Business vs Working doesn't matter. FOCUS!

About 2 days ago we got a party at my house, it's my grandma b'day. I was in a conversation with my cousin and we're talking about what he going to do after he graduated. He told me that he don't want to work, he said working won't get you anywhere. The starting salary here in Indonesia is indeed very low. It's only $85 /month. Well for him, maybe he could get $200-$250/month.

He told me that, with the $200 salary he couldn't even get a motorcycle, car and got get a house it would be impossible. He keep saying bad things about working bla bla bla, they don't get this, they don't get that, etc2. And I stop him there. I said, working is not that bad. So I tell him how some of my friends manage to get $2500-3500 a month working.

I didn't know if my story change his mind of not, but I do believe that a dog can never be a bird and a bird could never bark. You get "the idea" right? If you have a talent in medical, be a doctor, nurse, heart specialist. Don't try to be a dancer or a singer.

But hey, some of you might say that. I know some doctors who can dance and sing. Well yes, if you know the 80-20 principal then you must know that we must focus our 80 percent effort on that 20 percent skill we good at. Don't diversify your time and life just to be an average person. Be excellent in one small particular area, you'll be amazed how high you can go. Look at michael jackson, elvis presley, donald trump, bill gates all of these people have a specific skill that they developed and make them successful.

So never underestimate what you can do, do what you can, at your best, anywhere, with what you have, no matter the situation. I get the quote from Theodore R.

God Bless,

Opps...I forgot...

Have you ever been disappointed because your friend didn't keep his/her promise? I'm sure you have, so Do I. This morning I have an appointment with one of my friend. He told me that he will come to my house to show me the invitation card. Now it's 11 O'clock and still no sign of him.

My coffee it's getting cold, I didn't go to the office, I didn't repair my printer all...because of waiting for him. He never know that he caused all of these things.

So it's important to keep your promise no matter what, just do your best. If you think you can't do it, you shouldn't promise. Better for you to say "you can't" in the first place, rather than ruin your reputation right? And plus, you are wasting their time. =)

So next time you want to make a promise, please stop for a while and really check your schedule. Will you really do it?

Ciao =D
It's 11:15 now, and ..still... no sign of him..hahahaha =D
