TRANSMILE GROUP - A TYPICAL CASE OF NOT FOCUSING ON THE BIG PICTURE

Hi! Friend,


I recently attended the AGM of Transamile Group Berhad, held at The Saujana, on Apr 28, 2010 and like to share with you some of my findings.


There is no doubt that the Management has been working very hard to settle its huge overdue debts and other significant operational issues. However,  I noticed something amissed . They have missed out the BIG Picture of the turnaround plan and its future direction. To me, what the investors are interested to know is the big issue of turning around and the length of period they need to turn around, rather than what they  presented at the AGM. In my personal view, this is a common mistake made by lots of senior professionals who may be too overworked and overstressed.


As a result, I raised these issues to them in the hope that they will open their mindsets and look at more options in order to turn this company, which has certain niche market, around. No doubt, it is a difficult task, but not impossible. They need to have more confidence and stronger faith or at least give my views some consideration, so as to turn the company around and to keep its current staff force.


To my disappointment  my view was not given due consideration and they chose to bull dozed their plan ahead. This does not seemed to be fair to the minority investors because the management may not have explored all the options before arriving to such a conclusion.


In this connection, I also urged them to refocus their attention on these Big and Urgent issues, but in vain. I did not walked out in protest, but listened to their presentation till the end. The key performance indicators such as revenue per nautical km travel, cost per nautical km travel, load capacity and average utilisation hours of each type of aircraft were not available. Reason given by the COO were they were confidential. These key indicators are usually made available in the annual reports of other airlines.


I approached the COO after the AGM  and had a short chat before exchanging business cards with the CEO and CFO. Thereafter, they excused themselves for the press conference.


Consequently,  I contacted the COO and CEO the day after the AGM with the hope of offering them my experience and skill. I am willing to work with them to explore more options to turn around this company, which I believe there is a possibility and not as what they claimed. My intention of offering such help is to keep the company afloat so as to lift up their staff specially and their families members, as the name suggested in this blog.


Secondly, this is another typical case of fixed mindsets, where people refused to explore other possible options before coming to such a conclusion as the above. As such, I published this event in the hope that the management can give it a second thought.

ANOTHER MENTOR OF MINE

Hi! Everyone,
I write to share with you some tremendous great moments I experienced while I was attending this 18th National Achievers Congress 2010 at Sunway Pyramid Convention Centre, from Apr 23 to 25, 2010.  

What I can say is that I have enjoyed every speech from all these world class renowned speakers that was lined up by Richard Tan and his team from the Success Resources Sdn. Bhd. He is really bringing us World Class Knowledge into three days event, packed with several world class renowned speakers, who came from all over the world. They not only shared their success stories, but also showed passion in coaching whoever who have the need, so as to bring the world to greater heights of success. 

Here, I write to record my sincere thanks to all of them who have made this event successful. Their generous support has made this educational journey not only enriching, but was also full of excitement and enjoyment.

Their gestures and attitudes were so appealing that I decided to step up and signed up for one of the coaching courses that have been lined up for us. The reason I record it this is to reaffirm that result needs action. Action needs energy. So, use your energy appropriately and you will reap its reward. 

In this connection, I write to tell you the good news that there are lots of people out there who always wish to extend their hands to help. So, just step up and seek help if you require help. Today, we are living in the world which is so inter-dependent on each other. There is always a great tendency that someone needs your help and you need others as well especially during our walk of lives. 

One thing I was so fascinated about is the book, Put More Cash in Your Pocket, by this great author -Miss Loral Langemeier. The title caught my immediate attention and I could imagine how wonderful life will be if I could put more cash in my pocket, exactly the way she had demonstrated to us. In the split of a second, I told myself that I must sign up for the course. Thereafter, the message became clearer and clearer as I vet through her book. My inner voice tells me that I can do it as well and urge me to journal it in my blog. Please take a bold action to step up and grasp the opportunity as it arises. You will stay status quo if you ignore or procrastinate about it. So, always stay alert and look for the opportunity, regardless of the state of the economy you are in now.  

