"Women Hold Up Half The Sky"

I just recently read an article, which attracted my intention to put up my post here. Traditionally, we think most women lack of certain skills, knowledge's and intelligent. We indeed are getting wrong perception on them. Time is moving, and of course women will also be developed more skillful and knowledgeable. it's could be out of your expectation. You just open your eyes and look at those are women are working in workforce, certain of them may hold up to the top ladder in corporation.

As leader experts said,Chinese communist leader Mao Zedong once remarked that “women hold up half the sky”. Whether it was an ancient proverb or his own quotation, having women in the workforce has certainly brought about a host of benefits.

The survey has proven that yet in Malaysia, only 37% of the 10.8million workforce is women. The remaining balance will occupy by the men which 77% of the available of roles. Therefore, we shouldn't expect the numbers as shown it will not be going up, it may going up in upcoming day especially in the corporate ladders. As often said, "Never ever estimated anyone else next to you."

"Why, when you have two hands, you only use one?" as professional OL addressed in this articles. They as women, they are not trying to compete with the men, it's not about being as best as men. They are just recognizing fro their own strengths and capabilities. Apart from that, women are hold the higher education rather than men. This is caused them to understand the men world always in high ladder, this is one of the way to stay in same level with men. Hence so far, I also understand that there are number of social communities to widen their networking, develop their skills, share their resources and representing themselves to government of their point of views. In workforce, it occurred gender bias basically where women always reluctant speak for themselves and achievements. Like such pattern, they used not to create norms among the social norms nor are they encouraging other women to succeed. It's difficult their efforts speak from themselves, they must able to create the intention for men to understand they are not weak likely last time.

Women measure success differently from men, “Success to men, generally speaking, is about making profits and beating your opponents. Women tend to measure success by fulfilling passions and benefiting all around them,” despite that, corporate culture must recognise female traits as a strength and not a disadvantage simply because it differs from male traits.


Fear Factor of Entrepreneurs

In recent climate change, there are lot of potential young entrepreneurs to start off their own business to invest more opportunity in their lives. And no doubt, to create a new business idea, it may cost your time and energy to figure out whether it could be possible to venture and approach investors to look at this ideas positively. It is not simple as you think if you out yourself into their shoes. Therefore, I can foresee they have facing a number of obstacles to block their own dream in order to them to heading forward to the destiny as they desired. Have you ever thought of what are the best strategy to overcome your nightmare and make your ideas successful in business? I may dropped my few solution to lead away your biggest nightmare.

1. Fear of rejection
When you thought certain brilliant and gorgeous ideas, did you fear to share with anyone else? What actual obstacles can ever stopped your dreams? it could be few main reason, but the main one is your fear of rejection. Some people will say your ideas can't ever worked it. Many good rejection examples can shared with you, "it's gonna to cost very high, profit margin is too low, consumers may not accepted new changes, it too much money to start off, the risk too high and so forth." And it's truth that it gonna to stop your movement. You start to think negatively, you feared. You should not stop because it is small roadblocks but it can breakthrough.

Solution: Be remember, kick your butt now and tell the world, you're dare to challenge and go against the grain to see the opportunities. Yet you must struggle until to strive your jackpots.

2. Fear of losing your time
Being successful entrepreneur never worked with anyone else. You work for yourself. You are the one to determine whether you wanted to work 24/7 a day nor 366 days ahead(work extra 1 day created differences). You will definitely have no spare time with your family and your holidays. You need to sacrifice most of time to make your business succeed. Whenever you have started new business, you will be concentrating the business strategies, how do you can step forward to next level to gain market advantages. Solution: No sacrifice, no result will pay out. You make it happen, if you think your business stable and good enough, you are wrong.

3. Fear of being all alone
You will guide without bosses. No one will tell how to do and how to start. You alone to work and solve every single problems when you've facing. You make your own decision. You perhaps may decided wrong decision, you have worked no framework. The worst scenario you may spend more time to figure out the problems and solve it over. Self- independent can strengthen your minds and decision making. Work alone apparently can be the best where you able to monitor every tasks you know which is main priority and which is not.

