God's Amazing Hands

Perhaps you find yourself in a season of life when things are coming at you from every direction and it's difficult to see what's ahead. In the midst of uncertainty, confusion and chaos one thing remain absolutely certain: those who are secure in the Lord are in amazing hands.

Father, help me to be encouraged knowing that Jesus prayed Psalm 31:5 when He was on the cross. In the midst of pain and suffering, he committed His life into Your hands.

RULE 21: Be Cool

At work you should retain your cool at all times and, no matter what, never ever lose your dignity. If there’s an office costume party, you can laugh and joke with everyone else, but let them do the dressing up. You remain apart from all that office nonsense. Will this get you a reputation as standoffish? Arrogant? Self-important? Not if you’re a Rules Player, because you’ll know the Rules to make sure people admire, like, and respect you, without the need to dress up as Elvis or a fairy or whatever the theme is this year. Stay cool at all times. Give generously, support the cause, but leave the red noses for others to wear—at least when you’re at work. Remain civilized and sophisticated at all times.

Let’s face it, you are there to do a job. That’s what they pay you for. You ain’t there to make a fool of yourself. Just so long as you do that job—and do it well—the way you do it is up to you. You can choose to get involved in the social side of the office, or you can remain one step removed. This makes you one step away from your colleagues and thus one step nearer to being their manager.

None of this means you can’t have a laugh and joke with your coworkers; just don’t get so friendly or personal that it would become impossible to promote you above them. If you are going to be their boss soon, then it pays to keep a little bit of distance. And you do this by being cool.

If you don’t know what cool is, try typing cool into your word processor and then, using the Thesaurus option, look for antonyms. You get: warm, excited, unfashionable. For warm,think sweaty hands—uncool. For excited, think small boy on Christmas Day—cute but uncool. For unfashionable think chunky cardigans—warm and uncool.

So we want to be
• Not warm—think not sweaty.
• Not excited—think not panicked.
• Not unfashionable—this isn’t the same as fashionable but rather a timeless stylishness, which is, of course, completely different.

Cool operators are relaxed and in control. In a crisis they don’t rush about screaming, but rather implement safety procedures and calmly and smoothly handle the situation. They are cool. They keep their heads and their composure. And invariably these are the people who others will turn to in a difficult situation. You don’t want someone who panics; you want someone cool, calm, and collected.

REMAIN CIVILIZED AND SOPHISTICATED AT ALL TIMES.

What happen was...Samuel, Mr. Horton's Secretary, Erin, Heidi & myself were having a discussion on Marcus's upcoming birthday celebration. Mr. Horton's Secretary terasa and feel upset when Heidi commented that Mr. Horton's Secretary is tak guna...I think is because Mr. Horton's Secretary didn't read Heidi's message...I help a bit and mention that Mr. Horton's Secretary is very busy, have to jaga anak when go home...

Thereafter, Samuel & Mr. Horton's Secretary got converse on this topic, I slip in because I want to pay Mr. Horton's Secretary my lunch money...if Mr. Horton's Secretary can terasa this, then I am very sure that Mr. Horton's Secretary will also terasa on the left-behind thingy...Mr. Horton's Secretary got things to do one lah...Samuel no need to worried, Mr. Horton's Secretary is the most cunning one...hahaha...

Marcus went out off the room...Lord Alfonso & Sir Terry was in the room...I was talking to the merchants randomly, I mention that The Japanese are currently using e-voucher, I also touch on e-wallet...somehow, Sir Terry pick it up and like my idea...then Sir Terry pointed me out, also add on that rupa-rupanya, Marketing also got smart people (duh!) and Lord Alfonso mention; that is why J___ is here...didn't catch whether Lord Alfonso got mention Mr. Horton's Secretary name or not lah...

The Lord Will Provide

God provided, but it was in His timing, not mine.

Abraham went through a far more difficult situation with his son Isaac. He was asked to take his son and sacrifice him on a mountain. Without hesitation, Abraham obeyed and took Isaac there. This 3-day journey gave Abraham plenty of time to change his mind, but he didn't.

When Isaac questioned his father, Abraham replied - God Himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering. I wonder if Abraham's anxiety grew with each knot he tied as he bound Isaac to the altar and with every inch he raised his knife. What a relief it must have been when the angel stopped him! God did indeed provide a sacrifice, a ram, caught in the thicket. God tested Abraham's faith, and he proved to be faithful. And at the right time, to the very second, God provided.

Thank You, Lord, for Your Provision. Help me to trust that you will provide, even when it seems I've been waiting for so long.

BLACKPINK

Eh...I overheard Marcus telling Anis...to get Mr. Horton's Secretary to help on something...help what? Is Marcus segregating us? Samuel to Events, I to Trade Planning and this Mr. Horton's Secretary to Loyalty? Or I yang perasan aja & terlampau berfikir...hmm...

RULE 20: Be Attractive

There is no doubt about it, and statistics back it up: handsome people get on better than those less fortunate in this regard. Handsome people have to work less hard to get ahead. But what makes someone attractive, handsome? If you look at someone you consider attractive, you will be hard pressed to see what it is they’ve got that makes them so good looking. Attractiveness, if we ignore the obvious physical impairments such as buck teeth or a warty nose—all of which can be corrected—is very hard to define. Take any Hollywood stars, such as Liza Minelli, Woody Allen, Julia Roberts, and Sean Penn, who aren’t classically good looking, and we can see that they have charisma, charm, magnetism, a larger-than-life attitude. They come right out at you. They have life, presence, drama, power, and personality.