One thing I write to share with you is that I couldn't be what I am today if I had not been influenced and impacted by others, especially those great heroes, authors and friends who have given numerous support and courage. One of the common goal what I learn from all these great speakers is that they have the passion to give back their skills, knowledge and experiences to the world they have been benefiting from.

Append below are some photos taken, by some of my new friends I met at the congress and my new mentor. She even autographed some books for the course.












Profile:

Loral Langemeier is one of today’s most dynamic and pioneering financial strategies. A New York Times best-selling author and a leading motivational speaker, Loral has spurred thousands across the country from dazed apathy and fear of finance to millionaire status by giving them the simple tools to launch innovative business that generate cash and build wealth.






For those who have signed for the above, please contact me so that we can cling together to walk through this journey if you wish to. Currently I have 4 members in my team.

Thanks for your time and wish you happy reading,

GREEN WAYS TO SAVE

Dear Loving Readers and Visitors,

Contrary to general misconception that you need to spend lots to go green, I am glad to say that you can even save more by going green. I am sure some of you may have heard the clarion calls of; "Global Warming", "Save the Planet", etc. I also must state that to make this "green movement" workable, it must be practical, and economically profitable for the average family. So, if you want to help the planet, you can advise your family and friends how to save money by going green. Below please find some of useful guides you may adopt:-

1.    3R - Reduce, Re-use and Recycle.

If your house is in desperate need of de-cluttering, clear it out by either donating or selling off the unnecessary items and make some money! So, go through your home, section by section if it is more practicable to you, and sort out items that need to go. Separate these items according to your plan, either to be sold or given to charity. By doing so, you not only clear more space for breathing, but also save the planet by letting other people reuse or recycle those items not useful to you.
If you have a habit of keeping all sorts of stuff in your car, then I have good news for you. The quickest option for you to earn extra money is getting up early at the weekend and head to a car boot sale. Alternatively, you may opt to sell on eBay, especially for those not keen on early mornings or facing the public. For larger items, you may specify that buyers collect them at the comfort of your own home. It is so convenient to turn those unwanted items into instant cash. What's more do you need?  You can do all these through a few clicks of button of your finger. 

For those serviceable items that aren't in good enough condition, you may either sell them or give to the charitable organisations.

2. Minimise Waste

This is another useful mean of saving the environment by reducing waste. Below are some suggestions which you may deploy to reduce waste:-

a) Make it a best practice to check your fridge and cupboards before going shopping. Make a list of what you need, this will not only prevent you from buying too much, but it also helps you to save time and cash. Through this sort of planning, you will save time to go shopping again for items you have missed out or spend time to sort them at a later stage.

b) Be inventive and innovative by using up what is in the fridge before it expires. Adopt first in first out and ensure that the earliest item must be at the top so that it is more convenient for others to remove them first.

c) Cook meals in bulk for both lunch and dinner. This is very common in oriental society, where they cook the dishes for both lunch and dinner.

d)  Put in a bag all your vegetable peelings, tea bags, egg shells, egg boxes, toilet roll tubes, banana peel and coffee grounds -- and the compost can be used to fertilize the garden.

e) Invest and keep a compost bin in your house. This  not only allows you to compost your grass clippings and leaves, but at the same time, you can also put in all of your vegetable peelings, tea bags, egg shells, egg boxes, toilet roll tubes, banana peel and coffee grounds to be used as fertilizer in your garden. You will discover that you are able to recover your investment cost on compost bin through saving on your fertilizer cost. 

3. Generate your own Energy

Renewable energy means energy generated from natural sources such as the wind, turbines, the sun, or sea. In tropical areas, we are generally taking advantage of this renewable energy. One good example is letting our washing dry in the sun, rather than in the tumble dryer. Solar panels are commonly used as well.