Solution: Work out a sheet of daily tasks, which able to allocate your tasks naturally and smartly. You save much time and allocating the tasks based on the deadlines as you set. No matter important nor unimportant, you must diversify your priority and specific measurable goals help you to feel good on your achievements.

Admitting Your Stupid Mistakes


Just recalled some mistakes which you have done, did you realized that it was your mistakes where it basically did not accepted by someone you ever loved? You might be ask yourself, did you honest enough to someone you really loved? What if you have not, what are the main reasons caused you have not tell the truths? I can expected some questions in your mind now. Tell the truths may or may not easy but it as hard as you think of. To admit mistakes, it is not as easy as you just speak to anyone else. I feel some feared when you have done mistakes, it's not evaluate small or big, it just such your pattern being honestly. I feared indeed. I really pissed off.

I don't know how should I start to tell your beloved person. I certainly have done some mistakes will cause myself suffering daily where you even have trouble to keep yourself moving forward. I also understand that it might be caused your beloved suffering as well. You sometimes might not seen and feel how such ridiculous mistakes can caused someone next to you. It created uncomfortable zone, it will. You may thinking how to convince her/him listen to you, the most important part you ask for forgiveness. What you expect, the result may vary. You can even expect the worst scenarios what happening soon, you breathless. Apart from that, you may sucked in thinking of what is the best solution after admitted your mistakes.

Therefore, you may lost focused. You can't even stayed on track. The worst situation I can foresee may it caused them heart breaking. I can dared not do that actually but indeed you have done it. It can considers you're too self-fish. You don't care how they feel when you intially started to do it, after it happened, you will totally feel regret. What am I in this situation now. I can't manage my feeling now. You know why? I couldn't really stressed what type of regret feeling now. But now, it strongly hurt. Not only you, it is caused surrounding people. I regret, is it too late? I wish it is not.

In a RUSH

Rush things happened when time is moving. And of course it is totally hard, we can adjust rush things all the time, things may be easily to handle but the deadline is not allowed you to do so. How do you monitor all the rush things happening in once time? I wish myself can handle it, though, I honest to tell you I can but with certain condition allowed.

For instance, I recently do assisting my colleagues when they are out of country to visit our valued customers. It's really sucked in the rushing tasks where I couldn't be adopted as fast as possible. It looks simple but the mountain of works right in front of, you may rush without thinking how things can be done well. You just remained focus on your tasks, neither important nor not, I must complete before the deadline. It's killing you without strong reasons. Rush things can make you do certain mistakes which you do not realised. After a second, you found something has been missing. If you just put yourself into my shoe, I truly hope you can feel what did I feel.

When I think positively, things must be done on time, rush things must done well, no mistakes allowed. Would you be think that you are superhero or whatever? I praised myself no gift. I only can understand my sacrifice is worthwhile when I have completed all tasks with no silly mistakes at all. I know I can do it no matter how rush the tasks given, you just work with relaxing minded and keep track on your responsibility. Some people often said, "Pressure is created by yourself." I do agree with this statement, no pressure how to develop yourself and sharpen your minded. It's pretty awesome. I love this feel after rushed things have been covered up.

An good experience which I have never had that one time I was also assigned to assist my respective superior who away for country 3 weeks. It was tougher period, I made lots mistakes until involved other colleagues in this particular stupid mistakes. I had properly lost my tracks where I can't handle number of things in same time. Hence, I had wasted lots of resources which it was not necessarily and shouldn't happened. I learned from my mistakes. It's all about time management and stress management. I was telling myself after review by my respective superior, "I MUST STAYED FOCUSED" on whatever rushed things to play deep attention to finish it. Try to overcome each tasks, one-by-one to monitor closely. Although it was painful experiences, I used to adapt in short period of time, I understand "SETBACK IS NOT FAILURE."

This applies to all of us, let's not be quick in everything we do. We have to pause for a while to be able to observe and analyze or maybe even read between the lines. Take into consideration all the things that matter and set aside all that don't. Prior to things end up, we have to set our priorities which it is important and not.
