Coca Cola




Ada 3 kaleng coca cola, ketiga kaleng tersebut diproduksi di pabrik yang sama. Ketika tiba harinya, sebuah truk datang ke pabrik, mengangkut kaleng-kaleng coca cola dan menuju ke tempat yang berbeda untuk pendistribusian.

Pemberhentian pertama adalah supermaket lokal. Kaleng coca cola pertama di turunkan disini. Kaleng itu dipajang di rak bersama dengan kaleng coca cola lainnya dan diberi harga Rp. 4.000.

Pemberhentian kedua adalah pusat perbelanjaan besar. Di sana , kaleng kedua diturunkan. Kaleng tersebut ditempatkan di dalam kulkas supaya dingin dan dijual dengan harga Rp. 7.500.

Pemberhentian terakhir adalah hotel bintang 5 yang sangat mewah. Kaleng coca cola ketiga diturunkan di sana . Kaleng ini tidak ditempatkan di rak atau di dalam kulkas. Kaleng ini hanya akan dikeluarkan jika ada pesanan dari pelanggan. Dan ketika ada yang pesan, kaleng ini dikeluarkan besama dengan gelas kristal berisi batu es. Semua disajikan di atas baki dan pelayan hotel akan membuka kaleng coca cola itu, menuangkannya ke dalam gelas dan dengan sopan menyajikannya ke pelanggan. Harganya Rp. 60.000.


Sekarang, pertanyaannya adalah : Mengapa ketiga kaleng coca cola tersebut memiliki harga yang berbeda padahal diproduksi dari pabrik yang sama, diantar dengan truk yang sama dan bahkan mereka memiliki rasa yang sama ?


Lingkungan Anda mencerminkan harga Anda.
Lingkungan berbicara tentang RELATIONSHIP.


Apabila Anda berada dilingkungan yang bisa mengeluarkan terbaik dari diri Anda, maka Anda akan menjadi cemerlang. Tapi bila Anda berada dilingkungan yang meng-kerdil- kan diri Anda, maka Anda akan menjadi kerdil.


(Orang yang sama, bakat yang sama, kemampuan yang sama) + lingkungan yang berbeda = NILAI YANG BERBEDA. ( Sudah tepatkah keberadaan anda sekarang? )

Rahasia si Untung



Kita semua pasti kenal tokoh si Untung di komik Donal Bebek.

Berlawanan dengan Donal yang selalu sial. Si Untung ini dikisahkan untung terus. Ada saja keberuntungan yang selalu menghampiri tokoh bebek yang di Amerika bernama asli Gladstone ini. Betapa enaknya hidup si Untung. Pemalas, tidak pernah bekerja, tapi selalu lebih untung dari Donal. Jika Untung dan Donal berjalan bersama, yang tiba-tiba menemukan sekeping uang dijalan, pastilah itu si Untung.

Jika Anda juga ingin selalu beruntung seperti si Untung, dont worry, ternyata beruntung itu ada ilmunya. Professor Richard Wiseman dari University of Hertfordshire Inggris, mencoba meneliti hal-hal yang membedakan orang-orang beruntung dengan yang sial.

Wiseman merekrut sekelompok orang yang merasa hidupnya selalu untung, dan sekelompok lain yang hidupnya selalu sial. Memang kesannya seperti main-main, bagaimana mungkin keberuntungan bisa diteliti. Namun ternyata memang orang yang beruntung bertindak berbeda dengan mereka yang sial.

Misalnya, dalam salah satu penelitian the Luck Project ini, Wiseman memberikan tugas untuk menghitung berapa jumlah foto dalam koran yang dibagikan kepada dua kelompok tadi. Orang2 dari kelompok sial memerlukan waktu rata-rata 2 menit untuk menyelesaikan tugas ini. Sementara mereka dari kelompok si Untung hanya perlu beberapa detik saja! Lho kok bisa? Ya, karena sebelumnya pada halaman ke dua Wiseman telah meletakkan tulisan yang tidak kecil berbunyi "berhenti menghitung sekarang! ada 43 gambar di koran ini". Kelompol sial melewatkan tulisan ini ketika asyik menghitung gambar.