I have heard rumours that devices such as wind turbines could be viewed as home improvements that increase the value of your home. However, council tax bills increase unfairly as a result, thus making this alternative no longer attractive.

4. Public Transport or Car pooling

Using public transportation is another significant means of saving the environment if it is practicable for you to do so. Alternatively, you may opt for car pooling so as to reduce the traffic and saving the environment. 

So, what are waiting for, try out a few of these tips now and see how much you can save? Please put forward through comments should you have any more ideas. Thank you in advance for your kind participation.

AMAZING AND UNIQUE BRIDGE 9

Hi! Folks,
This is another unique and amazing bridge, which I like to share with you, despite what I told you in my last post last year. 
The bridge is huge and I am not kidding either. It is located in China’s Hubei province and dubbed “Siduhe Grand Bridge“, this gargantuan suspension bridge (once completed) will smash the current record for highest deck-to-ground distance held by the Royal Gorge Bridge in Colorado (1, 053ft) and could fit the Empire State Building underneath it and still have 360 feet to spare - yikes! But there’s more…
So you’ve erected the enormous towers on each side of the deep valley, deeper than any valley previously bridged. How do you get a pilot cable from one tower to the next? Previous solutions have included: attaching the cable to a kite and flying it over (e.g. Niagara Falls suspension bridge), carrying one end by helicopter (e.g. Akashi Kaikyo bridge) and floating one end on a boat (e.g. Brooklyn Bridge). The brains behind the Siduhe Bridge decided to ignore all those options and break another record instead. They attached the 3,200ft cables to rockets and accurately fired them over the valley, becoming the first people to do so.
So, it tells us to be more innovative and creative to venture into new methods so as to have breakthrough record. Remember that there are always more than one path to success. Be brave and have a mission to set a new record and not indulge into unnecessary worry as the builder who constructs the above bridge. To create a remarkable new record, you must able to face the odds and take up the challenge to step into the uncharted zones. This is exactly like today's world we are living, where people are pushed to create precedents out of the uncharted zones. So, as the time is getting tougher, the tough gets going. Keep moving and you are rest assured that the reward is also equally high proportionate to its risk.

So, I hope you too enjoy its beauty and spirit as I did. Thanks and seeing you again. Wishing you success,

James Oh
 





History is made as the pilot cables are successfully fired across the valley.

HOW TO COPE WELL WITH JOB LOST

Happy day to you, 

                                   Please click at the title of this article to VIEW OUR ARTICLE AT HER WEBSITE, WHICH SHE HAS DONE FOR LIFT YOU UP SO AS WE CAN REACH OUT TO HER READERS, WHICH IS GREATLY APPRECIATED BY US. BIG THANKS TO YOU.


With American economy facing financial tumult, the rest of world are no exception to experience adverse impact one way or the other. As a result, it is normal for you or someone close to you to have lost their jobs and are having difficulties to overcome their emotional feelings. Even if you are not affected, it is no harm for you to be equip and prepare yourselves. Due to rapid changes in the market place, no one is able to predict the future with certainty.  

STAGES OF GRIEF

Losing a job can cause complications because it involves several stages of grief subsequent to that occurrence. We need time to heal especially for those who regard their careers as second to death. With this in mind, Elizabeth Kubler-Ross devised stages of grief as follows:

1. At denial stage, we tend to think that there must have been a mistake. It could not be happening to us. 

2. In anger stage, we insist it is not fair. After all, we viewed ourselves as good and necessary workers who do not deserve this treatment. Why me will arise in the individual mindset? We tend to compare with others and conclude that other co-workers deserve to lose their jobs more than us. Such emotions will put us in the worst mood.

3. At bargaining stage, we try to get back in through the door in number of possible ways.

4. If you are not careful, depression might hit you. Sadness breeds sadness. Eventually, we see darkness everywhere. 

5. At Acceptance stage, we have processed adequately and we acknowledge that we should take care of what we are in control of and do the best we can.

