7 KALIMAT YANG MENGHAMBAT KEMAJUAN DIRI

0 komentar

Saya Tidak Bisa

Penghambat utama dan paling sering terdengar adalah kalimat “Saya tidak bisa”. Sungguh aneh sebenarnya mengatakan kalimat ini. Memang dulu waktu masih kecil, apakah Anda bisa baca seperti saat ini membaca artikel ini? Tidak bukan? Tapi sekarang Anda bisa membaca. Artinya yang sekarang Anda tidak bisa, nanti akan bisa jika Anda mau belajar.
Tidak ada bayi lahir sebagai pebisnis hebat. Misalnya ada berita:
“Telah lahir seorang pebisnis hebat”
“Telah lahir seorang penjual ulung”
“Telah lahir seorang pembicara hebat”
Tidak ada saudara! Yang lahir itu dimana-mana juga seorang bayi, anak laki-laki atau perempuan. Bagaimana pun hebatnya seorang Ibnu Sina, Muhammad Al Fatih, dan siapa pun itu, tetap saja saat lahir tidak bisa apa-apa kecuali yang bisa dilakukan bayi pada umumnya.
Saat Anda mengatakan tidak bisa, percayalah semua orang juga pernah tidak bisa. Saya bisa menulis sekarang, karena sejak dulu saya berlatih menulis. Tapi waktu bayi saya tidak bisa menulis. Anda tidak bisa, karena memang belum berlajar dan berlatih. Jadi intinya Anda mau atau tidak? Itu saja!

Saya Lakukan Besok

Jika Bisa Sekarang, Kenapa Besok?

“Memang benar koq, saya tidak bisa melakukannya sekarang. Hari ini saya sibuk, jadi saya lakukan besok.”
OK, tidak masalah, jika memang benar-benar Anda sibuk hari ini sehingga tidak ada lagi yang bisa dilakukan. Namun yang akan menjadi penghambat adalah saat Anda sebenarnya bisa melakukan sekarang, kemudian Anda mengatakan akan melakukan besok. Siapa yang menjamin Anda bisa melakukan besok?
Bisa jadi besok pun Anda akan mengatakan “Saya akan lakukan besok”.
Lusa, Anda akan mengatakan yang sama. Dan seterusnya, sampai Anda tidak melakukan sama sekali.
Serius, jika Anda mau maju, Anda harus melakukan apa yang harus Anda lakukan itu sekarang. Saya tegaskan, SEKARANG! Ups, maaf teriak. Kenapa? Saking pentingnya melakukan sekarang. Jika Anda melakukan sekarang apa yang seharusnya Anda lakukan, Anda akan menciptakan momentum dan sangat berharga untuk keberhasilan Anda.

Jika Itu Benar-benar Penting, Kenapa Nunggu Besok?

Jika ada sebuah tindakan sangat penting yang akan mengubah hidup Anda menjadi lebih baik. Maka lakukan sekarang, jangan ditunda-tunda.
“Tapi bener koq, saya tidak bisa melakukannya sekarang. Saya banyak kesibukan yang lain.”
Itu artinya, Anda menganggp pekerjaan ini tidak penting sehingga harus dilakukan besok. Itu adalah keputusan Anda. Serius, Anda menganggap tidak penting. Yang sedang saya bicarakan adalah tindakan yang benar-benar penting untuk kemajuan Anda, harus dilakukan sekarang. Jika menurut Anda bisa dilakukan besok, artinya itu tidak penting. Itu saja!

Saya Belum Nyaman

Serius, saya kasih tahu rahasianya, bahwa orang-orang yang sukses adalah mereka mau melakukan sesuatu yang tidak nyaman. Jika tidak, mereka akan terus berada di zona nyaman. Saat anda mengatakan belum nyaman, tidak sreg, belum terbuka hati, dan kata-kata sejenisnya, artinya Anda masih betah di zona nyaman.
Serius, ini pengalaman pribadi saya. Saat saya hanya betah melakukan pekerjaan yang bisa dan biasa saja, saya tidak mengalami kemajuan yang berarti. Sekali saya mengubah, bahkan tidak nyaman sama sekali, maka kemajuan saya dapatkan. Begitu juga dengan Anda, cobalah berpikir untuk melakukan hal baru, selama itu untuk kemajuan Anda, meski pun itu tidak nyaman.
Sesuatu yang baru atau pertama kali dilakukan adalah tidak nyaman. Pada awalnya, berbicara di depan umum itu tidak nyaman. Gemetaran dan dag dig dug. Namun saya harus melakukan untuk kemajuan saya. Saya paksakan meski pun tidak nyaman.
Saya ingat saat berlatih public speaking. Saya masuk ke sebuah bus damri yang penuh, berisi mahasiswa, mahasiswi, dan penumpang lainnya, kemudian saya memberikan ceramah motivasi. Rasanya sangat tidak nyaman. Tapi setelah itu, berbicara di depan umum menjadi hal yang bisa dan nyaman-nyaman saja.
Rasa tidak nyaman hanya ada di awal, selanjutnya akan biasa. Menjual juga sama, sangat tidak nyaman. Namun jika sudah biasa, menjadi nyaman-nyaman saja.
Jadi jangan menunggu nyaman, Anda akan nyaman jika MAU melalui ketidaknyaman itu.

