Been Professional

In every job, the 2 most important aspects are professionalism and attitude. Without a good attitude, working life will be boring & lifeless. Work can be fun if you can adopt the right attitude. Have fun, make your workplace a fun & exciting place to work in. Time will pass faster this way.

But most important is been PROFESSIONAL!! No matter what happen, either at work or personal, we should not put in our personal feelings and let it judge our thinking. Even if you want to quit, don't drop the bombshell at the very last minute and expect people to agree with you. If you want to leave, leave behind a good reputation. Leave behing beautiful memories and not the bad ones.

Management

I really wonder.. Am I a bad manager? I gave whatever I can to my staff yet some of them are still not satisfied with it. I gave them all the freedom they need to get things yet they abused the privilege. Should I go to my old ways where I will scream at them for every little mistake? Should ban all the things that's not allowed by right? I treat you like an adult yet you are behaving like a kid. Grow up man! I have my tolerance and don't try to test it. Don't force me to make you lose your integrity as a man. I can do it if I want to.

Till now you still don't realise the mistakes you had made. When will you start to learn? The rest are catching up and I believe you do not want to be left behind. PLEASE!! Wake up your idea before I can't take it anymore.

Goodbye Rubi Ion, Hello Parkway Mega

Yesterday was my LAST DAY at Rubi Ion. Been dropped the bomb in the evening. Didnt know how to react at first. The first thing that came to my mind is how to break the news to all my precious part timers, knowing that the reaction will be massive. True enough. After breaking the news, everyone thought that it was an April Fool joke. My dears, April Fool was long over. I don't wish to leave Ion too. I want to stay too.

Rubi Ion is my baby. Cuddle it up with my sweat and blood to have the result this day. It's through the hard work of the whole team to have the result we have today. I'm going to miss the whole team, the fun and laughter we had. Not forgetting the bad times too. But through the bad times, we learn to love each other even more.

Be good and listen to the new store manager and Ginnie. I will visit often and come to visit me at Parkway.

I MISS YOU ALL!!! LOVE YA!!!!

Challenges

Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, they're supposed to help you discover who you are. Problems are only opportunities with thorns on them. When people keep telling you that you can't do a thing, you kind of like to try it. To repeat what others have said, requires education, to challenge it, requires brains.

If you have made mistakes, there is always another chance for you. You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing we call "failure" is not the falling down, but the staying down. You may wonder, 'How can I leave it all behind if I am just coming back to it? How can I make a new beginning if I simply return to the old?' The answer lies in the return. You will not come back to the 'same old thing.' What you return to has changed because you have changed. Your perceptions will be altered. You will not incorporate into the same body, status, or world you left behind. The river has been flowing while you were gone. Now it does not look like the same river.

People might not get all they work for in this world, but they must certainly work for all they get.

Attitude in Work

Work is either fun or drudgery. It depends on your attitude. The true way to render ourselves happy is to love our work and find in it our pleasure. I know the price of success: dedication, hard work and an unremitting devotion to the things you want to see happen. People might not get all they work for in this world, but they must certainly work for all they get.

The secret of joy in work is contained in one word - excellence. To know how to do something well is to enjoy it. What we do matters to us. Work may not be the most important thing in our lives or the only thing. We may work because we must, but we still want to love, to feel pride in, to respect ourselves for what we do and to make a difference. Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and there must be system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing.

Work for something because it is good, not just because it stands a chance to succeed.

Looking Back

Have you ever look back and think about the choices you made? Have you ever regret it? Have the choices you made changed your life totally?

Most people can look back over the years and identify a time and place at which their lives changed significantly. Whether by accident or design, these are the moments when, because of a readiness within us and a collaboration with events occurring around us, we are forced to seriously reappraise ourselves and the conditions under which we live and to make certain choices that will affect the rest of our lives.

Looking back, sometimes I regretted helping the people that I shouldn't help. Instead of gradtitude, they returned me nothing but heartache. A pain that pierced through my heart, making me look like a fool. A fool that will say "Yes" to any of their request. A fool that will never say "No" to anything they need from me. Maybe learning to say "No" is a good thing. This will save me from all the heartaches.

Ugly Shoppers

Shoppers nowadays have VERY UGLY character. They treat sales person like dogs, ordering them here and there. Without the use of the magic words like 'Please" or 'Thank You'. Does it hurt to be just nice to the person serving you??

I was been told off by a customer yesterday for having 'No' common sense just because I informed her about our current promotion while I was sorting out her purchase. Just because I was sorting out her ourchase to help her save money, I was been deemed as NO common sense. WTF. This is the first time in my retail life that a customer said that to me. If they want us to respect them, shouldn't they respect the salesperson first?? Deserve what you deserve. If you are been nasty to others, don't expect them to be nice to you. What goes around, comes around. ARGH!!!!
