How great leader inspire action
Good talk from Simon Sinek, he try to decode why some leaders are inspiring… could not agree more
Being Creative
I met @yoris few weeks back, he is the author of Creative junkies (Oh My Goodness), the book is in Bahasa Indonesia which I recommend to read. His experience in searching something new, will give us a perspective in how to be creative, and put into context some of the things that we already knew.
Being creative is not always finding something grand… like new alphabet, new source of energy etc. If you can, that’s great, but creativity is also about doing something differently, or probably doing it cheaper, faster, better.
According to @yoris which I agree, being creative is about habit or attitude, if we want to be creative junkies, start break your routine, challenge the status quo and think what we can do differently. “Think out of the box but execute inside the box” he said repeatedly.
I throw him a question: “What is your take to see that the creativity is easily copied especially in a country with very weak patent or copyright like Indonesia…? and they can add something else to make it even better” and he answered: “if we have creative attitude, we should not worry because we will always be the first and always make it better, others will have difficulties in catching up “. Do you agree…?
Being creative is quite easy dont you think?
There is no excuse not being creative or not innovate, as these guys demonstrated, the big hit songs only need four chord… yes it’s four chord only which are E,B,C#m,E or D,A,Bm,G. Just make it louder, whisper, longer, slower, higher pitch etc according to your wild imagination, a bit of sync, add some marketing activities, PR and if you are lucky it can be a hit…

Watch and Enjoy..
New Book for your Career
Writing a book is never been an easy task, it is quite different with writing a blog, it need to be more structured, hence when some one writing / launching a book I salute them.
Just out recently a book called “your Job is Not your career”, actually I would like to review the book and post it here, but I always unlucky, the book sold faster than peanuts. Just grab your copy when you see it.
I know the writer and I am one of the twitter follower, hence although I do not have the copy, I am sure it is about the passion and how to build your career around your passion. Something that I could not agree more. If you want to build your “I-brand” or or have “enjoyable career”, this book can be such a help or reminder.
If you want to follow, his twitter name is @renecc, and for @renecc, congratulation for your new book…
Berakit ke hulu berenang ketepian
Anda setuju kata pepatah “Bersakit sakit dahulu baru bersenang-senang kemudian”..? Kenapa harus bersakit sakit dahulu? Kenapa tidak bersenang senang sekarang dan kemudian.
Bersenang senang tidak harus bermalas-malasan, menikmati apa yang menjadi pekerjaan kita juga merupakan bentuk bersenang senang bukan? Bayangkan kalau anda bisa menikmati pekerjaan ada sekarang, disisi lain anda bisa mempersiapkan support untuk apa yang ingin kita lakukan di kemudian hari.
Life would be good isn’t it..?
If not an entrepreneur be an intrapreneur
I have been abandoning this blog for quite a while now due to my “busy-ness”and my personal mood. Luckily I have a good friend who remind me to take back what I like to do… So Thank you pal.. you know who you are… . Here goes my first post in this week.
If you like me who has many reasons not to be entrepreneur, yet we know that working as company drone is sucks, try this… be an intrapreneur… it means to be an entrepreneur inside the company. No it is not means to sell company data or to be double agent for a competitors. It simply means you treat your current job as one of your venture.
There are many benefits in doing this, one of them is : if you make wrong decision, it is not your money. You certainly will get scold, your manger will grind you to the max, or you demote or worst you get fired, but that’s it… all of them is worth the thing that you learn in that process.
But I can guarantee you, if you made the decision out of common sense and with a good will, there is a slim chance you make wrong decision, if you still do, chance that some one else will also make same mistake, you will be forgiven.
On the other side of the coin, if you make a good decision, you will also get the reward out of it.. like… “pat in the back…”, well money reward will also come if you are lucky or the office politics sway to your side .
The Intrapreneur mentality is very important for us to maintain our standing ground, because we do it for ourself, not for the company, the company benefit is the “by product” of our actions. Instead of we “being used” by the company, we are using the company as tool for our personal growth… and IT’S NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT..!
Agree or not, give your opinion in the comment section…
That’s it folks, as some one always said… Stay hungry, stay foolish
Why is it difficult to be happy
It is always fun to see a movie about someone who live life to the fullest, some one who knows what they want, do what they like and pursuing their passion. It is not always an easy life, but at least they enjoy it and in the end or overall, they have a happy life.
But why is it difficult to be happy..? Just watched the Three Idiots movie couple hours ago, although their jokes is not new they taught us why is it difficult to “live life to the fullest” and why it seems impossible to do what we really like or passionate about.
What moves you?
Ask any career or life coach about how to be successful or how to be happy in this life, their answer will be similar.
Do something that you are passionate about.
That answer mentioned many time over and almost become cliche. I will also answer the same if you ask me, but most of the time when I suggest that, I got replied… “But.. I do not have something I really passionate about” or “but I really like reading a novel how can it makes me successful in my career”.
Ok, let’s forget about the career or job or things that you do for someone else shall we..? Say this week is last week you are in this world, God kindly enough giving you fame and glory, as long as you do not break the ten commandment you are free to do anything you want in the next seven days… anything. What you are you going to do? Are you still doing nothing? Are you still reading a novel?
Now, If God kindly enough to give you (much-much) longer life, but not so much fame and glory, what are you going to do? Is your answer for above questions still hold? if yes.. congratulation you have found your vision. And to tell you the truth, actually, there is nothing wrong with doing nothing and reading novels if that is really what you want.
And if you ask me, here is what I want to do, traveling around the world see new places and greet the people living there… will talk more later and it going to be series of articles…