Bahkan, lebih iseng lagi, di tengah-tengah koran, Wiseman menaruh pesan lain yang bunyinya: "berhenti menghitung sekarang dan bilang ke peneliti Anda menemukan ini, dan menangkan $250!" Lagi-lagi kelompok sial melewatkan pesan tadi! Memang benar2 sial.

Singkatnya, dari penelitian yang diklaimnya "scientific" ini, Wiseman menemukan empat faktor yang membedakan mereka yang beruntung dari yang sial:


1. Sikap terhadap peluang.

Orang beruntung ternyata memang lebih terbuka terhadap peluang. Mereka lebih peka terhadap adanya peluang, pandai menciptakan peluang, dan bertindak ketika peluang datang. Bagaimana hal ini dimungkinkan? Ternyata orang-orang yg beruntung memiliki sikap yang lebih rileks dan terbuka terhadap pengalaman-pengalaman baru. Mereka lebih terbuka terhadap interaksi dengan orang-orang yang baru dikenal, dan menciptakan jaringan-jaringan sosial baru. Orang yang sial lebih tegang sehingga tertutup terhadap kemungkinan- kemungkinan baru.

Sebagai contoh, ketika Barnett Helzberg seorang pemilik toko permata di New York hendak menjual toko permata nya, tanpa disengaja sewaktu berjalan di depan Plaza Hotel, dia mendengar seorang wanita memanggil pria di sebelahnya: "Mr. Buffet!" Hanya kejadian sekilas yang mungkin akan dilewatkan kebanyakan orang yang kurang beruntung. Tapi Helzber berpikir lain. Ia berpikir jika pria di sebelahnya ternyata adalah Warren Buffet, salah seorang investor terbesar di Amerika, maka dia berpeluang menawarkan jaringan toko permata nya. Maka Helzberg segera menyapa pria di sebelahnya, dan betul ternyata dia adalah Warren Buffet. Perkenalan pun terjadi dan Helzberg yang sebelumnya sama sekali tidak mengenal Warren Buffet, berhasil menawarkan bisnisnya secara langsung kepada Buffet, face to face. Setahun kemudian Buffet setuju membeli jaringan toko permata milik Helzberg.. Betul-betul beruntung.


2. Menggunakan intuisi dalam membuat keputusan.

Orang yang beruntung ternyata lebih mengandalkan intuisi daripada logika. Keputusan-keputusan penting yang dilakukan oleh orang beruntung ternyata sebagian besar dilakukan atas dasar bisikan "hati nurani" (intuisi) daripada hasil otak-atik angka yang canggih. Angka-angka akan sangat membantu, tapi final decision umumnya dari "gut feeling".. Yang barangkali sulit bagi orang yang sial adalah, bisikan hati nurani tadi akan sulit kita dengar jika otak kita pusing dengan penalaran yang tak berkesudahan.

Makanya orang beruntung umumnya memiliki metoda untuk mempertajam intuisi mereka, misalnya melalui meditasi yang teratur. Pada kondisi mental yang tenang, dan pikiran yang jernih, intuisi akan lebih mudah diakses.. Dan makin sering digunakan, intuisi kita juga akan semakin tajam. Banyak teman saya yang bertanya, "mendengarkan intuisi" itu bagaimana? Apakah tiba2 ada suara yang terdengar menyuruh kita melakukan sesuatu? Wah, kalau pengalaman saya tidak seperti itu. Malah kalau tiba2 mendengar suara yg tidak ketahuan sumbernya, bisa2 saya jatuh pingsan. Karena ini subyektif, mungkin saja ada orang yang beneran denger suara. Tapi kalau pengalaman saya, sesungguhnya intuisi itu sering muncul dalam berbagai bentuk, misalnya: - Isyarat dari badan. Anda pasti sering mengalami. "Gue kok tiba2 deg-deg an ya, mau dapet rejeki kali", semacam itu.

