Aktiviti kerjaya yang terlalu padat dan bebanan kerja yang agak meruncing menjadikan aktiviti “blogging” menjadi agak sepi dan muram sejak kebelakangan ini. Saya bercadang untuk mengambil tempoh bertenang, dan memulakan semula apa yang pernah saya bina. Maka, untuk tempoh masa yang ada saya bermukim di sini semula tanpa domain mahupun hosting berbayar.

Earth Hour

Baru sebentar tadi seluruh dunia telah melalui tempoh “earth hour” selama sejam bermula jam 8.30 – 9.30. Rasanya sebahagian besar (rasanya tidak semua) rakyat Malaysia telah bergelap.

Ianya merupakan satu perkara yang bagus untuk menjetik kesedaran orang ramai. Setidak-tidaknya mereka akan bertanya mengapa kempen ini diadakan. Dari sinilah kita akan mendengar istilah-istilah seperti “Carbon Foot Print”, Kesan Rumah Hijau, Lapisan Ozon dan sebagainya. Kalau nak tahu lebih lanjut, rajin2lah menggogle ya.

Bagi sesiapa yang berminat, anda bolehlahmengikuti perkembangan terkini tentang aktiviti ini di url berikut :

Untuk mengetahui fakta kempen “Earth Hour”, anda bolehlah membuat bacaan di laman web Wikipedia : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_Hour .

Berikut pula ialah laman web rasmi kempen “Earth Hour”  : http://www.earthhour.org/

Kempen ini boleh dilihat dari pelbagai aspek seumpama penjimatan tenaga, mengurangkan kesan karbon terhadap pemanasan global dan dari aspek individu ianya boleh dilihat dari aspek pembaziran.

Selamat bergelap!

Sebelum saya bercerita tentang tips-tips yang baik, adalah baiknya saya tanyakan kepada anda. Apakah yang dinamakan domain? Mungkin makna secara tepat dan ilmiahnya boleh anda dapatkan daripada dari kamus-kamus ataupun wikipedia di internet.

Secara mudahnya, domain adalah nama alamat atau url yang harus ada pada sesebuah blog ataupun laman web. Mengapa saya katakan harus dan bukannya wajib ( tidak merujuk pada hukum fiqh)? Ini kerana tanpa domain pun web atau blog anda masih boleh diakses asalkan ianya mempunyai IP yang boleh diakses oleh pihak luar.

Contohnya adalah seperti :

• http://172.16.16.240:8080/blog/index.asp ( url tanpa domain )
• http://www.mohdrazani.com ( url dengan domain )
• http://www.irfankhairi.com

Jenis – jenis Domain

• http://ikanbilis.blogspot.com ( www.blogspot.com )
• http://ikanbilis.wordpress.com ( www.wordpress.com )
• http://ikanbilis.cjb.net ( www.cjb.net )

• mohdrazani.com
• mohdrazani.net
• mohdrazani.com.my
• mohdrazani.biz

Tips-Tips Memilih Domain :

1. Identik :Ini bermakna domain anda harus menajdi identiti web atau blog anda. Ianya haruslah mewakili aktiviti yang anda lakukan samaada ianya bersifat peribadi, sosial ataupun komersial.
2. Sambungan .com : Ia hanya sebagai saranan kerana .com bersifat lebih popular berbanding yang lain. Jika ianya sudah digukan oleh pihak lain, barulah dipertimbangkan untuk menggunakan .net, .com.my, .biz dan lain-lain lagi.
3. Mudah diingat : Berikan keunikan pada web atau blog anda dengan nama yang mudah dan ringkas dingat.
4. Jangan terlalu panjang : Ringkaskan domain anda agar tidak keterlaluan panjangnya. Jika ianya melibatkan dua sukukata atau lebih, cuba gunakan “-” sebagai alternatif agar ianya menarik dan mudah di fahami.
5. Periksa domain : Periksalah domain yang anda inginkan sebelum mendaftarnya kerana mungkin ianya telah digunakan oleh pihak lain. Ianya boleh anda lakukan di penyedia perkhidmatan. Contoh : exabytes.com.my.
6. Senang disebut & dieja : Pastika jua ianya mudah disebut dan dieja. Adakalanya, domain yang sukar dieja dan disebut akan menyukarkan memori seseorang untuk memanggilnya.
7. Gunakan nama yang sopan : Ini sekadar nasihat. Orang kata nama akan menggambarkan tuannya. Seumpama memilih dan memberi nama anak, pilihlah nama-nama yang baik kerana pada nama itu terkandung unsur-unsur doa.

By John C. Maxwell

Salespersons are coached in the power of a first impression. Orators devote hours to opening statements. Journalists are admonished never to bury the lead. Sprinters practice racing out of the starting blocks. Interviewees are taught the importance of their initial handshake with a potential employer.

In leadership, as in many other areas of life, the beginning often determines the end. False starts and weak foundations can be ruinous. Here are five insights to help you start successfully.

HOW TO START SUCCESSFULLY

1. Start With Yourself

As Gandhi famously said, “Be the change you want to be in the world.” By starting with yourself, you build the self-confidence needed to attract and inspire others. Leading yourself well is a precursor to accomplishment, and accomplishment earns respect. In order to make deposits in the lives of followers, you have to have a beginning balance in your leadership account. Start leading by proving your mettle – to yourself and to prospective followers.

2. Start early

Sadly, many leaders squander their early years and spend the rest of their careers trying to make up for lost time. In leadership, as with finances, decisions made early in life accrue the most interest. When we choose poorly or establish bad habits, we put ourselves in debt. Then, we must not only repay our loans, but the interest on them as well. On the flip side, when we invest our time and talent wisely from a young age, we reap the benefits of compounding interest on our leadership.

