stay focused on adding value. And making an extraordinary contribution.