Badan kita sesungguhnya sering memberi isyarat2 tertentu yang harus Anda maknakan. Misalnya Anda kok tiba2 meriang kalau mau dapet deal gede, ya diwaspadai saja kalau tiba2 meriang lagi.. - Isyarat dari perasaan. Tiba-tiba saja Anda merasakan sesuatu yang lain ketika sedang melihat atau melakukan sesuatu. Ini yang pernah saya alami. Contohnya, waktu saya masih kuliah, saya suka merasa tiba-tiba excited setiap kali melintasi kantor perusahaan tertentu. Beberapa tahun kemudian saya ternyata bekerja di kantor tersebut. Ini masih terjadi untuk beberapa hal lain.

3. Selalu berharap kebaikan akan datang.

Orang yang beruntung ternyata selalu ge-er terhadap kehidupan. Selalu berprasangka baik bahwa kebaikan akan datang kepadanya. Dengan sikap mental yang demikian, mereka lebih tahan terhadap ujian yang menimpa mereka, dan akan lebih positif dalam berinteraksi dengan orang lain. Coba saja Anda lakukan tes sendiri secara sederhana, tanya orang sukses yang Anda kenal, bagaimana prospek bisnis kedepan. Pasti mereka akan menceritakan optimisme dan harapan.


4. Mengubah hal yang buruk menjadi baik.

Orang-orang beruntung sangat pandai menghadapi situasi buruk dan merubahnya menjadi kebaikan. Bagi mereka setiap situasi selalu ada sisi baiknya. Dalam salah satu tes nya Prof Wiseman meminta peserta untuk membayangkan sedang pergi ke bank dan tiba-tiba bank tersebut diserbu kawanan perampok bersenjata.

Dan peserta diminta mengutarakan reaksi mereka. Reaksi orang dari kelompok sial umumnya adalah: "wah sial bener ada di tengah2 perampokan begitu". Sementara reaksi orang beruntung, misalnya adalah: "untung saya ada disana, saya bisa menuliskan pengalaman saya untuk media dan dapet duit". Apapun situasinya orang yg beruntung pokoknya untung terus. Mereka dengan cepat mampu beradaptasi dengan situasi buruk dan merubahnya menjadi keberuntungan.
Sekolah Keberuntungan.

Bagi mereka yang kurang beruntung, Prof Wiseman bahkan membuka Luck School. Latihan yang diberikan Wiseman untuk orang-orang semacam itu adalah dengan membuat "Luck Diary", buku harian keberuntungan. Setiap hari, peserta harus mencatat hal-hal positif atau keberuntungan yang terjadi. Mereka dilarang keras menuliskan kesialan mereka. Awalnya mungkin sulit, tapi begitu mereka bisa menuliskan satu keberuntungan, besok-besoknya akan semakin mudah dan semakin banyak keberuntungan yang mereka tuliskan.

Dan ketika mereka melihat beberapa hari kebelakang Lucky Diary mereka, mereka semakin sadar betapa beruntungnya mereka. Dan sesuai prinsip "law of attraction", semakin mereka memikirkan betapa mereka beruntung, maka semakin banyak lagi lucky events yang datang pada hidup mereka. Jadi, sesederhana itu rahasia si Untung. Ternyata semua orang juga bisa beruntung. Termasuk teman semua.


Siap mulai menjadi si Untung?

Did you Know Shift Happens !




I loved it ! It really made me think during & after the presentation.
Truly what an effective presentation should do.

52 Proven Stress Reducers

Taken From
National Headache Foundation
5252 N. Western Avenue ? Chicago, Illinois 60625

1.
Get up fifteen minutes earlier in the morning. The inevitable morning mishaps will be less stressful.

2.
Prepare for the morning the evening before. Set the breakfast table, make lunches, put out the clothes you plan to wear, etc.