Saya Masih Bingung

Ini juga yang sering saya dengar dan baca: “Pak, sebenarnya saya mau bisnis … tapi masih bingung apa yang harus saya lakukan.”
Saya juga sama, saat saya memasuki dunia yang baru, bisnis yang baru, termasuk pekerjaan yang baru, pada awalnya saya bingung. Begitu juga saat bekerja, pada awalnya bingung. Saat Anda datang ke kantor pertama kali, kita tidak tahu apa yang akan dilakukan nanti di kantor. Kemudian atasan atau penyelia kita akan membimbing kita, dan kita akhirnya mengetahui apa yang akan kita ketahui.
Bagaimana dengan bisnis? Sama saja. Mungkin akan bingung di awal, namun mulailah berjalan, Anda pun akan menemukan jalan. Ilustrasi yang bagus adalah lampu mobil yang hanya bisa menerangi jalan beberapa meter saja, namun setelah berjalan bisa menerangi seluruh jalan, sampai ratusan kilometer sekali pun.
Silahkan baca pada artikel Anda Akan Menemukan Jalan Sukses

Saya Takut Kecewa

Jika Anda takut kecewa kemudian Anda tidak melakukan apa-apa, sebenarnya Anda sedang menanti kekecewaan yang lebih besar lagi dimasa mendatang. Saat Anda bertindak, mungkin berhasil, mungkin juga tidak. Namun jika Anda tidak bertindak, Anda pasti gagal. Saat Anda tidak bertindak, sebenarnya Anda SUDAH gagal. Lalu kenapa tidak kecewa? Karena Anda tidak menyikapinya sebagai kegagalan. Padahal, jelas-jelas kegagalan.
Artinya, kecewa atau tidak kecewa itu bukan karena gagal atau tidak gagal, tetapi bagaimana Anda menyikapinya. Padahal, jika kita kaji lebih jauh, justru kegagalan sebenarnya saat Anda menyerah, tidak bertindak. Saat Anda mencoba, Anda sebenarnya tidak akan pernah gagal. Silahkan baca pembahasannya di artikel Adakah Gagal Itu?

Sudah Terlambat

Tidak ada kata terlambat. Allah saja masih memberikan umur kepada kita. Allah masih memberikan kesempatan kepada kita. Kenapa kita berani-beraninya mengatakan sudah terlambat? Terlambat itu saat ajal menjemput namun kita belum bertaubat.
Untuk bisnis, untuk karir, dan untuk pengembangan diri, tidak ada kata terlambat. Jika kita mengatakan sudah terlambat, karena kita berpikir sempit. Bukalah mata, harapan itu masih ada sebagaimana saya bahas pada artikel Bukalah Mata, Hati, dan Pikiran Anda – Harapan Itu Masih Ada.

Saya Sudah Melakukan Yang Terbaik

Kata siapa sudah terbaik? Kata Anda sendiri?
Belum, kalau Anda mau belajar lagi metode-metode yang lebih baik. Kalau Anda mau berlatih sehingga keterampilan Anda meningkat. Maka Anda bisa melakukan yang lebih baik lagi.
Anda harus memberikan peluang pada diri Anda, bahwa Anda masih bisa melakukan yang lebih baik. Tahukah Anda, para juara dunia itu, apa pun bidangnya, mereka selalu berlatih untuk meningkatkan kemampuan? Sungguh aneh, juara dunia saja bukan tetapi mengatakan sudah melakukan yang terbaik.
Anda bisa mencapai penghasilan revolusioner jika Anda mau membuka diri, yaitu membuang anggapan bahwa Anda sudah melakukan yang terbaik. Silahkan baca selengkapnya pada ebook revolusi waktu.

