Do I have enough faith in you, so I can be faithfull to you?
But it said that faith comes from hearing the message
Will time then brings my faith in you?

Specialized ~ Contribute ~ Horizontal-Vertical
Konsep ini pertama terpikir saat hendak implementasikan dalam lingkup kerja internal di IA, dimana jumlah team masih berkisar di angka 5, ada di level profesional, dengan level senior staff keatas dan manajemen menerapkan waktu kerja yang cukup fleksible karena hendak mengambil advantage dari teknologi cloud computing itu sendiri.
1. Specialized in current tasks & responsibilities
2. Contribute in your specialization
3. Horizontal-Vertical your way to the top --> Achieve Excellence
Diharapkan dengan penerapan manajemen tersebut dapat tercipta rasa saling percaya antar team member, kreatifitas dan harmony dalam pekerjaan dan keseimbangan dalam kehidupan.

The World is a Big Place
Dunia tak selebar daun kelor, it is a big place. To put it in a word? Hm... I think "festive" is representative enough.

30'' Speech by Bryan Dyson (CEO of Coca Cola)
"Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them - Work, Family, Health, Friends and Spirit and you're keeping all of these in the Air.
You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back.
But the other four Balls - Family, Health, Friends and Spirit - are made of glass. If you drop one of these; they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for it."
WORK EFFICIENTLY DURING OFFICE HOURS AND LEAVE ON TIME. GIVE THE REQUIRED TIME TO YOUR FAMILY, FRIENDS & HAVE PROPER REST.

Nice Girls Do Negotiate in Business
Everything was going exceptionally well, and your potential buyer could hardly wait to move forward. Then your worst fear surfaced: "Could you drop the price a bit?"
Help! What should you do now? Well, before you hyperventilate, I suggest you begin by taking a deep breath to calm yourself. Next, follow the five steps below:
1. Don't give away the store. Something odd happens when we get ready to negotiate, especially when the conversation centers on the "price." Rather than enter into a discussion about money, the majority of women I've coached would rather slash their rates just to "keep the peace"—or in this case, keep their "piece of the selling pie."
The above reaction is particularly evident in economically challenging times. But whatever the reasoning, I'm here to say that you don't have to give away the store to just to make a sale.
2. Be an optimist. During negotiations it's important to not panic. When someone wants to discuss your price, rates, or fees, it doesn't necessarily mean you'll have to work harder for the money. It could simply mean that they're interested in what you've got, and it's time to fine-tune the details. So set yourself up for success by establishing an optimistic mindset.
One terrific success-ensuring mantra is to tell yourself, "This will work out for everyone." It sure beats the alternative: slipping into self-sabotaging thought patterns. You want to avoid muttering, "I knew this was too good to be true," or "Yep, once again I lose out to the competition." That kind of stinkin' thinkin' leads you down the path to reckless deep discounting, where you'll say anything just to make a sale.
3. Avoid making assumptions. Even after you get your positive outlook in check, you can quickly lose ground by making assumptions as to what the other person wants or will settle for. Interestingly, that's what most people often do. In most cases it's because they don't know how to frame their opening question.
4. Let your buyer open up. Asking one simple question can open the door for your buyer to reveal how much they are ready, willing, and/or able to pay. And yet, the question is so simplistic, it could seem too good to be true. Nevertheless, it works.
Just ask, "What are you looking to spend?" Then be quiet. As easy as this sounds, what trips most women up is waiting to hear the answer. Resist the temptation of going back into your head to tell yourself why the sale could fall apart. As stated earlier, stay optimistic. Then give your buyer the chance to open up.
5. Get them to take a few items off the shelf. Once you know what the buyer's prepared to spend, you're in a great position to begin negotiating. And here's a big surprise: You can actually set things up so your customer negotiates with themselves.
Once the budget has been revealed, say with confidence, "That's doable. All we have to do now is narrow down the top things [options, features] you must have to get started [solve your immediate problem]." Follow that with, "So what are your top three must-haves?" When you do this, you'll be the expert who helps your buyer to determine what will work for them—right now and at the price they can afford.

Comparable
Have you ever been to Taman Mini Indonesia Indah? When you see list of attractions we can find there, you can feel how this park is started with a brilliant idea.There we can find:
Istana Anak-anak Indonesia: Indonesia Children Castle, featuring fairy tales painting from Indonesia and all over the world.
Perahu Angsa Arsipel Indonesia: Swan Boat to explore Indonesia archipelago shaped lake.
Taman Ria Atmaja: a 60 Sq m stage in an 4000 Sq m area, well known as Dangdut Terminal (Dangdut: popular unique music genre in Indonesia).
Taman Renang Ambar Tirta: Swimming pool for adult and children, equipped with trainer and lifeguard.
Teater Imax Keong Emas: A shopisticated IMAX technology snail shaped theatre, with several IMAX movies featuring Indonesia natural and cultural richness.
Desa Wisata: When a day is not enough to explore TMII, there is Desa Wisata, a hostel for individual or groups visiting TMII from outside Jakarta to stay overnight.
Transportasi TMII: The means of transportation, get you around the "Archipelago".
Titihan Samirono/Aeromovel: Another way to get around is the fast train, Aeromovel. This is an example of the fast and efficient train that could provide nowaday mass transportation for Indonesia.
Sky Lift Indonesia (Kereta Gantung): Want a quick and easy geography lesson? Take the Sky Lift for an aerial tour of the park and one of the sights that will stay with you is a scale model of the islands of Indonesian archipelago set in a smalll lake.
Teater Tanah Airku: The "Tanah Airku" Theatre is the first in Indonesia equipped with high technology to an international standard. The physical aspect of the "Tanah Airku" Theatre is a marriage of the typical Indonesian and the international aesthetic. Indonesian ornamentation such as 'gunungan' (mountains), elements from Javanese puppet shows, the roof shapes of Sumatra and Sulawesi, with a touch of Kalimantan Dayak style, all is harmoniously blended. Combine this with modern sound and lighting effects and the complete stage equipment of a stateof the-art theatre and you have a dramatic experience long remembered.

With this kind of great idea, great nature and the culture of hospitality, Indonesia has huge potential to be equal with other countries in the world. So my generation should have the confidence, proud to be Indonesian, proud to be born and live in this amazing country. Believe in yourself and together we can!