3.
Don’t rely on your memory. Write down appointment times, when to pick up the laundry, when library books are due, etc. ("The palest ink is better than the most retentive memory." - Old Chinese Proverb)

4.
Do nothing which, after being done, leads you to tell a lie.

5.
Make duplicates of all keys. Bury a house key in a secret spot in the garden and carry a duplicate car key in your wallet, apart from your key ring.

6.
Practice preventive maintenance. Your car, appliances, home, and
relationships will be less likely to break down/fall apart "at the worst possible moment."

7.
Be prepared to wait. A paperback can make a wait in a post office line almost pleasant.

8.
Procrastination is stressful. Whatever you want to do tomorrow, do today; whatever you want to do today, do it now.

9.
Plan ahead. Don’t let the gas tank get below one-quarter full; keep a well-stocked "emergency shelf" of home staples; don’t wait until you’re down to your last bus token or postage stamp to buy more; etc.

10.
Don’t put up with something that doesn’t work right. If your alarm clock, wallet, shoe laces, windshield wipers ? whatever ? are a constant aggravation, get them fixed or get new ones.

11.
Allow 15 minutes of extra time to get to appointments. Plan to arrive at an airport one hour before domestic departures.

12.
Eliminate (or restrict) the amount of caffeine in your diet.

13.
Always set up contingency plans, "just in case." ("If for some reason either of us is delayed, here’s what we’ll do?" kind of thing. Or, "If we get split up in the shopping center, here’s where we’ll meet.")

14.
Relax your standards. The world will not end if the grass doesn’t get mowed this weekend.

15.
Pollyanna-Power! For every one thing that goes wrong, there are probably 10 or 50 or 100 blessings. Count em!

16.
Ask questions. Taking a few moments to repeat back directions, what someone expects of you, etc., can save hours. (The old "the hurrieder I go, the behinder I get, " idea.)

17.
Say "No!" Saying "no" to extra projects, social activities, and invitations you know you don’t have the time or energy for takes practice, self-respect, and a belief that everyone, everyday, needs quiet time to relax and be alone.

18.
Unplug your phone. Want to take a long bath, meditate, sleep, or read without interruption? Drum up the courage to temporarily disconnect. (The possibility of there being a terrible emergency in the next hour or so is almost nil.) Or use an answering machine.

19.
Turn "needs" into preferences. Our basic physical needs translate into food, water, and keeping warm. Everything else is a preference. Don?t get attached to preferences.

20.
Simplify, simplify, simplify?

21.
Make friends with no worriers. Nothing can get you into the habit of worrying faster than associating with chronic worrywarts.

22.
Get up and stretch periodically if your job requires that you sit for extended periods.

23.
Wear earplugs. If you need to find quiet at home, pop in some earplugs.

24.
Get enough sleep. If necessary, use an alarm clock to remind you to go to bed.

25.
Create order out of chaos. Organize your home and workspace so that you always know exactly where things are. Put things away where they belong and you won?t have to go through the stress of losing things.

26.
When feeling stressed, most people tend to breathe in short, shallow breaths. When you breathe like this, stale air is not expelled, oxidation of the tissues is incomplete, and muscle tension frequently results. Check your breathing throughout the day, and before, during, and after high-pressure situations. If you find your stomach muscles are knotted and your breathing is shallow, relax all your muscles and take several deep, slow breaths. Note how, when you’re relaxed, both your abdomen and chest expand when you breathe.

27.
Writing your thoughts and feelings down (in a journal, or on paper to be thrown away) can help you clarify things and can give you a renewed perspective.

28.
Try the following yoga technique whenever you feel the need to relax. Inhale deeply through your nose to the count of eight. Then, with lips puckered, exhale very slowly through your mouth to the count of 16, or for as long as you can. Concentrate on the long sighing sound and feel the tension dissolve. Repeat 10 times.

29.
Inoculate yourself against a feared event. Example: before speaking in public, take time to go over every part of the experience in your mind. Imagine what you?ll wear, what the audience will look like, how you will present your talk, what the questions will be and how you will answer them, etc. Visualize the experience the way you would have it be. You’ll likely find that when the time comes to make the actual presentation, it will be "old hat" and much of your anxiety will have fled.

