Sepucuk Surat Dari Jack Ma Kepada Putranya

Nasehat Jack Ma
Anakku.. Kutulis catatan pendek ini berdasarkan 3 prinsip:

1. Keberuntungan dan bencana dalam hidup ini tidak ada yang abadi, tidak seorangpun tahu mampu hidup berapa lama, ada sebagian hal sebaiknya dibicarakan sejak awal.

2. Aku adalah ayahmu, jika aku tidak mengatakannya padamu, maka tidak akan ada yang mengatakannya padamu.

3. Catatan kecil ini menuliskan pengalaman yang kudapatkan melalui sakit dan kegagalan, bisa menghindari jalan berputar dalam perjalanan pertumbuhan hidupmu.

Di bawah ini adalah hal-hal yang harus kau ingat baik-baik dalam hidupmu :

1. Janganlah terlalu mempedulikan orang yang tidak baik terhadapmu. Di seumur hidupmu, tidak ada seorangpun berkewajiban baik terhadapmu, terkecuali ayah ibumu. Terhadap orang yang baik kepadamu, haruslah senantiasa bersyukur dan menghargai.

2. Tidak ada orang yang tak tergantikan, tak ada benda yang wajib dimiliki. Ketika mengerti hal ini, kelak seandainya kau kehilangan semua yang berarti dan kau cintai, kau akan tetap akan memahami, ini semua bukanlah perkara besar.

3. Kehidupan ini begitu sementara, hari ini mungkin kita masih menyia-nyiakan kehidupan, esok hari barulah menyadari kehidupan telah jauh meninggalkan kita. Karena itu, hargai kehidupan sedini mungkin, hari-harimu menikmati kehidupanpun akan semakin banyak. Daripada mengharapkan umur panjang, lebih baik lebih dulu menikmatinya.

4. Cinta kasih hanyalah sebuah perasaan, dan perasaan ini akan berubah mengikuti waktu dan keadaan. Jika seseorang yang begitu kau cintai meninggalkanmu, bersabarlah menunggu sebentar, biarkan waktu perlahan membersihkannya, biarkan perlahan mengendap, rasa pahitnyapun akan perlahan-lahan menjadi hambar. Janganlah berlebihan mengharpkan keindahan cinta, janganlah juga berlebihan larut dalam sedih patah hati.

5. Meskipun banyak orang sukses yang tidak mendapatkan terlalu banyak pendidikan, bukan berarti tidak giat belajarpun bisa berhasil. Pengetahuan yang kau dapatkan adalah senjata yang kau miliki. Kita boleh membangun semua dari nol, tapi tidak dengan tangan kosong. Ingatlah baik-baik!

6. Aku tidak akan memintamu mengurus masa tuaku, sama halnya denganku yang tidak akan mengurus masa tuamu. Ketika kau dewasa dan mandiri kelak, kewajibanku selesai. Selanjutnya apakah kamu naik kendaraan umum atau mercedez benz, menyantap sirip ikan atau bihun, semuanya harus kau pertanggung jawabkan sendiri.

7. Kamu boleh menuntut dirimu untuk menjaga kepercayaan, tapi tidak dapat menuntut orang lain melakukan hal yang sama; kamu boleh menuntut dirimu berbuat baik kepada orang lain, namun jangan mengharapkan orang lain baik terhadapmu; bagaimana kamu memperlakukan orang lain, bukanlah berarti mereka akan memperlakukanmu sama, jika kamu tidak memahami ini, hanya akan menambah beban yang tak perlu dalam hidupmu.

8. Aku membeli lotre selama 26 tahun, bahkan hadiah ke-3pun tak pernah aku dapatkan, membuktikan kemakmuran hanya dapat dihasilkan dari giatnya bekerja, tidak ada kekayaan yang turun dari langit.

9. Keluarga hanyalah ikatan jodoh satu kali, berapa lamapun aku dan kamu akan bersama, kamu tetap harus menghargai setiap waktu kebersamaan, di kehidupan selanjutnya, apakah kita saling mencintai maupun tidak, tetap tidak akan berjumpa lagi.

How to Beat Public Speaking Fears

Does the thought of speaking in front of a room of people make your stomach queasy, palms sweaty and voice shaky? You’re not the only one! Many adults fear public speaking, but in the business world, it’s almost impossible to avoid having to do it. So, how do you get over this paralyzing, crippling fear of public speaking? Here are a few tips:

Focus on the audience.

Have you ever been told to avoid eye contact with the audience and direct your gaze elsewhere around the room to ease your nerves? Although this is popular advice, it’s not effective when it comes to easing your nerves. In actuality, the right way to get over your public speaking fears is to focus carefully on the audience. Focusing on the people that are listening to your speech will help you take attention away from your inner thoughts, which at this point are probably full of self-doubt and negativity. Quiet this inner voice by paying attention to the people in the room instead of focusing on your thoughts.

Practice in the mirror.

If you can’t perform your speech in front of your own reflection, you won’t be able to do it in front of a crowd so practice, practice, practice. Take note of your body language and facial expressions to see what kind of impression you’re giving off to the audience. The audience will respond well if you appear welcoming and project a sense of calm, so work on controlling nervous gestures and relax your facial features so you don’t seem tense and closed off to your listeners.

