About Success

What a success. Everyone has the perception. Not important and controversial measure substansinya, because every human being has the background, ability and obsession. As a result, the desired success differently. Two new graduate degree, a diantaran a happy, feel successful, they preach to this village. He will invite all the kampong to mendatagi graduation. One other speechless, it was not successful, because it does not ring ijasah anything. Secuil knowledge, feel stunted. After the graduates want to go?
Perhaps, for the sake of convenience, the measure of success with wealth. Pak Harto, president of the three, it has been all over the old. When asked now, including sukseskah him? The sewing machine fell poor, all the money used to create a machine. Until death do not have to buy a penemuannya. Several years later parik memproduksinya. Sukseskah him? Poet Emily Dickinson is a contemporary woman who lives alone in the house of her parents in Massacchusets. Until the age of 56 years only 4 sajaknya published, itupun "stolen" means without seijinnya. After he died, in the drawer mejanya have thousands of lyric that makes it famous.
Sad, success is not visible, such as what. As a result, we also do not know, are to success, and success or avoid rocket successfully?

Set up goals
That success can only come suddenly, for a sweepstakes or stars lie in the road. Expects "a sudden" as expected windfall. Can get a durian or not get anything, maybe even collapse durian. Systematic steps necessary to reach success. Initially, the planning, the next regulation, and action. Every second is not necessarily separated from the evaluation. Planning begins with the goal. Take a paper and pen. Write:
My life goal is: ... ... ... ... ... .. ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... .... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... (fill-point titk it's up to you. Now, too!). To achieve the goal of life, the program three months I have to achieve is: ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
When relatives can not fill. You do not have a program, you will not ever achieve success. You just flows like water, or where it evaporate. You do not live. You do not design your life. You are a dead end before the arrival! Arise now.
Create a goal even though the short, meki is simple, but there must be. For the purpose of the plan that you have to do. Goods renana the only time the streak pencil stub on paper, but bearable than not. The plan has the confidence that you have a program. It's the direction where life is taken, there is a target set.
Goals have been written. Cermati well. What you write istlah the best for you. Good. Can you write that is the purpose of life for several months or several years. Can achieve meaningful success, a success. If not, just delayed.
If the goal is planned for the upcoming year, please write pogram to be completed for this month, what the target to be completed today. Please detail. When the three brothers future bula brother should get work. Progamkan, how many days this application should I do, this sunday what information will I kantongi, where that information be? who must be found?. If not found what way out?
There are goals, there is a target, no program. Each program or try to target success. As an exercise, make a tight schedule. This week is targeted, a daily program. Day what should be done, the plan tomorrow, write the day after tomorrow, and tomorrow, the next next. Follow the schedule, all with the spirit of the program and the steel target. When there is no means be an additional burden for the next day. You should be able to punish yourself because of laziness and an error that you do. Each time the ability of all the brain and heart are focused on success, the goals, targets and achieve the realization of the program.
Forward, forward, forward and hold ... ... ... ... ..

KREATIF INISIATIF & Off
Not passive, reactive. Not waiting for the ball but pick the ball. Forged a still suddenly become celebrities, political leaders and the rich? Unduly often heard greeting Edison 99 prosen the hard work and 1 prosen kejeniusan.
Active is a sign of life. A time when the active would do, there is a difficult question, "What will I do?". It seems there is no work to do. Clothes have to be ironed tasks have been prepared lecture tomorrow, today completed study summarized, let alone? Sleep alone, although this afternoon I have 2 hours sleep, to sleep again now, okay?
Incompetent. When a meyatakan that no longer work for this kind of hubris, but at the same time folly. Stay ditempatmu! View dikotak pencil that, there should dilancipkan, see sepatumu who have cried daily, see sekolahmu have bags that need to be sewn, see the vault where the need to sleep disapu. Apalgi students who often leave a room, stand alone dipintu, see the right, there is a need to straggle slippers neatly styled. View towel that have left the dionggokkan, there are empty water tanks. Moreover, as children kalu kos that is not so much homework, komisariat always open to visitors, the Library opened hands, save what he needed. There are discussions that you are ready to practice, there is the religion of science direguk ready, there are other knowledge that is ready and is not digested completely. There are many mosques that rumputnya need revoked, there wudlu the ainya need ditimbakan. There are many friends who need to visit, may kost-kostan and the home front, there is a need to dieratkan strap silaturrahmi, the sick need entertained, which is difficult perilu accompanied.
Dope is a proud people who themselves have suffered menyeleasikan task in his life, and he need not do anything. Anugrah ditidurkan eyes only, I hand to eat, nose to snore. Favors health hands, eyes nose wasted. That Sin! so, you must be active and creative.

Entrepreneurship, FOR ALL PEOPLE?

Entrepreneurship has become not easy.
But that be not as many people,
because every person in the study berwirausaha.

According to Poppy King, a young entrepreneur from Australia to the field of business since the age of 18 years, there are three things that always faced an entrepreneur in any field, namely: first, obstacle (obstacle); second, hardship (trouble); third, very rewarding life (or reward for the results of the life). And I agree entirely with that statement. Therefore I think that entrepreneurship is in a certain limit for all people. Why?

I think a lot of reasons to say it. First, each person has a goal, dream, or at least hope to improve the quality of his life as a man. This is the kind of "sixth sense" that encourages people to work normally and tried. "Intuition" is associated with one of the potential of humanity, namely power creative imagination.

Because humans are the only creature that God's creation, among others, has a creative imagination power, he can use them to think. The mind can be directed to the past, the present and the future. With thinking, he can find the answers to important questions like: Where did I come from? Where I am at this time? And Where will I go? And whether I will inherit the world?