You too must have these things. They are easier to acquire than looks anyway. Being attractive comes from within. Know that you’re being judged at all times. If you dress well, pay attention to your grooming, cultivate that smile, look good and cool at all times, and come across as friendly, warm, articulate, and caring, you will also come across as attractive and good looking. Looks are all in the smile and the eyes. Smiles that light up a room are magnetic and powerful. Eyes that twinkle and are full of life are enough to make us think the whole face is good looking.

Attractiveness is also about posture and position. If you slump you give off an aura of gloom and depression. This is unattractive and not good looking.

Your walk should be erect, proud, assured. So should your handshake. Everything about you should be up and open, happy and confident. This is attractive. Your grooming should be faultless, your dress sense superb, your style quirky but suave, your whole demeanor splendid and outstanding. This is attractive.

You do not
• Slouch
• Slump
• Look scruffy

You do
• Get anything fixed that can be fixed that would be considered unattractive—warts, bad breath, bad teeth, poor eyesight. (Stop squinting for God’s sake and get some proper glasses!)

LOOKS ARE ALL IN THE SMILE AND THE EYES.

More Than Just Waiting

While it's true that waiting can make us impatient, there are also good things to do and learn in the waiting.

The disciples hadn't simply been waiting - they'd also been preparing.

As we wait on God, it doesn't mean not doing nothing or impatiently rushing forward. Instead we can pray, worship and enjoy fellowship as we anticipate what He'll do. The waiting prepares our hearts, minds and bodies for what's to come.

Yes, when God asks us to wait, we can be excited - knowing that we can trust Him and the plans He has for us.

God, when I'm struggling, remind me that the seasons of waiting aren't for nothing but help to reveal Your loving handiwork in my life.

Audley End House

Wah, today I spotted Mr. Horton's Secretary doing charts leh...macam-macam jenis lah...hmm...but for who leh?

If it is from Lord Alfonso...sigh...if Lord Alfonso have already test drive Mr. Horton's Secretary...that means Lord Alfonso have seen Mr. Horton's Secretary's capability...sigh...therefore, next time Lord Alfonso won't ask me to run reports or insights for Lord Alfonso anymore...

If it is from Marcus...that means Marcus knows how to delegate already...again; Mr. Horton's Secretary will gain the upper hand...sigh...

If it were from the merchants...sigh...then, I know where I stand lor...just a functional coordinator...

Adoi; pening - pening...

M2 Malletier

Today, I also very bad...sigh...I have floor walk mah...I was half-hearted...since Mr. Horton's Secretary didn't participate...shall my minutes of the floor walk to be extended to Mr. Horton's Secretary or not...in the end, I also tak buat...

That is because; Mr. Horton's Secretary also didn't share lor...hahaha...I overheard Mr. Horton's Secretary talking to Marcus on the Supplier's Gala Dinner Night...then secondly, when Lord Alfonso email the whole team to enquire on something...Mr. Horton's Secretary reply back to Lord Alfonso, but I tak ada di cc kan...I am sure Mr. Horton's Secretary got put Marcus in the loop lah...so, since Mr. Horton's Secretary also like that...I also not big-heart enough...jadi begini lor...hahaha...

Norland Nannies

Hmm...I could be wrong...I am just suspecting...the sharing from Samuel last week...I think both Samuel & Mr. Horton's Secretary already have a private discussion among themselves on the topic, it is their evil plan to derail me...just like previously, where the both of them suggested to me to reduce the commentaries...and now look what happen...Mr. Horton's Secretary's slides have the most commentaries, the biggest chunk of all, covering press ad too...and also campaign...celaka betul...never mind, I will not fall, because God is within me...

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

...Samuel shared this with me...when the both of us were in Samuel's car; going out for our Friday's lunch.

As per Samuel's observation and so-called sensitive feeling...Samuel felt that Marcus is freezing Mr. Horton's Secretary wor...Samuel pointed out that Samuel is attach to something and I am also attach to something...but Mr. Horton's Secretary is not attach to anything and cannot be seen by the merchants. Marcus should use Mr. Horton's Secretary since Mr. Horton's Secretary is so good at Trade Planning wor...Samuel said that Mr. Horton's Secretary is better than Samuel...Mr. Horton's Secretary also can work very well with Uncle Andy too...Samuel is wondering whether Samuel should point this out to Mr. Horton's Secretary or not...or whether Mr. Horton's Secretary got feel it too or not, whether Mr. Horton's Secretary got feel ter-left out or not...

I only answer...yes, Mr. Horton's Secretary is also better than me at Trade Planning too...I am a blur sotong, I don't notice this but I do, hahaha...if Samuel want to approach Mr. Horton's Secretary, how is Samuel going to broach that topic...ishh...this Samuel is trying to hint me that I am kaki perampas is it...celaka betul...

First and foremost, Mr. Horton's Secretary is not anchor to nothing, Mr. Horton's Secretary got the competitor review, the leaflet thingy going on, the Suppliers Night Gala Dinner and every Friday (during the festive period) press ad review in the marketing war room...Mr. Horton's Secretary is very bijaksana but only selective in the work...Mr. Horton's Secretary can do many things, but it is a choice that Mr. Horton's Secretary made that Mr. Horton's Secretary only want to do certain things only...I; on the other hand...may be stupid, may be doing a lot of unnecessary things...maintaining silly things, follow-up on menial foolish jobs, however when the times calls for it...I have the info on hand...

The problem also lies on Marcus who can't delegate as well, I just took up the initiative...Mr. Horton's Secretary also can what if Mr. Horton's Secretary wants to...if Mr. Horton's Secretary leads Trade Planning, I will play a menial role and there will be no positive enrichment nor enhancement. Unless, God gives me another role to add meaning into my job.

Samuel also said that Marcus is not a good Trade Planner, make us function like coordinator only wor...

I hold onto GOD; who has a plan for me! Let Go & Let God!