30.
When the stress of having to get a job done gets in the way of getting the job done, diversion ? a voluntary change in activity and/or environment ? may be just what you need.

31.
Talk it out. Discussing your problems with a trusted friend can help clear your mind of confusion so you can concentrate on problem solving.

32.
One of the most obvious ways to avoid unnecessary stress is to select an environment (work, home, leisure) which is in line with your personal needs and desires. If you hate desk jobs, don’t accept a job which requires that you sit at a desk all day. If you hate to talk politics, don’t associate with people who love to talk politics, etc.

33.
Learn to live one day at a time.

34.
Every day, do something you really enjoy.

35.
Add an ounce of love to everything you do.

36.
Take a hot bath or shower (or a cool one in summertime) to relieve tension.

37.
Do something for somebody else.

38.
Focus on understanding rather than on being understood; on loving rather than on being loved.

39.
Do something that will improve your appearance. Looking better can help you feel better.

40.
Schedule a realistic day. Avoid the tendency to schedule back-to-back appointments; allow time between appointments for a breathing spell.

41.
Become more flexible. Some things are worth not doing perfectly and some issues are well to compromise upon.

42.
Eliminate destructive self-talk: "I’m too old to?," "I’m too fat to?," etc.

43.
Use your weekend time for a change of pace. If you work week is slow and patterned, make sure there is action and time for spontaneity built into your weekends. If your work week is fast-paced and full of people and deadlines, seek peace and solitude during your days off. Feel as if you aren’t accomplishing anything at work? Tackle a job on the weekend which you can finish to your satisfaction.

44.
"Worry about the pennies and the dollars will take care of themselves." That’s another way of saying: take care of the today as best you can and the yesterdays and the tomorrows will take care of themselves.

45.
Do one thing at a time. When you are with someone, be with that person and with no one or nothing else. When you are busy with a project, concentrate on doing that project and forget about everything else you have to do.

46.
Allow yourself time everyday for privacy, quiet, and introspection.

47.
If an especially unpleasant task faces you, do it early in the day and get
it over with; then the rest of your day will be free of anxiety.

48.
Learn to delegate responsibility to capable others.

49.
Don’t forget to take a lunch break. Try to get away from your desk or work area in body and mind, even if it’s just for 15 or 20 minutes.

50.
Forget about counting to 10. Count to 1,000 before doing something or saying anything that could make matters worse.

51.
Have a forgiving view of events and people. Accept the fact that we live in an imperfect world.

52.
Have an optimistic view of the world. Believe that most people are doing the best they can.

What does love mean ?

When a group of professionals posed the question, "What does love mean?" to a group of children between the ages of 4 and 8, they got answers that were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See for yourself:

"Love is that first feeling you feel before all the bad stuff gets in the way."

"When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love."

"When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You know that your name is safe in their mouth."

"Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other."

"Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs."

"Love is when someone hurts you. And you get so mad but you don't yell at them because you know it would hurt their feelings."

"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired."

"Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him to make sure the taste is OK."

"Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more. My Mommy and Daddy are like that. They look gross when they kiss."

"Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen."

"If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate."
"Love is hugging. Love is kissing. Love is saying no."

"When you tell someone something bad about yourself and you're scared they won't love you anymore. But then you get surprised because not only do they still love you, they love you even more."

"Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday."

"Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well."

"During my piano recital, I was on a stage and scared. I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling. He was the only one doing that. I wasn't scared anymore."

"My mommy loves me more than anybody. You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night."

"Love is when mommy gives daddy the best piece of chicken."

"Love is when mommy sees daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford."

"Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day."

"I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones."

"I let my big sister pick on me because my Mom says she only picks on me because she loves me. So I pick on my baby sister because I love her."

"Love cards like Valentine's cards say stuff on them that we'd like to say ourselves, but we wouldn't be caught dead saying."

