When we were young we think we could conquered the world. When we are much older, the spirit wasnt there anymore. we just follow the flow. At least that's what i heard from ..well... older people.

But i dont want to follow the flow. The life of me, following the flow is not an option.

I want to live life to the fullest and no matter hard, i will explore new path and make a trail. After working 11 hours daily for the last 4 weeks, i guess it's time i start a new trail myself.

There's many a thing should be improved.

Following Stephen Covey's The Habit advice (rasanya dlm buku dia) i went up seeing the right person during the right time.

Her name is Siti Mariam Joned. After lenghty discussion and explanation I couldnt agree more. I learnt long ago (was it from the book also?) whatever behind closed door, must remained so". No, its not something under Official Secret Act... lerr...

But then... these are the lessons i learn from her today.

1. Be tactful with subordinate. (i tot i m, tapi tactful could means more than what mr webster defined in his first famous dictionary)

2. Black and white.

Make sure every instructions is in black and white especially when dealing with hostile person. again no one in particular could be classified as hostile ... yet, but just assume u'll meet one, then the black and white instruction would come handy.

3. Record

All the yada-yada is absolutely tarak makna unless backed with record. Start ur buku log now.

On something partially related, 3 days ago, Azuan, an old colleague came to see me over something wic i definitely i was in no position to help. Yep, no power, no fire to do so. He knew that, and probably (guessing games!!) he juz need someone to talk to. Im all ears...

That was not the reason i mentioned it.. the point is Azuan said, "Saya suka dia kak. Senang kan keje dengan dia."

I totally agree more. In my humble opinion, a leader should inspire and nurture the talent among his or her subordinates. Not come to work and baca suratkhabar dari muka depan sampai ruangan sukan during office hours. While the talent in question is still questionable, but she really inspired us to work harder, like her..

I left her room feeling very rich, this morning, eventhough all my proposals (i brought 2) were rejected.

p/s... Kak Sha, in case u read this, u r still d best boss i ever had. She's brilliant but

u r still the best badminton player in d universe!!! hehehe