Time is Running Out

0 komentar
      Many people live as if it’s a guarantee that they will still be breathing well into their 80′s and 90′s. Although the average life span suggests that most of us will have a relatively long life, nothing is guaranteed. The only thing we can know for sure is that we’re all running out of time. Every day that goes by is a day closer to the day we take our last breath.

      Whether you’ll last until your 90th birthday or not even get to experience the next calendar change, only time will tell. Many people reach the end of their life full of regret. Once they realize their time is coming to an end, they wish they had used their time better. Don’t wait for that day to come to realize your time here is limited. At the end of each day, ask yourself if it was a day well spent. If it wasn’t, make sure the next day WILL be.

      In the end, whether you’ll be full of regret or filled with satisfaction will all depend on the accumulation of how each of your remaining days will turn out. Good or bad, it’s mostly up to you.

The Story of the Butterfly

0 komentar
A man found a cocoon of a butterfly.
One day a small opening appeared.
He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours
as it struggled to squeeze its body through the tiny hole.
Then it stopped, as if it couldn’t go further.
Butterfly
So the man decided to help the butterfly.
He took a pair of scissors and
snipped off the remaining bits of cocoon.
The butterfly emerged easily but
it had a swollen body and shriveled wings.
The man continued to watch it,
expecting that any minute the wings would enlarge
and expand enough to support the body,
Neither happened!
In fact the butterfly spent the rest of its life
crawling around.
It was never able to fly.
What the man in his kindness
and haste did not understand:
The restricting cocoon and the struggle
required by the butterfly to get through the opening
was a way of forcing the fluid from the body
into the wings so that it would be ready
for flight once that was achieved.
Sometimes struggles are exactly
what we need in our lives.
Going through life with no obstacles would cripple us.
We will not be as strong as we could have been
and we would never fly.

10 Tips for Picking a Career Path in College

0 komentar
In the sage words of Yogi Berra, "if you don't know where you're going, you'll be lost when you get there." Picking a career path boils down to a cost benefit analysis and a gut check. It is a game of reality versus passion, and you can start blazing a meaningful path in college.
But hopefully you can appreciate that every career has an arc, and you are at the beginning of the curve. Don't be surprised if your career direction changes significantly a few times before and after you reach the peak.
With that message in mind, here are my 10 tips for picking a career path in college:
1. Don't let anyone crush your dreams. However, the riskier your dream, the better your backup plan must be.
2. There is a huge difference between a childhood dream and a dream job. If you dreamed of being a lawyer since the age of twelve, you better make sure you know exactly what attorneys do on a given twelve hour work day. Did You Know: In a survey of 800 attorneys, only 55 percent reported being satisfied with their career.
3. Make sure your dream job is not an avocation (a hobby). An avocation is a vacation from a vocation, because the pay ranges from little to nothing.
4. No matter what your part-time jobs or summer jobs are, always be thinking about how those experiences will enhance your resume and work skills.
5. The most important thing for deciding on a major or career path is to get out of the classroom and into an internship which exposes you to the day-to-day ups and downs of that profession. "Learning by doing" will give you a better appreciation of the job than learning through textbooks.
6. Do what you love but don't let your career choices jeopardize anyone you love. Including yourself. Translation: Take care of others but don't forget to take care of yourself, sometimes before others. Listen to our airline flight attendants: "Put your own oxygen mask on first before assisting others with their masks."
7. Determine whether you are driven to be your own boss or if you crave the stability of a steady paycheck. Assess your personality traits and the risks inherent with both paths. (e.g., the risk of putting up your own money as your own boss versus the risk of losing a job in a company you work for) Did You Know: The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics lists occupations with the largest job growth projected through the year 2018, starting with registered nurse.
8. Rather than casually asking career advice from parents or other relatives, set up a time to interview them, with prepared general and specific questions. This approach will make them think more thoughtfully about their responses, and may reveal their personal career challenges and triumphs.
9. Don't rely on luck or fate in your career. Professional success is about putting yourself in a position to create numerous opportunities.
10. Over the course of your lifetime, there may only be a handful of impactful career opportunities. Assemble an inner circle team of advisors now, so you'll be able to act quickly to objectively assess the pluses and minuses of future opportunities.
And finally, clean up your social media presence online! What's publicly available might not bode well for your future employment. Did You Know: In 2011, the Federal Trade Commission approved the practice of employers conducting social media background checks going back seven years for job applicants.
