Lord, please guide my way....

heart vs head

do your heart synchronize with your head?

or

do your head synchronize with your heart?

I prefer to be under the 1st term then..................for myself, i can manage to control my heart. but still it is quite rebellious. that's must be how it feels to fight against yourself. it takes time, guts, notes {to keep reminding yourself} and faith. and prayers.

the writer of the book about starbucks management 'It's not just about coffee' write:

manage yourself with your head, and manage others with your heart.

i guest he is trying to say: be rationale to yourself and be sensitive towards others.

similarity traits

have you ever meet somebody that makes you feel deja vu or makes you think of some old friend, who you met long time ago, or stay somewhere far.

somehow this person have similar thought or character to your old friend. funny isn't it? that even separated by distant, grow in different family and community, eat different food everyday, but can produce such similarity.

sure thing, this similarity-feel can make you get close to this person faster than you thought. warmer, easier to click, whatever you call it. but be careful, your preference doesn't necessary can be apply to the new one. i mean like, don't stereotype it. let's say the similarity you found remind you of some good friend, then it's great. but what if it's not? what if this new person you meet reminds you of the person that annoyed you the most, your past experiences can be references, but please don't start to hate her/him because of other's fault.

anyway, i come to think of this because i found a friend that keep reminding me of my dad. it's just funny-surprising though... sometimes things that he says, his certain thoughts or idea of things somehow similar to my dad. considering they grow up in different place, different time, sees different things, past different experiences, but can result in some similarity at parts.

there's others too, that sometimes feels like dad. or feels like mom. i had meet some along the way ^^

God's wonder? perhaps :) {hey! will that means that somewhere in this world there is a person that similar to me too?}

Today's wisdom words

short wise words for today, from Why we want you to be rich by Robert Kiyosaki and Donald Trump.

" today i realize what i want is life is up to me. There's is no one in my way. If i want something, that desire is not enough.I need to do what it takes to be a winner before i can win." Robert Kiyosaki

"if winning wasn't important, people won't keep score."

"Repetition is the king"

It's not about the coffee

last weekend i went to Batu Pahat with kaemin {yah photos! will upload it later :p}

and from this trip i pick up one thing, one advice from her

"never settle down for the second best"

(which should be applied to everything, from clothes, shoes, to choices about jobs and partner)

today i read IT'S NOT ABOUT THE COFFEE, talking about the point success of starbucks.

i didn't read it all, but i picked up something too.

there's a chapter about thinking independently. from there what i get is that, to be successful, it's not the matter of-following-every-steps-you-are-being-told-to-do, but about setting up a goal, and by keep staring at it, you will figure out the best steps to get it done rather than just follow 1-2-3 without thinking much.

to me it sounds like throwing a ball a head, asking youself to run foward and catch it. it's the matter of which direction you want to throw your ball to. how you going to reach it is another problem. run, walk, use bicycle, or by car, it is all about creativity.

as long as we had the direction, we will never get lost. we will be alright.

previously i think that a company is much more like teamwork. no matter how great the leader is, it is still one person action. if those she/he lead can't follow the leadership, it's a sinking ship.

but from this book, i realize that for international scale business, it needs great leadership and management team. leader who needs to run miles a head before others and set up a flag for the followers to reach to. {as in, set up the vision and direction for others}

management team creates the system, set of system to make sure every branches will deliver same quality.

Ok, i think i have bubbled enough. So, i need to empowered myself with ability to see prospect and envision a better future. oh..