Even though it is helpful to look at the above from five stages listed above, however, each individual may not necessarily go through from one to the next stage. Some might skip over one stage for a while and return back to an “earlier” stage at an even deeper level than before. In short, some might even go back and forth between the stages, deepening the process each time they return. Once, these stages are broken down, it can be used to help us have compassion for ourselves as we go through the difficulties. It tends to give a proven recipe to assist you to have a better understanding on how we are overcoming grief.


1. HAVE THE RIGHT PERSPECTIVE 

View it from a wider perspective and accept the fact that you are not alone. Take it as a challenge rather than a mis-fortune. Remember the saying "No pain, no gain." Turn it to an opportunity so that you can use this to help others become wiser, stronger, smarter and more humble. Trust me, the reward is far beyond its costs.


2. BE FAIR TO YOURSELF

Naturally, the very first thought that strike our mind when facing job loss is the loss of income. Worse still, if we are the  sole bread winner with dependents, this can be seriously frightening, devastating, and shameful loss. This is because many of us judge our competency and value by our work life.

3. LOSING MORE THAN YOUR JOB

There are adverse social implications during grieving. How will others look and feel about us especially we are no longer having our jobs. Will we lose touch with them? This will one way or the other lead us to wonder about our future work life. Will we fit in anyplace else?

4. FEAR OF SURVIVAL

If left unchecked, we will have the fear of survival along with these unhealthy thoughts. This will often lead to questions of your capability and competency. Depending on individual background and experience, certain old bondage return to be confronted and many self-worth questions will come to the forefront. This is a good time to get some support from a professional psychotherapist to help ease the sting and removed these wounds. View this as an opportunity to heal some of our old wounds once and for all. It will only set you free. It is also wise for you to take advantage of the support groups, available at your community.

5. TURN IT INTO AN OPPORTUNITY 

The good news is that once you have overcome this initial fear, you will find that the job loss is an opportunity for growing into something that suits you better. This in turn help you feel more stronger and successful in your life. Therefore, be kind to yourselves by eating and sleeping well, exercising, journaling and taking time to refresh yourselves to reflect on your various highly charged thoughts and feelings. If you have given time for yourself, you could have chance to look more closely at what is important to you. So, take your life as it comes and make the best with what you have. This is my sincere desire for all of you. In this instance, you may learn from the book author - Miss Lilou Mace - "I LOST MY JOB AND I LIKED IT".


6. LOOK AND MOVE FORWARD RATHER THAN HARP ON THE PAST

Never let the past hold you back, so look and move forward. That is life. This serve as my golden rule and hope you can use it for your benefit. Thanks and look forward to hearing from you,

Wishing you a great success,

James Oh

HOW TO HANDLE OBJECTIONS EFFECTIVELY

Hi! Everyone,



In life, we can never avoid facing all sorts of objections, be it a personal relationship, business, proposal, etc. What is more important to us now is to learn how to handle these objections well. For those who want to acquire this skill, I am sure it will create some excitement for you. If so, I write to congratulate you because I know you are trying to do a great favour for yourself. However, I can say that this is only first step to overcome them. You also need to put it into practice till you perfect it. Practice, practice and practice, the 3 Ps are the keys to master this skill.

Now sit back, read the following recommended tips and apply them to your daily life whenever you have the opportunity to do so. You have to practice until you perfect it should you want to do something great for yourself. Otherwise, you can stop reading this article. Hope you are not being offended. I am just stating the truth.

1. Choose to agree with their objections

It may sound odd to some of you. It is not an easy task especially when you are not happy with the objections. Pause for a while, think rationally what will happen if you choose otherwise. The chances that you destroy the rapport with your opponent are rather high. Ask yourself again why your opponent raise the objection in the first place. To me, he is just want to either protect himself from making a similar mistake or he just wanted to be heard.

Once, you see this distinction, it is much easier for you to say that you absolutely have the same concern as he did. So, you completely understand why he said all this.