Specifically, where should leaders start? What areas should take precedence at the beginning? From my experience there are 10 things you should do as a leader prior to reaching age 40:

1. Know yourself
2. Settle your family life
3. Determine your priorities
4. Develop your philosophy of life
5. Get physically fit
6. Learn your trade
7. Pay the price
8. Develop solid relationships
9. Prepare for the future
10. Find purpose for your life

If you’re over 40, it’s never to late to make improvements. Unfortunately, an old dog doesn’t easily learn new tricks. Undoing years of misplaced priorities and poor self-management will take extra effort.

3. Start Small

Don’t expect to understand what it takes to get to the top, just take the next step.
Think big, but start small. Doing so encourages you to get started, and keeps you from being frozen by the magnitude of the vision in front of you. When you accomplish a small step, you gain confidence that you can accomplish the next step.

The success found in starting small comes when you diligently apply the lessons you learn. As my friend, Dick Biggs, has said, “The greatest gap is between knowing and doing.” Commit to mastering the details under your control, and follow through when experience has given you instruction.

4. Start with the end in view

“Most people spend more time planning their grocery shopping than designing their future.”
~ Tom James, Personal Development Coach

To start with the end in view, you need energy and direction. Let your passion pull you forward, and let your planning give you guidance. In order for passion to be a driving force in your life, you must identify a purpose for you life. To locate your purpose, consider your strengths, interests, and past successes. What roles do you find most enjoyable? What brings you the greatest sense of satisfaction? Examine the areas that make you feel strong and angle your career toward them. Also, find people who have been successful in the area of your interest. Listen to them and watch their lives.

For planning to give you direction, you need to write down goals. Goals lend structure to your purpose, and they keep you leading “within the lines.” They focus your action and move you toward your overall vision.

5. Start Now

We exaggerate yesterday, overestimate tomorrow, and underestimate today. Embrace action daily. Don’t wait until it’s too late before you begin to pursue the visions implanted in your heart. Make each day your masterpiece; you’ll be surprised where you end up after stringing together a few months of superb days.

I’ll leave you with one final thought:

“How wonderful it is that we need not wait a single minute before starting to improve ourselves and our world.” ~ Anne Frank

Opinions drive performance. Without conviction, employees work without enthusiasm, performing only the work they must to stay employed. When a better offer comes along, they will not hesitate to leave.  

In the meantime, they certainly are not innovating or excelling on behalf of a company whose values and actions are inconsistent with their own beliefs.  

Getting employees to behave in a manner consistent with company goals is a driving force behind nearly all strategic communication. This can be achieved in a number of ways.  

Know your audience 

Communication is a two-way process. It does not comprise writing or speaking alone. Until the writing is read, the speaking heard and the message understood, there is no communication. 

To ensure that your message is understood, it is essential that you know your audience. If you are addressing your colleague from the same specialty or discipline, you can usually assume the same understanding equal to your own.  

When addressing members from other departments or specialty, it is seldom wise to assume any specialist knowledge at all – technical terms should be explained and the usage of complicated jargon reduced.  

When presenting some detailed aspects of your work to a varied audience comprising specialist colleagues and management executives from the upper echelons, identify the lowest common element of your audience – whether by ability or qualification – and pitch your work accordingly. 

Involve your listeners 

Audience involvement results in commitment. If the talk is sensible, sincere and not stereotyped, your audience will be more perceptive to the message that you are trying to deliver.  

One way to do this is to underline the relevance and the immediate effect your message will have on your audience.  

People are not likely to be interested in remote issues. When conveying certain changes that have been implemented, illustrate, with examples, how these relate to the environment in which your staff and colleagues work and how it will impact them.  

Good speakers can empathise with the hopes and struggles of the average members of the audience, appreciate their prudence and ruminate on details that concern them.  

To be a good communicator, you have to engage the people you are addressing. Greater involvement leads to better dialogue, which leads to a better understanding and a greater acceptance of what you are proposing.  

Persuade your people 

One of the most effective persuasion tools is passion. If you are passionate about your vision, it is easy for others to be swayed by your enthusiasm.  

Building excitement with an audience must begin with your own enthusiasm.  

You may have all the facts and details at your fingertips, but if you cannot package and present them with passion and conviction, you are not going to get the job done.  

Moreover, if you have anything short of total commitment and belief in what you are saying, people can see right through it.  

One of the best ways is to tell your audience why you are so excited. You can start off by completing the following sentence: I am excited to be sharing this with you because …  

If you can craft a single sentence that articulates your state of mind, it can go a long way toward rallying your supporters as well as convincing the sceptics.  

Keep it simple  

The fundamental principle applicable to all active communication modes is to present your message simply and clearly so that it can be readily understood.  

Refrain from dazzling graphics or lengthy reflections. The challenge is to present your basic ideas in terms that are so simple that a 10-year-old can understand what you are saying.  

Use short sentences. When you are on the verge of using a long word, stop and think. There is almost always a simpler way of saying the same thing. Remember that audience interest wanes after 10 minutes.  

Keep in mind that employees may not have time to sift through your verbal or written meanderings to get to the real issues at hand.  

Reiterate your points  

The spoken word is ephemeral. A repetition of the major points is therefore essential to ensure that they are understood. Ideas can be abstract until they are implemented.  

If you don’t think your audience had assimilated your message, walk them through some implementation scenarios before you leave the room.