Nail the intro.

Nerves tend to be the worst during the first few minutes of your speech. How you perform during this crucial time period will determine how you approach the rest of your speech, so it’s important to nail the introduction. What will happen if you make a slip up in the beginning? That inner voice, you know the one that’s been telling you about everything that could go wrong, will work you up and amplify your jitters for the remainder of your speech. Nail the intro, and you’ll realize your fears were unfounded, making the rest of your speech a breeze.

Make it personal.

As a public speaker, you’re not there to relay information and statistics as if you’re reading directly from an encyclopedia. Your job is to use the information you’ve dug up from research and add your own personal twist to it. Inject personal stories and career advice into your speech to make it your own, and to grab your audience’s attention. Are you wondering how making a speech more impactful will help you calm your nerves? It’s simple, the more confident you are in your speech, the more relaxed you’ll be. Looking at a public speaking gig as sharing a piece of your story with the audience will help you realize it’s really not a big deal!

Do a practice run.

If possible, visit the room where you will be speaking in one day in advance. Where will you be standing in relation to the audience? Will the lights be shining in your face? Will there be a podium for you to place note cards on? Knowing the logistics of everything will help you ease your anxieties because you won’t have to worry about being unprepared. If your speech is accompanied with a presentation or visual, be sure to check what technological equipment is available for you to use. Don’t just check to see if it’s there, do a test run and make sure it actually turns on and works correctly!

The most effective leaders are often times the greatest public speakers, so conquering this fear will be beneficial to your career in the long run. Do you know what other aspects of your professional development you need to work on?

How To Memorize Things Quicker Than Other People

People like to joke that the only thing you really “learn” in school is how to memorize. As it turns out, that’s not even the case for most of us. If you go around the room and ask a handful of people how to memorize things quickly, most of them will probably tell you repetition. there is some tips can make you memorize things quicer than other people : 

Step 1: Preparation

To optimize your memorization session, pay close attention to which environment you choose. For most people, this means choosing an area with few distractions, though some people do thrive off of learning in public areas. Figure out what is most conducive to your learning so that you can get started.

Next, start drinking some tea. I could link you to mounds of scientific studies that confirm green tea as a natural catalyst for improving memory. Mechanically speaking, our ability to recall information comes down to the strength between neurons in our mind, which are connected by synapses. The more you exercise the synapse (repetition), the stronger it is, resulting in the ability to memorize.

As we get older, toxic chemicals will damage our neurons and synapses, leading to memory loss and even Alzheimer’s. Green tea contains compounds, however, that block this toxicity and keep your brain cells working properly a lot longer.

Step 2: Record What You’re Memorizing

This is especially useful if you’re trying to memorize information from a lecture. Use a tape recorder to track all of the acquired facts being spoken and listen to it. If you’re trying to memorize a speech, record yourself reading the speech aloud and listen to yourself speaking. Obviously, this is most helpful for auditory learners, but it’s also handy because it ensures that you’re getting more context from a lecture that will help you learn the information faster.

Step 3: Write Everything Down

Before you start trying to recall everything from memory, write and re-write the information. This will help you become more familiar with what you’re trying to memorize. Doing this while listening to your tape recorder can also help you retain a lot of the data. This is most useful for experiential learners.

Step 4: Section your notes.

Now that you have everything written down in one set of notes, separate them into sections. This is ideal for visual learners, especially if you use color coding to differentiate between subjects. This will help you break everything down and start compartmentalizing the information being recorded in your brain.

Step 5: Apply repetition to cumulative memorization

For each line of text, repeat it a few times and try to recall it without looking. As you memorize each set of text, be cumulative by adding the new information to what you’ve just learned. This will keep everything within your short-term memory from fading. Keep doing this until you have memorized that section and you are able to recall the entire thing. Do not move on to another section until you have memorized that one completely. This is mostly visual learning, but if you are speaking aloud, then you are also applying auditory.

Step 6: Write it down from memory

Now that you can recall entire sections, write everything down from memory. This will reinforce everything you just have just learned by applying it experientially.

Step 7: Teach it to someone (or yourself)

The most effective method for me when I was in school was to teach the information to someone else. You can do this in a variety of ways. You can lecture the knowledge to someone sitting right in front of you (or the mirror, if you can’t convince anyone to sit through it) and explain everything extemporaneously. If what you’ve learned needs to be recited verbatim, then do this in front of someone as well in order to get a feel for what it will be like to recite the text to the intended audience.

My favorite method for this is creating tests for other people. Take the information and predict what questions will come out of them. Use multiple choice, matching and so on to present the data in test format, and see how someone else does. All of this is experiential learning, since you are actually practicing and manipulating the concepts you’ve learned.

Step 8: Listen to the recordings continuously

While doing unrelated tasks like laundry or driving, go over the information again by listening to your tape recordings. This is certainly auditory learning, but it will still supplement everything you’ve shoved into your short-term memory.

Step 9: Take a break

Finally, let your mind breathe. Go for a short time without thinking about what you just learned and come back to it later on. You’ll find out what you really know, of course, and this will help you focus on the sections you might be weakest at.