Can you see the difference now? are you able to accept this rationale. If yes, practice it till it become part of you.

2. Listen to the objection attentively

Whatever negative objections said, listen to them attentively till they have finished. This is vitally important especially when your opponent is in angry mood or raised his voice to make himself heard. People are shouting because they want someone to listen to them. Simple. So, do them a favour by offering your ear should you want to be a winner at the end of the day.

I assured you that if you listen to them attentively, they will start to run out of stream. Best still, if you keep agreeing with them, the chances that they begin to trust you are much higher. Slowly and surely they will disclose the real reason behind their objection to you finally. Once, you can overcome this barrier, they will listen to you. This is part of the process. 

3. Understand where the objection came from

Always try to understand which direction the objection was coming from. It is of paramount importance for you to do so, so that you are able to see their concern first, follow by the act of listening to them fully. This will then assist you to raise appropriate question for clarification. Through these simple 3 steps, you are not only able to understand fully where the objection came from, but also the real reason behind their objections. Take up this challenge by giving yourself  a chance to work on it. Once you overcome it, you will understand the true picture completely by asking them material and significant question. Try it out and I assure you that you will enjoy doing it.

4. Clarify an objection completely

Before you respond to any objection, you need to clarify an objection fully and completely. This means that you need to be sure and understand fully what they mean, even if you have to repeat their phrases, do so by all means. Similarly, they need you to fully understand them before you can ask them more question relevant to their objection. Once, you break through this barrier, you will then be able to offer a solution which truly bring them benefits as the way they see them. Once they see these benefits, I won't see any reason why they don't take up the solution you offered to them.

The more you put them into practice, the better you will be. Once you have master this skill, you will able to predict what objections to be expected and how to overcome every one of them with full confidence and certainty. 

So, dance with the wave of your live today and enjoy every wave of your dances. Seeing you again,

HOW TO REMOVE NEGATIVE ATTITUDE









Dear valued Readers and Visitors,
Almost everyone, if not all, want to keep themselves in high spirits. However, the reality is that life has its' ups and downs. To some people, to be in high spirit is a myth. But, I believe it is still possible, although I   have to work very hard to achieve it. I am also fully aware that achieving high spirits is much easier than maintaining it at all times.

Whatever it is, we are at times swayed  by our emotion and circumstances that happened to us, be it personal problems such as difficulties at work or health problems. 

Let us stay focus on those controllable factors and we must regard this adversity as temporary. We must not allow it to stay too long and control you at the end of the day. One way is to find ways to deal with it soonest possible so as to restore back your life to be pleasant for yourself and those around you. Here, you are reminded that you are the one who can bring this healthy change that you require, no one else. Third party cannot crawl into your mind to convince and commit you to take the appropriate remedial action.

Another major cause for this negativity is when you are having inadequate financial means to meet your ends. This may cause you to think or worry excessively. You might either give up or conclude that you will not succeed either way. Hence, you end up in a hopeless state instead.

People may feel frustrated and resentful against their employers especially when they did not receive salary increment after working for years. Thus, they may feel quite indifferent and negative about their job especially when they do not expect things to get any better. They will then just hang on to their present jobs and release their frustration whenever they have opportunities to do so. 

Health issues can be major contributors that cause a person to feel very negative towards life, especially if the illness is prolong or not treated much earlier. Alternative therapies are very useful in dealing with stress and related problems. Simple changes in diet and lifestyle may turn a negative mindset into a more positive one. Meditation, Yoga and Pilates are some health promoting practices and together with counseling will assist you to cope well with life. Most modern workplaces also offer such help and advice to their employees who have stress related problems. Please do not hesitate to ask for help if it is available for you to do so.

Unhappiness with your beauty may also cause negative attitude, if left unchecked. Taking positive steps such as eating healthily will put you in a better state of mind or mental attitude. Cut the junk out from your life and introduce some form of exercise like walking or yoga in your daily routines. 