Browsing personal history in the past can provide the strength and weakness of a person. There are a number of experiences of life: obstacles and difficulties that we face and how we address them, failure and success, fun and keperihan, and others. However, because everything is passed, then not much more that can be done to change all that. We have to accept it and give it the meaning of the right and put it in a perspective of the present and the future (Harefa: Success Without a Degree, Gramedia Pustaka Utama, 1998, hlm.3-7).

Narrative of the present real situation where we are, what we have, not what we have, what we enjoy, and what we can not enjoy, what the duties and responsibilities and what we become our human rights as a human , and others. With the presence we realize at this time, we can be grateful or complain, we can berpuas themselves determine the target or the next, and so on.

The future to provide hope, at least so should those who believe berkepercayaan. When we have a past that is not fun, and still are on the situation and conditions that have not been in accordance with the ideals of our dream, or, it is reasonable if we expect a better future, brighter, more fun. For as long as there is still tomorrow, all possibilities are still wide open (irrespective of pessimism or optimism about it).

It is clear that the past, the present and the future directly with the relative power our imagination. And in the times that all obstacles (obstacle), difficulty (hardship), and the joy or happiness (very rewarding life) mixed with a mixed one. So, if Poppy King said that the third thing that is faced by an entrepreneur in any field, it is not that means that entrepreneurship is for all people? What people on earth who did not face obstacles and difficulties to achieve the ideals and dreams?

The second is that entrepreneurship is basically for all people is because it can be learned. Peter F. Drucker, for example, never write in Innovation and Entrepreneurship that, "Every person who has the courage to make decisions, can learn to be entrepreneurial, and behave like entrepreneurship. For (or so) is a more entrepreneurial behavior of the symptoms of the personality, the essence lies in the concept and theory, not on intuition. " And behavior, concepts, and theories are things that can also be learned by anyone. Throughout we are willing to open the heart and mind to learn, the opportunity to become entrepreneurial remain open. Throughout the study we realize that the substance is an ongoing process, which does not always mean that begins and ends at a certain school or university, but it can be done for life, anywhere, anytime (I call this the Great School of Life), the study can be done berwirausaha by anyone, although no means must be entrepreneurial "big."

The third reason is due to the fact history shows us that the most successful entrepreneur who is essentially even ordinary people. Sabeer Bathia, a digital entrepreneur who launched hotmail.com on 4 July 1996, the new case after he act to people like Steve Jobs, inventor personal computer (Apple). And awareness that makes it quite confident when the set price penemuannya worth 400 million U.S. dollars to Bill Gates, owner of Microsoft, who is also a normal human being.

Fourth reason that I want to mention here is because after learning tips-trick dozens of successful entrepreneurial small, medium and large, in the context of local-national-regional and international-global-world, then I reach the conclusion that the secret of success, they trick is very simple . In the book from Berwirausaha Zero say that I have them:
... .. driven by the ideas and dreams,
... .. rely more on creativity,
... .. show courage,
... .. believe in hockey, but more believe in the real business,
... .. see problems as opportunities,
... .. choose appropriate business interests and hobbies,
... .. start with a capital pickup,
... .. happy to try new things,
... .. always arise from a failure, and
... .. do not rely on academic degrees.
Ten tips success is simple in principle, does not require those extraordinary. People with high IQ, medium, low until you can (learn) to do so.

Fifth reason is because the entrepreneurial drive people to the leadership. And leadership is to all people (Harefa: act on Sun, Gramedia Pustaka Utama, 1998; also Harefa: Being Human learners, Kompas, 2000).

With five simple reasons above, I want to emphasize that entrepreneurship is for all people. I do not believe in the theory or the concept that the Chinese people that bleed can be successful berwirausaha (this view believed some people in Indonesia). For so how do we explain the success of the people of Aceh, Batak, Minang Kabau, Lampung, Sumatra, Lombok, and the other indigenous berwirausaha also successful? I also do not support the theory of Max Weber that the Protestant place as ingenious entrepreneur without equal (although the context for the United States and Europe may be true). For how he explains the success of entrepreneurship, entrepreneurship in Asia and the Middle East is not a Protestant? The success of Taiwan and Singapore by Lee Teng-hui and the Lee Kuan Yew stated as "impact" Confucianism ethics?

But I agree when Anugerah Pekerti, former Director PPM Institute of Management, defines entrepreneurship as a response to business opportunities that revealed in a set of measures and work out a business organization that melembaga, productive and innovative. I also concur with Howard H. Stevenson, former President of Harvard Business School who understand entrepreneurship as a pattern of behavior management in an integrated effort the opportunities that are available without ignoring the resources it has. I support the opinion that the opportunity Drucker is the exact definition for entrepreneurship and that an entrepreneur must allocate resources from the areas that deliver low or declining to areas that deliver high or increasing.

Richard Cantillon, the first person to use the term entrepreneur in the early 18-century, said that the entrepreneur is someone who bear the risk. He was correct. Joseph Schumpeter is also true when it is said that the entrepreneurial innovators production. And said that entrepreneurship is an impersonator, as the William H. Sahlman, also harmless. But I personally prefer the view Jose Carlos Jarillo-Mossi that the entrepreneur is someone who felt the opportunity, pursue opportunities in accordance with the situation themselves, and believe that success is a matter that can be achieved.

Entrepreneurship is for all people. All the potential to become entrepreneurial. But whether he is successful entrepreneur, half-successful, or fail, that is another. Just like the people who can potentially become the president does not become president of all real, while the chance meeting does not become president (as Gus Dur beloved, for example) would become a successful president. This means, among other things, there is no concept or theory that is absolute, but also about entrepreneurship. There is also the theory that any posts submitted via this short.