"When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you."

"Love is when mommy sees daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think it's gross."

"You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget."

Three Old Men

A woman came out of her house and saw 3 old men with long white beards sitting in her front yard. She did not recognize them. She said I don't think I know you, but you must be hungry.

Please come in and have something to eat; Is the man of the house home?, they asked. No, she said. He's out. Then we cannot come in, they replied.

In the evening when her husband came home, she told him what had happened. Go tell them I am home and invite them in! The woman went out and invited the men in. We do not go into a House together, they replied. Why is that? she wanted to know. One of the old men explained: ;His name is Wealth,; he said pointing to one of his friends, and said pointing to another one, He is Success, and I am Love.; Then he added, Now go in and discuss with your husband which one of us you want in your home; The woman went in and told her husband what was said. Her husband was overjoyed.

Wealth. Let him come and fill our home with wealth! His wife disagreed. My dear, why don't we invite Success? Their daughter-in-law was listening from the other corner of the house. She jumped in with her own suggestion: Would it not be better to invite Love? Our home will then be filled with love! Let us heed our daughter-in-law's advice, said the husband to his wife. Go out and invite Love to be our guest. The woman went out and asked the 3 old men, Which one of you is Love?

Please come in and be our guest.;

Love got up and started walking toward the house. The other 2 also got up and followed him. Surprised, the lady asked Wealth and Success: I only invited Love, Why are you coming in?
The old men replied together: ; If you had invited Wealth or Success, the other two of us would've stayed out, but since you invited Love, wherever He goes, we go with him.


Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success!

* Jangan memaksakan diri untuk memiliki barang-barang bermerk, pakailah apa yang sekiranya nyaman bagi Anda.

* Jangan memboroskan uang Anda untuk hal-hal yang tidak diperlukan; gunakanlah uang untuk membantu mereka yang kekurangan.

* Biar bagaimana pun orang lain tetap tidak dapat mengatur hidup Anda sendiri. Andalah yang mengendalikan hidup Anda sepenuhnya.

Generation Gap

A very self-important college freshman attending a recent football game, took it upon himself to explain to a senior citizen sitting next to him why it was impossible for the older generation to understand his generation.

"You grew up in a different world, actually an almost primitive one !", the student said, loud enough for many of those nearby to hear.

"The young people of today grew up with television, jet planes, space travel, man walking on the moon, our spaceships have visited Mars. We have nuclear energy, electric and hydrogen cars, computers with DSL, BPS, light-speed processing .... and..."

...pausing to take another drink of beer.... The Senior took advantage of the break in the student's litany and said, "You're right, son. We didn't have those things when we were young, so we invented them. Now, you - arrogant little shit - what are you doing for the next generation?"

Three Equations and One Conclusion

Equation 1

Human = eat + sleep + work + enjoy

Donkey = eat + sleep

Therefore,

Human = Donkey + work + enjoy

Therefore,

Human - enjoy = Donkey + work

In other words,

Human that don't know enjoy = Donkey that work



Equation 2


Men = eat + sleep + earn money

Donkeys = eat + sleep

Therefore,

Men = Donkeys + earn money

Therefore,

Men - earn money = Donkeys

In other words,

Men that don't earn money = Donkeys



Equation 3

Women = eat + sleep + spend

Donkeys = eat + sleep

Therefore,

Women = Donkeys + spend

Therefore,

Women - spend = Donkeys

In other words,

Women that don't spend = Donkeys



To Conclude:

From Equation 2 and Equation 3

Men that don't earn money = Women that don't spend.

So, Men earn money not to let women become Donkeys! (Postulate 1)

And, Women spend not to let men become Donkeys! (Postulate 2)

So, we have?

Men + Women = Donkeys + earn money + Donkeys + spend money

Therefore from Postulates 1 and 2, we can conclude,

Man + Woman = 2 Donkeys that live happily together!

Try to watch this without laughing or grinning

HOw long can you go ?



i don't know why i laugh it's so stupid but yet so funny :D