Other useful ways are to get rid of clutter in your home and to clarify your thinking patterns. Take up a hobby, join a group and learn something new are great for building social skills and improving self confidence. The more you interact with like minded people, the more you can open up and sharpen each other. Keep yourself occupied with doing voluntary work, helping others will also make you forget your own problems as you begin to focus on other people.

Above all, count your blessings every day. There is always something in our lives to be thankful for. You are best assured to feel positive and more fruitful. Give it a try and let us know the outcome. 

Thank you in advance and look forward to hearing your feedback.

HOW CAN I GO GREEN







Hi! Everyone,
I must give this credit to my environmental buddy, Miss Shane, who has driven me to write this article so as give her the support and make her dream comes true.

Now, let us acknowledge the fact of dwindling natural resources and man-made damage to the environment, today, more and more people have recognized the importance of reducing the environmental impact. However, to make it a sustainable practice, many people do not have clues where to begin. Therefore, listed below, are some proposed actionable steps that may be taken to reduce impact on the environment.

1. Make it a point to set realistic goals and make small changes over time

Building a sustainable practice requires us to embed it into our habit. Therefore, we can't deny that setting realistic sustainable goals and benchmarks is the key to success. So, replacing your household's energy use to solar power is a wise move. You can start to reduce your household's energy consumption by changing simple daily behaviors such as turning out the lights when not in use. All these small positive changes have great long-term impact on the environment. This is not rocket science, but numbers game. Imagine the world population of more than 6.0 billion people, each making the small changes.  

2.    Make sustainable practice a core part of your vision and values

Changing our practices and behaviors to become more environmentally responsible require a commitment and conviction of our hearts. Therefore, sustainability must be a core part of our vision and values. Thus, this requires integrating sustainable goals and practices into our overall strategy and committing to actual change. It is important to carry out the plan so as to materialise the plan.

3.    Actively participate in these noble activities that bring awareness to the mass population

Since scientific evidence is now overwhelming: climate change is a serious global threat, and it demands urgent and collective response. Therefore, it is time for us to show our undivided commitment to environmental responsibility by actively participating in these events and causes. You may choose to volunteer in the community or make donations to charity or a cause, so as to make it happen. Everyone 's effort, money and time is very important to these noble activities.  

4.    Modify your purchasing decisions

Reducing the environmental impact may require us to modify our purchasing decisions to be more responsible. For instance, consider replacing your dry cell supplies with rechargeable batteries or purchasing clothes that do not need to be dry cleaned. The latter cuts down on toxic chemical uses as dry cleaning uses organic solvent rather water and these organic solvent known as perc, is classified as a hazardous air contaminant by the United States Environment Protection Agency.

5.    Share your environmental accomplishments with your circle of influence, both online and offline

Sharing the good news about how you make a positive difference in the environment will improve public perception of you. Don’t keep your environmental accomplishments a secret. Share the news with the public whenever there is an opportunity for you to do so. This is because we have reached a level that is too late to prevent the climate change that have been taking place. However, it is still possible to protect the earth, as a  whole, from its impacts to some extent.

6.    Changing our lifestyle to a more healthy one

These can be done through numerous means. For instance by cutting meat intake. Studies have shown producing 2.2 pounds of meats causes the emission of 80 pounds of carbon dioxide, Pachauri told a press conference. Next, you can also change your way of travelling to walking and biking, if practicable. These mean more savings and better health. As we always say, prevention is better than cure.

7.    Lobbying local governments to increase environmental activities

You may lobby your local government to increase spending on sidewalks and bikes lane, providing better facilities for walkers and bikers. With such little costs, these improvements can pay huge dividends in bettering your health and reducing traffic in the long term.  

The above discussion has clearly illustrated that little changes you and I make will make a huge difference to the environment both short and long term. So what are we waiting for? After all, you have nothing to lose, but lots to gain. Let us unite and act now so as to leave behind a good legacy for the coming generations.

I beg you to work with us. Thank you in advance for your kind co-operation.
